Stray Books 

I always wondered how ten more books mysteriously appeared on my bookshelves for every book I finished reading.

I’m currently in the “set them free” part of this cycle.

Ladies and Genntlemen, let’s go for a ride on… The Bus.

What the…?

ETA: Jason Aaron is the writer. This is the most recent issue of The Incredible Hulk, where Banner and The Hulk had previously been spending some time as discrete individuals, but how have apparently been merged again. In this scene, the Hulk decides that he doesn’t want to turn back into Banner.

Or something. I’m not actually reading The Hulk book right now.

beatonna:

My mother gave the family a copy of this comic a while ago, and so I’ve restored it to where it was.  I wrote it in a moment of grief and took it down almost as soon as it went up, it is a comic that is very much in the moment of something.  My greatest affection and respect to the Beatons, they are good people, the very best.  A tribute would be the word I’d like to use for them and their son, here.

A lovely and sad thing.

Much of the unpublished work saw print in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade, a Summer 1978 two-issue ashcan “series” which “published” the work in limited quantity solely to establish the company’s copyright. The title was a play on DC’s 1940s series Comic Cavalcade. Some of the material already produced for the cancelled publications was later used in other series, however. The two volumes, composed of some of these stories along with earlier inventoried stories, were printed by DC staff members in black-and-white on the office photocopier. A total of 35 copies of each volume were produced, and distributed to the creators of the material, to the U.S. copyright office, and to Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide as proof of their existence

A Donald Duck Tijuana Bible? Now I’ve seen everything.

The comic will uniquely have 55 variant covers.

Jonas J. Jonasson.
I answered halcy:

“Don’t you condescend to me, young man.”

“Sir, I understand you’re upset, but I don’t think there’s much of a case here. We have some options you could look at—”

“I did not come to your offices today to be told my options. I came down here to sue the pants off those comics men.”

Mark sighed and rubbed his temples in what he realized was probably a rather unprofessional way. “Mister Jonasson, there’s no basis for a lawsuit.”

“They are ruining my professional image with their horrible caricature of me, and I want to put a stop to it!”

“You can’t sue them. The character has been around longer than you.”

“Damnit! I just want them to stop using J. Jonah Jameson! I want Stan Lee’s head on a platter!”

Reading this now. Quite interesting, both as a whirlwind tour of the History of Superhero Comic Books and as a memoir (Morrison describes his abduction experience in Kathmandu, among other adventures). Recommended.
