Happy New Year's Day!

 Happy New Year!

from Superman & Atomic Kommie Comics™!

HAPPY NEW YEAR with "What is Your New Year's Resolution?"

To begin the year, here's a never-reprinted, 30 year-old strip that proves...

...some things (like Wolverine's popularity) never change!

But some things, like a Captain America movie going direct-to-video (and the discount bin), do change!

Written and illustrated by Darren Auck, this was part of the Yuletide holiday issue of Marvel's What The--?! #11 (1991), a revival/revamp of the Silver Age Not Brand Echh self-spoof concept which lasted twice as long (26 issues) as Not Brand Echh (13 issues)!

Curiously, unlike NBE, very little material from What The--?! has ever been reprinted!

Happy New Year's Day!

One of the coolest New Year's Eve/New Year's Day covers ever!

Happy New Year!

Why not celebrate the New Year with the most famous time-travel story of all?

HG Wells' The Time Machine...

...and Alex Toth's never-reprinted adaptation of the classic George Pal movie at our "brother" blog Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™?

Happy New Year 1918!

Will we soon be at war again?

I hope not...but with the current loonie in the White House...

Happy New Year's!

Action Comics #81. Art by Wayne Boring & Stan Kaye

Expanding the RetroBlogs™ family paid off well as the audiences for each specialized blog grew both through search engines and crossover events, including the Lone Ranger (first multi-blog posting of a single storyline), Frankenstein, and most recently, Christmas Comics multi-blog postings.

RetroBlogs™ fans also accounted for more than half of our various Collectibles stores' sales, so, a humble "thank you" for your display of good taste!

The stores account for more than half of our annual income, so your patronage is greatly appreciated.

One of our New Year's resolutions is to reduce the amount of stuff in our condo, so we're instituting a Graphics Swag and One of-a-Kind Collectibles Page at the top of this blog to sell some of the goodies we've accumulated over three decades in publishing (including stints at various comics companies).

Most of the items are industry-only swag or in-house production items like make-readies or cover/page proofs you won't see anywhere else!

Check back every few days for new items!
