Hope this day is frightfully festive, whether you are costuming, partying, or sequestering! As for me, I'm happy to be with you here in Tulgey Wood, so thanks for stopping by. Our treat today is a super one...it's my favorite superhero, Spider-Man. Thanks to Marvel, Spidey was the National UNICEF Day Safety Chair. (Today, October 31, is officially UNICEF Day, as it is officially is every year in the US.) As part of their participation in the annual Trick or Treat for UNICEF campaign, Marvel offered a special-edition Spider-Man comic book, The Trial of Venom, yours by US mail for sending in a donation of at least $5.00 to UNICEF. In this war-torn world, UNICEF and its mission is more important than ever.

Here he is on a most appropriate trick-or-treat themed drawing by Harvey Comics mainstay Warren Kremer on the cover of <i>Casper the Friendly Ghost</i> (or if you will,<i> The Friendly Ghost Casper</i>) #28 September 1960. Apparently Casper's woodland neighbors knew that Casper-branded Halloween gear was indeed manufactured.

What can possibly sum up Disney after 100 years? Since we are in the midst of our Countdown to Halloween 2023 blogathon, let's choose something spooky-season related. And there is nothing that is better for Halloween than "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the masterfully animated second half of Walt Disney's <i>The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad </i>(1949). Here we have a lobby card from the original release and ad art from 1958, who "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was reissued as a stand-alone featurette.</span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlODhutoFh21k_ZMXOhGEQ5CUo_pgV8oYQOJt7k1kSDFXCu7Z3pOwZYq0efCgX72d1IrzMHq3N0yxhnjruIqGDg43zvNW2dXyYcQBS4-R0OMzQI6PoKmrGUV1Cg0rKHtF_8XhdDtb6JIuksGLHQIbPFkn6SpjNA2G6izmRL-NMvtVXpSatA_a69NyG0zQ/s1213/Ichabodandheadlesslobbycard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="937" data-original-width="1213" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMlODhutoFh21k_ZMXOhGEQ5CUo_pgV8oYQOJt7k1kSDFXCu7Z3pOwZYq0efCgX72d1IrzMHq3N0yxhnjruIqGDg43zvNW2dXyYcQBS4-R0OMzQI6PoKmrGUV1Cg0rKHtF_8XhdDtb6JIuksGLHQIbPFkn6SpjNA2G6izmRL-NMvtVXpSatA_a69NyG0zQ/w400-h309/Ichabodandheadlesslobbycard.jpg" width="400" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBDDyzy6XswnLFaN80jTFhugQp-gCMZEpFNsQTwU_qv4bv4YUXqdBl5FMa1vjqR401VzOH-AD3AEX7jRplWvQ-LY_jUD89sw7nX8H-5X3pv7qOpOyM87Y7inWZx0Yr3WyPgzitYHilWUfI9ncguqKTPNatA-w4gNCuv8PfzcmWt29i-uVHPt0xnokULWG5/s783/Screen%20Shot%202023-10-20%20at%2011.31.40%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="526" data-original-width="783" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBDDyzy6XswnLFaN80jTFhugQp-gCMZEpFNsQTwU_qv4bv4YUXqdBl5FMa1vjqR401VzOH-AD3AEX7jRplWvQ-LY_jUD89sw7nX8H-5X3pv7qOpOyM87Y7inWZx0Yr3WyPgzitYHilWUfI9ncguqKTPNatA-w4gNCuv8PfzcmWt29i-uVHPt0xnokULWG5/w400-h269/Screen%20Shot%202023-10-20%20at%2011.31.40%20PM.png" width="400" /></a></div></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17250608597541200372noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250418020131864595.post-34667354536482515942023-10-16T15:30:00.027-07:002023-10-22T18:28:28.702-07:00Disney 100 At Tulgey Wood TV <p><span style="font-family: verdana;">To commemorate Disney 100 today, Disney's actual 100th anniversary, my YouTube channel will be celebrating all week with special videos.

It's not a horror film, but on the other hand, a malevolent some might say monstrous elecTRONic force abducts a hero and forces him to compete as a gladiator in games to the death. At any rate, my co-host on our YouTube series, Digging the Details with Jim and Dean, the uber talented artist-writer-historian Dean Brinkerhoff, has written<a href="https://www.communerdy.com/disneys-tron-bits-bytes-and-family-insights" target="_blank"> an excellent multi-faceted article</a> about both TRON and TRON Legacy. It's on <a href="https://www.communerdy.com" target="_blank">the Communerdy website</a>, which features many other fascinating articles as well. What's better than reading Dean's article? Listening to Dean read it! Check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOBqPco5Is" target="_blank">Dean's YouTube channel and this video </a>and give it a listen. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyIJX2TCx3-o54rS8lR9x3c2RF0K2O2dltqb-Kmn11DdttRJyJeWa8UBrDMa9Ew60kh1BBtcXLOojfEaTMwXTC2bfT7TwezJWrJRBK6s50_NHb1KXeYLC75oDl9H3myCTIWX0-9PY-P8AGKglm3Ca-A0YAQhfOKJjhBBK_S-DO4IEowlwHYjzRn6Xxv2tW/s1271/Screen%20Shot%202023-10-14%20at%2011.10.25%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="782" data-original-width="1271" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyIJX2TCx3-o54rS8lR9x3c2RF0K2O2dltqb-Kmn11DdttRJyJeWa8UBrDMa9Ew60kh1BBtcXLOojfEaTMwXTC2bfT7TwezJWrJRBK6s50_NHb1KXeYLC75oDl9H3myCTIWX0-9PY-P8AGKglm3Ca-A0YAQhfOKJjhBBK_S-DO4IEowlwHYjzRn6Xxv2tW/w400-h246/Screen%20Shot%202023-10-14%20at%2011.10.25%20AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p>Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17250608597541200372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250418020131864595.post-20645988643245508762023-10-12T08:30:00.001-07:002023-10-14T11:49:33.422-07:00More Than Casper and Spooky <p><span style="font-family: verdana;">With stars such as Casper and Spooky and Hot Stuff, Harvey Comics are a Tulgey Wood spooky-season staple, and Countdown to Halloween 2023 is no exception. But it's good to remember that Harvey Comics is more than the ghosts and devils and witches. Also among their stars were children, so of course Halloween is a perfect subject for those characters as well.

Not surprisingly, this specially formatted comic book wasn't reprintred...until 1992, when it was republished in <i>Walt Disney's Comics and Stories</i> #578. As we celebrate all things spooky for Countdown to Halloween 2023, here are a few pages of this rarity.
