#TopShelfFriday!

In honor of turkey day, another fellow of a feather…

“Red sky at night, sailors' delight.
Red sky at morning, sailors take warning…”

This beautiful morning sky felt rather ominous as in the distance, there was the low mechanical grinding and growling, unseen machines preparing for road work.

Looked up as I was walking I into the house and saw this little fellow. He reminded me to take some time and heal.

I meant to post this last week for Halloween but lost track of days!

I finally found a decent copy of “Hooky” by Putney and Wrightson. Read it for Halloween; it was fun time.
Cover to the graphic novel “The Amazing Spider-Man: Hooky” by Susan Putney and Berni Wrightson. Spider-Man is in the grip of an unusual flowing monster with many mouths.

Closed off Halloween / Soul’s weekend with this enjoyable graphic novel by the delightful @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social

Recommend this for young readers and young-at-heart readers. It would make a fun animated movie. (Just saying)
Cover to the supernatural graphic novel, DC’s Misfits of Magic by Matthew Dow Smith. In a library, books flap above a monster’s shadow as they head to supernatural investigator Ricci in her trenchcoat in front of her team, June (Enchantress), Danny (Blue Devil), and Boston (Deadkid).

From “Padaria Milano” in Fatima, Portugal.

The crispy kronch after a 10 min bake was *chef’s kiss*

It’s the right ratio of thin phyllo pastry to custard. I’m biased that this is by my cousin, but they really are some of the best pasteis.

Love this cover and issue a lot.
Cover to Moon Knight issue 24. Moon Knight in his white cloak against an all red background, with the villainess in red dress that blends into the background.

Had a visitor today at lunchtime.

Had to move the cat out of the way at the beginning so he wouldn’t spook the bear.

Despite collecting Hellboy from the beginning, I had actually missed this issue when it first showed up on the stands. Picked it up a couple of years ago and happy to have it in the collection.

What better way to kick off October’s scary season?
Cover to NextMen issue 21 Two characters in the foreground wading through knee high water in ruins, while Hellboy, appears from the shadows behind them. Panel from the interior First appearance of Hellboy, as he leaps from the shadows at a youth (from the cover). Hellboy is in shadow, save for red accents of his arms and sawed off horns, his eyes, and open mouth. Text balloons: Hellboy: KIDS! HOLY SPIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? RUN! RUN, GET AWAY!! Teen: ?!!? Hellboy!!

Dear Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

As a homeowner and taxpayer, it is beyond appalling and unnerving to see this fascist propaganda plastered on the HUD page.

hud.gov
Screenshot of the current pop up on the home page of HUD, Housing and Urban Development page. “The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.” Screenshot of sunset over a cookie cutter suburban cup-de-sac. With the fascist quote below it: "God blessed us with this great nation, and together, we can increase self-sufficiency and empower Americans to climb the economic ladder toward a brighter future." - Secretary Scott Turner, White Supremacist

#TopShelfFriday time 🎉

What's a comic in your collection that you think deserves to be on that top shelf? Whether its a key, rare, or just one you love❤️

Keeping with Vin’s theme, George Pérez covering Marvel Fanfare with the first of 4 part Black Widow solo adventure.

Quote post with your own very dramatic (or otherwise) black and white selfie.

*apparently I don’t take dramatic selfies. Always a goofy grin or smirk.
