Grumpy's Comic Collection
@grumpyscollection.bsky.social
Posting pictures from my personal comic book collection. That's it. I quit collecting during the 2007 global financial meltdown. New job (60+ hours/wk) and family duties took up my time. Approaching retirement, so will start collecting again.
1st Browns game of the season means drinking from the 1981 Brian Sipe glass. This year's selection is a Sam Adams Flannel Fest dunkel. Now to hand wash the glass until the last game. #Clevelandbrowns #Cleveland #nfl

I've always loved this cover. Can never explain why. I just do. It's beautiful.

Quote post with the X-Men comic that came out the month you were born.

Assuming we are going by cover date and not release date

Stilt Man is on my list of characters that need to be in another She-Hulk group therapy session.

Finally saw Thunderbolts. No spoilers. Florence Pugh's Yelena is definitely the star. Absolutely love her! This movie is like my family at Thanksgiving. Lotsa undiagnosed mental health issues. I saw parts of myself in each character. And that scares me 😱. Bob.

This week, Howard the Duck Annual #1.

I was way into Howard long before his movie skyrocketed him to superstardom!

My text exchange with my daughter. They're on vacation so I'm plant-sitting my Granddaughter's flowers. She's 7. 8 years in the Navy on submarines. 28 years working on steel mill hydraulics. And I've never been so stressed in my life trying to keep these flowers from wilting.

New Teen Titans #4

Probably always be my favorite TT lineup. Loved his transition to Nightwing, but there was just something ultra cool about Batman's sidekick leading his own team. And not the "Junior Justice League" version in the original series.

Originally appearing in my beloved Micronauts, Captain Universe gets a twist. The Uni-Force attempts to call Ray Coffin back into service but he has a heart attack. His son, Steve, is chosen instead.

Not comic book related, but have y'all tried these Dr. Pepper Peeps? Insanely delicious and I don't even like Peeps.
