It’s possible (likely, even) that Superman was actually the first to perform this power stunt, but my first exposure to it was in a Hulk comic.

Half of the most ambitious spread I ever attempted... It will be in Savage Sword of Conan #11 from Titan. :-)

Was on a bit of a road trip over the weekend and stopped in at a comic shop I had never been to before. Picked up a pack of DC Women Of Legend cards on a whim and I scored a cool sketch card!

It was nice to read a few comics tonight. If I’m being honest, I’ve been kind of struggling the last couple weeks and haven’t even felt capable of that much. Seems like maybe I’m coming up for a bit of air now.

Gonna do some filing and scanning now, so that means movie time!

I got Immortal Hulk 1 when it came out just on a whim and that series was amazing!
Dork Gently (@accurateblasters.com) reply parent
You might be right. I was really surprised it hadn’t been snapped up immediately. Apparently it was up on the wall for a couple days.

Honestly I didn’t even notice that, but yay! 😅

What amazing finds! Congratulations!

I was so stunned to see it up there at all, much less for so cheap. It’s not immaculate or anything (probably in the 5-6 range), but still. I’m very pleased.

Lookie what I found at the comic shop today. And it was only $20!

My Vampirella Black, White, and Blood Kickstarter rewards finally arrived! I checked on the site when I got home from work today and it’s still saying the package hasn’t shipped, so I wasn’t at all expecting it.

Publisher La Prensa was translating and reprinting Spider-Man in Mexico when Marvel killed off Gwen Stacy. The publisher didn't believe Mexicans would read Spider-Man after her death so they created 45 original issues after Spider-Man #119 where she lived. They've never been translated or reprinted.

You’re welcome! It’s Age of Chaos 2, Frankie’s Comics Edition. Just in case you needed that.

DC seems to have embraced the bold strategy of just making cool as hell comics. Let’s see if it works out for them.

I’ve never seen that Momoko! Douglas Adams has a bit in one of the Dirk Gently books about how amazing it is to go instantly from total ignorance of a thing to total desire for that thing. I am feeling that now.

I’ve never heard that term but it perfectly describes this guy I work with. He’s a fine coworker but man, being in the office with him during allergy season is just the worst.

I typed “were busy” and this is what my phone thought should go there instead. Wth is going on anymore?
Dork Gently (@accurateblasters.com)
Autocorrect on my phone has started correcting misspellings of "that" to "rhat" and sometimes not even underlining it. Like, technology was good once right? I didn’t hallucinate that things used to generally work like they were supposed to?

Alright, it's finally time. This is something I've had in the pipeline for _years_ but was shying away from due to the sheer amount of research and notes necessary. But with the current state of affairs in the world, this is the moment Folks, it's time we talk about Mark Gruenwald

I did this a few of months ago and have a couple of free days. So… Pick a reasonably mainstream marvel silver or Bronze Age issue and I’ll post a picture if I have it. A couple of caveats: I’m super weak on ASM and don’t have many of the super-big keys. We will se how I do.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but if even if you're not an artist, that goofy meme idea in your head will be a thousand times funnier if you just do a crappy drawing of it yourself vs using generative A.I.

Mine keeps leaving out the apostrophe in “that’s” and capitalizing it like it’s a proper noun. I have no idea what it’s doing anymore.

How many Justice League? Or total? The total is 14,009 right now. The exact number of Justice League will take me a minute to tally up.
