#TopShelfFriday In keeping with the comics community spirit in the thread, while not the original copy, this was one of my first X-Men stories I remember reading and making me want to be a mutant.

Cover to issue number 109 of “The All-New, All-Different” X-Men.

On the cover, standing in the center of a river, Guardian in his Canada Maple leaf red and white suit, with an upper cut, punches Wolverine in his classic yellow and blue costume, causing him to fall back. Storm approaches in the background while Colossus is hit by Guardian’s energy blast.

Just thinking of this brilliant joke from Community… “I wish there was a word to describe the pleasure I feel at viewing misfortune…”

Anyway, here’s my mental health aid watching the games with me to keep me in line.

Awww my sweet blue-eyed girl. I miss her still. (Oh! And my dad was there too! Probably talking to you about “Mr. Will”)

The last saved celebrity is your therapist. Ehhhhhhhh… … okay. Okay.

Top Shelf Friday time! In honor of the premiere this weekend, I’m picking Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Beautifully illustrated and lovely storytelling.

I was going to say, the original Phantom Lady showed a lot more than just “more leg”… Dave Stevens pin-up for DC’s original Who’s Who.

The WW2 super hero, Phantom Lady, dressed in yellow bathing suit style costume, with green cape and belt and boots. She is flying into the air, zapping two Nazis below her

I very much geeked out during that scene. I was legit…

#TopShelfFriday In honor of the recent season of Daredevil Born Again, his first solo graphic novel, “Daredevil in Love and War” by Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz One of the most beautiful and influential pieces of Marvel art.

This was one of my favorite runs, Black Widow by Perez over 4 issues.

Cover to Marvel Fanfare issue 11, featuring Blqck Widow in traditional all black outfit holding onto a rope with her left hand and firing a pink sting from her right wrist band. A collage of faces and scenes behind her.

Why a cupcake or any other hipster nonsense when I can have the far superior pastel de nata?

Two pastéis de nata (Portuguese egg tart pastries, golden with crispy crust and burnt custard tops) on a white plate next to a cup of espresso.

Suck it, hipster bullshit

How about a Two-For? The intro of Kid Flash and the intro of his own suit (still one of Wally’s best).

After absolute nutty few weeks of life, it was an absolutely delightful surprise Tuesday night to get home to a package in the mail from @briannaduggan.bsky.social! My first order of prints had arrived. Can't wait to frame them + hang them for inspiration. Thanks, for the Coop, Brianna!

Two prints by Brianna Ashby.
On the left, "Damn Fine", a damn fine cup of coffee on blue, inspired by Twin Peaks.

On the right, "Passion of the Coop", an illustration of Kyle MacLachlan as Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks. He is painted like a saint, with a coffee mug ring stain as his halo and two pieces of cherry pie flanking his shoulders.

Spotted in Cambridge, MA

A sticker homage of the cover to Action Comics #1, but instead says “Abolish DHS-ICE” and has Superman lifting up an armored military transport and slamming into another while masked white terrorists cosplaying as police run like the scared chodes they are. Attached to the top of a fire call box with another sticker that reads “stop scabbin’”. Crosswalks visible.

In that vein: As a weird kid who loved private eye and pulp fictions, especially Doc Savage books, this contemporaneous house ad for a mini by O’Neil and the Kuberts went massively hard and had me psyched for a reimagining of Doc as a Hard Boiled Pulp Hero… That didn’t happen.

DC House Ad for “Doc Savage”, looking into an office from above, with his back to viewer, a man is sitting in a chair at a desk, his feet on the desk, a smoking gun in his right hand.

#TopShelfFriday In honor of the “holiday” weekend:

Morning, Coach!

Helder@heldermira· Apr 27

It’s one of the all time greats for sure. And the interiors by John with Sal on inks, live up to that cover and story. I mean, that splash page!!

Splash page of The Silver Surfer issue 4.
The god of mischief Loki sullenly sits on his throne, lost in sinister thought so that he is allowing liquid to pour out of the drinking horn in his hand.

Title: “The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny!”

Here for #SilverAgeSunday I’ll start my contribution with #SilverSurferSunday (what I used to call it). My first Silver Surfer story I read.

Cover to Silver Surfer vol 1 issue 4.
From the upper right, the Surfer rockets at the mighty Thor on the rainbow bridge, looking up with his hammer held back to strike.

Can’t wait! And I’m currently looking at one of the first prints I bought years ago and gifted to my friend who became my girlfriend.

And my friend had this visitor this morning in Collinsville. Poor fella must have been a rough Saturday night… Gotta stay away from the Quiver Spirits!!!
