Lifelong Mainer. Star Wars fan nearly as long. Also love comic books, book books, David Lynch, David Simon, David Milch . . . just all the Davids. Blue Jays & Oilers fan (stretching across the continent). Pinko liberal because "progress" is in progressive.
Yesterday was my first day of a two-week vacation. So, naturally, I spent some time organizing things in the comic room, including getting these lesser-known magazines & collections with work by Alan Moore into a binder. #comicsky #AlanMoore
Because at age 5 in 1977, seeing #StarWars on the big screen was a religious experience: It’s #StarWarsSunday! Share something Star Wars—toy, book, scene, character—from any era! This is a positive space it’s all good! This week: my favorite figure as a kid, LUKE SKYWALKER from Star Wars!!

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.
My cousin’s shirt took me a second. He said “it’s great because anyone who would be offended by it couldn’t understand it anyway.”

Name a story, run, or series that just tugs at your heart… & wallet. Daredevil: Born Again. One of the 1st collections I ever bought, the binding of that long ago failed. I bought the original issues, and the new trade. Plus the Artist's Edition. My #1 superhero story all-time. #comicsky
Bronze Age Babies@bronzeagebabies.bsky.social · 5d agoName a story, run, or series that just tugs at your heart… & wallet. I had a complete run of the Avengers, vol. 1-3. I had Marvel Masterworks. I had the Epic Collections. Sold them all years ago. I have the DVD-ROM files. But darned if this book isn’t calling me. The contents are my favorite era.

For #VintageToyTuesday, how about some Return of the Jedi Presto Magix! Hours of fun . . . if you really took your time determining where you wanted to place the images.

Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, my latest acquisition, "Flash of Two Worlds!" issue #123 of the silver age Flash. It's fragile, but the staples and pages are intact, and it is all mine. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks #comicsky #TheFlash

Happy Birthday to the King, Jack Kirby. I'm at work and don't have access to my collection, but here's the cover for one of my favorite runs of Kirby's (the one I feel is his best written), "The Losers" in Our Fighting Forces. #comicsky #JackKirby
