Comic Haul week of March 3rd, 2026
New comics!
The Amazing Spider-Man #23
DC K.O. #5 - surprised how good this crossover is for just being a fighting tournament
Poison Ivy #42
Harley Quinn #1 - this is THE number 1! The original number 1! Very excited to have this in my collection. I think I’ve caught the bug of buying collectable books but still only books I can read and not something locked in a shell (I can lock it up myself later). He mentioned it’s easy to tell the era of comic books you’re looking at when you look at the price, these handful span 35 cents to a dollar.
I was on my way to the juggalo rave and decided I needed a cheesesteak. I don’t get the opportunity often so I must take every chance I can get. The next day on my way to a nerd’s house in south Philly I got another cheesesteak, life is like that sometimes. Having Philip’s and Oregon Steaks back to back made it obvious that Oregon is my favorite, but Philip’s has that easy parking…
I’m starting the Cannon Ball Run next week and will be starting it with very-philly food within me. If all goes to plan, I’ll have TWO cheeseburgers during the trip.

Happy thanksgiving! My comic book store is moving to a temporary space in a antique mall, the old building is getting demolished. Future is uncertain for Old Bill but he refuses to die!
I try not to double post here what I'm already covering on other socials, you may have seen the turkey video already. That day, a friend brought over his family's signature sauce, or chutney, or something, called sambal. I'm not sure, but it's reddish pink and it seems to be mostly caramelized onions and peppers. It's really good! Speaking of cross posting, my Fantasy Football team is "regional sandwiches", inspired by my own blog. Often I update my football profile picture with a new regional sandwich, and I'm choosing to count these sambal hotdogs. I think I'll google that word tonight and see what that's all about. His family is Australian? Not sure if that will play a role in sambal's history.
These are #44 and #45 for my July 4th to July 4th hotdog counting experiment
