Alas, I've not posted a vlog entry or other material for a long time; the past few months have not been good. Besides helping a sick family member from Christmas into February, I became very ill, again, from my disease. Around the end of March, however, I started feeling a bit better, but I've faced two problems: 1) I'm very busy with teaching responsibilities for my spring courses, and 2) I'm having difficulty figuring out the update of my video software (iMovie). I really loved the older version of iMovie, but this new update has me completely confused and frustrated. At first, I was unable to shoot video for vlog entries, and, now, while I figured out that problem, I cannot edit the video I shoot, which is a big problem.
Therefore, today, I am only posting two pictures.
That is the front and back cover of Spartacus, a single issue comic book, from 1960. We see photographs of Kirk Douglas from the movie, I believe. The interior, however, is not material from the film, but typical four-color comic book stuff, done by the late John Buscema. Comic book readers will likely know the work of Buscema, from his "sword and sandal" Conan the Barbarian to Avengers and the Silver Surfer. The comic does not appear to have been properly stored, but it's in pretty good condition, still. I bagged and boarded the comic book, and it will go into my collection of Dell Comic Books, a small part of my collection, which includes issue #3 of Mission Impossible.
Well, that is all for now. I'm hoping, if I get some free time later this week, to spend a few hours monkeying around with iMovie and hope to learn how to edit materials, so I can post vlog entries (as I do have a dozen or so shot). Thanks for stopping by, and please stop by again.
Cheers,
