David Hasselhoff As Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

David Hasselhoff as....

Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. !

Recently my youngest son and I checked out the 1997 TV Movie, Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD.

I had missed it when it first was aired, and taped it earlier for viewing with my son. This movie was made before Marvel Comics started to make it big with Theatrical Movies of their super-heroes like Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc.

This TV movie was not up to par with the above named theatrical movies.

David Hasselhoff tried to portray Nick Fury in the movie, but he just didn't make it for me, too much of a caricature for me...

Lisa Rinna was the 'Contessa', but she didn't come across either for me. Come to think of it... none of the actors really portrayed the characters that have a long history in the comic books.

Unfortunately there was too much background info to give to the viewer all at once, and it just wasn't done right. This is a poor example of a comic book movie, sad to say.

For those interested in Marvel comic books, from which Nick Fury is derived, we have several listed in both our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store.

Thanks for reading this blog post, and feel free to post your comment!

Have You Heard About

'Get Smart' ?

'Get Smart' Is a New Movie That May Have a Program and a Sneak Peak at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con International in July 2007!

This is from the SDCC Int'l Update issue #2 which has recently hit the comic book stores and those subscribers on their mailing list.

Get Smart has started shooting in February of this year. The film is scheduled to be released June 20th of 2008.

The film will feature Steve Carrell as Maxwell Smart, and Anne Hathaway as Agent 99. Alan Arkin will play the Chief !

For those that are new to what 'Get Smart' will be / or was:

Get Smart Has been a TV Show... and a Theatrical Movie.... and a Toy Line....

Originally 'Get Smart' was an American comedy television series. It satirized the then popular secret agent genre that was started by the James Bond novels and movies.
The 'Get Smart' TV show ran on the NBC television network from 1965 to 1969, and then on CBS from 1969 to 1970, airing a total of 138 different episodes!
It was such a hit that it was my high school English Teacher who requested my class to watch the show... which my folks didn't really believe was part of my high school 'homework' !!
The TV series, which was written and created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, won seven Emmy Awards and was also nominated for an additional fourteen Emmys and two Golden Globe Awards during its' long TV run.
Dell Comics published a comic book series for eight issues during 1966 and 1967, some of which were drawn by Steve Ditko, co-creator of the Amazing Spider-Man!
In 1980 the theatrically released 'The Nude Bomb' (also known as The Return of Maxwell Smart or Maxwell Smart and the Nude Bomb) was popular. Later the made-for-TV movie 'Get Smart, Again!' was shown in 1989 on the ABC network.
However, ABC lost out on a short lived 1995 weekly series when the FOX TV network aired 'Get Smart' with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon reprising their characters, as their bumbling son, Zach (Andy Dick), becomes CONTROL's new star agent.
As a historical footnote....with the final revival series on Fox, 'Get Smart' became the first television franchise to air new episodes on all of the current four major American television networks, NBC,CBS, ABC and then FOX!
For those wanting to 'Get Smart' or even close to being smarter, we have TV & Movie Comics in our eBay Featured Store and eBay Pro Store!

7,000 Visitors To Our Blog Since 15, 2006 !

This Blog Was Started June 7th 2006 shortly after eBay announced it was starting blogs!
Our first blog post was about seeing the last of the X-Men movies trilogy, X-Men III, and that we were listing several X-Men comics for sale because of the good review we gave the movie and interest in anything X-Men was growing...
Our second blog post came the next day, June 8th, where we proudly stated that we had hit the 5,000 mark of active listings in our eBay Featured Store! (The next month we were at the San Diego Comic Con when eBay announced that they were raising store listings insertion fees from 2 cents to 5 or 10 cents in August... due to that increase we have kept approximately 2,000 active and expired listings since then in our eBay Featured Store, PLUS keeping approx 5,500 in our own web site!)

The earliest blog posts were simple text with a small pic or two. Having been the publisher of a Family Genealogical Newsletter for 15 years, I wanted to make this blog post a little fancier and started adding graphics and links to previous blog posts for newcomers to the blog.
When Tina bought the domain name www.ComicBookCollectorsBlog.com to distribute our blog posts even further than the eBay community, I proceeded to add each post to both the eBay Blog & Our Own Blog. Additionally I have submitted both to different Blog Directories for exposure outside the eBay community.
Today we get several visitors each day, with a few that add their comment to our blog posts. For non-ebayers, our domain name web site blog is the place to post your comment if you don't want to join eBay!
We want to thank YOU for checking out this blog post today, and appreciate all of YOU who have checked out our posts in the past months since July 15th 2006 when we added on a stats meter !

Michael and Tina
