Meanwhile, at the Comic Blog Elite!

The Comic Book Listings Blog: Presents;

The Comic Blog Elite!

The Comic Book Listings Blog (CBLB) is a member of the "Comic Blog Elite", which is a directory of the Finest Comic Book Sites on the internet.

Matt Bergin (Owner of the Comic Blog Elite), has always been tireless in not only promoting the directory, but in promoting the comic blogs listed in his directory. And in deed I have seen membership Double in just the short time that CBLB has been a member.

Now Matt is entering into a new phase of blog promotions with CBE showcase pieces he will be running on PopCultureShock.com. Take a look at the first, of hopefully many, CBE showcase pieces, "Meanwhile, at the Comic Blog Elite!", here; "http://www.popcultureshock.com/comic-blog-elite/54500/".

This First Feature is an intro to what will come, and includes "mini-reviews" of today's Toplist Top 10.


Matt Bergin writes;

When I’m not reading, blogging about, or making my own comics, I try to do my part to bring the comic book community together by shining a spotlight on some of the overlooked or hard to find corners of the comics Internet.

The Comic Blog Elite toplist is one means to that end. Another means is going to be a new, recurring showcase for the CBE–right here in No Cure For Comics.

Has Boobs, Reads Comics, Needs Artist!

Has Boobs, Reads Comics: Calling all artists!



The Comic Book Listings Blog:

Has Boobs, Reads Comics, Needs Artist!

Between the hours of 12am and 5am, Jill Pantozzi, 26, is a DJ for the radio station WJLK (The Point). She grew up around Star Trek, Star Wars and Doctor Who and continues to love them even today. She's a fanatic for anything that involves girls kicking butt (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xena, La Femme Nikita, Alias, The Fifth Element), and she even has a tattoo from The Fifth Element though, she has not told me "where???". (But that's ok as she really doesn't know who i am anyway. And besides, it's not her tattoo i'm here to tell you about. In deed you had better read plum down to the bottom of this post as otherwise you might miss, a Grand event.)

At any rate, in an email i recieved the other day from Matt B. of the Comic Blog Elite, i learned that Jill has a problem. Disabled by Muscular Dystrophy, she is confined to a "scooter". But that's not her problem. In deed Jill turned her scooter into a Rolling Bill Board when she visited the New York comic con where she discovered, her true handicap. Jill writes;

"At the New York Comic Con this year I made a sign last minute to stick on my scooter to advertise the blog. It read "Has Boobs, Reads Comics TheNerdyBird.com" and it was completely lame. However it did get me a lot of attention, not to mention allow my internet buddies to spot me in the crowds (like the scooter is easy to miss). I've decided I want something better for San Diego Comic Con and I want YOUR help because frankly, I draw like an 8 year old."

Now folks, That's just plain Sad!
And talk about a "Bad Hair Day".
(Jill, if you're reading this, then girl, I'm Sorry!)

But not to worry as our fearless heroine
in true Xena - The Warrior Princess style, has devised a plan.

And better yet, A CONTEST!!!

Jill writes;

"I'd like for you to design me a sign I can put on my scooter at SDCC. Here are my requirements:
*Sign must read "Has Boobs, Reads Comics" (quotes included)

*Sign must read TheNerdyBird.com

*Sign must have the dimensions of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper

Pretty much everything else is open to interpretation. The sign can be horizontal or vertical. You can stick with just those two phrases and make them pop or you can add art/images along with it. Color designs are appreciated. Feel free to use any medium you like whether it's straight up art, comic art, photography, computer graphics, etc. You can draw an actual "Nerdy Bird" or a depiction of myself if you want, above all, BE CREATIVE!"

For Full details visit Jill's blog site here:
http://www.thenerdybird.com/2009/06/calling-all-artists.html


The deadline is July 3, 2009,
so you've got exactly one month to promote or participate.


Well there you have it folks.
Has Boobs, Reads Comics, Needs Artist!
A great opportunity to have Your Artwork displayed at the 2009 SDCC. So break out those art programs and Start Designing and Drawing!

(NOTE: I draw like Jill draws (worse), so you won't have to worry about any competition from me.)

Special Thanks to Matt B of the CBE for notifiying The Comic Book Listings Blog of The Nerdy Bird's contest in an email, of which, certain parts were used in this post.

Jill is an active member of the Muscular Dystrophy Association ( see also: http://www.thenerdybird.com/search/label/mda), and anything that brings attention to her scooter will also help raise awareness for a noble cause -- so keep that in mind and Spread the Word about her Contest!

Website Review- Ratchets Hulk Collection

ComicBookListings: Website Review;


The Comic Book Listings Blog with it's Constant Bargain Hunting (and reporting on those bargains), sometimes runs across a website that is "Good Enough" to be added to our Hallowed Pages!

Such is the case with;
"Ratchet’s Hulk Collection".

Ratchet’s Hulk Collection -aside from being a Great "Hulk" Website- is one of the "Finest" Hulk collections I have ever seen. A true collector who takes pride not only in his collection, but in his work, "His Story" is one I wish ALL to read. Especially, any School Age Kids thinking about starting their own collection of Hulks. Or for that matter, a collection of Anything as Ratchet's story is one of "Amazing Adventures", and even More importantly, of being able to Recognize Opportunities when they come Your way; or to Create them when they don't.

In fact, the following excerpt from "Ratchet's About Page" should clue you in, to just what I mean...

I didn’t really start collecting the Hulk till long into my teens. As a kid I was always more a He-Man collector.

I had a few Hulk things from when I was young. Most notably the Hulk Halloween bucket. I didn’t even own a Hulk Comic till I was 15. My first Hulk Comic was #343 - part of the “Ground Zero” story. In those days Image was just starting up and most people’s focus was on that… and then of course Superman died… so that was a big deal.

I started seriously collecting comics when I was a senior in High School. Always picking up the Hulk, but more caught up in the Image movement. I randomly picked up the Keown back issue here and there - the regular Hulk artist at that time was Gary Frank (who is not my favorite - made the Hulk look too clean and not enough like a monster. Like a green male model, really) So the new comics didn’t hold my interest as much as the back issues I was collecting were. Then I graduated High School and didn’t have a job - so… I had no money. No money meant no comics. Read Full Story Here!

You see? It is at this particular point in any "person's" life, when (weather he knows it or not) he must make a choice between the ways of the world, and his Own dream.

I want You school kids to pay Close Attention to this part as what Ratchet did next, would facilitate his creation of a "Museum Quality Collection of Hulks" that is "True Pedigree"!

"Ratchet", as the Bargain Hunter of the Comic Book Listings blog, I Salute You! Both for your accomplishment, and for a job well done.

A word of Warning to any future collectors however, as I too "Once" had a collection such as Ratchet's. Far superior in fact as I started collecting back in the Sixties. But then, I got married. And that's all I'm going to say about that!

Note; that Ratchet now Displays his collection at his local library. His website has Tons of Hulk information and he is willing to help anyone (especially kids) who are just starting out on their incredible journey into the Amazing and Exciting World of Comic Book Collecting. Visit...
