BOOK HAUL (Books / Comics / Zines Purchases) 2013

New year, new thread...

Almost 2 weeks into the new year and not one of you posted any book acquitions? For shame.

I got these for Christmas.

DC finally wised up and collected all the I, Vampire stories and released a graphic novel. I have been waiting for ummm....20 years for this thing.

That title makes me think of this...

wow!!! I used to read this back in the 80's, I do not remember it being a stand alone title, I thought it was the main feature to House of Mystery comic book or some other comic book series, but it could be my memory is not what it used to be.

Yes it was featured in House Of Mystery, but essentially took over the title at the end of its first run. This collects all the stories into one volume.

I remember "I, Vampire." Geez, I haven't thought of that strip in ages.

Cool cover on that GN. Joe Kubert was the man.

I always thought " I...Vampire" would make a good series of movies, sort of the anti Twilight series.

I'm surprised Marvel never thought of doing a "The Tomb Of Dracula" movie. That's another colossal book, IMO. Some of Gene Colan's best work.

Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down
Cory Doctorow: Little Brother
Neil Gaiman: American Gods
Emma Lathen: Something in the Air

At one time I was a huge Barker fan, read all his books, can't remember which one I stopped at. May have to re-read them one of these days.

The only one I remember reading is Cabal. I enjoyed it a fair bit.

I just read that Replacements book about a month or so ago, excellent read

I'm looking forward to digging into it. Perusing it some I can see I'm going to be disappointed there isn't more on my favorite 'Mats record Don't Tell A Soul.
