Eight years ago today, due mostly to circumstances beyond my control, I retired. Having survived cancer and recovered from persistent afib, thanks to smart doctors I’m a new man!
Trump was president eight years ago, and he’s president again. Not good. Despite all of the chaos that Boy Wonder Musk has been causing within the IRS, I was reassured this morning when seeing my updated status on Where’s My Refund?
Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by April 02, 2025.
The Kirby Museum’s first publishing project is here and I’m impressed. My copy of Sky Masters of the Space Force: The Complete Sunday Strips in Color came with a print and t-shirt.
Copies of the book should become available in comics shops. Publication was crowd-funded on ZOOP, with much of the interest coming from Wally Wood’s ink finishes over Jack Kirby’s pencils. Wood’s run on the comic strip was actually somewhat sporadic, until he eventually dropped out altogether.
Woody never stuck with any one thing for very long, especially after Bill Gaines limited EC to publishing MAD and nothing else. But the work Wally did on Sky Masters is outstanding and wouldn’t be equaled until Joe Sinnott’s run inking Kirby on the Fantastic Four.
(Note to mih: I will have the book with me when visiting in May.)
My hearing isn’t as acute as Daredevil’s, but it’s good enough to appreciate my buddy Bismo’s Klipsch surround sound setup.
This selection comes from offerings on Nostalgic Investments.

A masterful job of ink rendering by Jack Davis, from the waning days of EC.
