Wanted to bump up this thread. I spent some of my afternoon finally sorted all the books I had around the house in order to put them all in their proper boxes. A few years ago I alphabetically arranged all my boxes. I finished step one. My son related a conversation he had with a friend in college:
"My dad collects comic books."
"Really? So does mine."
<Pause>
"The white boxes?"
"Yeah... the white boxes..."

... I had no idea what this was when I saw it up for sale, but I later learned it was a small press sci-fi title that got one issue, but it has Johnny Craig art. ... I had to check this... according to the GCD, the guy behind this is Jim Craig.

I like Betty's Laurel Kent outfit.
Is that second excerpt by Gene Colan?

I finished reading the three-part Blake & Mortimer adventure The Secret of the Swordfish last night... This was an enjoyable extended adventure, which sees a sinister far eastern empire conquering the world and, of course, Professor Philip Mortimer and his dashing companion Captain Francis Blake have a significant hand in overthrowing the "Yellow Peril" menace and saving the world. The story is clearly heavily influenced by the events of the then-still recent Second World War and the Cold War – which isn't really so surprising, as the story was written in the early 1950s. ... I gotta say, going through the whole series the past couple of years was probably the most enjoyable comic-reading experience I've had in a while. Still looking for something as consistently entertaining and well-done.
