Comics Unlimited News and Info

I put up a video on YouTube that features the Beatles and their Christmas message recordings for their fan club (with some added bonus audio treasures). Like the videos I produced and edited with Stan Lee and the Marvel fan club recordings, I put visuals to the sound recordings. The sound recordings are also edited, basically featuring the music portions of the messages. And here 'tis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6pDQ1wNTqM#GU5U2spHI_4 I hope you'll enjoy! Merry Christmas, Happy Crimble, and have a wonderful New Year!

Hi gang! It's been awhile since I last put up some comics on eBay, but I just added some today. It's a mix of old and new comics! Take a look and bid, if you like: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcomicsunlimitedQQhtZ-1QQfrppZ50QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQrdZ0 As always, local bidders in the Evansville area who win the auction bid can pay and pick up the items at the shop, saving on shipping costs. Thanks and I hope to C-U at C.U.! -- Matt

Late last month, Dave Cockrum, creator of Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler, passed away. Now, sadly, another wonderful person and artist has left us, Martin Nodell. He was 91 years-old. Martin Nodell created Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, and designed the Pillsbury Doughboy. I have attended the Wizardworld Comic Convention for every year but one since 2001, and I always made it a point to visit Martin Nodell's stand at the show. He was a sweet man who was very kind and appreciative of his fans. I enjoyed several conversations with him, and his late wife, Carrie, an equally lovely person. I was lucky enough to have also seen him in Saint Louis one year. Martin was one of the people responsible for the business and entertainment I love so much. It was his work, along with others, that helped lay the foundations for the comic book industry. He was an elder statesman of comic books that I looked forward to visiting. Rest in peace, Martin. You are missed. -- Matt
