As I noted on Wednesday, both Comic Book Cover Cavalcade and LP Cover Cavalcade grew out of my earlier combined series Comics And LP Cover Cavalcade, a split prompted by my realization that the comic book and music commentaries served separate audiences. Since the switch, I've posted two LP Cover Cavalcades, one Comic Book Cover Cavalcade, and one Paperback Cover Cavalcade. I'm planning a second Comic Book Cover Cavalcade (possibly as soon as next week), spotlighting five of DC Comics' dollar tabloid editions from the '70s. Actually, I dig that Limited Collectors Edition/Famous 1st Edition subject a lot, so I may do more than one Cavalcade celebrating those.
I've been considering a few other potential Cavalcades. VH-S tapes? DVDs? CDs? Hardcover books? Magazines? Coverless comics? Maybe. Each presents an opportunity for me to take images of five things that interest me and wax rhapsodic about them. The LP, comic book, and paperback Cavalcades will continue, of course. They're all ongoing reflections of the simple fact that I like stuff.
"I Like Stuff" will also be the title of a near-future post, which will mostly be a gallery of photographs of some of the big ol' stacks of comic books, magazines, LPs, CDs, 45s, cassettes, books, videos, posters, knickknacks, and other sundry manifestations of my packrat nature. Oh, and I should do a little song und dance about my collection of rock 'n' roll and pop culture buttons. I like stuff? Yeah, that's putting it mildly.
And comic books remain among the stuff I'm proud to like. An annotated gallery of five DC Comics from the 1970s is the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
