If useless information were dynamite, I would be a weapon of mass destruction. I will mostly be posting items from my collection of comic book and Pulp magazine images. Other stuff and nonsense will no doubt ensue.

Front page from The Lakeside Library series Vol. 2 #28, titled “Christmas Stories” by Charles Dickens, published by Donnelley, Loyd & Co. The page features the opening of A Christmas Carol in Prose, beginning with “Stave One—Marley’s Ghost.” An engraved illustration dominates the center of the page, showing Ebenezer Scrooge sitting at his fireplace as the ghost of Jacob Marley appears, in chains. There is a single candle on a table between them.
"I know him! Marley's ghost!"
A Christmas Carol in the very rare Lakeside Library v2 #28, 1876. Almost certainly a bootleg. Donnelley, Loyd & Co. was a predecessor company of printing giant R.R. Donnelley, now the largest commercial printer in North America. #phantomsfriday
