If things go well, I'll post it here next weekend!
This is the only clue I can give you for now.
Yars! I went to a bunch of comic book shops and conventions this year! I got some good stuff, and here is the best of it!
I've gotten a few Lou Ferrigno autographs before. On this one I had him write- "Strenghth comes from the heart." One time, I got so fucked up, I bought an autograph and asked him to write-"Now I know what a real man looks like." Can you belive it?! He coulda punched my head off, but he was really nice about it. Lou, if you read this blog, and I suspect you do, I'm sorry!!!
Can't remember where I got this, but I love this cover! I always thought if spider man was real, he would shoot webs out of his butt. And he wouldn't chase criminals, he would spin a web and wait for them to stumble into it, then suck their blood out, and return the corpse to the police.
This is from the same comic where Doc Oc is having a crazy spider nightmare. Say what you want, but those chicks look pretty hot in their spider oufits. Especially, the hottie on the right by the cab. Cool spider skirt! Someone should make that!
THIRTEEN "Going on Eighteen" Haha, oh the past is so silly.
This is one of the best buys of the season! It's good to know, when a black person turns into a werewolf, they still have an afro.
What a splash page!
This character design is fucking awesome!
As cool as it looks, it's a silly comic.
As this Hanna Barbera-esque art demonstrates.
Naturally, the Yellow Claw is behind it all.
And then Nick Fury shows up dressed as Conan the Barbarian for no fucking reason!
Look at Captain America's moves! Only a trained expert in combat could pull of attacks like these. Especially that one on the left. Do not try that in a fight! That's some Cap shit you could never understand.
Man, old Jimmy Olsen comics were so fucking nutso! I bet thousands of kids who bought this drew a funny face on the blank face.
Prolly something like this. Haha, hids are so crazy.
The dreaded and mostly forgotten Bulldozer! Why is his name Bulldozer? He looks nothing like one, and is covered with mathmatical equations all over his body. They could have called him "MATHMATICAL MAN." Or given him bulldozer hands. I don't think they thought about this one to much.
This is a terrible ad! Like every other kid, I bought my share of Hot Wheels, but I do not remember anything like this! This ad punches you in the eyes with its confusing art and garrish colors. Plus, I still can't figure out how the damn toy works.
Good ol' Rocket Racer! One of Marvel's most retarded villains by far. A black dude, with a rocket-powered skateboard!!!! And yet he can still give Spidey a hard time. I love you, Rocket Racer! Don't ever change!
I love covers like this! Can you imaging being a kid who loves the Flash in 1974 and seeing this cover? You'd shit your underoos! We're used to super heroes dying and coming back, but back in the day, a cover like this was scary!
I love this Kung Fu ad, because it has a narrative! And according to the ad, you don't need strength or close body contact! I think you might...for Kung Fu!
Well, in this volume of the Flash, he does not die, but fights Captain Boomerang (another of DC's many super retardo villains) and ends up a boomerang of himself flying around in a very sexy gay pose.
What could be cooler than Captain America skateboarding? How about skateboarding for his life in a game called "Kill Derby!"
Classic epic Jack Kirby spread!
What could be scarier than this?!
I really think someone needs to go back and mine kooky comics for tee-shirts. Don't you think skaters would buy a shirt with this shit on it? Especailly with Cap's super skater pose.
I saved the best for last. Would you look at this batshit insane cover!
Before I get to the kooky inside, look at this cool Batman the Movie black and white ad! I've actually never seen this.
I tried to read this, but was defeated by it's stupidity. However, this is a cool panel!
And I think the last Batman movie could have have used more stuff like this!
And this!
And uh...god bless kooky old DC and Marvel shit. It gives me stuff to blog about, and keeps me going!
Love live the Bat-Hulk!!!!
I went to the East Coast! Which for a Westie like me is a strange magical place full of tiny states with strange names! Anyway, here's the Pt. 2 of my Magical Radventure!
This is Boston! Boston is full of old-timey buildings where proto-Americans fought and got shot and stood up to the damn British! It's totally historical! This building is where the first porno was recorded. It was illustrated with pen on parchment paper by top illustrators of the day, while scribes wrote down the moans and groans of delight.
Natrually, one of the first things I did was buy a box of cheap tea...
And toss it in the harbor! Take that damn British and naked Prince William and your really nice butt!
I'll tell you one thing, with guys like me, they'll never try to rule us again. Next it was to the original Cheer's bar! I loved Cheers as a kid, but really felll in love years later as an adult when I realized it was about a bunch of loser alcoholics like me!
Of course, it looks nothing like the show inside, nor do any of the actors hang out there.
But they had a variey of character-themed food items. Oddly enough, they didn't have any Diane food items! I did some investigative research and found out, there used to be a Diane's Dessert menu, but it was changed! Someone got rid of it! Apparently, they really didn't like her in Boston!
You can also buy Cheer's themed items at the gift shop. Norm's Nut's anyone?'
I left a photorealistic drawing of Ted Danson as a tip to the waitress. She was really happy!
Later that night we stopped by a really cool diner called, Rosebud.
It was really neat inside!
This was the Rosebud sampler platter. I recommend it.
The next day, it was off to the world-famous Salem, Mass! Look at that evil witch baby!
It's an amazing town! Full of historical relics of those terrible dark times when people were accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. This is an actual head of a burned witch.
So much history.
And if you want, you can even take a segway witch tour, to get a real feel for how the witches experienced those dark times.
Naturally, we went to the famous Witch Museum to learn the facts about this fascinating era.
One way they would torture an accused with into confessing, is to paint people on a wall, and put some moderately heavy stones on them. Can you imagine how terrible it would be to be slightly discomforted by these rocks?
I can barely look at this, it's so horrific.
An actual magic witch broom! As you can see by the demonstration by our excellent tour guide, it still flies!
Witches were known to employ alligators and shoot them at their foes.
And dragons!
It was very educational. As was Frankenstien's Castle Haunted House Laboratory.
Truth be told, this was a really scary haunted house!
The guys running it were great. They would hit the walls with bats, scream in pain, yell "GET OUT!" walk up behind you out of view and make pig noises super loud.
They were total haunted house pros.
The entire time me and my friend were in Salem we were wasted. Which explains why I made this wacky guy make me this incredible witch balloon! It took like 15 minutes! His hands were shaky and he kept popping the balloons. But he did it!
I really fell in love with this witch! She reiminds me of the Bugs Bunny witch!
The balloon man drew the most incredible chin on her!
And she looked amazing from all angles!
We tried to draw her and couldn't quite capture the magic.
Needless to say, she was quite photogenic!
Sadly, she popped on the boat trip back! I guess witche's powers fail as they get futher away from Salem.
That was that, and it was back to my homies pad. Witch was on ELM Street! How cool is that?
Anyway, the next day I went to an incredible comic shop! Like some real primo shit! It's called Comicazi, and it's a real nutter butter place to find ridiculoso toys and whanot! And manga.
I love this HULK. I wish the Avenger's Hulk was a little closer to this. Especially the hair.
V dolls! Look at those cool jeans!
Plus, Stargate movie action figures! Everybody in Turkey is clamboring for those!
Electronic Robocop with Flight Pack! Woosh! JUST TOUCH HIM! (I think this was based on the cartoon).
Roscoe Pico Train! On the General Lee! And I think that's naked Bo in the back seat?
Elvis, A-Team, Bionic Woman! I had a Bionic Woman doll when I was a small child. It almost turned me gay!
Captain Scarlet!!! With the power of retro-metablysm!
Chillen.
Talking Freddy!
AND Frank Stallone! Sly's brother, who was in one Rocky for one minute as a trash can acceplla singer. Literally, no one in the entire world is looking for this.
Anyway, the store was pretty big, reasonably priced, they had a bunch of kooky old shit, and really cool dudes working there. This is nerd heaven!
Fer real.
I scored a friggin' Starship Trooper's bug for 30 ducks! One of the greatest achievements of my life!!!
Next up, PT. 3! Rhoade Islands!!!
