For those die hard RANKIN/BASS fans!

I transferred these RARE demos from Romeo Muller's collection to a CD! Love these tracks (Brian Ianessa was kind enough to make the track list for me and Gary Matheson arranged the tracks)!

CAPTAIN ACTION: THE MIGHTY THOR

Packaging art that I really like...Jack Kirby!

Packaging art I REALLY don't like! If this is the final packaging art, it will never make it into my collection. I will take the costume out of the package and throw the package away.

a few more things from my collection...

Barnabas Collins arrives at Collinwood

Jonathan Frid Interview on Merv Griffin 1969

Jonathan Frid R.I.P.

Sorry to hear that Jonathan passed April 13th at 87. No one could play the character of BARNABAS COLLINS in DARK SHADOWS like he did. A true pop icon!

RANKIN/BASS' THE HOBBIT

The CHICAGO CUBS are on pace to lose over 100 games...

THANKS to the RICKETTS (Sounds like a disease and it has been for the team) and NEW GM Theo Epstein! They are talking about renovations at WRIGLEY...adding a JUMBO TRON, etc. Changing what makes Wrigley Field special in the first place.....they should be talking about spending money on NEW players!
