Continuing with #SciFiComicsMonth, I continue to be amazed of how many books in this genre I've managed to accumulate in the last few months. I know that some of them have to do with this hashtag month, but others have to do with the fact that I found an entire run or miniseries at the …
The Griffin #1-6
I mentioned the possibility of covering DC's sci-fi offerings in the post-Crisis 1980s in a podcast episode, and I'm still thinking of that, especially since while this was an early 1990s series, The Giffin falls into the sci-fi/superhero hybrid genre and was completely outside of the DC Universe of the time. My understanding is that …
A DC Science Fiction Two-Fer
I've got an enormous stack of DC science fiction books to read, most of which I found in that huge quarter sale back in the fall. Some of the series were fairly interesting to me when I grabbed the issues; others were fairly interesting to me back when they were solicited back when I was …
Tandy Computer Whiz Kids in “The Answer to a Riddle”
I think this is technically #SciFiComicsMonth? I mean, computer science is a science and this is fiction … Anyway, the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids comics are something that I didn't know existed until a few years ago when I ran across a beat-up copy of a Superman team-up issue in a cheap bin and grabbed …

Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man Special
It's not like I had forgot Topps Comics was a thing back in the 1990s because at one point I owned a Captain Victory comic book and I believe I might have bought their adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula when it came out. But when I looked at the cover of the book and saw …
The Year in Uncollecting 2022
Four years in and I'm coming off one of the toughest years I've had, at least on an emotional level. I find that when my anxiety and depression are on a higher setting, I tend to fall into bad habits of spending money, eating more, getting out less, and overally not taking care of myself. …
Classics Illustrated #53 and Marvel Classics Comics #36
Why do two issues from two separate books that were published 30 years apart? Well, both of these issues adapt Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Story," the quintessential tale for #HolidayComicsMonth. I picked up both of these at my LCS for very little--maybe about a buck or two--and saved them for this week when we're …

The Crow: Hark the Herald
You know, I'm not really familiar with The Crow as a franchise. I own a trade collection of the original James O'Barr comics that I bought around the time that the movie came out in 1994 and still own my VHS copy of the film. Other than listening to my college roommate's copy of the …
DC Comics Presents #67
I guess if you're a DC fan and you're going to read something for #HolidayComicsMonth, this is one of those books that you're eventually going to get around to? Well, I don't think I actually planned on reading this for December, but I will say that when I came across DC Comics Presents #67 at …
