So you want to cosplay as a member of a secret order of Nazi-affiliated madmen bent on world domination? We got your embroidered uniform patch right here! Now you can pretend to be part of a deathsquad fixated on the marriage of science and the occult! FUN!
I just got back from Germany so expect a couple dozen Red Skull related posts this week.
Yes. He is. Buy these.
Poster for your wall. Fight nazism wherever it’s found. Who can argue with that? Hopefully not your wife or husband who insists you take down the comic book posters from your wall. Ask them whose side they’re on.
Very important you read this. Either for the Martin art or the Vaughn story or for your love of Doctor Strange. Whatever gets you there, just read it. It’s fantastic. All issues for cheap here. Buy.
Hats, dude. Comic hats. The most visible freak-flag out there. Go get one. Tell the world you truly do not give a crap.
Here’s the closest I could find to a wearable comic book related hat. Not too goofy, could be a sports team at a glance and isn’t a New Era flat-brim (the surest sign you only date women who work at Mr. Subb). This hat is passable… until you get to the “adjustable fit” component. What does that mean in this case? I don’t know. Hopefully one of those wack velcro dealies, because as lame as those are, they’re still cooler than snapbacks. Snapbacks are in right now, but in among people you want nothing to do with.
To give you an idea of how corny I think snapback hats are, check this auction out. I’d rather wear this Jughead-branded headpiece than a snapback. This thing is collectors-only because if you wear it in public people scooch down a few seats from you on subways and buses. Though, for what it’s worth, this hat is way cooler than your average “young skateboarder” beanie.
Here’s today’s clear winner. Put this on and feel all the power and mystique of Gotham’s caped crusader. Or feel like a true weirdo with a tenuous grasp on reality. Either/or.
Here’s how we count down the days to what will almost certainly be the best film of all time.
With the Captain America movie looming, a bubble economy has emerged on Ebay. Everyone wants to unload their worthless Cap products before the film hits. Do you think Green Lantern stuff is selling big right now? Nope. Gotta sell before people have a chance to make an informed decision. Let hype rule the market. Safer that way.
Check this out. This is a Cap toy from Argentina. Interesting, because I don’t know if children in the US would be terribly interested in Captain Argentina. Also, where’s Cap’s arm?
Everyone remembers when Captain America was strung out on meth, right? It was a magical time in comics. A time where being in a meth-lab explosion didn’t leave you horribly disfigured in a Des Moines-area hospital burn unit. It just made you reckless. And cool as hell.
Some of these issues, no matter how ridiculous, were pretty fun reads. I love badguy on badguy violence and this arc had great examples of that. Cap should get hooked on drugs more often. Hopefully the paparazzi doesn’t get ahold of this sordid detail from his past. He’s got a movie coming out and doesn’t need this kind of press.
I was digging around in the attic the other day and I came across my suit that I wore to Peter Parker’s wedding. Man did that bring back memories. I remember being late as usual, I had to catch the train from Jersey and meet up with Harry Osborn. I ended up getting their just as they said I do. It was a great time they had a great caterer at the reception. The best part was when Wolverine helped cut the cake. MJ and Pete grabbed Logan’s wrist and held it down to cut the cake. Cap had been drinking and he started serving cake of his shield. Everyone was laughing their asses off. I ended getting drunk of my ass and hooked up with Gwen Stacy. Now she ignores me every time I see her. Man that was a great time, and to think Pete kicked Electro’s ass earlier in the day. That is a true pimp.
Perhaps one of my strangest comic book obsessions is the oddball era of the Avengers circa issue 300. The team was in a very weird place and honestly, the Avengers (West Coast) were almost pulling the trump card on them. They had Iron Man, Hank Pym, and the Wasp, three of the original members. and long time favorites Hawkeye and Vision. But somehow a rag tag team of Captain America, Thor, Quasar and… whoever was around (really, look at the cover. She-Hulk and Black Panther. Before that? Gilgamesh, Mr. Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman.) worked JUST enough with some off kilter stories that the true version of Avengers found it’s way.
Throw in the Lava-Men, mindless lava creatures who took down a pretty bad idea (Avengers Island? Ew.) and this is a must have. You can find it in all sorts of used bins, but I’d scoop this copy up quickly. Comics at their finest.

The best company produced fan magazine ever? Maybe. The 1970′s gave us many amazing things in comics, and though not near the top, FOOM registers. If you need any further evidence, check the covers. Awesome.
Nuff Said.

But this is the season, right? Regardless, A funny zombie sketch is always cool to me. I wonder if this is what “Mark” was thinking of when he asked Arthur Suydam, artist of the Marvel Zombies homage covers, for a “Zombie Spider-Man” sketch. This one is certainly more Fred Hembeck than you might’ve expected from Mr. Zombie himself.
A Norse God, an Alcoholic, an Eastern European Mutant, and a 93 year old from Brooklyn walk onto an alien collective brain. What do they do?
Well, they throw up the American flag and start killing alien soldiers, der! A great Mike Zeck piece where you get to see a Romita influence in his pencils – I haven’t come across much of his work in an unfinished form and you can really see that style here, especially on the Kree soldiers in the foreground. If I was the type to have $900 to throw around, I would probably scoop this up. Has anyone seen a color version of this piece?
