I assume that when seeing the title to this post, most fans of DC Comics immediately think of the shapeshifting, fire-hating martian, J’onn J’onzz who made hist first appearance in Detective Comics #225 (November 1955).  Indeed, some call this character DC’s first Silver Age superhero.  Other DC fans might think back a couple of years […]

When you discover something that you’ve never seen before, there is a thrill — probably what Columbus felt when the lookout hollered “Land HO!”

Víctor E. Pazmiño was not just some hired pencil who put the funny animals on the page to beat a deadline.  His figures are action-packed, never static.  His layouts were revolutionary for their time — breaking out of panels and overlapping.

This talent is so big, Joyville devoted two columns to it.  Follow the link to the first one and when you’ve found you haven’t had enough, go look at the second one too!

Shoot holes in all of your prospects objections using what you learn in these notes…

Once again MyNoteTakingNerd comes through — he does all the work and gives us valuable information.

This time, he’s gone straight to the master — Dan S. Kennedy of No B.S. marketing fame.  Kennedy is the man behind most of the major campaigns you’ve seen in the past 25 years.  He’s the brains behind most of those infomercials you see on TV (especially high profile ones like ProActive acne treatment and Victoria Principal beauty products) as well as putting Joan Rivers into business on QVC.

Nobody in the business disputes Dan’s supremacy.

So our favorite NoteTakingNerd has sat himself down with pencil and paper and taken notes — the thing he does best.

If you want the wisdom of Dan Kennedy without the expense and work of going to his seminars or buying his DVDs, just go check out this terrific blog.
