Escape From Key West!
paul | January 15, 2012
Whew! I got out of there just in time! From Monday, December 26th to January 2nd, a large contingent of my family and I spent a great week in Key West, Florida. Sunny every day with the temps in the high 70s and a nice breeze, but that was going to change as a cold [...]

Video Question of the Week
Dave | November 2, 2011
And so once again Stanislavski weeps with another installment of Captain Blue Hen Comics One Take Theater. See Joe’s horrible card reading. Thrill to Dave’s mesmerizing performance. Watch agog that anyone’s handwriting could be that bad. But on the upside, there’s a new Question of the Week. Let’s hear how you vote.

10,000+ comics – just in time for the new Overstreet!
paul | July 24, 2011
The Overstreet’s here! The Overstreet’s here! Like Steve Martin in one of the best comedies ever, the yearly arrival of the Overstreet Price Guide is a major event day for me and, as the title suggests, it came right after I purchased a huge collection. Last Wednesday, I was the first to inspect a collection [...]

$150,000 for Hulk 181, a buck for Hulk 102!
paul | April 19, 2011
Yep, supposedly, someone recently paid 150 grand for a 9.9 graded copy of Hulk 181, the first full appearance of Wolverine! The finest known copy, I guess. We had a decent copy of it in the showcase for a mere $675 and several people said they were going to buy it. Well, you’re all too [...]
The #1 Thing wrong with Comics Today…
joe | April 18, 2011
…is that you can’t buy monkeys from them any more. Check this out from Avengers #35 from 1966. How frigging cool is that? But it begs so many questions. How surprised will Mom be when that package arrives? What can you train it to do? Does it only eat lollipops? Which has a better chance [...]
Coen Brothers Discuss Live Action Pooh
joe | March 28, 2011
Joel and Ethan Coen (Raising Arizona, True Grit, No Country for Old Men) announced to Varietea details about their upcoming Winnie the Pooh movie. Set to debut later this year the project has been shrouded in secrecy. In a bold move by Disney’s new creative regime the movie was green-lighted as a live action project [...]
The Coolest Place I’ve Been To This Year
kita | February 13, 2011
Yesterday I took the wife and kids to Disney Princesses on Ice–this is NOT the coolest place I’ve been to this year–in Baltimore. Later we went to lunch in Federal Hill and hit a museum after. This was a place I have not been to before, but will definitely check out again: the American Visionary [...]

The Lone Ranger- A Christmas Story- Green Hornet Conspiracy
joe | January 14, 2011
So what does the Green Hornet’s father have to do with the tacky leg lamp Ralphie’s Old Man wins in A Christmas Story? It was his horse that won it for him! Huh? John and Dan Reid were brothers. Younger brother John follows in his elder sibling’s footsteps and becomes a Texas Ranger. During a [...]
Another Festivus has come and gone, and, oh yeah, Happy New Year!
paul | January 1, 2011
I promised (threatened?) that I would post some of the more interesting/entertaining grievances that were put in our Festivus grievances box. Turns out, we only received 5 total this year!? Either that means that our customers are fairly content – a good thing – or unless I offer some sort of potential prize, as I [...]
