My List of Films, Books, and Zines I read/watched in 2022...

 Hello Everyone! It has been a while I've used this platform... Here goes!

2022 has been a rough year for the most part with the former job along with the work around the house that needed to get done. Now, toward the end of 2022 many things started to change... all for the better!    

I started up a list of Movies, Books, Comics, and Magazines I have read in 2022... I had set a personal reading / watching goals that I fell short of... There were many reasons for it... It happens! Hopefully I can hit those goals next year in 2023!!! 

What is excluded from this list are the TV shows that were either binge watched or random few episodes of a series... Or any of the reading and editing of the publications we put out. The list will go like this...  Month/Day/Year/Format - Title  Books, Comics, and Zines in Green, Films are White      

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays from M.C.E. !

Happy Holidays!!! 

So yeah, it has been a while that I used this BlogSpot  

It has been a really busy year here at the household between family and jobs, I hope to see some free time soon to be active with the products that I put out. For those who are discovering the cool small press stuff we have, here is a better understanding of what each publication represents... 

Midnight! Magazine is a homegrown horror ‘zine, featuring creator interviews, movie and comic reviews, loads of art, short stories, anecdotal articles, etc. We cover everything from VHS tapes, records, movies, comics, books, the whole shebang. 

MidnightTales is horror/Sci Fi/Weird tales style short fiction with art gallery spread out between stories.

Strange World is weird 70’s throwback exploitation photography stuff, but with modern models and photographers, along with articles, reviews and interviews.

All Titles are part of M.C.E. - Media Crypt Entertainment, all titles are a contributor driven fanzine, if you contribute to these labors of love, you will receive a contribution copy of the zine!

A Day in the Life of a Young Comic Collector

Starstream…. An Adventure into Science Fiction

    The Star Wars craze was going on during 1977 through 1978, being a kid at that time was so much fun! anytime we went to any department store I was always running off to the toy aisle to look at the wall after wall of Star Wars toys and of course the many other toys on the shelves Micronauts are not being one of them, I remember a lot of these being on clearance during this time, it was probably the Kenner line of Star Wars toys that pushed them out!

Check out the old Micronaught toys on the web!

     Anyways with all this being said, there was this one time I was with Mama at Kmart, a store we normally don't frequent. Once again I was off to the toy aisle! Well this place not only had some toys, but they had a small magazine style rack made of wood if I recall, Right there on this rack were many activity books such as coloring books, search a word, color forms box sets and among it were these bagged Whitman comics, most of these were three comic packs of Looney Toons characters and such and behind these bagged comics were several of these individual comics called Starstream - Adventures in Science Fiction.

I grabbed the four different books as they were the only ones I seen at the time, mom bought them for me no complaints, Starstream is like a comic book adaptation of a science-fiction anthology than a regular comic book, now these comics were very thick and they had cardstock cover and a price tag of .79 cents per book (Expensive at that time, If I had Dad with me, it be another “Damn son that’s Expensive” just like the Wonder Bread as told in the last issue) I did not know that these books already been out two years prior, I've not seen them anywhere else, perhaps Kmart decided just to leave them there or just simply doesn't return back stock often, for that reason I'm glad or I would probably not discover these till many years later, this is probably at the time, my discovery of some of the best writers in our time, to mention a few Robert Bloch, Theodore Sturgeon, John W. Campbell, Larry Niven, and some more... Hell! Even Dean Koontz is in it!

Vampirella #1 from Chile in Color

As discussed in Midnight Magazine #7 by Stephane Poitras, here is the Cover and the Insides of Vampirella #1 from Chile. This was the first Vampirella in color. Speaking with a few collectors on this item, be prepared to spend in the $1000 range for this...

Brujerias de Vampirella #1. Chile. May 1970. This one is incredibly hard to find. 

This print of Vampirella #1 is in color. Way before Harris published it in Hyde-25 #0 saying "for the first time in color".

To read the whole section of Vampirella from Kimbers Krypt, Stephane Poitras collection, and Vampi in Mexico with a fabulous splash page by Tim Tyler. Get your copy of Midnight Magazine #7
