Record-Making Wood!

These are just plain cool. I well remember seeing them advertised in many a comic magazine along with other vinyl rarities. Over the years I've come into possession of a few of them, but to have them all would be delightful. I can find no evidence these have ever been put into any other format, but a CD featuring the adaptations of these Jules Verne and H.G. Wells classics along the Wally Wood covers would be a commodity I'd value and love to have. While vinyl is making a comeback, I'm no longer set up for it here at my hacienda.

This ad shows all of the Wood studio covers as well as some others of note. The King Kong and Flash Gordon are of particular interest to me. The latter featuring some of Al Williamson's finest artwork on the character. And that's saying something.

Nifty Presents - King Of The Comics!

Over the years I have gathered up quite a heaping helping of King Features comics, comics waiting for me to finally at long last read them up. I keep meaning to and something stops me, or another whim catches my fancy for a while. Prince Valiant, Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, Popeye the Sailor are all terrific King Features series, some of the most important pop culture creations of the 20th Century. So it is a grand treat to get hold of this mighty tome which has great background on those fine series as well as many many others which helped define comics as we know them today.
