But I wanted to post something before 2026 (my oh my) and something that would be appropriate for the season.

		<description><![CDATA[Reading comic books has become my favorite hobby over the past 3 years or so. Whenever possible I collect comics in omnibus form. An omnibus, for those not in the know, is an oversized hardcover containing the full run (sometimes broken up over multiple volumes) of a particular series. Many comic readers view the omnibus &#8230; <a href="http://rvgfanatic.com/wordpress/index.php/phantom-stranger-omnibus/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Phantom Stranger Omnibus</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month The Phantom comic strip series turned 89 (!) years old. Debuting in newspapers on February 17, 1936, The Phantom holds the distinct honor of being the world&#8217;s first crimefighter. Yes, even predating Superman (by two years in fact). The Phantom comic continues its run even to this day in the year 2025. &#8230; <a href="http://rvgfanatic.com/wordpress/index.php/the-phantom-dailies-volume-1/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Phantom Dailies Volume 1</span></a>]]></description>
