Manga Lots are up on eBay with a LOW starting bid!
As this is being typed, Paul has put up over 800 manga graphic novels on eBay, with more to come soon. These are being offered in lots of about 30-34 each - enough to fill a “Diamond” box. Each lot is starting at only $39 each, which includes shipping. But, for you local Captain Blue hen customers, he will deduct $5.00 per box of each winning bid if you pick them up here!! Check the listings. Basically, you’re only paying for about 4 volumes if you get a lot for the minimum - the rest are FREE! Go to eBay and under the advanced search, type in “cbhcomics” under seller or if you put in “manga comics group” under the regular search, they should show up. Most are going off the end of next week. The VIZ volumes will be up shortly. Good Luck!

Cap in Iron Man and Hulk? Fraggle Rock to the Big Screen?
Bwahah, they finally gave me the reins and I am ready to charge. I will split up my post into two different sections, NEWS and RUMORS. With all my RUMORS I will post links to pictures so that it doesn’t ruin anything for anyone.
NEWS —
The Weinstein Co. will turn the Jim Henson series “Fraggle Rock” into a live-action musical feature. Cory Edwards, the director of “Hoodwinked”, will be writing and directing “Fraggle Rock”.

The Comic-Con Magazine has released on its cover the first picture of Samuel L. Jackson as the Spirit’s arch-villian, the Octopus.
Some thoughts and websites for Librarians, Literature / Language Arts & Math Teachers, as well as concerned Parents and others.
First of all, the opinions expressed here are Paul’s and do not necessarily reflect those of Captain Blue Hen Comics & Entertainment or its staff:
This may seem as heresy to my colleagues, but as a retired public school math teacher, I believe that the most important subject taught in school is not math, but reading. With all the emphasis in the math curriculum on applying the math, how is one to teach them how to do the math when they do not know what is being asked? (Math is definitely #2, however.)
What do Manga, Pull-Sheets, Credit Cards, & Parades have in common?
Not much actually, except they are all going to be mentioned below!
-
Parade
Next Sunday, May 18th, Newark has its annual Memorial Day Parade scheduled - weather permitting. Main Street, including directly in front of the shop, will be closed to all traffic from roughly 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. We will be open, but if you are in the parking lot when they close down the street, you will not be able to leave until the end! Plan accordingly.
Mini-Batmobile Up for Auction
Proceeds benefit the Newark Charter School.
Come in to the store to bid on this ride-in Batmobile toy donated by “Batman” himself! This is an open auction. See the high bid (not the bidder) at the store.
