Womanthology organizer Renae De Liz hospitalized

Renae De Liz, the artist who spearheaded the Womanthology project and drew IDW’s recent The Last Unicorn comic, is recovering in a critical care unit due to an infection in her blood and kidneys, as well as other health issues.

“She has an infection that has spread into her blood and kidneys, as well as pneumonia and some other things we’re worried about, but I don’t want to say anything there until test results are back,” her husband Ray Dillon posted on his blog today. “As of today she’s doing a bit better and we’re told after perhaps a week in the Critical Care Unit she should be mostly recovered. It got really bad and we almost lost her. Been a very rough couple of weeks. We’re behind in work, income, communication, and our nerves are just shot from all this.”

Dillon notes De Liz does not have health insurance, and he has been asked by friends and fans if they can donate money to assist with the “likely $30k or more in medical bills we’re racking up here.” He adds that “right now we don’t have any dire need and there are a lot of people out there who probably do,” comparing their current situation to one where they lost their house a couple of years ago. “We might be paying these medical bills forever, but it’s not the same as needing to raise a certain amount by a certain time to save a house or to have a major operation to save a life or anything like that,” he said.

If you’re inclined to help, he has a donate button set up on his site where you can do so through PayPal. It would also likely help if you bought something from his Amazon store, where you can find several of the projects he (and De Liz) worked on.

Avengers Thor Statue For Sale! (Jack Kirby Art)

Avengers Thor Statue For Sale!
(Jack Kirby Art)

Now This is Pretty Cool!

Based on the Original Classic Art by Jack Kirby, this Mighty Thor statue stands like a literal god upon the field of battle. Huge and muscular, the god of thunder poses triumphantly with his magical hammer Mjolnir held high above his head as though daring the enemies of Asgard to challenge him.

The classic look is authentic from the colorful costume (sleeveless black belted tunic with silver discs, blue pants, yellow wrapped high boots, and red cape) to his hair and accessories (red and black wristbands and silver winged helmet). Thor has an incredibly detailed sculpt that captures every bulging muscle, crease and fold of his costume, and the flowing strength of his cape and long blonde hair. Particularly well done are the powerful but battle worn Mjolnir with its chips, cracks, and iconic inscription and the deity's face focused fiercely on the battle at hand.

Sculpted by Kotobukiya master artist Eric k Sosa, Thor dominates the fine art statue series at nearly 13 inches tall. The blast from the past stands on a crushed rock terrain base that will match those on the other upcoming Classic Avengers Captain America and Iron Man! Start building your classic Marvel team with Thor just in time for the film.

Update: I found a Video Review (below) on youtube of the Kotobukiya "Thor" statue. I do not know the person conducting the review. And, since I'm on Dial-up, I could not watch the whole thing. However it does seem to be an honest review, so I have embedded the video for your convenience. Hope you enjoy.

Going Out of Business Sale! - 10,000 Comics $3000

The Comic Book Listings Blog:

Comic Book Listing News:

Going Out of Business Sale!
36+ Long Boxes
That's 10,000+ Comics For Sale
for Only, $3000

Now this, is what I'm talking about! This is the very reason I created The Comic Book Listings Blog. Why buy comic book collections of 50 or 100, when you buy comic books by the Ton!

Found, on craigslist, is an AD for 36+ Long Boxes of Comics - $3000. Seller says; "I am getting out of the comic book business and need to sell my inventory". Keep in mind I do not know the seller, so you will have to rely on your own Due Diligence. Nevertheless, 10,000 comic books for only $3000 Dollars? That's a Steal at only $0.30 cents each.

Start your own Comic Book Store! If I had the money, you can bet I would have already contacted the seller and you would never see this deal posted on my blog. But, I don't have the money. And even if I did, I'm Married! So it probably wouldn't work out anyway. Come to think of it, that's why I don't have any money. She's, got it all. ARRRRG!!! ...but I digress.

Unfortunately the seller didn't post any pictures, and does not mention a "Comic Book List". But you never know until you ask, and the seller Did post their Phone# on craigslist, so the info, and the Bonanza, is just a phone call away. So, and without further a due. Here is the...


Seller's Description

I am getting out of the comic book business and need to sell my inventory. I have 36 long boxes of comic books and graphic novels, around 10,000+ copies. 85% or more are bagged with a board. Dates range from 70s to early 2000s with most being 80s and 90s. most are near mint condition.

Marvel, DC, Top Cow, Iron Man, Avengers, superman, spider-man, hulk, lady death, vampirella, and many many more. A couple of boxes of magazine size stuff, probably about 100. A long box full of backing boards and a large box a plastic bags. I am asking $3000 for all of them. That is $.30 each. With that cost it is very easy to make a profit if you decide to sell. Plus you get all of those extra backing boards and bags. Call me XXX-XXX-XXXX. Selling as a whole lot, no pick and pull.
