Moments in Time.... Kurt Roehrig rest in peace

Jon Kurt Roehrig October 28, 1956 to July 22, 2024 Kurt was my boss, my employer, my teacher and mentor. He was a father figure on so many levels and my life is better for the time I spent with him and the life he shared with me. He went peacefully the morning of July 22 in the care of hospice and his family. W Kurt changed the way we race. He was a great engineer, an amazing person and a fantastic mentor to so many of us.

Moments in Time.... from a room in Thailand with Florence

April 2024: Sitting in a hotel room, somewhere near Pluak Daeng, Thailand. Finding this song, a live recording from Oxegen Festival 2010.  An amazing performance.  "And I never wanted anything from you Except everything you had And what was left after that too, oh"   Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over (Lyrics) Happiness hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back She hid around corners, and she hid under beds She kill

Neal Adams database compiled by Dover

I have spent a great deal of time putting this together. It has been a labor of love, tedious and still not finished. But I do think it is to the point of sharing. Perhaps I can use additional input to continue to update, correct and add to it. I have used many resources in generating this.  @mycomicshop Mike's Amazing World of Comics, the CGC Registry (originally generated by @mrlatko and myself) the GCD Index and more.  There are multiple tabs within this Excel sheet. They were all u

Peanuts - Scoop from 1967 San Francisco Press Club Yearbook

I purchased this her, on the CGC Boards from @sfcityduck on 12/5/2023. Scoop 1967  Scoop is the annual yearbook of the San Francisco Press Club.  In 1967, Charles Schulz was featured.  These yearbooks are a very interesting document of their time - full of famous strippers (Carol Doda, etc.), actresses and beauty queens (Dinah Shore, etc.) - and featuring in their respective issues photos and articles and art about and by Schulz and Caniff, as well as tribute cartoons by other artists

Neal Adams - Menomonee Falls Gazette 128 - Neal shows the future using Ben Casey

I buy the Menomonee Falls Gazette because it has Ben Casey reprints in it. Easy way to find some Neal artwork. But this particular issue reprints a Ben Casey strip dated 1964. And in this strip, Neal drew a girl reading a comic book. The title of which was "The Zero Patrol". And it just so happens that 20 years later, Neal would produce a comic book with that title. I thought that was cool.  And now you know too.

Books I would like to own

Books I want to own....... drooling on the cover....Peanuts 4

I am a rather devoted Neal Adams collector, but I have a fondness for Peanuts books as well. My earliest recollection is from when I started to get back into comic books in 1994. I was at a convention in Detroit, the first one I had ever attended. And there, I found a dealer selling a raw copy of this issue. I instantly had to have it and it started my journey back into comic books. I later went on to have it graded and it came back a CGC 9.4. When I sold my first collection, I sold it as well.

Peanuts the #1's

Peanuts #1 - the one-off issue from 1953

Just got this book in from Bob Storms of HighGradeComics. It is a VG copy of a very rare book. Printed in 1953 it is the first comic book to be titled Peanuts.  I will add pictures of the interior to document the sweet Chuck Brown stories. I have owned several copies of this book over the years and ended up selling a few to people in Japan, years ago. While maybe not an iconic cover, the characters certainly are. I think the girl is a character called "Patty" but not to be confused with Pep

Neal Adams - Archie work

I was sorting through and indexing all of my magazines and I came across the Neal Adams index from 1974. Wow, what fun. But the index does include the Archie work. It is not very defined, but titles are there. Maybe we can all find them together.
