Happy 92nd Birthday To Stan Lee

Since today is Stan Lee's 92nd birthday, I thought I would post a picture of him holding a copy of the 75 Years of Marvel Comics: From the Golden Age to the Silver Screen hardcover book by Roy Thomas and Josh Baker:

Thrift Store Find: The Incredible Hulk Video Novel

I found a copy of The Incredible Hulk: A Video Novel from 1979 at a local thrift store yesterday for fifty cents. The book has actual color pictures from the pilot episode of the tv series starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. The Kenneth Johnson screenplay was edited and adapted by Roy Thomas.

I really wish that particular thrift store would go back to using the mall round price stickers instead of putting tape on the long price tag. At least, they did not put it on the front cover.

Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #18

Jackson Guice did the cover and interior pencils of Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #18 (June 1990) for Marvel Comics that features Stephen minus the eye patch protecting Morgana Blessing and Baron Blood aka Victor Strange (yes, he's the sorcerer's brother) against Varnae. "Blood is Thicker..." was written by Roy and Dann Thomas, inked by Tony DeZuniga, colored by Christie Scheele and lettered by Janice Chiang. Brother Voodoo and Morbius the living vampire also appear to help Doctor Strange stop Marie Laveau from summoning the first lord of vampires. This issue is the conclusion to the five part saga titled The Vampiric Verses.
