The Wizard (D C Thompson, 1974)

Can't quite lock onto who the artist might be...

Post-edit: @all-action-all-picture reckons it's Denis McLoughlin, which is a good call.

Carlos Ezquerra: His Early Comics Work for Wizard

While Judge Dredd co-creator Carlos Ezquerra, who died this week, is well known for his work on 2000AD, he worked for other publishers, including Commando and Beano DC Thomson, which once published many more titles than they do today.

One of them was the long-running action adventure title Wizard, and downthetubes contributor Colin Noble has unearthed his first covers for the title.

From 1934/1935’s “The Wizard Album of Famous Fights” this is “The End of Blackbeard.” Issued by London comics publisher D. C. Thomson (best known for “Beano,” and no relation to DC Comics), this 24-page book features color sticker artwork plates with accompanying descriptions. #7 is Blackbeard’s and features the following mostly-incorrect text:

Captain Teach, known as Blackbeard, was the most inhuman of the pirates. He was a man without mercy, and every honest seaman breathed a sigh of relief when he met his match in 1718.

Lieutenant Maynard, a young naval officer, was given the task of wiping out the nest of pirates at Ocracoke Creek in Carolina. He picked men who had suffered at Blackbeard's hands, and in two sloops they attacked the pirate fleet.

Blackbeard's ship was boarded and the famous pirate met Maynard hand-to-hand. The whole battle depended upon this fight. Cutlass and pistol alike were used, and finally Blackbeard fell to the deck.

His body bore five pistol balls and twenty cutlass wounds.

RIP Ron Smith (1924-2019)

Sad way to start the new year: classic British comic book artist Ron Smith has just passed away. A Spitfire pilot during WWII, he worked for DC Thomson before moving to 2000AD and drawing some of my absolute favorite Judge Dredd stories.

I admit he was pretty much the last of the classic era Dredd artists that I “got”, that I learned to appreciate. But he was an absolute wizard at getting intricately detailed pages out at record times, his action was dazzling and thrilling, and his gloriously hammy expressions were always a source of pure bliss. He’ll be greatly missed.

16 Boston Rooftops That Are Open Right Now added to Google Docs

16 Boston Rooftops That Are Open Right Now

One of the most fun things to do on a rooftop is to broodingly stare out at the city like you’re Batman. But if you’d rather sip on a cocktail and get some sun, instead of contemplating the broken nature of urban life and the crime it breeds, then you need to do some research, because there just aren’t that many rooftops in Boston where you can eat or drink. Luckily, we’ve done the work for you. Here are all the rooftop patios open right now.

Sorry—looks like you screwed up that email address

Want to quickly find restaurants on the go? Download The Infatuation app. The Rooftops Trillium Brewing $ $ $ $ American , Bar Food in Fort Point , Seaport District $$$$ 50 Thomson Place

When it built its new complex in Fort Point, Trillium already had a reputation for making the best beer in the city (granted, that’s a statement that would start a lot of arguments). Now it also has a spacious rooftop bar and great food. Order the roasted oysters and one of their approximately 804 New England IPAs, sit in the sun, and know that there are few people in the world enjoying a better beer-drinking experience than you at that precise moment in time.

Cityside Tavern $$$$ 1960 Beacon St

Does the second floor count as a “rooftop”? Batman would probably find it hard to see the bat signal from there, and all of his fights would draw a crowd of passer-bys, but since those sound like great plot twists for a satirical film, we’ll let it slide. Plus, you can almost see the Chestnut Hill reservoir from the deck at Cityside Tavern, so really, you could also say you spent your weekend sipping Mai Tais “by the water.”

House of Blues $$$$ 15 Lansdowne St

Technically, House of Blues is not open, but the same kitchen crew just opened The Deck on Landsdowne, a rooftop bar on top of the adjacent parking lot. Here you’ll get to sit right under the Green Monster and listen to the sound of baseball, even if you can’t watch it in person (there are also no TV screens here). Eating po-boys on top of a parking garage while listening to baseball - welcome to 2020.

Lookout Rooftop and Bar $ $ $ $ $$$$ 70 Sleeper Street

The cocktails and food at the Lookout Rooftop in the Seaport are just OK. But the view of Fort Point Channel, the harbor, and the downtown skyline is more than worth eating some just OK food. If the city of Boston needed headshots, it would take them here at this loungy spot with couches, fruity drinks, and lots of people taking selfies.

Legal Harborside $ $ $ $ Seafood in Seaport District $$$$ 270 Northern Ave

You may be tempted to swan dive into the harbor from the roof of Legal’s in the Seaport. That’s illegal, dangerous, and gross, so you shouldn’t do it, but nevertheless, that’s how close you are to the water here. The menu features a couple of Legal’s standards like the chowder and lobster roll, but is mostly focused on some decent sushi rolls to go along with raw bar items.

A post shared by Legal Harborside (@legalharborside) on Jun 26, 2020 at 2:53pm PDT

Deck12 $$$$ 65 Seaport Blvd

If you can’t get into Lookout, head to the Deck12 at Yotel a block away. You won’t be directly on the channel like you are at Lookout, but you get the same skyline views, the same loungy couch atmosphere, and unlike Lookout, you can even come here for brunch on the weekend.

Earls Kitchen + Bar $$$$ 800 Boylston St

When you make a reservation at Earl’s, you can request a seat on the patio, but there’s no guarantee of sunshine on your face during the meal. It’s a bit like requesting an empty seat next to you while flying during a pandemic - some companies just shrug and say, “Better luck next time!” At least there are comfortable seats and lobster tostadas at Earls, which we usually prefer to Biscoff cookies.

Coppersmith $ $ $ $ American in South Boston $$$$ 40 W 3rd St

How did they get that vintage airstream on top of the roof at Coppersmith in Southie? We have no idea, go ask the engineers/wizards who made it happen. All we know is that with picnic tables, a decent draft list, and interesting pub food like crab cake sliders, this is a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon.

A post shared by Coppersmith Boston (@coppersmithbos) on Aug 7, 2020 at 7:22am PDT

Dorchester Brewing Company $ $ $ $ Dorchester $$$$ 1250 Massachusetts Ave

Much like a grammarian who looks for mistakes on Twitter, you’ll be equally spoilt for choice at Dorchester Brewing. Their rooftop has high-tops on the deck, picnic tables under a tent, and even more picnic tables in a glass-covered greenhouse, all of which overlook the Boston skyline. There are also 20 beers on tap and M&M BBQ on-site, which means paying attention in English class wasn’t that important after all.

Felipe's Mexican Taqueria $ $ $ $ Mexican in Cambridge , Harvard Square $$$$ 21 Brattle St

From the street level, Felipe’s in Harvard Square just looks like a standard fast-casual taco place. But if you’ve eaten there, you know that it’s a much better option, and if you’ve gone up to the roof, you know that it’s a great place to spend a couple of hours drinking some strong margaritas and eating big burritos.

Rooftop at Revere $ $ $ $ American , Japanese , Bar Food in Theater District $$$$ 200 Stuart Street

There aren’t a lot of things in Boston that could be described as Miami-esque, which we’re mostly fine with. Drinks on the beach would be nice, but we’re good without a bunch of middle-aged men in Guy Fieri shirts trying to find the foam party at Señor Frogs. But with cabanas, a (kiddie) pool, and cream-colored lounge chairs, the roof at the Revere Hotel in the Theater District comes close to approximating South Beach (sort of). The lobster rolls, sandwiches, and churros will keep you happy as you get another drink.

Cunard Tavern $$$$ 24 Orleans St

If a great view, space to spread out, and a lot of flowers are not items you require in a rooftop patio, then Cunard Tavern should suit you just fine. While the minimalist patio might not garner the most enthusiastic endorsement from us, at least there are spicy frozen palomas here, which are really all you need on a Friday evening anyway.

Daedalus $ $ $ $ Bar Food in Cambridge , Harvard Square $$$$ 45 Mount Auburn St

For most of the year, Daedalus in Harvard Square is the type of quiet pub where you might see someone reading Shakespeare while eating a burger at the bar. During the summer, it’s the type of place where you might see someone reading Shakespeare while eating a burger surrounded by flower boxes, shade umbrellas, and sunshine. Man, summer’s the freaking best.

Ristorante Fiore $$$$ 250 Hanover St

So, you really want to go to the North End for a meal. We swear we’ve heard that one before, somewhere. If you’re looking for a rooftop patio as well, then Ristorante Fiore is your only choice. Let’s start with the good news - this patio can be fully covered, if your lunch or dinner happens to be interrupted by an afternoon thunderstorm. The bad news? It’s a fully enclosed space surrounded by brick walls, so you won’t have anything to look out at. But hey, look, there’s some bombolotti on the table!

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by RistoranteFiore (@ristorantefiore_northend) on Mar 9, 2020 at 9:35am PDT

Pier 6 $$$$ 1 8th St

The view at Pier 6, just like the food, is above average - certainly nothing you’d complain about if you have, hypothetically, spent the last six months quarantined in a tiny apartment. But really the best part about Pier 6 is the free boat ride that you can take over to ReelHouse, which does have the best view of the city. So grab a drink at Pier 6, then scuttle over to ReelHouse for a snack. Rinse and repeat until the sun sets, or at least until the captain catches on.

The Colonnade Hotel $$$$ 120 Huntington Ave

The beauty of marketing is that you can pretty much say whatever you want. The Colonnade, for example, claims to have Boston’s only rooftop pool. What they mean is that it’s the only rooftop pool for those who don’t have friends residing in the 72 new condo buildings around town with rooftop pools. So you can either make new friends or reserve a spot at The Colonnade for $45 (with an additional $20 minimum food and drink order). The choice is probably dependent on how much your social skills have declined during quarantine.

Reports: Heat, Winslow agree to three-year extension

The Miami Heat and forward Justise Winslow have reached agreement on a three-year, $39 million extension, according to multiple reports Friday.

The extension will begin in 2019-20 and run through the 2021-22 season. The third year of the deal will reportedly be a team option.

Winslow will earn roughly $3.4 million this season in the final year of his rookie-scale contract.

The Heat had until Monday to agree to an extension with Winslow, who was set to become a restricted free agent next summer if a deal hadn’t been reached.

Winslow, 22, averaged 7.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 68 games (25 starts) last season. He missed the majority of the 2016-17 campaign after needing surgery to repair a torn shoulder labrum.

For his career, Winslow, the No. 10 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, has averaged 7.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 164 games (48 starts) across three seasons.

James takes another shot at Trump during Washington visit

(Reuters) – LeBron James used a visit to Washington on Sunday to express his continued displeasure at Donald Trump, without once mentioning the United States president by name.

James took the court wearing one white and one black shoe for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Washington Wizards in an NBA game in the national capital.

Both shoes had the word “EQUALITY” stitched in capital letters on the back, and they got the attention he apparently was seeking.

”Obviously, we know where we are right now and we know who’s at the helm here,” the four-times NBA most valuable player told reporters after the game, played barely a mile from the White House.

“Equality is all about understanding our rights, understanding what we stand for and how powerful we are as men, and as women, black or white or Hispanic.”

James, a frequent and outspoken critic of Trump, backed losing Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

He has continued his attacks on Trump in the 13 months since the election, saying that the president does not understand that many children look to their leader for guidance and encouragement.

James spoke on Sunday after compiling his third straight triple-double — 20 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists — as the Cavaliers beat the Wizards 106-99.

“No matter your race, this is a beautiful country and we’re never going to let one person dictate how beautiful and how powerful we are,” he said.
