Outlaws of the West #84 from Charlton Comics. This was probably my first western comic; if not, it was my first Charlton western comic. This issue was given to me (or traded for something) by a friend of mine back in grade school. It's one of my favorite comics merely because of the memory/nostalgia of it; I remember little about the contents. What stuck out to me at the time was the details of the Charlton printing when this comic was made: the colors were a bit blotchy and the bottoms of the pages sometimes had serrated cut patterns. I also remember the western dialect used in the stories was heavy. Overall, probably not a great comic, but it'll always stick in my mind affectionately.

That's right, folks. I have revived the separate libsyn page for The Cinematic Attic. Why? As much as I didn't want to realize it, my interest in film has become almost equal to my interest in comics. I have a lot of great ideas for new movie podcasts, youtube vids, and other content. It just feels right for me to have a page devoted to lots of comic podcasts, a page for all the movie podcasts, and a page for a variety of other podcasts. The trinity of Mike, if you will. I am in the process of migrating all the Cinematic Attic content that was exclusive to The Attic of Babel page to its rightful home, http://cinematicattic.libsyn.com/ As the items are moved, I will be deleting them from The Attic of Babel page. If all the content moving of the past year has confused and frustrated anyone, I apologize. I think this will finally straighten it all out.
