Welcome to my approximately five-hundredth blog, PowerRecord.blogspot.com(someone else has already claimed, and done nothing with, PowerRecords.blogspot.com--hmph)!
As anyone whose read any my blogs knows, I have a passion for all the various comic-related stuff I grew up with that knows no bounds, whether it be Aquaman, b/w magazines, digest comics, treasury comics; all of it. The wonderfully fun and exciting Power Records--both the book and record ones and just the record ones--were really the last big part of my collection that I had yet do anything blog-related with. I had thought about it, but not having the audio element made the whole thing seem a tad pointless.
Luckily, my BFF(Blogging Friend Forever) Neal Snow told me he had about ten of the Power Records audio tracks converted to mp3s, so if I ever wanted to do it...
Of course, that did it. So I opened this blog, for anyone who loves these things as much as I do, and if they want they can sit back, hit the "Play" button, and read along like I used to, Sunday afternoons next to our record player, pile of comics and Slurpee by my side. I hope you have as much fun listening as I do putting these things up here.
Since scanning every page of these books is fairly time and labor intensive, I don't have any set schedule for this blog; stuff will get posted whenever I can get another one done! I don't know yet if I can get audio files for some of the other, more obscure Power Records(Holo-Man? Jaws of the Shark?) but at the very least I will post the superb jacket art they always had.
And now, enter a world where the action comes alive...as you read!

I think the reason I gravitate towards you is because you're just a bit more hardcore than me about this stuff.
And that's saying a lot, it's Saturday night and scanning pictures of people in their underwear currently....
Looking forward to this!
Fellers-
LOTS of files of such stuff over at the Power Records Yahoo Group.
Good luck with the latest obsession, Rob! I know it'll become a "go-to" spot on the subject.
(Personally, I don't know how I feel about stories told with audio...)

Rob... i just stumbled upon your blog and was DELIGHTED to have read along with the Batman's Staked Cards. I have not heard or seen this in 20 years. My copy came with a bunch of pages missing (which didn't stop me from listening) so this is the very first I have experienced it fully. Wonderful Work!!! Man... Conan, the APES... my wife already told me that I have to stop listening tonight... hahahah time for headphones. thanks again!!!
