I don't want to end up like Bonnie & Clyde ... oh ohhh ohh, ohh ohh ohh, Seattelite.
Welp, you convinced me. I'm honoring the offer, since they offered their honor, and as of January 28, Calamity Jon will officially be a Seattleite1

Hooray! Now I have a million things to do, as opposed to the mere ten thousand I had to do before this. Chief among these things is divesting myself of troublesome possessions, so it's once again one of those darn days when I sell off a bunch of my old comic books and trade paperbacks! Hooray!

Here is how the selling of these things works: Either holler in comments of drop me an email at Jon@Ape-Law.com (which is also my Paypal address) to claim a book or books. Add $2 for the first five dollars worth of stuff, $1 for every five bucks' worth afterward, they'll be sent media mail so I can do it a tetch on the cheap.

Here is what I'm selling:

DC Archives:
The Seven Soldiers of Victory Vol 1 $20.
The Shazam Archives Vol 1 $20.

DC Essential Showcase Presents ...
Superman vol.1-3 $5 each
Superman Family vol.1 $5
Metamorpho vol.1 $5
Shazam vol.1 $5

Trade paperbacks:
Army @ Love vol 1 $5
The Superman Chronicles vol.1-3 $5 ea.
Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser $5 (Mignola art, great book, I almost hate to lose it but I've read the heck out of it)
Tales of the Bizarro World $5
Jimmy Olsen Adventures by Jack Kirby vol1-2 $5 ea
Superman:Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow $5

Comics:
Mary Marvel Fanzine #1-3 $2.50 ea (Great zine-sized, full-color reproductions of original Mary Marvel comics from the forties. Hella fun read, lots of girly extras like Mary Marvel fashions, which I enjoy)
The Seven Soldiers: Issues 0, 1, plus JSA Classified 1-3: $5
The Seven Soldiers: Zatanna $4
The Seven Soldiers: The Manhattan Guardian $4
The Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein $4
The Seven Soldiers: Shining Knight $4
The Seven Soldiers: Klarion $4
The Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle $4
The Seven Soldiers: The Bulleteer $4
Batman 667-669 (The Club for Heroes storyline) $3
Seaguy 1-3 $3
Ambush Bug Nothing Special $2
Superman: The Phantom Zone 1-4 $5 (Early Eighties Superman miniseries, and honestly what I, as a student and fan of Superman, consider to be one of the 100 best Superman stories. The Kryptonian villains trap Superman in the Zone while they escape to destroy the Earth, leaving a powerless Man of Steel to battle on the badlands of weird dimension. The ending is evidently rushed, but it's a very good Gerber/Colan book, and a great Superman story. Very dark, bleak and weird).

Other books:
Elektra Lives Again $20 (original run). Man, beautiful book, it's just so unwieldy.
Jeff Rovin's Encyclopedia of Super-Heroes $10 (Kevin Church! KEVIN CHUUUURCH!)
Alex Ross Mythology (hardcover) $25

There might be more items tomorrow, and over the next week or so. Holler if you want anything.






Also, I've counted about four-hundred illustrations and sketchbook pages which I'd rather not haul all the way to Washington with me. That includes this fairly recent and never-before-seen nekkid lady pinup piece (it's behind a cut tag, although it's probably safe for work - in my peculiar style, it's all nudity with no naughty parts showing. Yay me! It's like I've never seen boobies before):





I've also listed several sketchbook pages, the whole shmear of which look like this:

It is the height of conceit to list Jeremy after the naked ladies, like he's somehow a bigger seller. HISTORICALLY INACCURATE, is what I am...

More to come, surely. And thanks to everyone for your feedback on Seattle, it helped make up the minds around here, unmade as they were (as are the beds, but they're still unmade. Let me know if you can help with that).


1This means that I will look down right now and forever. What will help is if you look like you learned to dance from a series of still pictures.

To be fair, I didn't have all that much to do with making the future in the first place. I think it's some sort of Armenian craft.

This is very exciting.
Try to stay calm. You'll get everything done and you'll move and in a few months you'll say, "Wow, we've only been here a few months?! It feels like we've lived here a year!"

I just can't bring myself to give you any "congrats" since I'm very bitter and jealous that you get to live in one of my favorite places and I'm stuck here in the Midwest.

Good luck on the new job and good luck with the move!

I was too late to add my voice to the chorus below (arts community and non-Mexican food: tremendous!; weather: mostly depressing!), but I want to chime in just a little. I moved up here for grad school, and all of my colleagues and their spouses, every single last one of them, like living here. We've all come from other parts of the country, but we're all - ALL - happy about living in Seattle. I hope that you and your wife will be, too.

If you need anything - hell, even help moving (I'm serious as a heart attack about that - I like having an excuse to get away from the computer) - please feel free to let me know. (senorwomack@aol.com)

Good luck with the move, and congratulations!

Congrats, man! That is awesome, and I'm really glad you're goin' for it. I think you will like you some Seattle, and know this: YOU REALLY ARE COMING AT THE WORST TIME OF THE YEAR. You, officially, will have seen the worst Seattle can throw at you, and you will have punched it in the face!

Also, I can hook you up with IMAX passes, it's true! So if you want to see super big Batman Begins and NOT pay 10.95, I am here for you!

Or, you know...You could also see U2 3D, if you really wanted to.

I sort of wish all movies were in IMAX.

Like, I want to watch the Coen Brothers on IMAX.
