Light entertainment

Not much news at the moment, just getting older...
I am however enjoying reading Edgar Rice Burrough's John Carter of Mars series!

And I'm also enjoying watching the new Battlestar Galactica TV series! But where's Daggit??

Tarzan!



I've seen heaps of Tarzan films and read a few comics with Tarzan in it (Superman as Tarzan - what the?!), but never actually read the original source material, so having just read it, it was a good boys-own adventure yarn! It could of course be criticised for being a bit simple, racist and sexist, but I had fun reading it, so Ah Ahhhhhhhh Ah Ahhhhhhhhhhh to you!

Wife + queue for comic signing = happy marriage!?!

Last Saturday there were two singings in London, one at 12pm with the current Transformer writer, artist and editor (an Englishman, and Irishman and an American), and then another signing down the road at 1pm by current "hot writer", Mark Millar. However, I wanted to be in the queue for the Mark Millar signing at 12pm, so as to get a good spot close to the front of the queue. How could I be in two places at the same time? Would I have to give up the Transformers signing, a comic/toy/movie franchise I've been following for 20 years for the current Marvel superstar Mr Millar?? Luckily, I remembered that I was married, and one of our wedding vows was "do you agree to stand in a queue of comic nerds for an hour while your nerd of a husband attends another comic signing". I bet she wishes she didn't say "I do" to that one now! Anyway, got heaps of stuff signed, so I'm one happy little comic nerd.
P.S. It now seems that I'm in debt to my wife and I have to go to Salsa dance lessons. What the?!?
P.P.S. If you want to see me in full nerd action, go here: Nerds!
(The third photo shows my head and the fifth photo shows my comic getting signed, as well as my wedding hand!)
