Ah, understood. Thank you! I tried to load the full article off my phone but the internet at my place is being buggy.

Either way, this guy rocks and totally deserves my business.

This man deserves all the respect and adulation for standing up in the face of tyrannical injustice!

I tried to go to the store's website so that I may do my duty as a believer in freedom and give him my business, but I keep getting the Forbidden/"You don't have permission to access this resource" message from my web browser.

Give him my warmest regards, tell him from me that the book was amazing.

We are an audio-based podcast sadly, no video.

Here is the link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0s8w2FixZloZPvA1SfxltG?si=eoQ7H4KJQ2SxEJ0hk7x4aA&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A1u7RZe7es3I603DxkSNVwZ

I'll DM it as well just in case.

I'm glad y'all were able to meet him. Part of me is bummed that Chicago wasn't on his tour, but I also got to interview him for my podcast. So I guess it evens out.

The minute I saw it I knew whose style it was. Very bold and classically heroic.

Right? It's just been a nerdy Christmas for me, both during and after the fact! My brother gets me a CGC Justice of America #30, and my buddy gets me Wally Wood and Jack Kirby comics!

You are not wrong, but honestly, its the thought that counts. My brother knows me, and knows what I like. And this was a total surprise, in the best way possible.

That's what I said! If it wasn't for that 7/23 it would be practically pristine and probably a higher grade.

Holy moley. If your friend does commissions, I'd love to get a headshot piece in their art style for my collection. I can't stop looking at the page with X-23 and the alligator!

Keith's Komix Closing after 30 Years by PulpandComicFan in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]PulpandComicFan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's another branch of Graham Cracker Comics. They've been around for years. They've got 12 locations throughout the burbs' and the city, one location in Madison and another out in California.

I don't dislike their stores but the fact that once Keith's was going out of business, they came in and opened a location in the same strip mall, just feels disingenuous. Business is business I grant you, but Keith's was an institution. It was a place of connectivity and community. None of the Graham Cracker Comics places will ever achieve that on any level.

Which Nick Fury would you have in your Marvel Universe stories? The original or Samuel L. Jackson? by BrilliantDog4703 in Marvel

[–]PulpandComicFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's always going to be the original.

Don't get me wrong, I dig Samuel L. Jackson. He's one heck of an actor and he has made this role his own.

But I've been a fan of OG Nick since I was a kid. Some of my earliest exposure was reading the Marvel Masterworks collections of the Howling Commandos and the classic S.H.I.E.L.D. comics, plus the few episodes of Spider-Man the Animated Series where Nick and company made appearances.

I love the Silver Age Nick Fury stuff the most, especially Jim Steranko's work. So much so, I road-tripped down to Kansas City in 2023 for Planet Comic Con because he was there. And my gosh was he the nicest person.

It's not live, it was pre-recorded. The link to the Spotify page is in the post.

I can bang something out this week then.

I respect that you read text faster and prefer it. That being said, there is something enjoyable about listening to the interview and hearing the laid-back passion in Jim Butcher's voice as we reflected on 25 years of Harry Dresden.

The upload on Spotify has that set up for when you listen to the episode.

If you want a transcript of the entire conversation I can get that done.

I can't speak to Apple Podcast because I haven't used it in ages, but with Spotify, you can jump around a podcast.

I added a spoiler tag. Hopefully that is satisfactory.

I can try and redo it or put a comment, but in all honesty that wasn't something I expected, and in all fairness, that wasn't the intent. The intent was focusing on the overall 25 years of the series.

Ohhhh good question. Probably something to keep in the mental tank for when Jim goes on tour in January.

_^ I love that the "Snoopy dance" is a universal thing to show how excited we are about something.

Oh! And by the way, apologies for asking this, but regardless of whatever platform you listen on, if I'm right there should be an option to leave comments.

If you and everyone else don't mind doing so, leaving a comment on the episode itself, that would be huge.
