    I agree it is a great time to get access to material which would take years to get. Two highly recommended purchases for GA/SA collector would be "Monsters" VoL 1 and just released Vo2  which completes the set . Every Kirby cover, story in chronological order...in  jumbo Marvel Monsterbus size...the color and repo are amazing as well a great price on amazon. Second I am reading the Adam Strange Omnibus which is just outstanding in the large format. That is one advantage today....of the course the fun of the "hunt" is gone, but it is a great time to get the best comic book material ever created at affordable prices.

    Thanks Mitch! 

    I just ordered both of those Kirby Monster Volumes. Too good to pass up. Publishing all of those stories in one place is a superb idea.

    I'm tired and misspell like a drunken orangutan.

    What a great thread! Thanks for all the memories and stories.

    Robot Man, I was at a pool party at this years SDCC 2017 but it wasn't as cool as the one you were at years before. Would of loved to of met those creators. 

    Fandom has changed sure, and it's not like it was but in some ways it's gotten better. The books are still out there to be collected and discussed and there is even more content out there being released every year. It's never been a better time to find whatever you want online or flip through multiple auctions and hang out here on these boards..."the comic book mothership" as I like to call it. Here you basically have a virtual convention whenever you want it. So many great boardies I have met here and at shows over the years.

    For artists and writers: I'll also add that there are so many options today for creators to publish and bring their work to the market. It's not just Marvel and DC anymore. If you have the vision, plan and time to execute a story, you can get your book made and out into the world on your own. 

    I just love comics so friggin much! 

    It's a wonderful hobby that has a bright future.

    I was the one who supplied them with a copy of that interview. Their site crashed and they lost their original. Someone from Metro came on here asking and I sent it. Got a thank you from Vincent!

    Small world and what a treasure you gave back. Thanks to you the world still has that interview.

    You just got ten times cooler in my book and that's saying something as I've got you highly ranked already. 

     Thanks Jayman! ?

    Here's a few favorites I've got in my reading stacks. That HOM has a killer story in it. I'll make a seperate post on that.

    Ghost Stories 1 is a classic! That and 'Tales From The Tomb" are two of my all time favorite horror comics. They are very different compared with the other issues Dell put out. 

    Happy Reading horror heads! Halloween is right around the corner. ?

    I haven't been by this thread in awhile. Some great books being shared as always. 

    For those interested, a lost Bernie Wrightson interview has been posted by Metropolis"s Vincent over on the radio website: http://www.comiczoneradio.com/

    it was nice to hear Bernie again even though the interview was from 2008. He was a pillar of the horror comic world. Thanks Bernie! We miss you bud.

    Beauty books. ? That's considered high grade for precode horror. Fantastic Fears is a superb title. Lots of great stories in the run. I was watching the auction. I picked up a book as well. Will post when I receive it. 

    Congrats and happy reading! (If ya end up cracking them out ? )

    You are a gutsy man for removing that beauty from a 7.0 case, and submitting it to CGC.  That said, It sure looks nice in that CGC case, especially the confirmation of the White pages.  A stellar outcome....    

    Beautiful book. That is one to be proud of. And White pages too! Marvels first family looking great. Enjoy. ?

    I will have a table at San Diego with some of my original art, merchandise and copies of my Korgi books from IDW/Top Shelf (including a new release debuting at the show).

    Here's where I'm at:

    Artist Alley BB - 10 

    I will also be doing some signings at the IDW booth and I'm on a panel on Sunday Morning about Kids and Comics at 10am.

    Hope to see some boardies out there. Its going to be a blast! ?
