Echoing Mike, they really seem to love their jobs and are excited to share what, basically, we as the American people own. It could not have been a better experience.

Hey, kids! Grown men geeking out over comic book art. The folks at the Library of Congress could not have been nicer. In addition to the Spidey story from AF 15, @comicsinthega.bsky.social and I saw several other pieces. Finished with a complete Sal Buscema Cap/Falc book from the Bronze Age!

From Phil’s sample, I’d love a high end treatment of Buscema’s unlinked pencils. He often complained about his various collaborators - seeing his work raw would be a treat.

Tonight I finished the do-it-myself “epic collection” - Jughead 176-199 (1970-71 issues). Great, light fun in each story, as usual!

The planets are beginning to align for the second annual Summit of the Ages, whereby two of your fave BlueSkyers shall appear on the same plane of existence. I don’t know that the nation’s capital can take that much excitement…

It’s the only way I can read those books and gain any enjoyment. I have to set that script to the side, unexcused.

Ah, thank you, Edgar Rice Burroughs - THANK YOU! You’d kept me waiting a full seven chapters in Tarzan the Untamed for your inevitable discourse on Social Darwinism/racism/eugenics. Lovely to see it now out in the wide open!

If I recall, those two (WCA and Namor) were released pretty close together, and sorta served as bookends.

It’s a great vacation. Public transportation is super easy, and cheap. Almost all of the museums are free. Great restaurant town. I first came as an 8th grader in ‘80, then for my fellowship year at the USHMM in 2001, and have been coming at least once a year since 2005. We love it!

When we were at the Kennedy Center, an interpreter told us when Kennedy passed, there was bipartisan intent and cooperation to get the building up and make the vision a reality. “Bipartisan”… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
