Get Ready

For

The NEXT

Blockbuster !!

Yes, It's the 'Rise of the Silver Surfer', he who is the herald for that world-eater named 'Galactus' !

Coming YOUR way June 15th in theaters near you !

For those that aren't familiar with the Surfer, to the right are two early appearances of the Silver Surfer in the Fantastic Four Comic Books, issues #49 & #55.

Yes, the Surfer is a creation during those crazy years of 1960's !

According to the multiple stories around the creation of the Surfer, Stan Lee wrote a plot about the most powerful being ever coming to Earth to consume it for energy.

Jack Kirby, the artist and co-plotter thought that such a being would have a herald, one who would search out planets for Galactus ahead of time. Jack came up with the idea of the Silver Surfer, and Stan wrote the diaologue.

The Fantastic Four themselves were first written by Stan Lee and pencilled by co-creator Jack Kirby for their publisher Martin Goodman back in 1961.

For those interested in checking out the Fantastic Four comics run we have several unslabbed and CGC graded comics listed in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.

Jericho - TV Show

Season Finale 05-09-07

NEW POLL ! Who is YOUR Favorite Spider-Man MOVIE Villain?

OK, I gotta admit it.... this was a TV show that I made Tina sit through the first few episodes before we both started liking it.

I thought the premise was good, my family's roots are in Kansas, and that there was enough of a bond to a few early characters to carry us through the season.

It did, even though the show went on one of those new 'hiatuses' where everything stops and then you have to pick up the pieces again. There were 11 episodes in the first part of the season.

Unfortunately, it appears that the most of America that were watching the show didn't return after the hiatus! The show had a 'recapper' to bring those new to the show up to speed after returning, but that didn't help!

TV ratings hit a new low in early April, and I have not seen where it would be returning for a new season. The season finale ended with the town of Jericho being attacked by a neighboring town for its farmlands and salt mine.

This ending leaves with the thought that I personally am getting tired of being stranded at the end of these TV episodes, similiar to what happened to 'Invasion' TV show that ended last year. Add that to whatever happened to 'Surface' which went aired for 15 episodes and then went on hiatus for the 2006 Winter Olympics??! It never came back....

Tina and I first discovered 'Lost' at the San Diego Comic Con at a special preview program, and immediately made mental note to follow it when it aired on TV that fall. TOO MANY TV shows are following the 'Lost' trend, but are too 'nichey' to succeed in the mainstream TV market. PLUS I have just about had it with 'Lost' this year... Thank God they finally agreed to the creators' requests to stop it after 5 years of airing! Maybe it can get back to its' top form it had in the first season before losing its' way!

For those interested in TV shows like 'Jericho', 'Lost', 'Invasion', 'Surface', etc., we have several Movie and TV based comic books or magazines in our eBay Featured Store . Just click on the link provided!

May 12th, 1998 - Nine Years Ago Tomorrow !
Mood:

Topic: Comic Book History

"Hammering Out the Web For You Since May 12th, 1998!"

Hammering Out the Web For You

Nine years ago, (tomorrow) I set up my first simple web page... a very basic one at that.

I had just learned how to do it from my children who had been dabbling in html at their local school.

Soon I was placing articles up on the web, from what was then my passion, 'genealogy' !

Right after that I posted my first comic book mail order lists that had previously only been in print form!

Shortly after that I would buy additional domain names, more as the years and competition drove domain name prices lower and lower!

January of 1999 I joined eBay to basically buy what I couldn't find locally for my collection.

I then put my dad's craft business on the web, his 'whirlbirds', and others' businesses that I grew to know from working out at craft shows in Southern California, so many that I built a 'CraftersMallOnLine' to give additional publicity to.

Additionally I built other websites, and learned to do SEO for those site and my own!

Meeting and marrying Tina has expanded those horizons, and we are having more and more fun in these endeavors.

Today, she and I blog on eBay and additionally these blog posts are copied to our new blog web site, www.comicbookcollectorsblog.com, for additional distribution to the World Wide Web!

It's been a fun ride these past nine years on the www, and I want to thank my kids for getting me started!

This Is THE Blockbuster to Beat !

d'oh
Topic: Comic Book Movies

This Is

THE Blockbuster

To Beat!

Yes, It's Spider-Man 3, the new Spidey movie with three... count them... 3 different villains!

The movie started a week ago in theaters near you, check your papers or internet for showtimes for this weekend !

The movies of course are based on the Amazing Spider-Man Comic Books. To the right are two issues that the villain 'Venom' has appeared in during the years since he first appeared.

The comic books are third party graded by CGC, which means that they are graded for condition by an outside independent grading source, and then encapsulated in a plastic holder with a seal to ensure that their graded condition remains the same.

We sell both CGC 'slabbed' comics and 'raw unslabbed' comic books in our eBay Store.

For those of you that are wondering about Venom's appearance being somewhat over the top, yes he is exactly that!

Thus this is a warning that the 3rd Spidey movie is of a much darker tone than the first two movies that have been previously released so far.

The second new villain for this movie is 'Sandman' who is also mostly CGI during the fight sequences!

Third, is the transformation of Harry Osborne into the 'New' Goblin, taking over the role of the Green Goblin that his father, Norman, had in the first movie!

The original comic book series was co-created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Dikto. Thank you Stan & Jack & Steve!

For those interested in checking out Spider-Man comics run we have several unslabbed and CGC graded comics listed in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.
