A Star Wars Christmas is coming...

...and what better way to celebrate than singing Christmas carols along with C3PO and R2D2?
Produced in 1980, this Christmas album was produced by Meco Monardo (who had previously recorded Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk).
Anthony Daniels voiced C-3PO and Ben Burtt provided the sound effects he created for Star Wars to bring R2-D2 and Chewbacca to life! 
'What Can You Get a Wookiee for Christmas (When He Already Owns a Comb)' reached #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in 1980. (It was the third digitally-recorded single in chart history.)
Trivia: Jon Bon Jovi made his first recording ever on this album (credited as John Bongiovi), singing lead vocals on 'R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas.' Bon Jovi did it as a favor to his cousin Tony Bongiovi, one of the producers of the album.

The Thanksgiving Turkey Cometh...

...and it's going to be tasty, indeed!

Perhaps the only Red Sonja-related comic to never be reprinted after its' initial publication, the adaptation of the 1985 movie was presented in two formats...
a magazine-sized Marvel Super Special, and a two-issue comic book-format mini-series.
As usual, we'll be presenting elements from both versions in our usual serialized format starting on Thanksgiving Day and running daily through Sunday through two RetroBlogs: Secret Sanctum of Captain Video and Heroines!
Don't Miss Them!

Friday Fun CHRISTMAS WITH MOTHER GOOSE "Little Boy Blue and Little Girl Green

Here's an early example of a "mash-up"...

Written and illustrated by Walt (Pogo) Kelly, this never-reprinted tale from the final Christmas with Mother Goose anthology (Dell's Four Color #253 [1949]) adds new characters that didn't exist in the nursery rhyme.

With the sequel film to Frozen opening tonite...
...we're re-presenting the classic (and extremely-different fairy tale the flick is based upon!
In fact, it's probably the most-altered of all the Disney flicks based upon old-time fairy tales!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SEEKER 3000 "HumanKind" Part 1

We Have Already Seen...

...I love these synopsis pages!
They present both the series' concept and the action from the previous issue!

As numerous episodes of various Star Trek series and this never-reprinted chapter from Marvel's Seeker 3000 #3 (1998) show, seizing a human starship is one thing.
Keeping it when facing a motivated crew is quite another matter!
As you might have guessed...
To Be Continued
Next Wednesday!
