Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip

Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and his Revolutionary Comic Strip Review

For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes was one the world's most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Its mercurial and reclusive creator, Bill Watterson, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life.

In Looking for Calvin and Hobbes, Nevin Martell sets out on a very personal odyssey to understand the life and career of the intensely private man behind Calvin and Hobbes. Martell talks to a wide range of artists and writers (including Dave Barry, Harvey Pekar, and Brad Bird) as well as some of Watterson's closest friends and professional colleagues, and along the way reflects upon the nature of his own fandom and on the extraordinary legacy that Watterson left behind. This is as close as we're ever likely to get to one of America's most ingenious and intriguing figures - and it's the fascinating story of an intrepid author's search for him, too.

Daredevil Comic Book Volumes 1-8, 10-12 Review

You may have seen movies or read comic books about heroes such as Spider Man, Bat Man, or Superman but have you heard of the Daredevil. Why not go old school and read stories of some of the first famous comic book heroes? Many of the most popular and well known comic book heroes of today had their humble beginnings many decades ago or provided inspiration for the creation of other comic book heroes. The Daredevil is one of such comic book heroes. This is fun to read and entertaining (especially with some of the old fashioned words and language). This is a set of many editions/adventures of the Daredevil. This comic book has been specifically formatted for the Kindle 3 screen size. However, the resolution is high enough that you can zoom in (enlarge) the images for a Kindle with a larger screen. Also, the contrast and sharpness of this comic book has also been enhanced for a better reading experience. In addition to the formatting and image enhancements to the comic book, instructions are provided for using Kindle’s hidden image viewer to view this comic book. The instructions include an internet link to download the comic book and instructions for putting the comic book on your Kindle. Please note that due to the file size of the comic book and in order to use the hidden Kindle image viewer (i.e., in order to maintain the file format/type), it is necessary to download it from the internet link rather than directly from the Kindle store.
For more information about this comic book series go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_(Lev_Gleason_Publications) and http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Daredevil.

Vampire Cheerleaders vol. 1 Review

The Bakertown High School cheerleading squad has a secret: behind all their pretty make-up and short skirts are five hungry vampires who sure know how to show their school spirit!

It turns out that she’s the most normal person out there and everyone else around her is some kind of paranormal freak! Seriously: her sister is a werewolf, her best friend is a witch, and her next door neighbor is a dhampir. Together, this motley crew of unlikely friends travel the country in their trusty Winnebago in search of cryptids and all manner of supernatural beasties!

I Got Sex at Comic-Con: A Fanboy Comic Book Geek's Move from Loser to Player

I Got Sex at Comic-Con: A Fanboy Comic Book Geek's Move from Loser to Player Review

Geeks and chicks go together like Clark Kent and Kryptonite.

I'm a geek. And until this past Comic-Con, I was a typical, loser, fanboy, geeky, super-virgin.

This is my story. It works on many levels, but it works. It will work for you too. Because this is my story of how I went from zero to hero and I wrote it like a textbook for you.

• You will stop watching the jerks get the skirts!
• You will learn to light the fires that She desires!
• You will not stumble, but instead you'll tumble into situations where the ladies want you and yes, even in the midst of jocks and jerks all around you!

I tell my pitiful story first of how awkward I was at the ripe age of 18 not having ever had a real date. I go into the horrid details because too many men were in reality just weak boys like me. Boys who only fantasize about being men so we dive into fictional lands instead of into real girls' heads and beds.

Once I show you that I am your mirror image...

After I go into gory detail how painful the thought of asking a female out on a date was...

I describe that fateful night at Carlos's Pizza where my best friend George introduced me to being a real man. An Alpha Man. And George was far worse off than I was. Before.

My question as I gobbled my pizza was this: "George, man, why don't I ever see you? I know we don't have classes together now but we never had to work so hard to get together!"

George replied: "I've been dating way too much to hang out with you and I'm sorry. I need to stop going out with so many skirts so we can spend more time together."

My world was shaken to its core with that answer. As the night progressed, I learned everything I thought I knew about women was a lie. And everything I knew about George would not be the same again.

George told me why he had no time to spend with me. Geeky, loser, George.

George was getting laid.

I was staring at my friend George... but looking at a god.

You Will Be a Player - Fast

This is my textbook for you.

George taught me how to get women. He really taught me - and he's a lousy teacher.

I mastered it and took it farther than George ever did. I'm a better teacher for you too.

Admit it. You are as lonely as I was -- surrounded by lots of graphic novels on your bed. You spend Friday nights at role-playing fantasy games with buddies. Not only have you never gotten to third base with a girl you maybe haven't even kissed one if your mother and aunts don't count... and they don't.

I'm going to make you a stud. Yes, this is not a joke and not a fib.

If you have no idea how to talk to women, I am going to show you:

• How to approach them
• Where to stand
• What to say
• How to say it

You won't have to think. As a matter of fact, thinking is your primary problem with females. I'm going to program you like JavaScript code.

You won't stutter and you won't falter because you will know exactly step 1, step 2, and so on. It doesn't matter what she says in response, you stick to the program and you get the girl.

This Only Works on the Hotties

And the best part? You know the girls you settled for, the 4's and 5's that were still too good for you to ask out? All this material doesn't work on them. I'm proof. This training you are about to embark on works only on the 9's, 9.5's and mostly on the 10's. Women light-years from possible.

I'm not exaggerating. I'm not lying. I feel your pain buddy.

I'm sick and tired of seeing the jerks get the women. It's time the Nice Guys learned what buttons to push on a babe's attraction dashboard.

You're going to wish I'd written this long before now. But you will be forever grateful.

If I had this book, I could have gotten laid much sooner than I did.

But this is the story of me, what George taught me, me teaching you, and then it culminates into my time a few months ago at Comic-Con when in under 8 months I went from fanboy loser to winner with the most astounding girl I ever laid eyes on.

It can happen to you too.
