The latest:
Looking for a little help with a couple of upcoming issues of ALTER EGO. AE #189, which I'm finishing putting together by the end of this month, is dedicated to John Romita, while #192 (six months later) features Mark Carlson-Ghost's article on the pre-Silver Age super-hero revival of the 1950s. I seem to have a source (Thanks, Doc V.!) for most of the Romita-related material for these two issues, but need copies of the following which Michael J. can't supply... and I can't make satisfactory photocopies from my bound volumes.
The pages I need for AE #189 (and, if one or two get left over, they'll definitely be in #192) are the following:
YOUNG MEN #28 - Captain America, p. 1
CAPTAIN AMERICA #76 - the 3 Cap splashes
As usual, I want to emphasize that I do not want copies made from any reprint book, such as the MARVEL MASTERWORKS volumes. I have those and could make copies from them myself. The need is for copies from the original 1954 comics.
Thanks for listening,
Roy
PS. Should've mentioned--could use any number of pre-1966 Romita scans from Marvel in particular. He did horror, WESTERN KID... any romance?

Most listened to songs of 2023 # 16 - Mama Tried - Merle Haggard
It's become increasingly obvious as the years go on that Merle Haggard is at the top of my pantheon of musicians. And this is, by most reasonable assessments his magnum opus. While not literally biographical it is an incredibly personal song for Hag, whose father died when he was young and who made his mother's life miserable, culminating in a stint in San Quentin for robbery. This is simply two minutes and thirteen seconds of country perfection, with its poignant lyrics punctuated by Roy Nichols electric guitar. "Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried" I usually sing this one on Mother's Day weekend in one or both of the weekly Zoom song circles we participate in.

Just found out that Los Lobos is touring with Los Lonely Boys and they will be at the semi-local Indian casino. I’ll be buying the first concert tickets of 2024 when they go on sale Friday. If you're up for a longer trek, your main man Jason Isbell will be in Redmond, OR (near Bend) in July, as part of a festival that includes a lot of other good musicians: www.fairwellfestival.com/

I just have time for a quick note as I wait for Thai takeout.
Happy St. David's Day!

Do they still censor the name of Madeline Kahn's character? You can see it spelled out on a poster in one scene but when they say it, all you'd hear is "Lili von Sht-" If they did, I don't really remember paying attention to it Probably because you don't speak much Yiddish, so "shtupp" didn't mean anything to you.

And the fact that the "beans and coffee" scene is still censored on tv airings never fails to make me laugh Do they still censor the name of Madeline Kahn's character? You can see it spelled out on a poster in one scene but when they say it, all you'd hear is "Lili von Sht-"

Kenneth Smith put out four issues of Phantasmagoria. I have #1 and #4, and hope to acquire #2 and #3. I know nothing about him but his work is great.
