Bonjour, mes amies! or in good ol’ English, Hello, my friends! Why the French greeting, you ask? Well, why not, I answer! This week I’ve ventured into the D C Comics section of my huge back issue collection and uncovered The Brave and the Bold # 93, cover dated January 1971. The book features an…
Howdy folks! And welcome to another Fabulous Find! This week I’m going back into my 1960’s Marvel stuff and pulled out a couple of Marvel mini books from 1966. There were six books in the series, based on their Marvel Comic counterparts, but I’ve only managed to secure two of the six mini books for…
I had a customer tell me to check out Grave Encounters and Grave Encounters 2. They were streaming on Netflix so I decided to give them a whirl. Grave Encounters and Grave Encounters 2 are “found footage” horror movies from 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Welcome back for another RETRO REVIEW, and this week I’m going back to an issue in the early Silver Age, with D C Comic‘s Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen # 72. This comic is cover dated October 1963 and sports a very nice Curt Swan and George Klein cover! The cover features a few of the many transformations that…

Welcome back to another Fabulous Find! This week I’ve gone deep into my basement and uncovered some of the 7-Eleven Slurpee cups, featuring D C Comics’ characters from 1973! The cups I own from this set happen to feature the six, or eight, Legion of Super-Hero members, if you include Superboy and Supergirl (I do, by…
Zombies have been on the rise. Seems like you cannot turn anywhere without a zombie themed something or other going on near your location. The Walking Dead are not going to miss a single opportunity to take advantage of the popularity given their niche material and target audience. What started as a comic has spilled over onto the small screen and now has a franchise video game series. If you are a fan of the series you can virtually surround yourself with The Walking Dead media.
Blood Night is one of those rare films that I watched and enjoyed, but ended up liking it the more I thought about it. As I’m writing this I’m finding myself appreciating it more and more.
This week’s RETRO REVIEW is Marvel Comics’ Captain Marvel # 17. The comic is cover dated October, 1969, and features a very nice Gil Kane and Dan Adkins cover. Not only does it show the good Captain Marvel front and center, but it also gives the reader another Captain, Captain America, that is, plus Bucky, well not exactly Bucky, it’s Rick Jones in…
Technically, Teenagers from Outer Space is a really bad movie. There are things about this movie that are laughably bad. Despite all of that this is one of my favorite movies. It has a certain charm to it that I just can’t deny. It will never find itself on any credible “best of” list, but it’s on mine!
