~Foxfire~

   No, not Marvel's Foxfire from The Squadron Supreme series... This is Foxfire from Malibu Comics': Ultraverse. Although, funny enough- this title was launched out of the Phoenix: Resurrection thing that happened after Marvel had purchased Malibu...
   Foxfire was bred as a super-weapon fifty years in the future and then hidden, from an evil alien race, in the present day in order to be able to mature- so she could, in time, defeat them... Her "parents" were secretly robot guardians assigned to protect her but eventually her "father" is killed, and her "mother" malfunctions and is now trying to destroy her.
   Written by Ian Edginton and Dan Abnett, and penciled by Kevin J. West- it only lasted four issues before the entire Malibu Universe was folded away, buried, and forgotten in Earth-93060.

Issue #1 had a really nice cover by Steve Lightle. I know this particular gimmick is something that has been done before- but I still love it...

...seeing the front, and back view of the same image- on each side of the book. He even adjusted the lighting accordingly!  Noice.

Barry Windsor-Smith did an amazing cover in this style to Swords of Cerebus Vol 5. 

Sweet Flea-Market Finds Again:

Well, I spent $5 on some back-issues today at The Dirt-Mall:

-I picked up some stuff I needed, some books I wanted, and some just for the fuck of it- I mean, twenty-five cents each?  Right?

Sweet Flea-Market Finds:

~For anyone who does not know- I absolutely love going out to the local Dirt-Mall. I always find comics, action-figures, and/or games on the cheap (I used to make YouTube videos about my hauls), and I just got back from my first visit in 2014.

 Of course, being winter still- there are no outside vendors... and that's who always has the really good stuff. The indoor vendors are always the same people, and most of them seldomly have new merchandise. At any rate; there are two booths inside that always have back-issue-bargain-bins, and here's what I picked up for only 33.333333 cents each:

You know- it really are the little things in comics...

...that make me laugh.
-Like when The Guardians Of The Galaxy's Vance Astro went back in time to confront his younger self in Marvel Two-In-One #69: 

-Yes... this guy IS weird.
