What's That ??? 

Saw a Blog Post yesterday where the blogger referred to themself as a 'Silver Surfer' because that is a new media catch phrase for 'older web users'...

Well, with my interest in comic books, and being a looooong time fan of the Fantastic Four where the 'Real' Silver Surfer was introduced, I hadda check this out for myself!!

It does appear that the term 'Silver Surfer' is starting to be applied to those 'senior' citizens that are surfing the web now!

That was news to me!  What will 'The Media' think of next??

Ok, let me see now...

I just turned 'double nickels' end of July just in time to celebrate at the Comic Con...

I 'have' to dye my beard otherwise I do have that 'silver' (actually salt and pepper... well, ok, mostly salt...) look to my beard color!

I am 'bald' on top.... nah... that's more like the 'Real' Silver Surfer....

So I am older, not technically a 'senior' citizen yet, altho I do now belong to AARP!

I do 'Surf' the Web.... every day....!

So I guess I could be tagged as a 'Silver Surfer'!

Jeez..... and here I also thought I was more like The Thing of the Fantastic Four!

LOL !!

Tina Joins The Crew of The Starship Enterprise... 

...You can see her at the left of Lt. Uhura. Doesn't she look excited to be traveling at warp speed??!!

I think she has a touch of motion sickness, by the pained expression on her face!

You too can join the Federation for a 'Seven Hour Tour' by visiting the 'Star Trek Experience' at the Las Vegas Hilton like Tina and I did. It was a blast!

Until then, you can read about (her co-stars') adventures in the Star Trek Comics we have in our eBay Featured Store! They are a 'must-have' for all serious Trekkies!  Click here to see current listings!

Howard the Duck That Is !!! 

Howard the Duck last ran for President back in 1976, as seen by the now RARE Howard the Duck Campaign Button to the right.

Howard was originally just a comic book character, but he became a movie star (some say flop) in the 1986 film produced by Lucasfilm and Universal Pictures, after his presidential campaign bid fizzled out...

The film about his life on Earth was directed by Willard Huyck from a script by Huyck and his wife Gloria Katz. The film starred Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, Tim Robbins, and Chip Zien as the voice of Howard.

Supposedly the film was inspired by the Marvel Comics characters Howard the Duck and Beverly Switzler who were created by Steve Gerber, although their appearance and portrayals in the film almost completely ignored their original source material.

The film was widely panned by the critics and was known as a box office bomb and reviled by fans, but it renewed enough attention on the character for the Marvel Comics Group to keep Howard the Duck in the Marvel Universe as a Guest Star here and there....

So since Howard the Duck isn't as busy as he once was, perhaps it is time for us to draft him as a presidential candidate again! 

Instead of these early mud-slinging verbal contests, and candidate sniping videos, Howard would excel at 'shaking the tail feathers' contests!!  Especially since the Rock Band 'Kiss' has special interest in performing at his gigs, (See issues #12 & #13 of his first solo series).

For those interested in figuring out if Howard is truly the one to vote for, we have several comic books about his early adventures in our eBay Featured Store!  Check them out and vote early (and often!!).
