eBay Promoting the TRANSFORMERS MOVIE On Their Home Page...
Mood:

a-ok
Topic: Comic Book Movies

So We Will Too !

Of course the new movie isn't on DVD yet, as it doesn't hit the theaters until July 4th, so we are promoting the comic books that the toys line generated!

eBay transfigured its' home page earlier today with Transformers items plastered all over the page!

This is on top of the fact that the Transformers Movie is getting a LOT OF BUZZ .... because Steven Spielberg is Executive Producer of this movie!

PLUS Director Michael Bay is going to deliver a live-action theatrical film based on the 1980s cartoon about robotic aliens using Earth as a battleground!

The movie is jam-packed with cool effects, action and Michael Bay's signature talent for blowing stuff up! Take a look at the Movie Trailer when you get a chance!

For those of you that are new to the Transformers Universe, it can be a complicated one to understand!

The Transformers toyline, cartoon series, comic books, and previous movie all owe their existence to the Japanese toyline, Microman. In 1980, the Microman spin off, Diaclone, was released. It featured inch-tall humanoid figures who were able to sit in the drivers' seats of scale model vehicles. The vehicles could transform into humanoid robot bodies the drivers piloted... whew what a concept!!

For those interested in 'Transformers' and other Toy based comics we have several of those comic books in our eBay Featured Comic Book Store !

Thanks for reading this popular culture / comic books blog post! Feel Free to Comment Below !!

Just Sold The Last Two CGC'd 3rd party graded

Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery Comic Books That We Had In Stock, which reminded me that we still have several Non-CGC Graded issues in Stock!

...For those that don't know, Boris Karloff's comic was a licensed comic book series from Gold Key Comics.
The series ran for 97 issues from October 1962 to February 1980.
The first two issues were titled: Boris Karloff Thriller, which was the name of the TV Show that was running at the time, and then the title was changed with issue number three.
Thriller, the TV Show, was, along with The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, one of the best anthology television series of the 1960s, running from 1960-1962 on NBC-TV.
The TV show featured host Boris Karloff, who introduced an entertaining mix of macabre horror tales and suspense thrillers. The TV Show was created by Hubbell Robinson for Revue Studios, (which was later purchased by Universal Studios), and produced by Fletcher Markle, William Frye, and Maxwell Shane.
The comic book for those that have not read one before, could be compared to Gold Key's Twilight Zone comic, or to DC Comics' The Unexpected. This series was a popular one for Gold Key, and lasted eighteen years after the demise of the TV Show!
For those interested in Boris Karloff's Tales of Mystery comic books, we have several unslabbed only comics listed in our eBay Featured Store !

UFO

Topic: Comic Book History

Michael Selling at SDCC in 1973

UFO & Outer Space.......

...was a continuation series of Gold Key Comic's 'UFO FLYING SAUCERS' comics which lasted from issue #1 (Oct 1968) to #13 (Jan 1977).

The 'UFO & Outer Space' comic series picked up with #14 (June 1978) and ended with #25 (Feb 1980).

During the 1970's 'flying saucers' were all the rage in the media. Close encounters were being reported frequently. These two comic book series would print stories of these encounters, and would point out the reputation of those doing the reporting.

Indeed the series even suggested biblical references to flying saucers!

For balance, there was a column on debunking these encounters. Even comics books were 'Politically Correct' starting in the 1970's !!

For those interested in UFO Comics and other SCI-FI comics, we have several hundred comic books in our eBay Featured Store !

Thank you for reading this pop culture /comic book blog post, and feel free to comment !

Last Day In Vietnam

Topic: Comic Book History

'Last Day In Vietnam'

A Memory by Will Eisner

Is Just One of the Graphic Novels or Comic Books on Wars in History that we have in our eBay Featured Store!

This Graphic Novel was written and drawn by the writer/artist that was there in the 'Nam, Will Eisner.

Will is the father of the graphic novel, and does a good job in telling several stories in this softcover edition of his graphic novel.

Unlike the Spirit stories that he is also known for, each of the stories in this Graphic Novel is easy to read, and understand without any continuity. The well-defined graphics help illustrate the story even more and make you feel that you were actually there with the characters.

Definitely this was the format for Will to tell these stories of Vietnam.

Recommended reading for those wanting to read about this time in history.

Just click on the Graphic Novel cover on the top right to see what war comics & graphic novels issues we currently have in stock!
