Gold Exchange: Vanishing Point 1

Russ Burlingame has published his latest "Gold Exchange" column with Dan Jurgens discussing Vanishing Point #1 on Newsarama.com. As always, Burlingame's questions draw some illuminating answers from Jurgens about the events and characters in his latest story (How does Michelle feel about being Goldstar? Whatever happened to the Linear Men? Will we see more Tyrannosauruses?) But the biggest news in this article is the announcement of the new Dan Jurgens website, DanJurgens.com. Congratulations to Jurgens for finally establishing a solid web presence disseminating news of his many, many activities.

Happy Independence Day

"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival."
-- John Adams

July 2, not July 4, is the actual date that the Second Continental Congress voted to secede from the British Empire. July 4 is the date that the declaration of that decision of independence was signed, and has since become the national Independence Day holiday. One would think that this sort of discrepancy, coupled with the significance of the event, would cause the time period to attract trouble. And it has.

Rip Hunter... Time Master 23

Rip Hunter and his friends have dealt with a George Washington impostor both before and after the Crisis on Infinite Earths (in 1964's Rip Hunter... Time Master #23 and 1990's Time Masters #4). It's only a matter of time before Evil George Washington strikes again!

I would argue that Booster Gold is a truer American hero than most others. Check out my blog!

I swear I thought these comment forms worked until you got your hands on them, TGB. I see that your link from your name works, so I know that works as it should. Are you saying that you had trouble inserting an html <a> link in the comment field itself? Oh, just what I wanted to do for Independence Day: bug hunt. Heh. Though I suppose nothing is more patriotic than repelling invaders and saboteurs.

And now that I've read your column, I must say that I like the parallel of Booster Gold as Paris Hilton. (Sorry, I would've posted at your comments form, TGB, but Google threw me an error and deleted my comment when I tried to post. Made me feel not so terrible about my comment form, that's for sure.)

No this is my fault and I apologize. I didn't realize that the name would link to the site; I assumed (obviously incorrectly) that it would link to the email.

What? You don't think I'd really put your email address out there for spam-bots to discover, do you? Oooh, no, sir!

But seriously, no need to apologize. I don't make it clear what I'm doing with your link on the comment form, so how would you have known? As a partial solution, I've gone ahead and bold-faced your name to indicate that it is a url link. That's how some other comments forms do it, so we'll try it their way. If that turns out not to be good enough, I'll tweak it some more.
