News reports over the weekend made the incident sound like a worst-case scenario for modern life: a self-absorbed art fan reaching for the perfect selfie shatters a work of art valued at close to $800,000.
Be kind to those pumpkins, folks... I want to see them in October!
Rob's Room: CNS Passport Travel Posters
Every now and then, I come across a collectible I forgot I owned that I think is fun. Found this behind my office couch. I think it's circa 2006-ish. They are Cartoon Network travel posters that measure (approximately) 16" x 20" and are encapsulated within a large Passport envelope.
Wanted TPB: The Crimson Dawn Saga
Artist: Various
Publisher: DC Comics (1996-97)
Includes: Uncanny X-Men #328-330, X-Men Unlimited #12-13, X-Men #61, Psylocke and Archangel Crimson Dawn #1-4
Clipped and edited from On-line: The Crimson Dawn is a mystical substance found in the the Marvel Universe. Its first appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #330. It is most closely associated with the X-Men's Psylocke, though it has been connected to Juggernaut, Captain Britain and the villain Spiral.
Wanted Poster: The infamous "Giffen Legion Poster"
In the issue of The Jack Kirby Collector #29 (August 2000) Giffen said,
"What happened was I did this Legion poster, characters all over the place. And in drawing that Legion poster I totally burned myself out on the book. After the poster I just had to walk away."
Dork Note: It would be nice if DC reprinted this poster!

Wanted TPB: Nocturne
Writer: Dan Abnett Artist: Jose Fonteriz
Publisher: Marvel Comics (1995)
Includes: Nocturne #1-4
This mini-series was suppose to update and introduce the Night Raven mythos found in the Marvel UK books to an American audience...it failed! So where did it go wrong...in my opinion? That damn PURPLE! high tech, what the fuck, superhero suit killed this reboot. KILLED IT! I SAY! Pick up the mini on Ebay and see what I mean.
BIG NOTE from the Dork: I think Marvel should release a collection of Night Raven's adventures from the various Marvel UK titles as well.
