Well you made it halfway through January and halfway through Winter. The Philadelphia Eagles Season is over and it is time to watch Jim McKay and the Disney Wild World of Sports and watch those cliff divers from Mexico until baseball starts (if it does this year.)But stuff is a brewing. I had 2 different people come to the store to flyer for upcoming shows, it is still early but hang in there. One day I won’t have the heat on and $2 books will go outside again.I did stop in at On the Record NJ which opened down the street from me on Broad Street- so if you are in the neighborhood – stop by. They have records and they actually told me where to get a belt drive for my turntable if I ever decide to playa a record again.This week’s forgotten Celebrity is Dwayne Hickman who passed away this week. I knew him for starring in the The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, with Bob Denver and a personal hero of mine, Shiela James. Dobie was always looking for romance and be blocked at every turn. I am fold of the show also because of Dobie’s relationship with his father and the show’s creator Max Shulman told Hanna-Barbera to pound sand.A special shout out to Damian Carbone who keeps sending me pictures of local Forgotten Celebrities. Yes I know who Jim O'Brien and Wee Willie Webber were. Wee Willie was a very BIG guy!I have watching a sky arts show on Youtube called Urban Myths- what I want to see is the episode where Liz Taylor , Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando drive across the country after 9/11. It wasn’t aired in this country.The movie I want to see made is Skinner by Richard S. McEnroe with Josh Hartnett. About dragon skinners on a desert planet.But the days are getting longer. The sun is going down at 5 now instead of 3:30 it was a month ago. But I still am not ready to hit the road hard yet. 18 inches of snow up north. You would risk your life to go look at funny books.Stay tuned. ... See MoreSee Less

Frankenstein Comics

1 week ago

Ha!It is a new year and we are off to the races.I got my Marvel calendar and it is already starting to fill up with dates for comic book shows. I will be making the rounds soon enough, and as soon as I sign contracts we’ll start work on the comic book and toy show.(We haven’t had one since 2018- so this will be like getting the band back together. Chasing down dealers, picking up the phone, dusting off old paperwork.)We aren’t using the Diamond Comics calendar. Diamond announced we won’t get it until February. I wonder if it will have 12 months. Typical.I’m moving around stuff in the store. I’m putting the $25 stock out so everyone can take a look. If you are in the neighborhood, swing by.Stay tunes for show news. January is tough, but stuff will start to happen soon.The picture this week is of Mitch Miller. He had a TV show in the early 1960’s where he and a male chorus would sing wholesome songs with the words at the bottom of the TV .Sing along With Mitch. He was a RCA executive that hated Rock and Roll. Take a look at the youtube videos. Trippy.The movie this week I am looking for is a Science Fiction film called Timeslip.Japanese soldiers with modern weapons vs. Samurai. I would have loved this growing up.Hats off to Brent Coldflesh who found Unearthly Stranger for me. Now to find a way to watch it in my living room. Thanks.And the movie I want to see made is Garth Ennis’s Dear Billy with Honeysuckle Weeks.January. Shoveling snow. Digging through comics. Paperwork. Am I having fun yet? ... See MoreSee Less
