August 11 marked the 6th anniversary of The Comic Book Attic.  I will record an episode soon, folks.  Meanwhile, I found these documentaries available on YouTube (at least for now) that you might enjoy:

In this short episode, I talk about recent super-hero movies and The Mighty Crusaders #13.  (14:13)

In this brief episode, I talk about the state of the podcast.  Also, thanks and recommendations.  (9:04)

Mighty Crusaders #13 is another childhood yard sale buy, and it introduced me to Archie's universe of heroes.  As listeners of the podcast know, I'm a fan of these characters (especially in the 1960s series), and Archie is once again bringing the Mighty Crusaders back in 2012.  This comic was so intriguing to me at the time because it was full of colorful, old-timey heroes.  It was drawn in an older style thanks to Dick Ayers pencils, which I enjoyed.  As I said, it was colorful, but in such a way that the colors were full, bright, and fun.  I even loved the lettering stlye by Bill Yoshida.  There was a main story, which the cover advertised, and a back-up story focusing on The Fox by the same creative team.  This was the last issue of this particular series, but I've always been on the lookout for the first twelve issues, of which I own about half as of this writing.  Despite it looking like a kid-targeted series, you can bet I'll be giving the new Archie series a try.

I chronicle my vacation trip to two comic stores, I go over some recent finds, and I talk about some of the comics I read in April.  This includes short reviews of Starblast #3, Image Zero #0, Superboy #200, Ms. Marvel (1977) #1, and Batman Family #1.  (49:14)

Just a quick extra episode to talk about what I've been reading.  (10:40)

In this episode, I talk about Fantastic Four Annual #17.  I also go through some of my favorite comics from the blog feature, taking a look at The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe vol.2 #16, The Amazing Spider-Man Pocket paperback, The Sensational She-Hulk #7, Star Trek: Passage to Moauv comic & record, Outlaws of the West #84, and Invasion #3 (plus Amazing Spider-Man #202, which was covered in the past).  (36:15)

I'm back and in a new home!  For the first time, I'm recording from an actual attic! I talk a little about my new comic rooms and my comic-reading renaissance.  In doing so, I discuss the character/series of Robin and early issues of the Fantastic Four.  I also mention a new (to me) comic shop I visited, The Amazing Spiral.  (21:09)

I mention it every episode, but never give the url.  Here's the link to The League of Comic Book Podcasts.

I really miss podcasting, and I will try to get back to some kind of more frequent schedule.  Meanwhile, if you haven't already, check out my other podcast pages: The Cinematic Attic and The Attic of Babel.

I have had quite a month.  I moved over New Year's and finally got everything unpacked and arranged last week. I've also gotten sick a few times during and since moving.  With any luck, I hope to get back to podcasting soon.  I have a few episodes of various podcasts recorded; I just need the editing time. Until later...
