You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

Not The Pumpkin King, Part 2

Spider-Man deals with monsters and mutants and who-know-whats, but he’s not always battling anything as Halloween-specific as these pumpkin weapons, wielded by the Hobgoblin‚ who let’s face it, is pretty Halloween-specific himself. The pumpkin-full cover of The Amazing Spider-Man no. 244 (September 1983) is by the legendary John Romita Jr (pencils) with inks by Bob Wiacek. Maybe Halloween 2024 is a particularly good one for Spidey as it was just announced that he will be an all-new balloon for our next big holiday in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Watch the skies…and watch for more fun right here at Tulgey Wood throughout October for Countdown to Halloween 2024. Swing by all the other participating blogs and Instagram accounts, too!

I'm excited! A blog about both cartoons and comics!

It's funny how comics, especially Marvel, looked so good in the 80s. Nowadays as long as you can shade they'll hire you, as I've learned from experience.
