Asks... Do You Know...
 
My Secret?!
 
It is a One-Shot Magazine from Atlas-Seaboard!
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS (GUEST) BLOG #3963 -     I wanted to mention this magazine that was published by Atlas / Seaboard Publications back in February of 1975.

It was a confession text magazine with photos in black & white format.  It was edited by Karen Flashner.

So besides publishing comic books, which I've blogged about several times in the past, (see this link), Martin Goodman's new company also was looking into publishing magazines, similar to his setup back when he owned Magazine Management that published mags & Marvel Comics!

However, before you start looking for one of these... It is ten times more rare than the 'Gothic Romances' magazine by Atlas / Seaboard.   I've looked!  There appears to be only three known copies of this magazine!

Please note:  Other than the Captain America t-shirt the model is wearing on the front cover.. There isn't any cother comic book connection!

So for those of you that thought you had a complete Atlas / Seaboard collection... You are probably one issue shy of that goal now!

Presents Today's Blog... Which Covers the Upcoming San Diego Comic Fest!

 

BLOG #3962 -     I wanted to mention one more time about the upcoming 2013 San Diego Comic Fest that starts THIS Friday, October 4th and runs through Sunday October 6th. 

That's because we just had our last planning meeting for this Comic Fest yesterday, on Sunday, at the Town & Country Resort meeting facilities.

I am partial to this convention becuase I'm the administrator for the Facebook Fan Page for the San Diego Comic Fest, which can be found at this link.

I'll be posting most of the news about the Comic Fest at that fan page before, during and after the Comic Fest.

In the meantime I wanted to bring some other links to your attention:

3-Day Memberships Link

Single Day Purchases info

Guests

Programming

List of Exhibitors in Dealers Room

Artist Alley

Volunteers - Still time for You to Volunteer!

Hours of the San Diego Comic Fest

There's more links, but these are probably the ones that would interest you most...

Hope to see you there at the 2013 San Diego Comic Fest!

~ Michael

Remembers...
 
Hardware Wars!
 
AND Cinthia Freeling (aka Cindy Furgatch) As Princess Ann Droid!
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS (GUEST) BLOG #3961 -     I looked one more time this week at the above photo showing Cinthia Freeling as 'Princess Ann Droid' before packing it to ship to one of my eBay customers...

Cinthia played the role in the 1978 film 'Hardware Wars', which was an early parody film of the classic 'Star Wars' that was released in 1977!

I had met Cinthia (Cindy) at a Los Angeles SciFi & Comics Convention several years ago. She was very nice and a pleasure to talk with.

For those of you that haven't seen the film, or want to know more about it, I'd suggest reading the Wikipedia entry on it.

Oh, and there is also a Hardware Wars web site where you can purchase the 20th Anniversary Edition DVD!

My thanks again to Cindy!

~ Michael

The 2013 Long Beach Comic Con Runs November 23rd thru 24th!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3959 -     Yesterday I mentioned a comic convention that is happening in Europe, (Malta Comic Con).

Today I'm mentioning that the 5th Annual Long Beach Comic Con will be running November 23rd thru 24th in Long Beach, California!

I've attended all the previous 4 LBCCs plus the 4 LBCC Expos that take place earlier each year.

This comic con reminds of what the San Diego Comic Con used to be before Hollywood invaded it!   It is that good!

So, I'm suggesting that you mark your calendars for this 2013 LBCC!

The Facebook Fan Page is at this link.

The web site for the LBCC is at this link.

Photos from the 1st year's LBCC, (in 2009), can be found at my own Facebook Fan Page at this link.  Stan Lee cut the Opening Day Ribbon!

I'll be updating more on this year's LBCC in the weeks to follow!
