Writer’s Note: My apologies to the dozens(and that may be generous)loyal readers that haven’t had a entry in three weeks. Unfortunately the last few weeks have been filled with surprise job interviews, surprise doctor’s appointment’s and pre-planned trips across the country and unfortunately,The Re-Collector had to suffer.

In the future,I will do my best to alert my readers when I need to take time off in the future and not bite off more than I can chew. On with the blog!

What I Remember:

I was reminded of this books existence after watching Guardians of the Galaxy, I was filled with the energy that a comics fan has after seeing a great comic book film with a non-comics fan and was frantically explaining to my wife the concept of Thanos and the Infinity Gems and how as a kid I had a Silver Surfer book, where the Reed and Sue Richards brawled under the possession of the gems. My wife was less than interested, but I had to re-collect the book
