This was released ~2 wks ago, with mine being delivered earlier this week. I'm excited to dig into this over the wknd, and enjoy Ditko's pencils and inks in their original life-size scale, corrections and blemishes and all!

an interior photograph of the first page of Amazing Fantasy #15 for the story: SPIDER-MAN! "Like costume heroes? Confidentially, we in the comic mag business refer to them as "Long Underwear Characters"! And, as you know, they're a dime a dozen! But, we thinking you may find our SPIDERMAN just a bit... different!"

an interior photograph of the the comic book, opened to the first page of Part 2, showing Spidey in his classic costume, crawling on a wall, looking upside down from the reader's perspective. "Now anybody with the intelligence of a seven year old knows that if a man appeared on TV who seemed to more spider than human, he'd be an overnight sensation! Especially when his feats were performed without the help of trick photography (or genAI photo creation)! Well, you can just imagine how the public reacted to SPIDERMAN!"

The two published OA pieces I have so far: Page 15 from Daredevil (2023) #7 with pencils and inks by Aaron Kuder. Anthony Fowler Jr's orig. inks (over printed pencils by Denys Cowan) for an Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1 variant cover. I tried for Cowan's orig. pencils too, but they'd been sold.

#TopShelfFriday What's a comicbook in your collection that you think deserves to be on that top shelf? 💚 This week: ASM #700 with the Martín skyline variant cover. After 6 cons and 40 signatures, there's not much space left for news sigs. It might be time to retire it. Maybe. #comicbooks #comics

Ummmm, that's not quite right, AI. Maybe my cocktail appreciation is so problematic that it's perceived as being a job? 😅 (with apologies for being a TDO imposter on the internet, @cocktailmd.bsky.social. But if it gets me an invite to the next employee dinner...)

A screenshot of text from Google AI. The screenshot reads:

"Hoochalibre" (often written as @hoochalibre) is the handle of a known figure in the Seattle area, typically recognized as a Seattle Sounders fan and local bartender. If you are looking for their social media presence or local bar activities, check out the following platforms:Manuch Instagram: Follow their updates, which frequently feature content about the Seattle soccer and gaming scenes, or catch their reel recaps on the Manuch Instagram Reels page.Bartending: If you were trying to find them pouring drinks in Seattle, they previously worked at The Doctor's Office.If you are looking for something specific related to @hoochalibre (like a recent post, their beverage recommendations, or a local Seattle event), let me know so I can help!

Good luck, and good hunting. The aisles were narrow and crowded on Friday. I imagine they'll be moreso today. Have fun! One of the dealers had lots of 90s era Playmates, etc. toys:

Here's the excellent blank cover sketch of Spidey I got from @mikeshenderson.bsky.social at WA Summer Con 2026 on Friday. After seeing Mike post samples of his art here on BSky, I bee-lined to his table when doors opened hoping for a sketch cover commission.

a photograph of a comic book, the Amazing Spider-Man volume 7 issue #1 (legacy #965). The cover has an original sketch of Spider-Man by comic artist Mike Henderson. Spidey is in poised for action in a crouched stance with his Spidey Senses tinging. In the background is a broken piece of one of Doc Ock's mechanical arms, one of Goblin's pumpkin bombs flying toward Spidey.

The Toadies, live on KEXP this morning. It's not the best view from the back wall, behind the sound board. But thankfully, the control room screen provided a view of @realmarkrez.bsky.social doing his thing. I'm bummed for @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social that he couldn't make it. It was a great set.

I don't regret my decision-making, @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social, for not sending my ASM700 for the Zeck signing event. But my MSH Secret Wars #1 from that same event came back to me today. Had I sent the ASM700 with it... oh well. 🤷

A photograph of a comic book, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1. The cover shows numerous Marvel super heroes charging into action. The heroes include: Captain America, Cyclops, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Rogue, Thing, She-Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Human Torch, Storm, and Photon. The cover is signed by Jim Shooter, Michael Zeck, John Beatty, and Tom DeFalco.

It lacks the class of a such an iconic cover, but I'm using a copy of ASM700's Skyline variant to collect a bunch of creators where I might not have/take something else to have signed by them. I added 12 signatures last year. Preliminary planning has upwards of 15-20 before trimming the list some.

A photograph of Amazing Spider-Man #700. The cover shows Spider-man swinging across a silhouetted New York skyline with the names of various comics creators superimposed on the buildings. The white area is covered with approximately 20 creators' signatures in various colors and sizes.

TWINS! I'd also like to add copies of Old Man Skywalker, and Green Leader. I've been watching some on eBay, but haven't taken the plunge yet. I probably should, since their prices are likely keep going up along with his fame and acclaim. I waited on Martok. Could have bought at $50-60, paid $90. 🙃

I'm a Sounders supporter, & by extension also a fan of both Tacoma Defiance (Sounders' MLS Next Pro team), & Seattle Reign (NWSL). I was a Sounders' STH for the first 10 MLS seasons. I opted out just before 2020 as interests & hobbies evolved over time. It's been a few years, but I miss do matchday.

Today’s #comics mail call delivers my 4th copy of the MoPOP / Jeffrey Veregge variant for Spectacular Spider-Man #300. By now, this is a top-3 favorite cover for me. It took 1.5+ yrs to find my 1st, & now I've added 3 more w/in 8 months. I can't seem to say "no" when a clean copy shows up for sale.

A two-part image split in half top and bottom. The top is a screengrab from the movie Star Wars The Phantom Menace. It shows the Neimoidian character Nute Gunray. The image is captioned, "This is getting out of hand. Now there are two-squared of them." On the bottom is a photograph of four comic books laid side by side on a brown, wood table. All four comic books are Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #300. They have special cover art, done in a Coast Salish inpsired, indigenous art style drawn by Native American artist, Jeffrey Veregge, from the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe. It shows Spider-Man flying through the air with stylized versions of the Seattle Space Needle, Mount Tahoma, the Sun, and the Seattle skyline in the background.
