Gone Shopping

It's Black Friday.
I spent all days fighting crowds to score bargains on stuff for those I love.
Now I'm going to pass out.
See you tomorrow, which, by the way is...
...so please patronize small businesses...including us!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Going to the relatives' for dinner and probably lots of arguing and fighting.
I love this time of year!  ;-)

YouTube Wednesday: "Curious Case of Santa Claus" with Jon Pertwee

My favorite Dr Who is #3, played by Jon Pertwee...
Jon as The Doctor with Eizabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, his final companion
...so when this documentary about Kris Kringle, packaged as a tale featuring Pertwee as a psychiatrist with a patient (James Coco) who thinks he's Santa Claus, ran on A&E in the late 1980s, I taped it and showed it every Christmas...until the tape jammed!
Now I (and you) can enjoy it again...

A Dearth of Ditko!

The career of the co-creator of Spider-Man, Dr Strange, Captain Atom and The Question began here...
Click on art to enlarge and read
...with this sinister story, written by Bruce Hamilton, from Fantastic Fears #5 (1953) which was Steve Ditko's first assignment, but his second published work!
This week and next, RetroBlogs™ are featuring the early (pre-Marvel/DC) work of Steve Ditko!
Western Comics Adventures™ offers one of his Black Fury stories (He did several)
Tomorrow, True Love Comics Tales™ has his second assignment (but first story published), one of the few romance comic jobs he did!
On Friday, War, Past, Present & Future™ has a rarely-seen Civil War story!
Next Tuesday, Crime & Punishment™ will relate Ditko's contribution to Radio Patrol!
Next Thursday, a startling reworking of the Cinderella story will appear in Seduction of the Innocent™.
And, sometime next week, we'll present a superhero surprise at Hero & Heroine Histories™!
Don't miss a single Ditko!
