From November 1979 LIFE magazine, "Barbie Turns 21." A walk through the first 2 decades of a toy line nearing 70 years of age. Now, in 2024, a wonderful & fun Oscar nominated movie. Good luck! A lot has changed over the years, but much has not.

New Fantastic Four promo steeped in MCM trappings suggest a '60s setting for the July '25 film. The LIFE mag in Ben Grimm's hands seems to be 12/13/63, but at a Valentine's Day party, so, at least 2 months old when he's reading it.

A better cover choice for the FF might have been the 10/4/63 DNA cover.

Found both in my recent work pile.

Part of our toy collection. This pair is not identical, but close. It's a 3-D pair!

1st, open the image in full-screen; it won't work if cropped. It can help to be a little further from your screen than usual.

Relax your eyes and let the two sides come together. It will look like there are 3 pictures instead of two. When they're matched up right, the middle will appear to be 3-D!

Enjoy!

Here's a slightly sun-faded bio of silent-film star Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin's first film with sound was "The Great Dictator," a hilarious & damning satire of Hitler & fascism in WWII-era Europe. Fire up your 4/20 Saturday a enjoy a 'little tramp" film festival!

It's Caturday, but I'm feeling contrarian & I've had a lot of dog books lately – so, here are 4 featured items: funny, serious, & terrifying (for the spooky season)... & a cute photo of 2 cats (to earn the hashtag). Stop in for other pet books & much, much more!

Few people epitomize haunting season as does Vincent Price. His career spanned 6 decades and included much more than creepshows. Mysteries, classics, comedy, art, cooking, and more are among his books, audio recordings, radio shows, plays, dozens of TV appearances, voice work for animation and music videos, and more movies than I can list, here. Enjoy the discovery!

I was planning to stay away from comics for a bit, but... this Strange Tales 126 accidentally got 2 covers when made. Note the ripped upper left corner. That's only the outside cover! The inside cover is just dandy. Stop in to see it and more! Also, this issue contains the first appearances of Dormammu and Clea!

8/1/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

7/22/23 Open 5-9p tonight!

If you didn't get your fill at Gem City Comic Con, swing by Bonnetts Books – the World's Oldest Comic Shop, just a few walkable blocks East on 5th St.

Last night, I was supposed to meet with friends to pre-game the con. The meeting site shut down earlier than expected and I didn't make it. Luckily, a few of the gang brought the party to me! Thanks!

"Batman: The Cult" trade paperback first edition, found in one of my to-do boxes Saturday evening by a customer who wisely elected not to carry it around all night. The Dark Knight approves making those tough calls.
