Comic Books: Comics Based on Movies

Video Transcript

"Expert Villagers; we're back with some interesting, kind of comic book stuff that I'd like to mention, that kind of falls in the same category. Let's talk about some; well actually, these are comic books. These would be the movie comic books; where they're put out; you know Disney was famous for them. When you made a movie, then you'd make a comic book out of it, and you know how Disney does the cross-promotions, well this would be Blackbeard's Ghost. This comic book cost twelve cents, so you know that is what? Silver Age; even though it's not a Superhero. So this is Blackbeard's Ghost, and it's got the original pictures from the movie. Then it also has some beautiful art in there from the movie, and it also has a sign of the times. Look at this phenomenal fishing set. Now, isn't that exciting? When you're a kid, you'd open that up; you'd take a look; look at all that fishing stuff; look at all those lures, you've got three...twelve dollars and ninety five cents, and I'd like to mention that fishing stuff is hugely collectible. Fishing lures; I can't tell you; can't get enough of it, especially if it's in the original boxes, but that's an aside. Anyway, this is the kind of magazines I'm talking about. Here's another Disney movie; First Man in the Moon, is that Disney; no; this is Columbia Pictures; First Man in the Moon. So the movie comic books are collectible too. They're not as valuable, but they're fun."
