POSTOBERFEST 2006 - Lest We All Forget...
"It's The Reason For The Season" Dept. :
My buddy Gary's a writer for RUE MORGUE magazine and he covers their comics reviews. He and his little boy Finlay came into the store in his Spider-Man Halloween costume about two Saturdays ago, but Finn was feeling too shy to put his mask on til I asked him how the eye holes in his mask worked. That got his interest and then he wanted to show me. I taught him the web-slinging gesture (later to come into great handyness should he ever be a Heavy Metal fan, and need to rock out...). His Dad was johnny-on-the-spot with the camera...
My godson Liam, on the other hand, is a HUGE Spider-Man fan and used to walk up to people, strike a dramatic web-slinging pose and announce that he was gonna "poke you with his powers!", but he also grooves on Franklin Richards and the Fantastic Four, Green Lantern, and The Flash. He'll be glad to know I mentioned him here, probably. Maybe not when he's about 12 or so, but I'll deal with that when the time comes (his sister is laughing at that - hard, and right now).
Coming Soon:
I loves Me the Swamp-Monsters
