Comic Book Update 12-29-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! It's time for another comic book update, with something else that is rather strange, so let's see what I scored!

Wow, I am quite excited about these comic books. Some are going to be "readers" (i.e. comics that I read and pass along to kids), but others are going into my permanent comic book collection. 

Thanks for stopping by, and please stop by again soon. I'm hoping to do, at least, one more update before the new year. Also, I bought part of this very large comic book collection (thousands of comic books), and I am going to organize what I bought (since my part of the collection arrived in about 8 different boxes) and start to "review" the part of the collection that I scored. 

Cheers,

Art Prints by Jacen Burrows

Shalom, bibliophiles! I am not doing a vlog entry today. I've been busy trying to deal with "holiday" stuff; I need a vacation from the holidays (and one where I don't have to deal with my teaching responsibilities, too). Consequently, I've not shot any new vlog entries this week nor edited older ones to post for you.

However, I would like to show you something that I just received. In 2011, at the San Diego Comic Con, Avatar Press made available a limited edition, just 250 copies, Crossed art prints based on classic American art; there were seven different prints. Crossed is a comic book written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Jacen Burrows; the comic books are, sort of, a twist on the zombie-type genre (with infected persons being known as the "Crossed"). 

Each of the seven prints are signed by the artist Jacen Burrows. They are pretty wicked prints. Right now, I have them stored in heavy-duty plastic sleeves. 

-->Those are #2 and #3 (alas my photographs were not organized well, oops).

Those are #1 and #4. 

Those two are #5 and #6. 

The last is #7. 

I apologize about the poor lighting, but I'm remodeling rooms and this was the best light I had available (with fixtures removed and so on). Eventually, the room where I shot these images will be repainted, and I'll install new lighting, outlets, and flooring. It's my hope this room will become my "comic book" room, and I'll have these wickedly creepy prints displayed on one wall. 

Thanks for stopping by, today, and please stop by again soon. After Christmas, I'm hoping to post a vlog entry.

Comic Book and Media Update 11-9-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! Yes, I'm back-posting because I have all these vlog entries that I shot but never posted. I'm hoping to get some of them posted and shoot some new ones, now that I'm on break between semesters. 

Let's see what I scored: 

Wowee! That was a cool bunch of books and DVDs! I've already watched one season of that show, before Thanksgiving, and I'm hoping to watch the next soon. The books have already been placed on my "to read" shelves. 

Thanks for tuning in, and please stop by again soon.

Book Update 12-3-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! Well, much like the past year, I've failed to post as often as I had planned, sigh. I'm hoping that I can post more often than every two weeks, and I'm going to take time to make sure that I'm posting vlog entries every week (ideally, it'd be several times a week, but I know that I have a lot of grading to do over the next week). 

Today's fare involves books (well, collected volumes of comic books):

Wow! I'm quite excited to get to read these items; it also allows me to leave my original copies in their storage devices, to preserve them. Cool!

Thanks for tuning in, today, and please stop by again, soon.

Comic Book Update 11-19-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! Well, that's a deep subject...sorry, I did not stick to my plan to post more regularly. Between my illness flaring the day after Halloween and my teaching schedule, I've just not had much time or energy to vlog and post entries. I'm still tired but feeling better, and, while the next two weeks are busy for teaching (end of the semester), I'm going to make an effort to "take time" to vlog about books and comic book because I need something to take my mind of the "real" world responsibilities and stress. 

Let's see what I scored:

Wow, that was a cool batch of comic books! Later this week, I will do a vlog entry about the second half of that box (and maybe another batch), if all goes well. 

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

Cheers,

Comic Book Update for 10-30-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! I'm sorry that I've been "gone," but my non-online life is chaotic; consequently, I've not been blogging/vlogging. I wish things were otherwise, but that's life. Right? 

Anyway, let's look at some books and comic books:

Well, that was an interesting bunch of comic books!

Thanks for tuning in, and please do stop by again soon. 

Cheers, 

LBF 

Comic Book Update 9-12-14

Shalom, bibliophiles! I'm doing a short-ish comic book update:

Yup, I decided to leave the graphic novels for another day; I'm trying to get through that stack of 1,500 comic books in the other room, so I am trying to pace myself. 

Thanks for tuning in, and please stop by again.
