Comic Book Update 6-9-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! How about a comic book update of recent scores? Well, that's what we are doing:


Wow, that was a great set of comic books and cool DVD set. I hope that I did not seem to jittery or agitated; I'm recovering from another flare of my skin disease, and I am still itchy and not feeling right. 

Thanks for tuning in, and please stop by again!

Cheers,

Belated Comic Book Update from 1-20-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! Well, as promised, I am getting around to posting the "older" vlog entries that I shot months ago. There should be several more appearing over the next few weeks. This first one reviews a bunch of Maximum Press comic books with some others from DC and Marvel, so let's see what arrived back on the 20th of January:


That was a super cool bunch of comic books! I apologize for my fogginess, but I was going through a rough patch. Come to think of it, when am I not going through a "rough patch"? After all, I'm dealing with the same things still, 5 months later, sigh. 

Well, thanks for stopping by, and please stop by again soon.

Comic Book Update from 6-1-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! I hope this finds all of you happy and reading! Yes, I'm in a slightly better mood, at least for this vlog entry. 

Now, as promised, I am doing vlog entries about the thousands of comic books I bought over the past year or two, most of which have been sitting around, as I was ill or too busy with teaching. This entry covers comic books that arrived back on 6-23-13, so let's us see what I scored:



Yippee! That was a freaking awesome collection of comic books, which will make for some nice reading. 

Thanks for stopping by and watching, and I hope you do stop by, again, soon.

Update 5-30-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! Alas,  besides my own inability to care for myself, thus my constant health problems, I'm experiencing family problems, and that's made doing vlog entries tough because I'm depressed, exhausted, and sick. However, here's a short entry:


Thanks for stopping by, and please stop by again, soon.

Belated Comic Book Update from 4-8-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! As promised, I am posting old vlog entries that I shot, when I was sick, before I had the software problems.

This entry has a wide assortment of things, including a crazy small set of Lobo comic books. Let's see what I mean:



Well, I'm off to sleep, but I will be posting more backlogged vlog entries and, hopefully, some new ones.

Thanks for stopping by, and please do stop by again!

Comic Book Update from late 4-26-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! This video was shot 4 weeks ago, but, due to video software problems, health problems, and teaching, I could not figure out how to post this vlog entry. I am hoping that I've figured out, at least, the software issues. So, let's see which comic book I scored:



Well, that was, sort of, okay. I'm sorry for my sad demeanor, but I'm having a rough go of it, personally. If all goes well, this should be the start of a run of both backlogged vlog entries (from the previous few months) and brand new entries. 

Thanks for tuning in, and please stop by again.

Update from 4-29-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! 

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.
