Lifelong Mainer. Star Wars fan nearly as long. Also love comic books, book books, David Lynch, David Simon, David Milch . . . just all the Davids. Red Sox & Oilers fan (covering the coasts). Pinko liberal because "progress" is in progressive.
Because at age 5 in 1977, seeing #StarWars on the big screen was a religious experience:

Share something Star Wars—toy, book, scene, character—from any era! This is a positive space & it’s all good!

This week: Kenner’s blaster rifle!

Top Shelf Friday time 🎉

What's a comic in your collection that you think deserves to be on that top shelf? Whether its a key, rare, or just one you love ❤️

This week, Lone Wolf & Cub deluxe edition, vol. 1 by Koike & Kojima. Maybe my favorite all-time series.

Damn! Fantastic pick! Love the signature! That run of X-Men annuals had a murderer's row of artists.
I went with something brand new this week, though it's an older story. The Lone Wolf & Cub Deluxe edition, volume 1. This may be my favorite longform series in comics, so I had to get it.

That new deluxe Lone Wolf & Cub is gorgeous. Can't wait to dive in for a re-read!

Damn! That's amazing! Secret Wars was my introduction to the Marvel Universe -- issue 4, to be exact.

I'm going with something I shared early this week, the final unreprinted Alan Moore 2000AD story I needed to fill out my collection. The 1980 Sci-Fi Special. With bonus Empire Strikes Back pics!!!!
December 5, 2025 at 9:06 PM
And, to finish out the week, a couple of new posters I added to the collection. Now to get frames for them and throw them into the rotation.

This was a particular favorite, but it got lost at some point. The “Hockey Mask of Death” story always stayed with me, and I eventually replaced it. Happy I did.

While you organized I was taking out rusty staples and restapling some of my collection. Seems 90s-2000s b/w comics with bright white paper have that problem. At least in my collection, which I don’t bag & board (could be part of it). Something you might check.

My wife made a cranberry pecan pie for today’s feast…because my mother only had time to make five pies, two turkeys + stuffing, two casseroles, four sides, two types of rolls, and cornbread, for the 29 people showing up.
