TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3664 - I just came across the above pictured DVD and immediately sat down and watched it on my laptop. Why? Well, here's one reason: Blog #3319. I've not seen all three of the performances below at one sitting. Yes, there are clips, kind of grainy, on video, but this is was the first DVD that I saw that had all three appearances of Elvis Presley and his group on the Ed Sullivan Show. So what does this DVD have? Here's a promo: "Share the excitement of Elvis Presley's earthshattering introduction to the nation in this collection of iconic performances from "The Ed Sullivan Show," and experience for yourself why Elvis became the legendary King of Rock and Roll! Appearing on the show Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis sent shock waves through a repressed nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV audience of more than 60 million people. Presley returned on Oct. 28, 1956, continuing to provoke ecstatic screams with hits such as "Don't Be Cruel," "Love Me Tender" and "Hound Dog." In fact, these exhilarating performances were so explosive that Elvis was filmed above the waist during his final Sullivan show appearance on January 6, 1957! Okay... That would be enough for me to at least rent this DVD, if not buy it! I found the screen quality of the videos to be very good, and so was the sound quality! I had not seen all three shows with all of the performances before in one sitting. Kind of reminded me why I had a very large Elvis Presley record collection at one time! If you haven't seen this DVD, you gotta check it out! I give this DVD a Very Fine / Near Mint (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale! Here is where you can purchase this DVD either New or Used!

Michael: This film does not have a comic book / graphic novel tie-in to my knowledge. There is an 'Alien/ Aliens' film tie-in though, which you can read about in the

I was surprised to see a sizeable back issues bin in the middle of the LCBS, and it actually had several nice back issues for sale. Other than being a little 'tight' in packing the bins, the display was a nice one.
