In stark contrast to the real life superheroes I’ve discussed before, it appears that a few Brooklyn banks were being terrorized by a Red Skull look-alike before being stopped by a Jewish civilian patrol.
The New York Post reported that Kevin Crawford, 20, allegedly robbed a couple of banks in Brooklyn with a gun and a Halloween mask reminiscent of Captain America’ arch nemesis, the Red Skull.
It all started on Tuesday, October 19th when he successfully made off with $1,960 from the Dime Savings Bank in Williamsburg. Continue reading ‘Jewish Civilian Patrol Stops Real Life Red Skull’

The Fate of this Awesome Journey

As you know, I started Journey into Awesome to chronicle my research process as I got ready for the Comics and Popular Art Conference at this year’s Dragon*Con. Well, the con is almost here and I’ve been pondering the fate of this blog.
I have decided that after Dragon*Con I’m going to continue my research into the world of real life superheroes and keep the blog going. However, since there are so many comic related topics that I want to discuss, I’ve decided to broaden the blog’s scope a bit.
Now this won’t be the place to talk about who punched who. There are already plenty of sites like that. I’ll be researching and discussing sociopolitical issues, gender representation in comic, and things of that nature.
I hope you’ll continue reading through the transition. I’m really excited about the possibilities and I hope you are too.
What kind of comic related topics would you like to see discussed? Let me know in the comments and maybe I’ll do a little research.
