What Did You Get For Christmas?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I sure did. My wife indulges my nerdery! Here's most of what I got.

Hulk stuff from my wife.

Marvel 3 3/4 inch action figures from my wife.

Heroes Season 1 DVD from my wife. Blu-rays from my son. He also got us a blu-ray player. I guess it's about time we joined the 21st century! :)

A couple of Uncle John's Bathroom Readers and a People of Walmart boxed calendar from my wife.

Trading cards from my wife. I'll probably blog about the Mars Attacks Invasion cards in a later post.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmastime!

M-M-Merry Christmas From Max Headroom

Wow! I haven't posted anything for over a month and it's nine days until Christmas. This holiday season is coming way too fast for me. I finally finished my tree yesterday and I have almost all of my decorations up. Also, I've been working a lot of over-time and things are kind of hectic. But, enough about me. You come here for tidings and joy! lol

I have a full box of Max Headroom Christmas cards put out by Hallmark in 1986. I found these at a thrift store many, many years ago for 99¢. I loved Max back in the 80s. Here's the front and inside of the cards.

And here's Max's classic holiday song from 1986 - Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You're a Lovely Guy)

Countdown To Akron Comicon Day 1

This coming Saturday is the 2nd Annual Akron Comicon. I went to the first one last year and had a blast! You can see my photos from it here. I'm really looking forward to going again this year.

To get myself in the mood, I am wearing a different comic book shirt each day this week and will share a picture of it for all to see. Because who doesn't like to see my t-shirt collection? :)
