$6.50 pickup. Nice copy featuring 2nd Man-Thing appearance. A bit of tanning and a small chip in the cover but for under ten bucks a solid value.

Maybe we’ll get to see the Batgirl movie now that NFLX is buying WBD

I was on FB (a rarity, but my wife is traveling and I was looking at her lovely pix in France) and saw a post for a comics retailer I’d not seen before. Went to the site and most of the prices for raw books seemed to be 25-125% higher than FMV. I mean ridiculously overpriced. Weird.

Today is the birthday of artist Joe Sinnott (Oct. 16, 1926–June 25, 2020). Most known for his work as an inker for Marvel, particularly his lengthy run on the Fantastic Four.

How hard is it to determine if he accepted a bribe from actual FBI agents. I mean c’mon, either he did or didn’t.

It’s moving day and I couldn’t sleep past 4:00 am. Pray for me. We will have 6 helpers (paid) so no literal heavy lifting but lots of coordination. Luckily Ms. Doctor is a master logistician.

Welcome back
Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Not a good time on this one. Took way too long to see the gimmick. I did reach a milestone of 1600 days so yay me #crosswords

📣 Hey Iran! News flash! 📣

An authoritarian regime run by an aging billionaire ruler backed by religious zealots that oppresses women and LGBTQ+ citizens by sending masked, violent security forces to jail them is OUR thing.

Don’t you forget it.

My wonderful partner Dr. Scarlett Heinbuch did an interview with @thanatostv.bsky.social about our SNDE (shared near death experience). Watch closely for a cameo by yours truly and some bonus art reveals.

Example #42,543 that Jim Cramer has turned into a caricature; he said just now on CNBC, “I thought that we were going to have the budget cut because of DOGE.” To think I used to have respect for this guy as a market commentator.

Nice tribute with some great art examples!
