Bruce Lee Personal Appearance-1970

In between GREEN HORNET and THE BIG BOSS, Bruce Lee made a few movie and Tv appearances but he also made personal appearances!

Rare Will Eisner-1953

In 1953, Will Eisner provided a series of gun safety cartoons along the lines of his PS Magazine work for the military that began around that time and lasted for many years. The article below would seem to indicate he did them for this organization at this specific time and yet I found a couple of these in the archives from papers dated months earlier.

This one seems like it may have been cleaned up a bit by the local paper as most clippings I found are more like the one at top with a dirtier face.

Bob Hastings Articles--Early 1960s

Tony Karloff, the "Son of Frankenstein"

So I saw the above ad and I was, like, WHO?? The SON...of Boris? Having read a number of books on Boris, I knew he had only one child and that was Sara. Additional research showed this fella being billed thusly for at least 3 decades beginning in the mid-'40s. Originally, he seems to have been billed as Boris Karloff's stand-in, then later the "Son of Frankenstein." I found a couple of things that sort of explain who he really was--a low-rent nightclub impressionist/magician who supposedly had Boris's permission to use his last name. I can't imagine he would have approved of the billing as the "SON OF BORIS KARLOFF," though. Does anyone know what Boris--or Sara--might have said about this?

Here it says he swore he was Karloff's disowned son. 

Here it tells a very different story.
