I'll Stop the World and Melt With You.

So I have two things to talk about today. First up is my obvious crush on Nick Lowe… Look, can I help it if he’s working on some of my favorite books right now? And he has fabulous baby blue eyes and boyish good looks? Seriously, go check out Eternals if you haven't already.

Second is, and I’m sure many of you notice, we post comments of our own on these blogs as well. I myself post under the username shortmikeshort; Mark D. Beazley posts as MBeaz; Jen Grunwald posts under, obviously, Jen Grunwald. Just reading our comments to each other gives you a glimpse of what a small, dysfunctional family we, the Trades Department, are.

But back to Nick Lowe! Mm-hmm!

If you're going to make statements about the beauty of Nick Lowe- at least post an embarrasing photo to go with it!

I miss...
...Nick Lowe's flowing, golden locks. Grow the hair out, man!

Nick Lowe's hair
Are you crazy, McKeever?! He's looks adorable with the short hair! I am very anti-long-hair for guys. Yeuch!

You just want to make him more like a girl so you feel less bad about being so attracted to him... ;)

Muah-ha-haaaa...
I'm going to flag your response as offensive now.

Please help Trades Dept.
Hi; I'm a 37 year old fan; been collecting since 1978...

I wanted to tell you that even thought I am in a very tough situation financially, I manage to put the money aside to buy many of Marvel's books.

Sometimes that means I have to depart with chunks of my collection to fund new purchases, but that’s OK. This week I sold a bunch of older comics to buy the Eternals Omnibus. What a book! What a blast of nostalgia!

However when I opened my copy, I saw that the dust jacket had a tear (printing damage it seems).... I was devastated! As I bought this book in Toronto (I live in Montreal ) I now have no way of exchanging it (plus, the retailer would think I damaged it myself, which I positively did not!).

Is there anyway I can get a replacement dust jacket? I am so sad, I parted with some dear Hulk comics (Trimpe period) to buy this, but I’m stuck with a damaged copy, as I did not see the defect before I paid and left Toronto ….

Please help!!!!! I'm having a mini-depression each time I look at the book!

Eternals
Hey I just bought the Eternals Omnibus and it's Great!
And I was wondering are there any plans for realeasing the '85 run in hardback and weren't there a couple of one-shots that could go with it?
Thanks keep up the good work

I feel your pain, unfortunately this is not something we here at the Marvel Offices can help you with. This problem occurred either A)At the Printers or B)During Shipping and Handling. And any major bookstore chain should be able to help you out with an exchange (as a former B&N bookseller, I can tell you we're fairly understanding).

Jesus of Cool
Mr. Cruel-to-be-kind is doing comics now? Awesome! Oh, wait, it's not that Nick Lowe? Oh. Well, forget I mentioned anything. He must hate being mistaken for the other one.

About the author:
Jennifer Grünwald (who yells a lot), Mike Short (who’s on the receiving end of much of Jen’s yelling), Mark D. Beazley (who tries to drown out Jen’s yelling with his rather odd tastes in music that probably annoy his fellow officemates) & Jeff Youngquist (who’s waaaaay too busy for you people) in the Trades Department bring you all your favorite Hardcovers, Trade Paperbacks & Digests along with Handbooks, Director’s Cuts, Marvel Spotlight, Milestones, Flip Magazines and pretty much EVERYTHING else outside of the monthlies (we’re very busy)! Let's talk.
