Just a few videos that might interest folks who listen to the Attic...

Some golden age goodness:

Jack Kirby interview:

or how about a Jack Kirby cameo on the old Incredible Hulk TV show:

A fan talks about Silver Age comics:

Finally, try this video featuring, um, corporal punishment in old Superman comics:

Check out this news story about stolen old Marvel comics... and note the last paragraph where it says they were stolen from an unlocked basement...

And apparently, my man Barack Obama likes comic books:

Changes are afoot with episode 101-on.  Details will be revealed in #100, but one of the changes is that I would like to have others have their voices heard concerning older comics.  I've had some interest already, and I'm looking forward to what will result.  So, anyone interested in doing a regular or irregular segment for the CBA, feel free to email me at comicbookattic (at) yahoo.com

Also, hellos and other recorded bits for episode 100 are welcome!  Deadline is Nov.30.

DC tried once to revive Archie's classic superheroes (in altered forms) as the Impact Universe.  Now, they join the DCU proper.  This link explains:

As a fan of these 65+ year old characters, I'm looking forward to seeing them again. 

H'lo everyone.  I just wanted to blog this as well as mention it in the next episode.  Episode 100 is approaching, and I would like it to include as many different voices as possible.  If anyone would like to submit a hello, an old comic review, or anything at all, email me an mp3 at my yahoo address comicbookattic.  The due date was going to be the end of October, but, whoops, that's almost here.  Let's say all submissions be in by the end of November.

For that matter, anyone who'd like to be a regular contributor can let me know also.

The Comic Book Attic is officially 2 years old as of August 11, 2008.  I didn't mention it in the podcast, as it doesn't feel like a big deal anymore.  The 2nd year was not as fun as the first, and there were fewer episodes, but I'm still here.  Thanks to everyone who listens.

If you'd like to hear me ramble further about other stuff, you can do so here: The Cinematic Attic and here: The Attic Enigmatic .

If you feel like soiling your day by hearing about this fundamentalist, bigoted politician's comic book, here's the link: http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=20080717_12_OKLA363263

If you feel like being outraged, here's a link to the comic itself as a pdf: http://downloads.newsok.com/documents/rinehartcartoon.pdf

He actually sent that to voters to get reelected.  Ugh.  Horrific and disgusting. 

I'm having trouble uploading the latest CBA.  Libsyn is being goofy.  But, as soon as I can get them posted, I have two new episodes finished, numbers -7 and 94.  So if anyone noticed a phantom episode -7 appearing and disappearing, you weren't imagining things... it was just technical difficulty.  Meanwhile, here are the links that'll be mentioned in #94:

Something I found on YouTube that I enjoyed greatly...

(From Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You Comics Digest Magazine #12, Nov. 1979) 

Okay, I know what he's trying to say, but... wow.
