Special Bonus Feature! Magneto and Titanium Man animation. Paul McCartney and Wings.
Greetings, pop-pickers. I have nothing vital to do right now, so I thought that, for no reason other than that I like it, I'd post the above work which is an animated fan video for Wings' legendary track Magneto and Titanium Man - from the album Venus and Mars - which we all know is still the best song ever written that involves the Crimson Dynamo and a long, tall bank on the main street. I am especially taken by the sight of the late Jimmy McCulloch with a snooker ball for a head.
Potential further listening:

Charlton Comics' Yang #5 - Video Review.
Grab your shurikens, Grandma! It's time for my latest video review as I take a look at Charlton Comics' stab at leaping on the early 1970s' Kung Fu craze.
Looking at the covers on the Grand Comics Database, it would appear that my household at one point possessed half the issues of Yang that ever existed.
Clearly it must have made a greater impression than all logic might suggest it would have done.

Strange Tales #120. Is there a doctor in the house?
Here it comes - hot off the chopping board - my latest video review.
This time, I tackle the first Dr Strange story I ever read, as the psychic surgeon makes a house call and battles his least likely foe yet.
It was originally published in Strange Tales #120 but, as those who've encountered the first ever post on this blog will know, I originally read it in somewhat more British circumstances.
Now, at last, after over forty years, I revisit the tale I shall always associate with an electricity meter.
Don't ask me why I always associate it with an electricity meter. Even after forty years, some tales are too dread to tell.

Amazing Spider-Man #6 - The Lizard video review.
I always insist you can't go wrong with purple and green.
And issue #6 of The Amazing Spider-Man certainly didn't, using those colours to give us one of my favourite Steve Ditko Spidey covers of them all, as we first encountered that swamp-spawned terror of the Everglades; the Lizard.
Thus it is that I must bring you my video review of that very issue.
Can anything match the terror of Curt Connors' reptilian alter-ego?
Only my attempts at video editing, which always give the impression that I've got stuck into it with a meat cleaver.

The origin of the Fantastic Four - video review.
Yesterday may have been Pancake Day but today is an even more epoch-making one, as I upload my second video to Sheffield's 38th greatest living blog.
I must admit it was a troubled shoot, stricken by a temperamental star, noisy wildlife and lighting difficulties. But, like a trooper, I battled on and finished it.
So, here it is, a motion picture that's bound to go down in cinema history and be spoken of in the same breath as the likes of Tank Girl and Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

Avengers #4 - Captain America Lives again, video review.
There are many things in life that people were never meant to do. I've always instinctively known that I was never meant to appear on television.
Fortunately for the world, despite having once been offered the chance to be interviewed by Sophie Aldred, I've determinedly honoured that commitment to anonymity.
However, even I'm not oblivious to the existence of that terrible instrument of terror that men call YouTube. Verily it be filled with people giving their thoughts on all things known to man.
Therefore, in my never-ending quest to find new things to do, I've decided to review this comic via the medium of video, which is either me flinging the gauntlet down to other comics bloggers to enter a whole new field of self-expression as well, or it's just a man putting on a silly hat.
Whichever it is, here's my epic video review:
