NO Sh1t HERE, Sherlock!

To commemorate the NEW Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law as Sherlock and Dr. Watson, we proudly present The Greatest Sleuth of All™ in an exclusive selection of kool kollectibles!
12 different designs, including several with Basil Rathbone, the man who is to Sherlock Holmes as Sean Connery is to James Bond (not the first, but to many [including myself], the definitive portrayer)!
Add to that, several classic comic book covers, a variety of other movie posters (including the campy A Study in Terror with Holmes as "The ORIGINAL Caped Crusader"!), the coolest cigar box art I've ever seen (based on William Gillette, the definitive stage Holmes), and 1st Edition covers including A Study in Scarlet and His Last Bow!
PLUS, our newest item: the Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes! 2010 12-Month Calendar!
With the NEW Robert Downey jr/Jude Law movie opening on Christmas, if you're looking for a cool, retro, post-Christmas gift for the Holmesian, Sherlockian, or Baker Street Irregular in your life, you can't go wrong with one of these calendars, mugs, bags, shirts or other goodies! (Let him/her go to the flick "secret chic" style with a vintage Holmes sweatshirt or hoodie!)

Comic Christmas Cover: SuperSnipe Comics

For the next few days, we'll be showing Christmas-themed Golden Age comic covers.
Today it's Supersnipe Comics Vol 4 #10 (Feb-Mar 1949).
"Supersnipe" was the daydream alter-ego of 10-year old Koppy McFad, "the Boy with the Most Comic Books in America"!
He (and I quote) "read 'em, breathed 'em and slept 'em"
Yes, he was the original fanboy!
