Join Evanier as he talks to Neil Gaiman, Erik Larsen, Darwyn Cooke, Mike Royer, and members of the Kirby family about the lasting influence of the undisputed King of comics.

Room 1AB

SPECIAL NOTE: This is ALWAYS In My Personal Top 5 Programs held at the SDCC each year.  Mark always has the best guys and presents new insights into Jack 'King' Kirby's life and endeavors!  This Program IS NOT TO BE MISSED !!

WHY?? You Ask Why? Jack co-created with Stan Lee the early Marvel Comics Universe, including the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Thor, the Avengers, the Incredible Hulk, and oh so many more!!

Tina and I are getting ready to attend the largest popular culture / comic book convention in the 'Americas' that starts next week!

The convention programs and exhibit floor takes up ALL of the available space the San Diego Convention Center has to offer!

The convention planners have the exhibit floor categorized into sections. Comic Book sellers here, toy sellers there, small press publishers here, large mainstream publishers there, and so forth.

When I am physically at a new comic book store while on a buying trip, or at a dealer's booth at a convention, the biggest turn-off is seeing that their backstock is NOT in any kind of order. Even alphabetically by title would be a help! 

At enormous conventions like the SDCC, those dealers don't even get the once over by Tina and myself, UNTIL we have shopped at all the other dealers who have their merchandise organized!!

So we definitely aim to place ALL of our comics, magazines and other pop culture items into organized categories (aisles), so YOU Can view the selections easier!

We are NOT the biggest eBay Store in our category, currently we keep about 2,200 items listed.

We DO consider ourselves to be One of the better  pop culture stores in providing a service in grading, listing and shipping timely the items we sell as evidenced by our 10,462 postive feedbacks with only one negative, (100% +fb score).

But this is because we keep our backstock in order, and list the items for sale by CATEGORY in our eBay Store.  It may not be the best categorization ever, I have literally seen dozens of different category schemes in our sales niche alone, but it seems to work for us!   

But, as with anything on the web, there is always room for improvement!  If YOU know of a better way of organizing a store, we would like to hear about it! 

Or if you are already a shopper with us, let us know how we make our items easier for you to find!  We are here to listen as well as kepunch!

Plus check back with us at the end of July after this year's SDCC for items that we were able to pick up for resale in our eBay Featured Store .

Maybe We Should Sic Him On The eBay 'Blog Ghosts' !

Is It A Bird?

Is It A Plane?

No, It's Underdog!

 

Coming YOUR way August 3rd!

With all the Comic Book Movies that are being released this year, they remind me that for years super-heroes were already on TV in the mid 1960's due to the 'Batmania' craze!

For instance, Underdog was one of several cartoon characters created to help General Mills sell breakfast cereals to kids on TV!  Really!!  

Underdog shows ran in two part and four part serial episodes.  There were about 124 episodes that ran from 1964 to 1973.

Underdog became part of other shows in syndication since and has lasted into the 21st Century.  However those shows are a compilation of several shows co-mingled together and are not the true first showings of Underdog's TV show.

Today, most of the mainstream public knows him because of the Underdog Balloon in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

Underdog of course had his own comic books... what self-respecting superhero wouldn't??!

Charlton comics printed 10 issues that were published from 1970 - 1972. Gold Key Comics published Underdog for 23 issues from 1975  - 1979.  Then Spotlight Comics had 3 issues in 1987, and Harvey Comics had a one shot in 1993.  Underdog has made the comic books publishing rounds all right!!

For those interested in seeing more TV Show & Movie comic books, we have several comics listed in our eBay Featured Store !  Thanks for reading this comic book / popular culture blog post!

Michael

Cartoon Comics Listed Here! 

Have No Fear.... Underdog is Here!   August 3rd!    Underdog is a real beagle in this live action movie film, but CGI effects will be used for the super-heroics!

 

TV & Movie Comics Listed Here!  

This is probably how YOU best know him, as Underdog!  His alter ego was 'Shoeshine Boy'... both characters were voiced by Wally Cox!

Our 2nd Most Currently Viewed Blog Post

 

of Those Previously Posted by MISM

 

Would have to be the blog post of Brigitte Nielsen as the She-Hulk in the not filmed comic book based movie. 

Previously I blogged about the fact that of earlier posted blog posts, the one about the upcoming Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie is the most viewed blog post we have, that was not a current blog post.

The popularity of the prior She-Hulk post could be that the new She-Hulk comic book series is really popular, or that blog readers didn't know that Brigitte was cast to be the She-Hulk and want to read (or view, LOL) more of her!

Below is the blog post that is currently our second most viewed blog post of previously posted blogs.

 

 

 

BRIGITTE NiELSEN as the SHE-HULK in Not Filmed Comic Book Based Movie

In this morning's earlier blog post I showed how Brigitte Nielsen, (born July 15, 1963 in Denmark), became very popular in 1980s B-movies, most notably as the lead character in Red Sonja, (1985), due to her stature (she stands at 6 ft 1 in, or 185 cm, tall) and sultry looks.

She made the Red Sonja character her own, but there was no sequel, and she went on to other movie projects with Sylvester Stallone, who became her husband.

However, in the late 1980s, Marvel Comics approached Brigitte to pose for photographs dressed as the comic book character She-Hulk.

Brigitte had previously impressed the company with her prior portrayal of their character Red Sonja and accordingly they hoped she would prove just as successful in a new movie venture.

Unfortunately the photos that were produced did not enlicit a large amount of investors in the potential film and Marvel was forced to scrap the project.

The top left photo show Brigitte modelling a skimpy outfit and I 'photoshopped' the photo to reflect a greenish hue about her, as the She-Hulk is green like her cousin the Incredible Hulk!  You can see that Brigitte definitely had the body double of the She-Hulk at that time!

There are very few pics of Brigitte dressed as the She-Hulk, with the one to the left being one of those.  As you can see by comparing thte middle photo to the picture in the comic book  cover bottom picture below, Brigitte would come across very well as the She-Hulk, alter ego of Jennifer Walters, who is a lawyer in her day job.

Sadly nothing became of the She-Hulk movie with Brigitte, and there does not appear to be any interest in producing one at this time....  instead we are getting  Ant-Man, Iron Man and some other characters in possible pre-production.

She-Hulk is currently being published in a new mini-series comic book, which would make it about the fifth time a solo series  featuring her has been attempted!   

I personally enjoyed the second comics series, which had John Byrne write and pencil the series, where She-Hulk would break the 'fourth wall' and talk to readers of the comics, knowing that she was in a comic book with her adventures being told.  Kind of a strange humour book, but when reading the comic it makes more sense...

 For those interested in She-Hulk comic books, we have listed them in our eBay Featured Store.
