There are now three editions of The Halloween Retrospect for vintage Halloween collector references. Note again these are not visual survey books but instead articles on focused subjects via primary sources that include ~550 catalogs of consumer/vendor materials (1900-1979) as well as company materials across US archives (such as Framingham History Center for THR, V2 or Hallmark Archives for THR, V3).

 

The third volume of The Halloween Retrospect features a two-part article that first studies haunted house ephemera (early-20th-century to mid-century) and secondly features cards by Gibson and centerpieces by Hallmark as evidence of new paper collectible innovations The book also has small articles on the 60’s wave of sound effects vinyl and a list of catalog terminology.

I just had to take one pic of their booth because apparently they are the biggest thing since sliced bread.

 

I must admit I've never read any of there stuff because I don't generally do "cute" or "upbeat". I prefer to be depressed.

Tony Kelly was football crazy from the age of seven. At sixteen he was the youngest ever player in the first team at Bristol City and in his twenties he became a pro, playing for clubs such Stoke City and Cardiff City in the Football League, second and third divisions. But his blossoming soccer career was marred by a series of mishaps and misdeeds which drove him to disaster. Ruined by an addiction to gambling, he lost his job, his career, his partner and all his money. Now he has written his story – as Kelly puts it, to “invite the public, my family and my friends into my secret hell of racism, despair, depression, stardom, gambling addiction and ultimately self-destruction”. Red Card is a tragic yet uplifting story of a sportsman’s battle with his demons, on and off the pitch.

I did a comic called "Ninja Duck" in high school and partway through college. It was self-published and photocopied. I'd sell them at comics conventions in the Midwest and it was a big focus before design school. These photos are from Justin Nitz's copy of "The Collected Ninja Duck" which combines the first six issues or so. I put it out in 1996 and never kept a copy for myself. Thanks for holding onto that, Justin!
