Allen Bellman drew fame for drawing 1940′s Human Torch and Captain America. He had a long career spanning decades in comic books.

Bellman was slated to appear at the February 20th Tampa Comic Book Convention, but will no longer be able to attend.

My first effort at “blogging” before it was called “blogging” was a Pop Culture, Comic Book column at CrazedFanboy.com.

A lot sure has changed since these days.

Due to the support/pressure from my DOB comrades, Splash Page was resurrected to publish Pop Culture topics and the “State of the Nation” will continue to deal with politics and heavy issues.

To kick off the new year, 2011, I started a National column for Examiner.com discussing Comic Book Movies: http://www.examiner.com/comic-book-movies-in-national/brandon-jones

Beginning in December of 2010, I began writing on Examiner.com, check out my articles there: http://www.examiner.com/comic-books-in-tampa-bay/brandon-jones
