Spider-Man Joins Hawaii Five-0

 

Hawaii Five-0 was appointment television for me growing up, my brothers and I would watch the reruns that came on after school.  Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett was the embodiment of cool to us, and the exotic locale might as well have been Mars, it seemed so far away from our small Massachusetts town.  I just hope that Spidey finds enough Palm Trees to swing from once he joins the force!

Batman and Hawaii Five-0

After posting the Charlie's Angels cover, I got a request for Hawaii Five-0. I definitely wanted to make this happen because it was definitely one of my favorite shows to watch growing up. I didn't think it was going to work because I could not find any illustrations of the show - there were a couple comic storieds but they were in black and white. Fortunately, I found some old TV Guide covers and some Hawaii Five-0 paperbacks and was able to pick an image that fit.

I checked out the new Hawaii Five-0 series pilot and it was OK, I guess. The problem is that Chin Ho and Kono (played by Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park) were much more enjoyable and watchable than the two main stars. The guys playing Steve McGarrett and Dano don't have a tenth of the chemistry of the originals. I'll stick to Jack Lord!
