Fantastic Four #319 by Steve Englehart, Keith Pollard and Joe Sinnott
This comic was part of the generous handful of comics I read as a kid before going headlong into the habit in 1991, and almost certainly the first actual Fantastic Four comic I read. I got it at a Winn-Dixie in New Albany, IN, but whether it was the one on State Street or the one on Grant Line Road I’m less sure.
I still have the same copy, must’ve read it two dozen times, and it shows. It’s why I have such a soft spot for Molecule Man and Volcana. I mean, the FF is fine, whatever, but those two really grabbed me.
PS it is terrible don’t read it
I keep this at my desk as a reminder of cool shit I’ve done. Now it reminds me of how lucky I was to even brush up against a great man’s life in art. It only occurs to me just now that one of the main things I wrote in it was about bullshit dopes who quotewhore in their movie reviews. There’s a pretty fair shot he might have gotten a kick out of that, and a writer couldn’t ask for more of an accomplishment than that.
A ridiculous honor. Thanks, Roger.
In honor of tonight’s Justified season finale, here’s a little something to celebrate.
And no dude like my dude Benjamin Birdie.
Pam is my favorite.
So happy right now.
Hey, Vern!

CUP O’ COFFEE IN THE BIG TIME
So, I’m sitting in the unemployment office with no sketchpad. Another phone drawing, as suggested by Mark Hale. (ChaosMonkey.tumblr.com)
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever been involved in. Sorry, Fake AP Stylebook.

Listen, uh… I don’t wanna alarm anyone, but… we’re looking at the greatest thing that’s ever happened, here.
Still selling some comics!
Here’s a link to a post I made a tiny bit ago flogging some comics so I can get some new glasses and maybe get some old bills out of the way. If you’d take a(nother) look that’d be great! (I’m also willing to negotiate a bit on the pricier items, if something in particular really catches your fancy.)
Thanks!
I’m selling some comics to buy some glasses!
Hi, Tumblrites/Twitteroids!
Hi, I’m Mark. As you may know, I’m kinda broke these days. It’s not the WORST thing in the world; my wife and I have a place to live, food to eat, clothes on our backs, health insurance, and have found new homes for our cats. Outside of that stuff, however, there are still a few scrapes and skins-of-our-teeth things going on, like paying off small debts like overdue bills and getting myself new glasses and sunglasses. I’m visually impaired/near legally blind and in a tough spot as far as finding work goes, so new glasses are fairly vital to me. It’s in that spirit that i’d like to cut the sob stuff and sell you some of my wonderful comics!
What I’m selling are comics I bought off the rack as the came out. For YEARS, some fating back to 1998 or so. They’re all in great shape, most read once then filed away like a good little packrat does.
What I’m selling them for is about a buck a book, SHIPPING INCLUDED. That means if I’ve got, say, Kurt Busiek’s run on THE AVENGERS which totals 62 books, that’s $60 flat, shipped to you via Priority Mail. Smaller bunches, like 12 issues or so, will most likely be shipped plain ol’ mail. Like I say, I’m not trying to make a mint here, I just want to free up some room and get my new glasses.
