What does a person do after helping launch a broadcasting school, serve as its director while successfully running an Alternative music record store for 29 years? Andrew Chinnici sees himself as still having many choices that he’s enthusiastically ready to embrace when the time is right. OK, so a little history here……Andrew Chinnici (AKA DJ Chris Andrews) started to broadcast from BOCES on Sunday evenings from 10 PM to 1 AM. As “luck” (as Andrew calls it) would have it, the office of the director of BOCES was directly across from his broadcasting room.

I was having a tough time due to time constraints pulling together an interview on Trading Cards. In the wee morning hours, it occurred to me I could probably write reasonably enough on the subject, so I decided I would interview myself. Now for those know me well, talking to myself is a natural thing so it seems to reason that I have finally come up with a logical purpose for this talent…doing my own interview! AND, as luck would have it, I was available! So, shall we do this? BU: Thank you for being here with us! LM: No problem. I was already here, so … Continue reading TRADING CARDS
Bio: Jay Katz, a comic book collector since 1983 and is the owner/creator of InvestComics LLC since 2005. InvestComics LLC was originally a magazine in 2005 before the website launched in 2005. What once was a shocking event is just a another shrug of the shoulders these days. Back in the winter of 1982, writer/illustrator Jim Starlin put together a masterpiece of a story in a form of a Marvel Graphic Novel. Not only was the concept of the format different regarding a ‘comic book’ here, the story was groundbreaking. The prestige format along with the oversize pages was a clear indication Marvel was about to change … Continue reading The death of a superhero
It was Friday the 13, August of 1982, when this fourteen year old along with a couple of friends first went to a Midnight screening of Dawn of The Dead (1979). Though Dawn wasn’t my first exposure to Mr. Romero and his zombies (that had happened in the 70’s when I stumbled upon a showing of Night of The Living Dead on the local PBS station) it would be one of those touchstones in my life when I learned that a horror picture could do much more than provide chills and mayhem. “They’re Coming to Get You Barbara.” The Zombie as Harbinger of Social Justice. Romero’s … Continue reading George A. Romero and the Birth of the Modern Zombie
