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.
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, Starchild: Awakenings by James Owen. The wonderful fantasy of the Higgins family, drawn in atmospheric black and white. An appropriate story for autumn. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks #comicsky
For a time, I wrote about comics at The Pulse website (for those dinosaurs who remember that), which I carried over to a personal blog. There, I wrote about "October Comics." Here's one: ANN BY THE BED by Emily Carroll #comicsky #OctoberComics cmbeckett1972.blogspot.com/2015/10/octo...

Mail call! Two more additions to the George Pérez collection, and I'm very happy to finally have added these. #comicsky #GeorgePérez #comicart

I hit the jackpot! Found all 16 volumes of @straczynski.bsky.social's Babylon 5 scripts on ebay, for a fair price. When they were first offered, I wasn't able to afford them, on the monthly schedule. Now, I'm very happy to add them to the collection. #Babylon5
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: the classic figure collector’s case, with vintage action figures!
Out of work early so... Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT, a perfect read for this time of year, with beautiful art from Mike Mignola. #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks #comicsky cc: @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social

Started reading the "Making Of Crisis" book from the new Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths. I knew Jerry Ordway had inked George Pérez's pencils from the massive cover he did for Alex Ross to paint, but I didn't know they included the inks & Pérez's pencils! WOW!!!! #comicsky #GeorgePérez
This is just factually correct. Like… it’s on the SAT.
Currently (re)reading, A1 from Atomeka Press. A late 80s/early90s black and white anthology of comics from some amazing creators, including Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Simons Bisley, Barry Windsor-Smith, Ted McKeever, John Bolton, and many others. Classic! #comicsky

For #VintageToyTuesday, my Playskool village playset from when I was very young. Note that I believed in safety first, adding some crosswalks and parking spaces.
Grim@grim1220.bsky.social · 2w agoFor #VintageToyTuesday, a Macross model kit for Millia’s(Miriya) Valkyrie. This was for the 15th anniversary, so I got it around 2000. Apparently too lazy to put it together. #Macross #Robotech
