my mother's old 45's are wrecked... lol. she played them to death. I still got some from my childhood and then later from music stores, but I don't collect them.

Howdy Easy! Cool video! I love that 45 carrying case (I agree with you that it looks like it's from the 50's) and the records inside were a nice selection! Some classics, some unknown treasures? To answer your question, I suspect that a lot of us in the community have that hunter-gatherer instinct that makes us pick up anything that looks interesting. Aside from comics, I collect books (about history, art, tv, movies, pop culture, etc.), novels (mostly pulp era science-fiction and fantasy, and westerns of course!), DVD sets of old tv series, Movie DVDs mostly older classics and westerns), some vintage sports cards (mostly of the local teams from Montreal such as the Canadiens hockey team and the defunct Expos baseball team), and stamps. I am slowly getting into vintage paperbacks because of yours and Mica/Graphic Man videos. I also want to get into vintage magazines like the Saturday Evening Post and Look (back when had painted covers) and pulp magazines in a near future... When there is any collecting budget left!

Great show!!! Brother Easy,Dang. If we had this tech when we were kids ,it would of revolutionized doing book reports. No beating around the bush amigo,WE ARE CHEAP 😅 if it's old i collect it .I like old iron fabricated stuff that was crafted with old yankee ingenuity..even things like the bell I ring walking into the Hawksnest..I found that old bell at an abandoned bern out in the woods when I was running the beagles. Don't get cheaper than that brother. Awsome vid. God bless

Nice, I still have my record collection, terrible terrible records, but then I've always had bad taste when it comes to music 😄You might or might not have noticed but I collect action figures as well, not as much as I used to but I'm still picking ones up.

Hey Nowww Easy! shoutout to JRK he is awesome and sent a great AOK. Back on the dvd collecting buddy thats cool. Shoutout to Random Rips aka Random Reads that was a awesome mystery box. im excited to see the room tour. great music playing Easy along with the great music guests. great scrooge books. great video Easy every time buddy.

i still seek out 45s .

i got six thousand of those little records

I miss those days when we had to read the comics and FIND THEM, it made the HUNT for not just the books but the knowledge that much more rewarding. Not just with comics, but anything. So much is on the tips of the finger today (lots of it bad too!)..but we're old school and don't have to look things up, or don't WANT to. Your inspiration to experience the Kull series like it was back in the day, that's an epiphany. As you know, I'm glad that yourself and others might enjoy some of my videos. We all help to inspire each other. When I saw you start posting videos last year, those early ones, it was a driver for me to have a go at it. I prefer watching on the tv and am rarely online after supper. Fist pump back at ya 👊

Welcome back Easy!!! I am among the many who sorely missed your weekly variety show. * * * And what a fun way to start 2025 than with generous AOKs! THE Jackson has impeccable tastes for sure. Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR of the most classic western movies! And Commando might just be my favorite british comics! * * * And Random Rips/Reads showered you with a nice stack of Uncle Scrooge books! So happy for you Easy that you are discovering how some of those funny animals comics could also be some of the most enjoyable stories to read. Carl Barks was a master storyteller on the same level as the greatests like Kirby, Eisner, etc. * * * Great Kull retrospective! I am among the very few who actually prefers Kull to Conan. I have have limited myself to only issues # 1 to 15 of that series. Because after John Severin and Mike Ploog, all the other artists that came after suffers in comparison.

The shelves behind you are looking good!! Your paperback collection is coming along nicely. Missed your show man glad you dropped a video on us. Take care and hope the family stays healthy and safe 👊🏼

Some nice Commando's and Scrooge's there Easy, I have the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa, that's a fun read if you don't have it, also what was the Klaus Kinski film at the start, I might need to give that one a watch? Oh and I appreciate having my stuff classed as oddball, keep up the great work 😄

Wabash Cannonball by Boxcar Willy! Thats awesome! I actually have some personal connection to ole boxcar. Great books! I am a big fan of those duck books as well. Glad you are back! The show was great as usual! Question are you or were you a musician? I used to play quite a bit in my teens and twenties but dont play anymore. My wife kid work and comics get in the way. Cant wait for the next one!

I was just saying that I wanted to collect some more ducktail comics. The music was way better back in the 60s and 70s. The four-way movie was pretty cool too.

DANG !!! those UK commando books are sweet!! And that Black bat Pulp is a beauty. Brother Jackson is the man!!! Whew! Your opening scene thru me a bit,i really thought I time travel to the convelescent home,what a trip. The room is looking tight amigo! Look at you with the Funko pops. That book club sounds fun,I would love to invite myself too..there is a great book,writen by Paul Kupperburg called JSA RAGNOROK. I read it a long time ago..I'm dying to reread it. Fun stuff.. aww yeah KULL! he is the riteful king,he challenge that punk king and crushed em..then every weasel in the kingdom tries to take him out. Awsome. We'll i thank you for this video brother,I needed it. I' been locked in with Ole momma Higgs for the past three days and I'm going a bit stir crazy.your the best ,,God bless Easy co.

Welcome back Mike! Lots of Gladstone issues coming in upcoming claim sales. I just got in two long boxes.

Great show once again, brother! Wonderful AOK from one of the funniest and wittiest folks in the community, Jackson Roykirk! I've never seen those Commando digests and Wizard magazines were a big part of my collecting as well. Love the Black Bat book! Very cool mystery package too! Diggin' all the music you play too, Mike! Boxcar and the Wabash Cannonball, YEAH! Congrats on the Kull collection, sir! Just a fun time all the way, Mike, thanks, brother!

the spider looks cool. funny im drinking a 7-up now, lets jam and dance great video buddy

great video brother and a good ole funky time great commercials so fun and funny

I'm definitely loving this review

Great video. I loved these ads and also during the mid 70s Hostess got into the baseball card market by putting cards on the bottom of their packages. What a great time to be a kid.

NICE! It wasn’t the Bronze Age unless Hostess ads were in them! 😊

The Hostess with the mostest!! This was great brother. All the characters and legendary creators. Thanks so much brother 🙏

Who're the hosts of this podcast?

No wonder the smell of old comics makes me hungry 😋

I'm hungry!

Cool art, man! Reminds me of the Kirby collages.

Great show Easy! Really enjoyed the backdrop when you were doing your intro.. 😊 Fantastic books and characters.. The Spectre and Deathlok are two of my faves .. and the Phantom too! Awesome! I just finished my AT Deathlok run a couple years ago. Hard to beat the DC War comics, right ? Fantastic stuff brother! 👊

Another relaxing gem Mike. Thank you

You've got some great content!

I love that opening song footage, Easy! It's one of those songs I remember hearing infrequently on the radio as a kid but always loved it. Incredible musical find, brother! The Spectre! A longtime fave character! Great collection of that series. Deathlock was such a cool and interesting character for me growing up. I really enjoyed his occasional x-overs with other Marvel heroes. Great piece on The Phantom too! I remember he was my main reason for reading the Sunday funnies in the newspapers. LOVE the DC War piece with the National Anthem playing! Great work throughout this video once again, Mike! I really love the concept, the comics and the amount of quality production you put into each episode. Wonderful and fun show, my friend!👊😎👍

Very cool friend my friend. I did like the sounds over the music thought it was a nice touch. Really liked the mental patient segment. Thanks for showcasing The Phantom I definitely need to read more of that!

I was wondering why they looked so sharp, so I had to go back and re-listen, "kindle collection" a-ha! Digital. I loved your tailgunner scene treatments and sound effects for Our Army at War. And your fire pit video the other day was cool too, buddy!

Hmm, music and sound effects to go with comic panels, I'm not sure it'll work Easy 😉Good stuff as always.

Yes!!! A good story is always Icing on the cake but what attracts me to the medium of comics so much is the ART!!! Having said that my favorite was the second slide with Deathlock .. love how the music was playing but you could see who did the pencils, ink, and writing/cover credits!!! All of them had thier own charm Very well done thanks again my Chicano Hermano! 👊🏼

Great books man loving the content

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving Easy. Nothing like sitting by a nice fire at night. Oh, and some good, Bronze Age books to boot.

EASY!!! my brotha i love that Phantom baby. ! Great work on this video , also i really digging the book choices. God bless brother

Interesting and cool stuff as always mate. I love that Spectre run from the 90's I bought them as they hit the shops. One of my favourite series all with awesome covers and mostly sublime Mandrake interior art, I was so happy when Tom came on to my channel for a chat some time ago, I was a total fanboy. The addition of the sound FX to the comic panels adds a great touch of atmosphere to them mate, well done. The song with the guy talking about being in a madhouse was strange!! Not sure what that was all about, was that you lol Sgt Rock from Easy Company is very appropriate for your channel

ECR, disregard my comment about watching the video right before this one, i saw you responded. Thanks ECR.

You never disappoint Easy! On the contrary, you keep getting better! And you keep selecting music from my personal heartstring playlist! That intro once again hit the perfect sweet spot! Known in the U.S. as ''Sukiyaki'', a stupid title that has nothing to do with the theme of the song, the real name of the japanese hit song (sold 13 millions of copies worldwide!) is "Ue o Muite Arukō" which translate to "I Look Up as I Walk". The song was written to be interpreted in many ways, someone gazing at the sky longing for something/someone lost. * * * I never realized how so many top quality artists contributed covers for the 90's Spectre series written by the great John Ostrander. Not a single dud in the lot! All were spectacular! * * * The BBC intro to the Phantom was an astute selection to put the creation of the Phantom comic strip in perspective of the following emergence of the comic book superhero genre it contributed to inspire. * * * And you can never get enough John Severin war comics! But your selection was a particularly well written one to boot!

Awesome work, Mike. Great job!

hey ECR. Fantastic Spectres everyone of them great covers & detail, hopefully when I start collecting again that's a title I'd like to collect, never had it before. Very cool Phantom doc, I love things like that, on the history of comics docs etc, Phantom is another title I'd like to collect, I don't think I ever had that title before could be wrong though. Very cool & clever how you added audio to those comics. I commented last night on your video right before this one.

The Phantom documentary clip was not created by me - it is just an introduction to the story that follows 😊

Hello my good friend. Yeah when you first started making videos, you mentioned that you like to sit by your fire pit. I like that popping sound a fire makes. I was one of the first people to meet you, one day you popped on that Horror Mike show, I used to be in his chat from the beginning. Terrific books, I always liked that upper left corner box of the Human Torch, on the cover of Marvels Greatest Comics. When I first stepped into a comic store in the early 80's, I remember seeing silver & bronze FF's as well as #1, I bought some but looking back now I wish I would've bought alot more. Maybe I'm Amazed great song, I like Rod Stewart but I'm partial to McCartneys version though.

Shoulda chucked some Marvel comics on that fire Easy, it would have burned like crazy! That's a nice selection of comics though, Batman and Superman Family, Super-Team Family, that's a great comic and Muppet Babies, I used to get up early on Saturdays to watch that cartoon. Hope you had a good thanksgiving.

Great fire great tunes with a great amigo !!! Love this video my brother. Jamming the Traffic. Steve Winwood is such a talent. I don't know if you've ever seen him play guitar,but he is a Savage. This Thanksgiving I'm grateful for my friendship with you brother

The comics (great idea to have the family theme for this special occasion) and music were cool, but my favorite part was when it was just you (and your doggies), shooting the breeze around the camp fire. Man, I could watch that fire all night. Seriously. Brings me back to the days when I lived in the Laurentian forests, up north of Montreal... Fire is something special. So is water. Watching the shimmering light of the moon on the waters of a lake has the same effect. Contact with the natural forces and beauty of nature. Thank you Easy, and happy thanksgivings to you and your loved ones.

I may have to film my backyard fire sometime. Course it gets a little hectic with all the cult members dancing around with all of that loud chanting. But still there are the moments of peace that make it all worthwhile. Enjoy your day off my friend. Love seeing those GoldKey/Whitman's. 🤠😎
