Saturday was Free Comic Book Day. Thomai and K. had a previous commitment, so it was up to Baby Z. and me to mark the occasion on behalf of the family. We visited Fearless Readers where they were having their twice annual 50% off sale. As usual, I picked up some good bargains, including a copy of Iron Fist #1 (signed by John Byrne, at that!) and a copy of Jonah Hex #1. I also snagged a 1952 copy of All-True Crime. I am not particularly familiar with this title, but it looks to be in the same vein as the Hillman Real Clue series that I am currently collecting. I went through the 50 cent bins as well and I picked up several copies of Rom: Spaceknight. Rom is a classic Marvel title from the 1980's and I am currently working towards obtaining the full run of the series. One of these days, I will have to write a bit about Rom, because I think it's a really good series.
Later in the day, we went up to the mall and I got a copy of the special DVD package version of "The Rise and Fall of ECW" with the "One Night Stand 06.12.05" bonus DVD. I watched a bit the same evening and I was pretty impressed. The Tazz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow match on disc 2 is phenomenal.As great as all of that stuff was, one of the highlights of the day was driving around Dayton and listening to Iron Maiden's "Somewhere in Time" album with Baby Z. She told me she really liked the album. Her favorite songs were "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" and "Alexander the Great."
