I was happy when I woke up today and discovered this link for the Sin City footage from ComicCon, because nothing goes better with your morning coffee than watching Clive Owen (sigh) threatening someone with a razor blade. I wonder if the completed movie will have comic book panels incorporated into the live action the way this footage did. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never read Sin City, does someone out there whose read it have any recommendations for which volume to start with?
I’ve blogged before about how much I liked Amethyst Princess of Gemworld when I was a kid. Unfortunately when the first series was coming out I was 8 or 9 years old and I didn’t really spend a whole lot of my allowance on comic books. So my memories of reading the comic are based mostly on the issues that I’d find at my local public library (and read every time I visited) and the few issues of the second series that I collected. But I just got the first 12 issue series and the second 16 issue series on Ebay super cheap! You can recapture your childhood through the magic of Internet auctions and Paypal!!!!

Yay on your great find–that’s awesome!
I’ve found some great buys on Ebay for comics. The ones I collect are the old romance comics like True Love. It’s the only place you can find them now since they’ve been out of print for years and years.
PS–I moved my blog and can be found at lilretrogirl.blogspot.com

Or, in my case, recapture the childhood you didn’t have. My parents wouldn’t buy me a pack of Garbage Pail Kids no matter how much I begged.
And now I see why.

I think old romance comics would be hard to find except on ebay– the average comic store probably wouldn’t have many in its back issue bin. Thanks for the heads-up about moving your blog, Retro Girl!
Garbage Pail kids… I don’t think I ever had a pack either, just a few random ones.
