I didn't know him well, but from the small amount of contact we did have over the past couple years, I will very much miss his enthusiasm and opinions, his podcasting voice, his support, and his friendly demeanor. 

In this episode, I talk about Star Trek comics, including a look at Star Trek #37 (1987).  I also go over recent finds.  (28:15)
The Attic of Babel
Fulton County Library Podcast

I finish the Run With It! segment on Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth, looking at issues 42-49, 51-59.  (29:06)

September/October is one of the busiest times at work, and I got derailed from doing the podcast.  A new episode will appear soon, however.  I have material recorded and other material prepared.  I just need to put it together.  Until then, please enjoy some past episodes... or any of the other podcasts in The League of Comic Book Podcasts.

This forehead-slapper is all shades of wrong.  The advertising folks who came up with this one were obviously butt-stupid about comic books...

 

In this episode, I review Eclipse's Airboy #s 1, 2, & 3.  I also talk about DC's 1974 The Shadow issues 5 and 6. (13:41)

No YouTube video this episode.  Videos will be attached to future episodes only if I have the time.

Recent finds.  A ComicsConfusion segment on Marvel's Crusaders and DC's Crusaders.  A Run With It! segment looking at Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth #s 38, 39, and 41.  (27:08)

No YouTube video this time. 

The Comic Book Attic is officially 3 years old today!  Celebrate by reading an old comic.

In this episode, I look at the Ziff-Davis 1953 G.I. Joe #27.  Also, I talk about how I prioritize my back issue buying.  Finally, I give a quick rundown of what the 1970s Marvel Value Stamps were all about.  (20:26)

My drive home from the comic shop, including a quick review of Fantastic Four #569.  Also, I gush and rave about Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy.  (26:29)

In this episode, I take a look at The Comic Reader #167 and present a ComicsConfusion segment on Two-Gun Kid.  Also, a giveaway and a song.  (23:27)

I present a Silver Age Superman segment on Superman #153.  I also have a Brave and the Bold Run With It! epilogue segment on Brave and the Bold #120, as it features Batman AND Kamandi in one crazy issue.  Finally, some recent finds, including the book Supermen! The First Wave of Comic Book Heroes 1936-1941. Oh, yeah-- and JJ lurks in the background... (22:28)

In this short negative-numbered episode, I run down my pull list and remind you all of the podcasts that can be found in The League of Comic Book Podcasts. (9:01)

If you were a kid in the 70s/80s, book and record sets were fun because everytime you heard a chime it gave you permission to turn pages.  How authoritarian! Of course, the only thing better than a book and record set was a COMIC book and record set.  When I was very young and listening to my grandparents' big floor model record player, I'd occasionally get comic book/record sets to listen to.  At some point, someone gave me Star Trek: Passage to Moauv, and I enjoyed listening to it many times. I probably haven't heard it since I was a kid, but it is still stored with my collection, joined by many other comic book/record sets.  Considering my later love of Star Trek, this one deserves to be dug out of storage and re-experienced.  If you'd like to experience some of these sets (and find mp3s of the records), here's a link you might want to try: http://powerrecordsplaza.blogspot.com/

The Sensational She-Hulk #7 was the first issue of this series I picked up at a local gas station when I was young.  The depiction of an old Marvel monster on the cover made me buy it.  Once I read it, the book was a revelation.  The old fourth-wall-breaking gag was in full effect as part of this book's makeup.  John Byrne was having tons of fun being humorous with the readers as She-Hulk would talk to them and integrate conventions of the comic book into her story. 
It was also fun to see semi-obscure characters given something to do, as U.S.1 (from his own short-lived series), Razorback (from old Spidey comics), Blonde Phantom (a golden age character), and Xemnu the Titan (the old Marvel monster who also appeared in issue of Incredible Hulk and The Defenders) all played a part in the tale.
I couldn't afford to keep buying this title at the time, but I have since sought out and read most of the rest of Byrne's She-Hulk issues.  He worked on #1-8, then took about 20 issues off before returning to do another 20 issues.

Here's a link to a former blog entry for The Amazing Spider-Man paperback book reprinting the first several issues of that title, as well as Amazing Fantasy #15:
http://comicbookattic.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=214294
As the entry says, this is where I first read Spidey's first several issues, although I had previously read the origin story elsewhere.  I remember being a kid in the family vehicle reading this little paperback full of old Spider-Man stories.  Fond memories are wrapped up in the first appearances of Doc Ock, Lizard, The Tinkerer, and Sandman... and it was in color, unlike many other paperback reprints.

A monster Run With It! segment as I look at Brave and the Bold #s 117, 119, 125, 132, 140, 152, 166, 173, 177, 180, 182, and 183.  (41:49)  All cover images are copyright their respective copyright holders.
