This is another one of those things that happens with remarkable frequency at my school… at least twice a year, the events I played out in this week’s worth of comics happens. Do any other teachers notice this?

Chalkboard Drawings: The “solo Marvel Comics character” edition
Posted in chalkboard drawings with tags chalkboard drawings, daredevil, doctor strange, spider-man on January 26, 2014 by Christopher Pearce
I draw a picture of myself on my classroom’s chalkboard everyday. I collect those pictures as camera phone photos and post them on Sundays. See the rest here.
Last week we did The Avengers… this week, I decided to his some of those solo Marvel Comics’ characters. I know I’ve done Spider-Man and Daredevil on the chalkboard in years’ past, but I’ve never had a go at Doctor Strange. He’s surprisingly fun to draw!
Bookery Fantasy Finds!

Here’s a comix shopping recommendation from me to you, if you’re ever in the greater Dayton area. Bookery Fantasy, man. BF is a store specializing in all the things I love: comics, paperbacks, and magazines new and old as well as gaming supplies (which I don’t care about so much, but you might!).
The store is so massive, it’s TWO stores, across the street from one another. A weird, fun shopping experience for sure. One of my favorite things about BF is the massive “discount warehouse” set-up, which includes an entire basement full of single issue comic books for a buck apiece. I spent an hour and a half digging through their archives and I barely made a dent… but the above picture includes most of my spoils.

It’s interesting that most students’ knowledge of World War II is very Euro-centric outside of Hiroshima… but y’know, if you think about the mustaches of WWII, this kid is absolutely right.
