I'm Robert Gillis. My profession is computer geek / demigod (20+ years) but my love is writing. Since 1996, I've written a regular Op-Ed column for the Foxboro Reporter, and since 2006, for the Boston City Paper. My first book, "Nana: My grandmother, Anne Gillis" is published commercially and is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and more. You can buy it now or get more information at www.NanaGillisBook.com. My professional photography is www.GillisPhotos.com. Welcome. Browse. Enjoy.
What was the Silver Age of comic books? Superman, Batman, Superboy, etc.

Welcome to The SILVER AGE of comic books!

Sexist! Preposterous! Implausible! Absurd!

Coincidence upon ridiculous coincidence! Elaborate ruses! Silly plots! Adults behaving like 4th graders! Super villains with over-elaborate and easily-escapable deathtraps!

The SILVER AGE! Exposition – enough exposition in every single panel to clue someone as stupid as a bag of hammers into EVERY detail of the story!

The SILVER AGE! When the laws of science and physics were adhered to with the precision of a Roadrunner cartoon. A time when the super-cats and super-monkeys battled injustice! A time when one of Superman’s girlfriends was a mermaid, and when Superman would travel through time to court Cleopatra, battle a space alien from another GALAXY, save an undersea city, visit a parallel universe, and juggle a planet all in the same five pages! And somehow, it all made sense!

The SILVER AGE! Forget verisimilitude! Forget reality! Forget the simplest solution to any problem – and watch the simplest problem become the biggest problem! Forget logic; forget reason, just buckle up for fun as we cruise back to the comics we loved as kids… THE SILVER AGE!

When GillisPhotos.com was launched in early 2005, everything was created with a mix of Perl scripts to generate pieces of HTML code. Not rocket science, but adding galleries, new pages and photos was tedious and time consuming. Ktools Photostore proved to be a Godsend. With Ktools Photostore, customization is easy, updates and changes are a breeze, and adding photos and galleries is simple. In addition, Ktools Photostore has dozens of features designed specifically for photo sellers. Ktools Photostore allows us to concentrate on photography rather than coding and scripting. We HIGHLY recommend Ktools Photostore.   Click here to learn more.
