Superhero week: Friday Reads on Superman: Red Son
Gollancz Author: Simon - June 14th, 2013
Friday Reads
Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar, Dave Johnson, Kilian Plunkett, Andrew Robinson and Walden Wong
I’m not what you would call an ardent comics fan. I came to Marvel and DC and the like as a grown-up. When I was a child it was Battle and Commando comics that kept me entertained (Achtung Spitfire!). So I don’t have a deep history of the superheroes. And for me Superman has never seemed that interesting – too invulnerable, too damn nice. I much … More

Gollancz Author: Jen - June 14th, 2013
Fiction, Friday Reads, Gollancz Geeks
Happy Friday!
We’re back with a brand new Gollancz Geeks Friday Reads! Every Friday we’ll be sharing a Gollancz Geeks reviews with you. Today’s brilliant Wolfhound Century review was written by Patrick Mahon. You can tweet Patrick @PJMahon or leave a comment for him on our blog. Have you read Wolfhound Century? Let us know in the comment or by tweeting us @Gollancz.
Check back next week for another Gollancz Geeks Friday Reads review!
Wolfhound Century is Peter Higgins’ debut novel, although you wouldn’t know it from the assured storytelling and confident style. This book reads like the output of a seasoned professional, rather than a man with a handful of published short stories to his name.

Superhero Week: The Wonder of Lynda Carter
Gollancz Author: Jon - June 14th, 2013
Films, TV shows
Anyone who either knows me, or has seen my tweets, can’t help but notice I am something of a Wonder Woman fan. And it’s all because of Lynda Carter.
The former Miss America first slipped into the slinky costume of red, white and blue back in the 1970s for a TV movie called The New Original Wonder Woman, a wordy title designed to distance it from a terrible first effort a year or so earlier in which a blonde, tracksuited Cathy Lee Crosby played the super heroine but lacked superpowers, the iconic costume and screen presence (and the famous, catchy theme tune). Even earlier than that, the producers of the campy 60s Batman series sought out fresh TV gold from the pages of comic books and commissioned a short pilot film where Wonder Woman was played as a clumsy, single woman still living at home with her mother in 60s suburbia – the main joke appearing to be that as Wonder Woman she wasn’t nearly as attractive as she thought she was. A distinctly insulting approach for an iconic character. Both these curiosity pieces are available on YouTube if you want to lasso them down.
