Stan Lee.... Manga Writer ?
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: Comic Book History

 

Stan Lee... Manga Writer?

So What's Stan lee up to now?

Well for one thing, Stan Lee is actually teaming up with VIZ Media to help debut the prologue chapter of Viz's ULTIMO (otherwise known as KARAKURIDÔJI ULTIMO)!

What's that you say?  Well, the 32 page prologue will debut in a special April 2008 issue of the Japanese manga magazine 'Jump SQ.'.

We don't mention manga here very much, so what 'Jump SQ.' actually is, it's the 'sibling publication' of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump!

Ok, so what's that? Well historically that has been the best selling manga magazine in Japan!

This special project that Stan is involved in, is a stand-alone issue called Jump SQ.II.

Quoting Stan now.. he says, "I am deeply honored for this great opportunity to collaborate with an award-winning artist/writer of the stature of Hiroyuki Takei. I enthusiastically expect that the combination of an American story-telling style merged with Takei-san's acclaimed Japanese style will result in our joint creation 'ULTIMO' presenting an original, exciting type of manga that will appeal to comic book fans around the world."

Stan was never one for short phrases!

So for you Stan Lee fans, take a look at this manga project and let us know what you think of it!

For those of you that are new to our blog, we have an ongoing comics and pop culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

Strange Scramble !
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: Comic Book History

 

Strange Scramble!

 

No, I'm not talking about a breakfast plate, even though in a lot of the world it's breakfast time as I post this blog!

Instead I'm talking about just one of the many scrambled word pages in one of Marvel Comic's titles that were aimed for kids at one time!

The comic book series was titled 'Fun And Games' and was a regular sized comic book even though it was a compilation of mazes, word scrambles, coloring pages, trivia tests, etc.!

Due to the fact that most of these 'interactive' comics were written in or cut out or even colored... the odds of finding a Near Mint (NM) copy today is actually harder than one would think!

We have several issues in varying condition grades listed for sale at this time, and wanted to bring this to our readers' attention as these have been an undervalued and overlooked comic book series but are being looked for today by collectors!

For those of you that are new to our blog, we have an ongoing comics and pop culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

 

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and come back again!

Whew, that is one 'Strange Scramble' that Doctor Strange has put together! Enough to tax the mind this early in the morning! Gotta get another cup of coffee to finish it!

Our Top 5 Of The American Idol Remaining 5 !
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: TV Shows

 

Our Top 5

Of The American Idol's Remaining 5!

This blog post's list was written right after the announcement last night that Carly Smithson was going home...

I wanted to wait to make sure that no emotions were left from the surprise that both Syesha and Carly were in the Bottom 2 of the Top 6...

Tina has always said that I 'have no taste in music', which I have blogged about here before!

Funny thing is, her Top 5 List and my Top 5 List are exactly in the same order!

Again, this list is OUR TAKE which is based on our thoughts of the Talent, Personality and overall performances for the Season, NOT Popularity, as this current week's results have clearly proven that this is a Popularity Contest, not Talent Contest!

Our Top 5 Based on that criteria are as follows:

#1 David Cook

#2 Syesha Mercado

#3 David Archuletta

#4 Brooke White

#5 Jason Castro

FYI, we have blogged about Season 7 since the first show. CLICK HERE for our previous blog post about the 3 Judges Thoughts on The Final 8!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

For those that missed 'Our Take On The American Idol Results Show' from last night, CLICK HERE!

Archived Blog Posts Live On!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Cons

 

Archived Blog Posts Live On!

I have been asked why we keep our numerous archived blog posts online instead of deleting them...

Well, I just had another query, this time from a United Kingdom eBayer who took the time to click on one of our current listings to ask me a question about an archived blog post from December 30, 2007... which is about 4 months old now!

The archived blog post was on 'Weather Woman' Kei Mizutani who I met at the SDCC 2000.

There I had her sign some posters to me, and also picked up a couple of other promotional items, not really knowing who she was as I hadn't seen the 'Weather Woman' films!

But I enjoy seeing new actors / actresses and other new and upcoming projects when attending pop culture or comics conventions!

So, we'll be keeping our archived blog posts ongoing both on our eBay Blog and non-eBay Blog as we never know who'll be contacting us next about some archived blog post we have!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

So come back and visit us again!

Do You Want To Know The 'Value' Of Your Comic Books?
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Comic Book History

 

Do YOU 

Want To Know The 'Value' Of Your Comic Books?

 

 

Then what you need is a Comic Book Price Guide!

For those of you that go to either estate sales, comic book conventions, swap meets, or even garage sales, having a 'hard copy' comic book price guide is the way to go!

We use the one standard reference that has been in print since the 1970's, that is the 'Overstreet's Comic Book Price Guide'!

Since we refer to it so much we purchase the Spiral Bound Edition, which is coming out the final week of May 2008 if you want to wait for that edition!

And the latest edition, #38, is out now for purchase.

No, we don't have it for sale, but just wanted to give all of our blog readers a 'heads up' that it has been published!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and come back to visit us again!
