2016 Comic Challenge 249 New Kids on the Block Chillin' #06

TITLE-New Kids on the Block Chillin' #06
PUBLISHER-Harvey Comics

Back in the early 90s NKOTB were hot. So hot that they got at least 2 comic series from Harvey Comics. About a year ago I found the above issue at a junkstore. Paid the buck the guy wanted for it and tossed it into a box.

The first story starts off with all the New Kids out by the pool Chillin'. And they start talking about what it would have been like to live in the Stone age. So we get a story that is a mixture of New Kids plus Flintstones.

The second story has the New Kids over in Russia.Shit happens and they end up performing in the Russian ballet.

The third story has Danny in a comic shop. And he starts imagining what if he was a super hero. Dyno Danny is his hero name and I haven't seen a super hero this lame since the 60s Mighty Crusaders line.

The final story is a two page about Joey going to the library. And of course all the females freak out.But they can't say anything since you are suppose to be quiet in the library.

I know I am not the target audience for this comic. But even then it is super lame. The art is generic. The stories read like stuff Sid&Marty Krofft turned down.

New Kids on the Block Chillin' #06 gets a PASS!

This is one of the few VHS I got even though I have the DVD. Last year the local library started a year long sale. And one day while I was there I saw they had a stack of VHS up for sale. And mixed in with piles of Veggietales and Bibleman tapes was a copy of Kids. 

Mostly known now as the film that launched the careers of Rosario Dawson and Chloe Sevigny. This was Larry Clarks first and best film. Set over on full day. It shows in graphic detail what happens to a group of street kids.

Now that I found my copy I might end up watching it soon. I know I threw it in when I bought it. Just to make sure it worked. But I doubt I have watched it fully on VHS since I first rented it years ago from Video Showboat.

Got this Electronic Press Kit VHS in a trade a few years back. Tapes like this were sent around to video stores to help hype up the home video debuts of films. 

I have no idea if what is on this tape has appeared anywhere's else. The only copies of the Tremors films I have on DVD are all bare bones.

Really there isn't much to say about this VHS. So if anyone reading this wants it,let me know. I am sure we can work out a deal.

I have noticed lots of music video based VHS never made the jump over to DVD. And knowing that even now the New Kids have a huge fan base,when I found this VHS I had to get it. Planning on quickly selling it. Which never happened. It got put away and forgotten.

The tape has 4 music videos. And mixed between them some BTS stuff on the New Kids.I doubt I ever watch this tape again. But I love that front cover.So this is gonna go on display on one of my many shelves.
