Why was Watchmen (a twelve comic book series, count 'em, twelve!) crammed into one single solitary movie, while The Hobbit (one novel -- count 'em, one!) is being turned into THREE?
My full name is David Mark Strom. I already have davestrom and davstrom on other sites. But there is, of course, a comic book geek reason for davemstrom.
There was an old Superboy comic book where a teenage bad boy was in suspended animation just before Krypton blew up, when Superboy (Kal-El) was still a baby. This Kryptonian juvenile delinquent ended up on Earth, where he decided to disguise himself as Superboy and make trouble (like melting battleships to worthless slag, ha ha, and dumping a bag of flour on Lana Lang's head, ha ha!). Anyway. When Superboy confronted him, and he said something like, "Remember me, Kal-El?", Superboy proclaimed: "Dev-Em! My super-memory recalls you!" I just like the sound of that. So I happily put some Krypton into my website name. It is me! Dav-Em! HA HA HA!!! Okay, it is about time I put up my first blog post. This is the beginning of my creative writing website. (As opposed to my technical writing.) I will be updating this a lot. More links, more writing, etc. But for now, I am getting it out there.
I am completing a short story about Holly: "The Barber of Superville." Mainly, what does a superheroine do when her hair gets super-ruined by an obnoxious super-bully? And in case you are curious, my barber really is named Lash. Oh, and I am happy with my prologue for my novel, "The Comic Book Code." It reads well at open mics. Well, so does my short story. Stay tuned for further details. Wait till you meet John Glutt! |
