a-okTopic: Comic Book History
Disneyland... And Comic Books! Earlier this month was our nation's day for honoring all of the Veterans that have served the country. While digging out a photo of my dad and grandfather to add to that Veterans Day blog post, I also came across a 1959 photo of my family when we were chosen Navy Family Of The Month at the Base in Los Alamitos, (see top right photo), and awarded an all expense trip to Disneyland! My dad, (Francis L Hamersky and pictured below), served in the US Navy for 21 years.
It was during this time that I was busy reading what my Aunt Marge and Uncle Howard McIntosh called 'funnybooks', and of course Disney Comics were part of that 'funnnybooks' reading experience! My Aunt and Uncle were the ones that got me reading comics, (as told in a previous blog post). Below is a photo of one of the BIG events on TV, and of course in my funnybooks reading!
The point to this blog post is this... Christmas is coming soon, as we have all know by now, what with TV Commercials telling us so during Halloween of all things! My suggestion for gift giving is age appropriate comics for the youngsters that you are giving gifts to, (can't start 'em off too early!), and comics, graphic novels, or trade paperbacks to older kids. I for one remember being very pleased to receive bundles of comics for Christmas, and my birthday! If you are reading this and don't know what to buy someone, just drop me an e-mail with the person's age, sex, and their known interests. Get them reading instead of complaining they're bored or glued to their TV or video game! For those of you that are new to our blog today, we have an ongoing 'Comics Convention and Pop Culture Show' ourselves here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online store!Thanks for reading this blog post today, and please join us again for more! ~ Michael  |  The above photo shows Michael as a boy of seven, ("driving"), with his little brother, mom and dad at Disneyland in 1959.
