Change of plans. I will not have new books until Sunday. 
 

With the slight wind chill that will be -60Cs 

AB will have rolling brownouts so sorry u can't plug in your Tesla tonight. Hope your electric heater works so u may need to turn off your wifi, Youtube, Netflix and Chatrooms ASAP.

Overall, a satisfying 8.5/10 rating from me for 10 episode season 1. Would rate 'Monarch' a bit higher if my streaming device provided English sub-titles for the several all Japanese conversations. Now I wonder if the revised b/w version of 'Godzilla Minus 1' will be released in North America at all.

Have to admit -35 Celsius or about -34 Fahrenheit is too cold plus add /subtract the windchill. Vancouver, BC's Friday low temperature for this week is only -13 Celsius.

Was watchable. Typical Jason Statham vs. USA call centres action movie.

Happy New Year to Don Johnson, later of Miami Vice tv, who played the young boy in '2024':

'The Queen's Gambit' tv series. Still holds up well 3 years after initial Netflix release. A retelling of the mental chess war btwn Boris Spassky (Russian Federation) and Bobby Fischer (USA) with a damaged Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) in a great lead role performance. Don't need to know how to play chess to enjoy season 1 with it's 1960s USA and French music, fashion.

Thanks for the Bay Con picture Aardvark88. My brother and I are in the center with our table next to the artists Al Gordon and Ken Macklin. I was 17 and he was 20 and we were selling off the collection we had accumulated in New York from the late 60's to the mid Seventies.

Here is another angle on Bay Con 1978:

My buddy trains wrestlers, and loved this take on a famous wrestling family.

Younger generation of collectors like the Standard width of polyethyline bag at 7 1/8", as it is tighter. Have seen another size marketed as Silver Age width at the wider 7 1/4" which is what I use.

Dime novel as a Timely prototype?

Wow that is a lot of Golden age in one shot. I would be rich if I had all those for a dime each.

Sorry to hear u were priced out of the market in 1966 for Superman 1 and Batman 1 at a lofty $2 each:

Happy lunar new year of the Dragon 2024.

Soulful Irish singer Imelda May's 'Diamonds':

Yes, there is an IDW Artist Edition of 'Dark Knight Returns' book 1, I believe, that has Miller vs. Klaus Janson art layout pages.

Editor Weisinger did not think much of Lois Lane or Superman initially.
