Eeyipe! I almost forgot to add the news here.

Cheese and crackers, so much fantastic stuff this week! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better - Hot Spice! I always enjoy seeing the customs. FTC made some pretty interesting characters. That Batgirl is really neat. The Evel Knievel feature was a fun walk down memory lane. We too did the bicycle jumping although the idea of fire never occurred to us. Probably a good thing. I also enjoy Figure Fiend's features. Thanks so much for the work you do each week on the newsletter!

Awww, I'm a pegwarmer. But only because Doc hates Mr. Mxyzptlk, and he wasn't produced.

I enjoyed the newsletter, it's a tonic.

Late but still relevant

Awesome newsletter. Loved that pic of your dad with the parachutist. Lots of interesting bits and nostalgia in this week's newsletter.

I'm smitten with the Airgem figures, too. It's a shame they're so scarce.

The Airgam stuff has always fascinated me.

great vintage photo and story Brian!

Another great Weekly!

That said, I wanted to be sure to acknowledge this sentiment at the beginning, "The past few days have been humbling, which is why I haven't felt up to making content, sorry."

I am sure we've all 'been there' before, in one way or another. When I have, there's nothing anyone else can say (or do) to make that better, especially anonymous internet people.

Nonetheless, I enjoy this Weekly as a brief way to forget about whatever else is going on in my own life, or is otherwise on my mind. And the above candid sentiment is an important reminder to me that this content is made by real people with their own personal challenges, for whom making it is likely, in some way, a 'labor of love', but also a 'commitment' and not the same breezy 'escape' it is for me to peruse casually.

Respect, empathy, and very much appreciated.

[palitoy]

Really appreciate the feedback guys, it is totally a labour of love and unfortunately that takes a lot of time.

I'm a little earlier today, enjoy.

Another great newsletter (and I don't just say that because Cimmerian September got a shout out in the forum spotlight). I love those EMCE Archie prototypes. I know a lot of Archie collectors who would have gone for them in a big way. A couple of creators known for their Archie work over the years-Craig Boldman and Jeff Shultz, are frequent guests in the local comic con circuit here in the Miami Valley/Dayton metro area, and there's a always a high turnout response at their tables when I see them at shows. There seems to be a high concentration of Archie collectors in this area for some reason. Those would have been must buys for a lot of those folks.
