The town is bustling with special events from ice carving, winter sports, outdoor barbecues, and huge sales at the local shops including a local comic store and TWO antique malls FULL of comic books!

Great Video love the channel
Whoa, at 2:50 I spotted the original Airfix model plane kits in the clear bags with header - so many happy memories from my childhood building those kits and painting them in completely inaccurate colours using gloss house paints.
The first series of What If has some great stories too (and a few duds I should point out).
Felix The Cat is a fellow Australian, originating from the studio of Aussie cartoonist and animator Pat Sullivan in 1919. His meeow has a distinctly Australian twang, or so I like to think.
The DC album seems to be a rarity, never seen that one before.
Thank you for supporting Punk Taco!
Great video!
Fun footage, and the music background is fun too. seeing you and your son hanging out together is the best.
The footage makes me want to visit Putnam. I would love to poke around in those antiques shops.
(That’s pretty funny about the record albums). Happy hunting.
That’s awesome to be able to share something you love with the ones you love. Double the love is a wonderful thing! ❤
Mike , as ALWAYS I love your videos !!! And of course it's great to see you bringing Jack along for the "hunt", I love Putnam, but now that I live in Florida, I don't get to stop by there too often. Hopefully I can swing back up North some time in the fall to see my brothers and I can hit up the local shops.
$15 for 50 now that is LMC! Great pick Mike, always good to spend quality time with family.
She has a secret comic collection that dawfs yours!! Just imagining her going, "Awwwe he wants to start collecting too. I can't wait till I can show him my Action 1." 😂😂😂😂
Great content as always!
Fun video as always. Love that your wife had the WW album in her record collection. But next time, save her some agony and keep your greasy fingers off those grooves! lol
That record is awesome
Loved the video Mike. The footage of the town etc., fascinated the wife & me. We love the USA 😊. Its great to share a passion & your time with your son (or daughter). I wonder what else Mrs Mike has got stashed away in your basement 😂
Putnam is definitely one of my new favorite places to go now. Lots of books all over town! And I am usually hungry so there is plenty of restaurants! Great combo
Great show thanks ❤
Nice pick ups especially the $15.00 dollars 50 comics mystery box which are nice, but the highlight of this video to me are the DC vinyl records you and your wife can listen to together which is cool, it's nice that she surprised you with her own DC Wonder Woman vinyl record with you.
Too bad no X-Man Iceman ice sculpture.
Nice review.
You can see you were apprehensive over the mystery box, but at least there was some interesting and familiar stuff.
Love the frozen toilet
Kudos to you for always supporting local creators.
cool haul bro 😎
That Wonder Woman LP is solid gold
Awesome video. Your really captured Putnam, CT glory as I remember being in that town when I was younger living in CT. Always awesome to see you sharing your passion with your son as well. Sweet pick ups to boot! Keep up the great content mike ❤
I love hunting for comics with my daughter. She is the one that got me back into collecting. She is 21 now and we have so much fun hunting together!
Thank for sharing
I hate asking the employees at antique malls for help with the display cases if there's tacks of comics in them. The last time the lady I bothered couldn't just let me flip through them quickly, she had to hand me a small stack at a time. I flipped through them quickly handed them back and had to wait for more as she fumbled around with them. I felt so rushed and part of the enjoyment is finding that 1 book you need. I just wanted to be done I guess that's why I don;'t ask for help in these cases. Prices can be to high for what is there anyway. Nice pick-ups you got, love the record!👍
That comic shop looks rad!
Love how you and your son both have a passion for comics. The BBQ looked like the best pickup of the day!
😋
I really enjoyed the video. I like that you continue to support local artists and the fun of opening the mystery box. It reminds me of the fun of opening a pack of cards.
One of your BEST videos! Chock full of good, wholesome content. ❤
I do the same thing when it comes to supporting creators. I wish you would of played some of the album. When I was younger I would listen to the radio late at night when they would showcase mystery stories vocal stories with the sound effects
An excellent show. I really enjoyed the ice sculptures. I had that Spider woman comic but sold it off. The Captain marvel comic was a terrific looking cover. And if you could send me a pulled pork sandwich that would be great lol.
CHERISH THE FATHER SON TIME.... IT GOES BY WAY TO FAST... THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO..
Really liked the Comic shop👏👏👏
Might have to get those for my grandson and grand daughter cool !
You had me at brisket and pulled pork!
Super cool event in Putnam! I’ve been wanting to go to that area to hunt for comics ever since you first showed them. And that vinyl is super cool I’ve never seen anything like it but will keep a lookout for my own collection!
Awesome video! Looks like you guys had a great time at the festival. I would love to check that out one day. I am currently collecting the spider woman series. I love the cover artwork on all of them. That record was definitely the deal of the day. I would’ve picked that up also. Keep up the great job!! 😎
It's always cool to see you and Lil Lunch Money go out together on the hunt. I never had any of the superhero records. The only specialty record I had was a Star Trek one, and later the record of Return of the Jedi. Pretty sweet haul, Mike. Definitely some great reading material in that mystery box. Batman Family is definitely worth a read.
Yes... Women are mysterious!!....
I like the jazz traveling music.
Love watching your show relaxing content it's fun when you see some comics that I own when you are going through the comic boxes 😀
That sandwich looked amazing !!
Damn those boxes are giving me “a fool and his money are soon parted” vibes
great video , you' ve captured the fun of what's it like to be a kid loving comic books again.
That looks like it was a fun day. Nice pickup on Spiderwoman #1
Who knows, maybe your wife is a bigger comic fan than you? Thanks for another great video, I am going to be 1st time father on June 25th & it is always cool to hear/see your kids interests in comics. Maybe one day my little girl will have an interest in comics also. Have a great day!
Great video Brother. Keep up Your super duper work with Your Family and Business. From Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍❤️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️✨️📚📚📚📚📚✨️✨️💯
That comic book record is awesome!
Wow! Loved all the footage! Ice sculptures were beautiful! 20% off savings was a sweetheart of a deal! I really liked the mystery box! You just never know what you can find!
Thanks again seeing your son was also a highlight! Tell him to sneak in more!
😂that’s funny ! 20 yrs and you never knew 😂
Cool pick-ups especially to do it with your kiddo! I don’t know if that BBQ sauce on your lip was meant to be a subliminal message after that pulled pork sandwich or not, but after my wife saw it, guess what we had for dinner…😂😂😂😂
Haha happy someone noticed that, I left it there for the first take as a joke but you could barely see it, nice catch!
Awesome video Mike that record is sweet. And that festival looked like a fun time
LOL love the music, feel like I am watching "Mister Roger's Neighborhood"!
Haha it was so loud I had to pick something and decided the friendly neighborhood music was fitting
That's some good lunch $$$
Congrats on finding out something new about your wife. Love that she knew exactly where that record was in the basement. I've known mine for over 20yrs as well and she keeps me on my toes too!
That record looks cool and being a JLA fan is even cooler. Alas I no longer have a turntable. Perhaps you can give a review about it after giving it a listen.
Great video with you and your son!!
I went to Putnam this weekend and J&S had the best prices. Then yesterday I ran into you at Josh's show at 7th Wave. It was nice chatting and sharing my love of Dave Stevens with your friend. Love the channel!
Thanks so much and it was great meeting you!
I've heard of that fest but never been. I'm definitely going to check it out. Can't believe the amount of meat they put on that sandwich!
Awesome video reminded me of running around with my boys when they was young. Those are times, I’ll treasure forever.
I wish we had antique shops like you do! I’m in Oklahoma and we have one in town. I have other collections besides comic books…hot wheels, A&W Rootbeer and old cameras. I could spend hours in those antique shops. Lol
Great video! I wish my dad would have been into comics growing up.
Looked like an awesome day! That comic book record was a great fine! And for less than $16 bucks, heck yeah! I’d buy that every time!
I've got a booth on the mezzanine at Antiques Marketplace. Sold quite a few Power Record comic book 45's there. Still have my Capt. America book/record and some Marvel Treasury Editions for sale. Sold my entire comic collection to Steve at Jeremiah's. Nice guy. I missed Fire & Ice this year, glad you had a great day.
Always enjoy all the knowledge. Have to say the start of the video reminded me of a Hallmark movie. Pretty cool ice sculptures.
That company, Power Records, also put put a series in '75 of comic books with the comic narrated on a record. They did Marvel Spotlight #2, Man-thing #5, and various others. That's a cool find! I also love that you go comic hunting with your son. My kids are too young to be engaged with it yet, but I'm looking forward to the day. Great video, man!
Best intro ever Mike, so funny and well edited; you both giggling about it too.
Love the stalls/stores, there was so much I would have loved to picking up when you were flipping through/filming the shelves. Cool to meet the creators and getting a LMC personalised remarqued book. That DC record is super cool too and nice to see it triggered your wifes memory too, making it a special famiy themed show.
Cool! I live in Putnam County, Florida.
Nice vid so far!
You guys eat a pull pork sandwich that big and get more energy. I eat one and need a nap...heh
I get that. I took my son last weekend when I went hunting. He found 2 Lego Minifigs he wanted and we had a blast.
My favorite pickup was actually the record
Can you recommend any graphic novels/comics for a 7 year old? Is Punk Taco good for that age?
Hi there! Yeah it’s a good book for a 7 year old, my daughter liked it though it has some social commentary that works for adults and older kids as well. My daughter is 8 and LOVES the graphic novels by Raina Telgemeier, definitely worth checking out!
Was that record put out by a company called Peter Pan Records? When I was a kid, my father knew the Canadian distributor for those albums and I had a bunch of them...a couple of different Superman ones, a Batman one, a Flintstones and a few others but I don't remember the one you have.
No it was published by National Periodical Publications
Love it that kid likes hobby! What are his favorite titles?
My wife had a few comics put back after I married her and a Batman record.
He’s a big Spider-Man fan
Just got back from my local antique shop, picked up an ASM 129 for $720! I'd say it's in the 4.5-5.0 range.
Nice score!
It's always amazing when we find new things out about our wives after 20 years of marriage.
*in Jameson voice* "I DONT WANT TO SEE COMICS, GET ME MORE FOOTAGE OR BARBECUE BRISKET!"
Hey Mike! Wondering what your strategy is if you come across a store with over 10-15 long boxes of comics where they aren't in any particular order? How do you go about sifting through them?
That’s tough, if I’m limited on time I go through really fast first to get an idea of what’s in there then concentrated on the interesting ones. It really just comes down to how much time you have. If you have all the time in the world just go through them all!
Maybe she has a Fantastic Four 1 hidden back 😅
Mike I'm first
Very cool to have a book created by a 5 year old. Is the story any good?
Yeah it’s a decent story with quite a bit of morality
Don't grade that book - just get a top loader. I'm afraid that you are starting to get a graded book fetish as I see the number of cgc books growing on your wall.
