Comic book update, 1-31-12

Hi, folks! A small batch of comic books arrived today, so I thought that I'd blog about them. Yes, I know that I have around 200 other comic books to show to y'all, but these just arrived and I decided to take a break from reading and writing. I hope you find the vlog entry entertaining because I enjoyed talking about these neat comic books. Thanks for stopping by and please stop by again! LBF

Books, books, and more books, 1-28-12

Hi, folks! In this entry, we get to see some books that I bought. And, yes, I did score a few comic book-related things (a few graphic novels). I was hoping to find some books on the 19th century West because that's the next big thing I'm reading (to create lectures), but I only found one thing (related to Custer). Still, it was a fun bunch of finds, and I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed finding the books. Thanks for stopping by, and please stop by again! Cheers, LBF [Oh, I am going to APOLOGIZE now because I go on a bit of a rant, a few times. Why? I was sure that I'd have to use YouTube, but I did not, this time. I am sorry if my dear family and friends finds my anger at "trolls" and political labels, but I despise both. I don't have ANY political or religious allegiance, and I don't care if you do or not (it's not of my damn business, and it should be NONE of your damn business if I did). To that end, I got testy when I mentioned a few things, figuring standard YouTube viewers would complain. Sigh. After all, why do you think my name is "Lisa's Bad Friend"? I am bad person: I don't like cultural, political, or social labels, so if you don't like me--or what I have to say--then that's your problem and please move along.]

Comic Books from 1-25-12

Hi, folks! I shot most of this video back on 1-25-12, but some of the audio was bad; therefore, I had to reshoot some of the video on Saturday before I could edit and post it. The first part covers a bunch of Howard the Duck comic books. The second part is an assortment of things (including The Shadow and some unusual comic books by Neal Adams). Now, I will be posting another vlog entry shortly because I bought books recently, and I want to remind viewers that I'm a "book" guy and comics just happen to be falling into my lap of late. Thanks for watching and please come back soon! Cheers, LBF P.S. yes, I am going to try to link via YouTube because I am, also, having trouble uploading videos into Blogger, sigh.

More Comics, 1-24-12


Shalom, bibliophiles! Here's a short vlog that is the companion to the Batman comic book score because they were all in the same box. This one is a mix of DC and Marvel comic books; many of these are going to my nephew, based on requests (i.e. requests before I even bought this collection). I hope you enjoy the entry and please do come by again! Cheers, LBF

Batman and Bat-family Comic Books, 1-24-12

Hi, gang! This is a short vlog about some Batman and Bat-related comic books that I just scored, from the most recent large collection I bought. I am hoping to shoot videos for the rest over the next few days. These Bat-related comic books are, mostly, in nice condition (except for a few of the older ones), and I was pretty excited to see their nice condition. I love it when people take care of their comic books and books. Thanks for watching and please stop by again soon! Cheers, LBF

Comic Book Update, 1-23-12

As promised, in between writing lectures, I'm going to do some short reviews of the 200+ comic books that I just bought. Here's the first update. I might try to do some more later, hopefully. Thanks for viewing and please do come back again! Cheers, LBF

Book Finds from 1-21-12

Hi, folks! With an owl hooting outside, I decided to review some books that I bought today. I have around 200 comic books to show too, but I will have to wait to shoot that long video. I hope to post some video on the comic books over the next few days (since I have some more comics arriving early next week). Thanks for watching and keep reading! LBF

Children's Record Player

Hi, folks! This is not a comic book update or book update. I happened to grab this item, and I thought that I'd share it with y'all. Thanks for watching! LBF
P.S. I will clean up the item and try to do another video of it (maybe with one of my children's records), but I am too busy now writing lectures; hopefully, I can do that next week.

Comic books from 1-17-12

Hi, readers! Wow, looks like lots of vlog entries are going to appear this week! Yes, yesterday, I posted an entry about books that I bought, and I am very excited about those books. Over the next week, I will probably post one vlog entry per day because I may have time to review the rest of my Christmas comic books (fingers-crossed).

Today, in this entry, I'm doing an overview of a small box of comic books that I just bought; later tonight or tomorrow, I will do a detailed review of the comic books, and I'll post that as "Part 2." I can't do a detailed review now because I have to write a lecture on the Columbian Exchange, for my university students. Thanks for tuning in! Please come back soon! Sláinte! LBF

First Book Scores of 2012

Hi, folks! I happened to grab some books today, so I thought that I'd blog about them. I was really geeked to find a biography of Luis Bruñuel, among other things. Thanks for tuning in and please stop by again! Cheers! LBF P.S. The book, They Thought For Themselves, as it turns out, is not really a "Jewish" book but one from some member of the "700 Club," LOL.

New Small Box of Assorted Comic Books

Shalom bibliophiles! Well, I grabbed this small box of comic books because I wanted the mid-1980s Airboy and the rest are just gravy. As promised, I am still going to shoot more footage of the great Christmas comic book acquisition, but I'm up to my neck in writing lectures for winter; therefore, that might need to wait a few more days (maybe I can shoot some later tonight, if I get some writing done). Thanks for watching! Oh, wait, I will certainly be posting a few vlogs next week because I have some comics on the way (and a new record player), so please check back soon. Shalom, LBF

Third Update on my Christmas Comic Book Score--gothic horror, mystery, and suspense

Hi, folks! This vlog entry covers more DC comic books, from that large, over 300, comic book score. As promised, I am going to review different "sets" from the collection. This collection is mostly gothic horror, mystery, and suspense comic books (with a wee bit of romance in there for good measure). I'm hoping to do another entry this weekend, but I, first, must write lectures for my students (for next week). Thanks for stopping by and watching! Please come back soon! LBF

Second Update on the Comic Book Score

Hi, folks! This vlog, again, addresses comic books that I picked up before Christmas. Silliness abounds, once more, in this entry, as we look at military comic books. I'm hoping this isn't my last entry for the week, but it could be because I need to write lectures for next semester; therefore, if I don't post for a bit, then you know why. Thanks for watching!
