As I follow Musk's recent business challenges, I am reminded of the late Colonel Harland Sanders. As he was known to be politically conservative (though, allegedly, pro-Civil Rights), George Wallace approached the KFC founder and registered trademark as a possible running mate. I know, how strange is that? That would be like Donald Trump becoming president. Anyway, Sanders turned him down, supposedly saying something like, "how would that help sell chicken?"
THE MARVEL AGE OF COMICS: 1961-1978 by Roy Thomas:
I always enjoy reading Roy Thomas's introductions to Marvel Masterworks. He never fails to provide behind-the-scenes insight into the origins of whichever series is under discussion. They have moved beyond his era by this point, but I always thought that, collected, his introductions would make a decent "History of Marvl Comics" book. that is essentially what this is. I buy some many archival comic book collections that, some years ago, I stopped buying strictly textual treatments. The Marvel Age of Comicsis text, but it is profusely illustrated and is written by Roy Thomas. It is well worth the (half) price I paid for it, but it would be a bargain at full price as well. I also bought...
WATCHMEN 12-VOLUME HC SLIPCASE: I didn't even know this 2016 set existed. I probably didn't pay too much attention to it when it was solicited and immediately forgot about it, but for half price I couldn't pass it up. Each larger-than-comic-book-size issue is hardcover, and the entire set is slipcased. It had never even been opened. Plus I has a coupon for 10% off my entire purchase, so I made out like a bandit.
