And he should have known, as he had been involved in comics for about six years by then!

The booklet was published by Famous Enterprises, Inc., in a paperback edition, and today can be found for sale at times around $150.00... there was a 'signed' copy for sale at $300.00 earlier this year on eBay!

Additionally there was a reprint edition of this booklet:

'Secrets Behind the Comics' (Limited Edition)
by Stan Lee, with Ken Dale (illustrator). Published by Marvel Limited in 1994. Currently OOP.. Out of Print. First print was a LIMITED edition (700 copies) of the 1947 edition. This reprint had a silver embossed cover. With 100 pages. It was a Hard Cover Black and White 6" x 9" (15cm x 23cm) with a Dust Jacket. 

And what's the man who knew the 'Secrets Behind The Comics' doing now you ask... Well Stan Lee himself was among the select few that were at the White House on Monday, November 17th, when he and a few others were awarded the National Medal of Arts. (Click here for full story...)

The award  is billed as the highest bestowed by the U.S. government.  So the Man who knew the 'Secrets Behind The Comics' way back in 1947 has been nationally recognized as contributing to American Arts 60+ years later! Congrats Stan!

Would you believe we have received yet several more emails this past week asking where our single episode reviews on this new 2008 TV Season are this new TV Season?!!

Well, it's this way folks! Tina and I are still watching our favorites from last season, and  have added some new ones this TV Season.

However, due to the WGA Strike last year and how it affected our viewing / blogging habits, our interest in reviewing single episodes just hasn't been rekindled enough to do more than general show reviews!

Additionally this New Season's Premiere episodes have been strung out since the beginning of September,  including the '24' two hour movie coming up this week!  Plus we still have other shows not starting until January 2009!

Adding to that... we have found other bloggers that are just blogging about one show, and are referring our blog readers to them for that type of info. Such as JOpinionated's blog on the 'Lost' TV Show. (Click here to see more On Jo!)

However we have blogged about a few  TV Shows and what our initial thoughts are on those so far, (see the above top left photo for just one of those reviews, Michael's pick for 'Breakout New Show'!). We will continue to blog about shows as we go through the season, just not on single episodes.

SUNDAY - Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters

MONDAY - Chuck, Heroes, Boston Legal

TUESDAY - House, Fringe

WEDNESDAY - Pushing Daisies, Knight Rider (Michael watching only), Top Chef

THURSDAY - Survivor Gabon, Ugly Betty, Life on Mars

FRIDAY - Crusoe

SATURDAY - Nothing (Unless we missed an episode that is being re-run this night)

 

 

The above are basically just the prime time TV Shows that we currently watch. When they return, we will also be watching 'Lost', '24', 'American Idol', and 'EUReKA' for sure!

In the list above we didn't include the SD Charger football games or the Philadelphia Eagles football games that we also watch. Or special sports events like the World Series. (Tina is from the Philly area.)

The extensive Election 2008 coverage that Michael is really into is now over... Michael is still having withdrawals from that! We watch basically the cable news networks for that type of info and regular news.

So, due to the reasons explained above, we aren't currently blogging individual episodes like we did before for: Heroes, Lost, Survivor, American Idol, Chuck, etc., at this time! (Click those links to see samples.) Additionally a few of our favorites will not be returning: Journeyman, Jericho, The 4400, and New Amsterdam.

For those of you that are new to our blog today, we have an ongoing 'Comic Con and Pop Culture Show' ourselves here at "Make It So Marketing Inc.", what with our daily blog posts and new listings of items for sale in our online store!
