She knows what she wants...

Ah, those Kryptonian... toys. Do I even want to ask about the helmet?

Alternate headers "I wonder how many D batteries it takes?" and "Supergirl's Silver Age Sex Toys!" but if I have to be that obvious then I may as well give up.

Thanks to Cryptleak for another of these sordid Silver Age snaps.

Man, Dr. Wertham would have a field day if he were carrying out his anti-comics crusade today.

Gotta love stuff taken out of contents, like Rush Limbaugh did with all of those Democratic sound bites he's been playing lately, where Dems sound like they supported the war before the war began.

Most of the Dems have been in spineless mode through most of the Bush presidency, so I can hardly blame the other side for pulling up those bytes and votes in the counter-attack. I don't let people forget that Dubya campaigned on the idea that the U.S. stepping in and imposing its values on foreign nations is wrong.

The key thing here (for me, at least) is the issue of how directed by and tailored-to-fit the White House agenda the intelligence was. Claims that this is a settled, dead issue don't ring true to me. If at a seeming time of crisis Congress looked at what was presented to them as "the facts" and fell in behind the president as a unified nation under siege, I'm not going to damn them too strongly for being duped.

This administration's made one power grab after another against a backdrop of fear, declaring opponents to be unpatriotic, ill-timed opportunists. Hopefully enough people are waking up to how much of a formula this is, and that this "war on terror" is never meant to end. Its primary, political aim is to perpetually make this "the wrong time" for dissent while this administration pushes through as many of the aims of its supporters as possible, from the Religious Right to the oil industry and corporate interests.

Supergirl's had her randy moments, no doubt... her romantic history with Comet the Super Horse is enough to make anyone's eyebrows waggle, just for one. But the real dirt lies in the pages of SUPERMAN'S PAL, JIMMY OLSON, where not only do we see Jimmy crossdressing to infiltrate the mob at the slightest excuse, but we are also regaled with endless occasions on which Superman plies Jimmy with exotic alien jewels and various other powerful and valuable gewgaws, including, of course, a Superman Signal Watch that guarantees ol' Supes will be at Jimmy's beck and call for the remainder of eternity.

I mean, honestly, what exactly does the phrase "Superman's Pal" really mean?

If you doubt me on the Supergirl/Comet thing, see http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/docnebula/suprhrse.htm . Swear to God, I couldn't make this stuff up.

At eBay! Just a note that Tony Collett has a an assortment of toys, action figures, comics and games coming down to their final minutes on ebay . (Sorry for forgetting to note this earlier, Tony. It seemed as if they'd just gone up and here we are near the end.) Also, Mike Leuszler's ebay store has an interesting mix of games, comics, prints, etc. I'll finally be putting some more items (probably only clix) up within the next day or two. Last week's power outage threw my schedule far off, and there were some complications due to me selling something large for someone else.

Bids & Pieces Email from eBay this morning informs me of price increases that will be going into effect starting midnight, February 18th. They currently hit sellers up for 5.25% of the closing value on items that sell between $.01 and $25, plus 3.75% for the portion between $25.01 and $1,000. The new rate will be a hefty jump to 8% on that base amount and a near doubling of the next level to 5%. There are other changes, but that’s the core set of changes I’m concerned with. This may be the extra fire I needed under me to get that long-overdue new round of auctions up and running soon. Heroclix items will be the focus, but I might also put up comics for the first time in several years, and perhaps some other things. Making the selections, doing some set-up between now and the 21st, and running a wall of auctions starting either that night or on the 22nd -- that's the loose plan. Updates and general self-promotion will increase as the kick-off date approaches and ...

Omni addition this week: Thor by Jason Aaron vol 2

      As I've mentioned various times (and will many times again), part of a selective rebuild of my comics collection in large-format hardcovers, with a particular eye on the horizon of that life-transition clumsily called "retirement", has primarily been Omnibus editions.        Perhaps foolishly I've mostly been just accumulating them rather than digging straight in, as I'm looking forward to days when my time will rarely be beholden to anyone I don't in some way love, and I can try to discover if I'm capable of recapturing some version of those long-ago years when I had the time to get lost in this sort of thing when and as long as I wished.       There's a whole other quality of life, and the building of a life I want to live discussion I need to have with myself that relates to the timing of all this, but today's blog entry ain't for that.       This week's sole new addition to the physical library is ...
