Bilbo Smirnov
So the newly released Hobbit film trailer got you pumped? You’re excited to experience the magic of the Tolkien classic on the big screen? Well, why not start with this terrifying-looking Russian “comic book” adaptation? It boasts “illustrations on almost every page”. That isn’t a joke. Even if you’re unwilling to pay asking price for [...]
He’s Puzzling.
The Punisher is a fairly one-dimensional character. That’s not a knock. Many writers make it work. But let’s face reality; dude has been driven by one event that occurred 30 years ago. Most of his villains are just as single-faceted. Jigsaw included. Handsome thug gets face cut, sometimes wants revenge. But again, who cares? A [...]
Rep Your Set! Comic Book Attire For the True Superfan
Toss it out to the world that you love comics. Fly your freak flag high! This is casual attire for a townie bar or a comic book convention. Clever. I don’t buy leather jackets. Is this overpriced? Buy it anyway just because the dude is doing some variation on “The Fonz” in his auction photos. [...]
The Gates to the Golden Age Slam Shut
Rest in Peace, Joe Simon. I chose to feature an auction that all of you can afford and might just be the way golden age work is intended to be read. Buy it and extend your love to a man who spent his life building little worlds for people to immerse themselves in.
Battle of the Lames
Which of these two forgettable villains that existed just to further the plot and had no energy or motivations of their own is lamer? Guy in a stupid jetpack with laser wrists, CHANCE! OR Terribly designed cyber blade jet shoe purple-hair clown, SPEEDFREEK!
Viva Mexican Comics
Ok, so if we’re going to get technical, some of these aren’t Mexican comics, they’re translated comics from the US. But let’s not get too heavy here and instead just acknowledge that Mexico is awesome and celebrate that fact by bidding on some comics. Buy them for a friend who is building a bar in [...]
Here’s To You, Mr. Robinson
Jerry Robinson passed today. You’ll be hearing a lot about his struggle for creator rights and many people will testify about his ability as an illustrator. I’ll let them do the heavy-lifting and I’ll leave it at this. Thanks, Mr. Robinson. I chose an auction everyone can afford. If you’re looking for first-printings of Jerry’s [...]
Twizted Tuesday
You know when something is twizzy. It’s dark for the sake of it. It appeals to the kid who spends a lot of time at the mall, not because he likes shopping but because his home-life is such a nightmare. It’s for the Korn fans of the world. Comics went through a grueling period where [...]
Faster Than Litigation (Though Most Things Are)
Sonic is in the news at the moment. A creator who worked within the Sonic-verse (yeah, that’s a real thing), Ken Penders is at war with Archie, Sega, and EA. It’s been going on for a minute now; he claims characters he created were co-opted by the Sonic video games without properly crediting him or [...]
Witchblade: Smut? Or Great American Lit?
Witchblade. Looks like a stroke-book, right? For the years Ron Marz was writing this series, he insisted it was anything but. I think starting next week, I’m going to give it a shot. Maybe Ron was right. After all, it’s unfair for me to judge a book simply because it’s got an attractive protagonist. That [...]
