My Free Comic Book Day 2019 Haul | ACG Vlog 23
May 4th it’s time for the yearly event Free Comic Book Day.
In the Netherlands some comic book shops participate, but it’s not as big as in the USA. In the past Dutch publishers tried to set up a Dutch variant of FCBD but that wasn’t a big success. Nowadays, some shops give away free American comics. I got mine early this year and love to give you a preview of the comics that are available on Free Comic Book Day 2019. In total 51 comics are available, I show you about a dozen.
Check out the YouTube-Channel of FCBD.

Giant Size X-Men #1: The Successful Reboot of the X-Men | Vlog 20
Right now, I’m a very happy comic book reader because I finally got my hands on a copy of GIANT SIZE X-MEN #1. I have wanted to read this historic comic from 1975 for years because I am a big fan of Chris Claremont’s run of the X-Men.
And the team that was introduced in this Giant Size X-Men is my favorite team of the X-Men. Granted, this is the genesis of that team: Kitty Pryde and Rogue would join the ranks of the X-Men later on. However, I have always wanted to know how Len Wein and Dave Cockrum practically rebooted the X-Men franchise with this comic. And thanks to a True Believers reprint of this story, I was able to finally read it.

INTERVIEW: MIKE MIGNOLA’S Humble Beginnings at MARVEL COMICS | ACG Vlog 018
In the early days of his career American comic book artist Mike Mignola worked for Marvel Comics, making superhero comics.
But frankly, Mignola, who later created HELLBOY, didn’t like doing superhero comics. He was much more interested in drawing monsters and mythological creatures. In this interview Mignola tells how he got started as a cartoonist at Marvel Comics.
Classic Jack Kirby Art from Tales to Astonish | ACG Vlog 16
I recently picked up this True Believers comic from 2017. That year Marvel celebrated a 100 years of Jack Kirby (1917-1994). Kirby was one of the co-creators of the Marvel Universe.
Together with Stan Lee he created a lot of characters. He was also a very prolific artist. And yeah, I made a mistake in the video saying Kirby died in 2015, because that should’ve been 1994.
