G.I. Combat #217

I found a used Canon LiDE 20 scanner with program disc at a local thrift store for five dollars this morning and snatched it up to replace my bulky UMAX Astra 2000U scanner. The best part was that it worked so my first scan was the cover of G.I. Combat #217 (Dec/Jan 1979/1980). The cover artist was Joe Kubert and the dollar comic has a total of six stories. The first story features the Haunted Tank in "The General Died Twice!" Next comes O.S.S. in "The Pigeon Spies", a one-page article about the signal corps titled "Getting The Message Through" and then the Hidden War featured in "A Fine Day For A Hanging". The Haunted Tank returns in another story title "Save The Enemy!" That is followed by "The 3000-Mile Nightmare", a sizzling sky-war special. Finally, the Haunted Tank returns for "Don't Sell Your Dog Tags Cheap".

My issue has seen better days since it is dog eared and very worn. The covers are about to separate from the rest of the comic book but at least all the pages are intact. I also have G.I. Combat #219, 220, 228 and 235.

Shameless Plug

Yesterday, I created a new site showcasing some spooky goodies from Amazon at Horror Gifts. Check it out if you looking for an early start to Halloween.

Women Wednesday: Adrianne Palicki In Wonder Woman Shorts

The Wonder Woman costume that everyone had been waiting to see Adrianne Palicki wear was released a few days ago:

To be honest, I like the blue pant version better.

Cherry Dr Pepper Loki Can

I picked up a case of Cherry Dr Pepper this morning at the local Super Wally-World and all the cans have Loki on them. The store was completely out of the regular and diet Dr Pepper. They only had two cases each of Cherry and Diet Cherry. The blurb on the can reads "Loki, the trickster. A master of manipulation, his ambition is to be feared!"

Women Wednesday: Barry Allen's Mom

From Flashpoint #1 (July 2011), Barry Allen aka the Flash hugs his mom shortly after he wakes up in a world where she is still alive. Call this a belated post for Mother's Day.

Smallville Finale Reminder

Tonight is the two hour finale for Smallville and I will be watching.

No Wonder Woman For NBC

Kind of a bummer that NBC dumps Wonder Woman without even airing the pilot featuring Adrianne Palicki. Hopefully, this means that someone will give the Amazon Princess a shot at the silver screen instead.

Goodnight Human Target

I am a little bummed about FOX cancels Human Target after two seasons since I really enjoyed the series with Mark Valley as Christopher Chance.

Superhero Collection At Mafia Wars

The Superhero Collection at Mafia Wars, a Facebook game, features seven comic books that can only be received from red and blue mystery bags. I have not received any yet in my collection but the characters include Arachnid-Man (Awesome Fantasy), Squirrel Man (Sleuth Comics), Superbman (Superb Comics), Freak Squad, Blue Beacon (United States Comics), General USA and Terrific Titan.

You can clearly see that Sleuth Comics and United States Comics are featured on the Blue Mystery Bag icon.

More Green Hornet Goodies At Superhero City

I was playing Superhero City while I was on Facebook again last night and found a few more goodies including Black Beauty Barrage (Limited Time Mission), Stop Chudofsky (Limited Time Mission) and Lights Out Sucker (Free Limited Edition Ability).

Goofy The Viking Action Figure

I found this four inch tall Goofy the Viking action figure at a local thrift store years ago for fifty cents. Thanks to Google, I learned that Epcot Center released it in 1990.

Sidekick Swoop is the free limited edition ability featuring Kato (I would love to have the actual trading card):

Dr Pepper Thor Bottle

I bought a Dr Pepper bottle with Thor on it last Friday at an out of town convenience store while on a road trip. It pretty much looks like the Dr Pepper Thor can but without the text. I am not keeping the bottle due to storage reasons but I did manage to get the label off without too much damage.

Diet Dr Pepper Sif Can

I bought a case of Diet Dr Pepper yesterday at the local Super Wally-World and it was filled with Sif cans. The blurb reads "Sif, one of the fiercest fighters in all of Asgard! Her proficiency with a sword is unmatched." I like the Sif can much better than the Thor can since she really pops out of the white background.
