  1. Thanks

    Picked up three excellent books, graded tight & right, priced fair and shipped faster than any order I have ever placed. Anywhere. For anything. Seriously, I can't even get a pizza delivered that quickly.
     
    Huge thanks again, and highly recommended. (thumbs u

    This year, Daredevil #158 & #168, Heavy Metal magazine #1, Cerebus #1, continue filling in runs of Creepy and Eerie, and some more pre-code horror books.  Still need to pick up a Hellblazer #1 in 9.8 also.  Unfortunately, just too broke lately

    I work with many 20-ish to early 30's people, all of whom utterly adore all the comic book movies and TV shows and toys and cons and cosplay and so forth.  They endlessly discuss the films and shows aand all the speculation leading up to opening day, they cosplay their favorite characters at work, one is working on full tattoo sleeves (one Avengers, one Star Wars), a few collect toys related to the comics... but not one reads a comic book.  Ever.  Not even digitally, before you head down that path for possible redemption.  I've tried to interest a few of them, offering small runs of Avengers or Hulk, graphic novels and so forth.  The movies are amazingly cool and absolute must-see events on opening day (true story: the manager had us at less than half staff on Endgame opening Friday because he is such a fan and everybody else HAD to go.  This is a food service delivery business, usually with 20 drivers on a Friday night.  We had 8.  I've never worked such a disaster of a night, thanks to a movie) but the comics from which they are drawn... completely contemptible.  
    Over 30 years of reading and following comics, and I'm still the weirdo for actually READING... and that I dislike some of the films because of how much they deviate from the books?  Never would I have suspected my strange little hobby could become so mainstream cool, while the actual hobby that is the basis for all that they claim to love is almost totally ignored and even viewed as unnecessary and antiquated and for OLD PEOPLE who still READ (insert snotty sigh and eye roll here).
    I don't even hate the movies and shows, honestly.  Not all of them, not completely.  I like a few, a bit.  I wouldn't emigrate to Logan510's Island, not just yet, anyway.  But I feel closer to that attitude with every new release that comes along.
    I'm just... truly baffled.

    "Well we know you're not happy with the way your favorite characters are depicted on film and TV, but HONESTLY it's not our fault! It's the TV/film producers fault!!
    But fear not! We've decided to hire the TV/film producer guy to make changes to our ENTIRE marvel universe, so now you don't have to worry about them changing in the movies!!"

    I was reading a comic book from 1979 today and found this Stan's Soapbox especially interesting given how comic book characters are so mainstream now.
    I find this one especially interesting as I find myself on a very small island, even among my fellow comic book fans when it comes to my lack of enjoyment of the vast majority of superhero movies being produced.
    Enjoy...

    There were TONS of great books, and I was out of money within barely an hour 
    I believe I saw on Little Giant's Facebook they've already reserved the arena for same time next year, so I'm gonna need to start saving now if year #2 is as good as this year was.

    Little Giant Comics OLD SCHOOL COMIC SHOW        
     Everett Arena in Concord NH 
    April 28th from 10a-5p
    This will be an OLD SCHOOL comic show like back in the day, GREAT COMICS, GREAT ART & THE ARTISTS THAT CREATED THEM!
    Here's the deal, I wanted to create the kind of show I would want to attend.
    GREAT COMICS, GREAT ART & ARTISTS!
    I want to enter a room filled with amazing comics, incredible art and talented artists, I don't think that's too much to ask.
    Seems like every show I attend only has a small amount of comic vendors (usually the same 3 or 4 people I see at every show), the rest of the floor is fidget spinners, Cosplay stopping in front of your booth for photo shoots, sweaty ROOT BEER mugs everywhere dripping on your comics or art, Pirates running around, knick knack patty whacks, energy drinks, Ice Cream vendors and flea market fodder........
    NO MORE I SAY!!

    Just had a bit over a foot a few days ago, another foot or so expected in the next couple of days.  No worries though, it'll be gone by the end of April.
