Didn't Carl Barks do some similar stuff?

I couldn't turn down another nice copy of this one. Wonderful, wonderful story & art.

Doesn't look like Gustavson to me. The characters are too rigid and the faces a little too cartoony.

Scrooge, I loved the Sniper. Just FYI.

. According to these guys, I'm just screwed. Although I do know how to use an apostrophe. What's a P.K.? And "High Fulfillment Sophisticated Swine"? Isn't that a joke? Sports nuts? That has to be a joke.

Collin, I take it yours has the teachers' wrap?

I recently found that mine will tone down the colors if I use a dark background. I get "truer" colors on the brights if I use a white background. And definitely better scans if they're naked (not through the bag).

I'm telling ya, it took me forever to find one with the right colors. Although Jeffro's looks like it may be just the scanner.

There are some books that I've really struggled to find with the right colors (i.e. not faded or tanned). This is one of them. It turns up from time to time, but never with the colors I want. I found this at a local show today and snapped it up.

I also finished out a trade for this book. A friend of mine just happened across this. No interest on his part. It was a CGC 8.5 W with no other notation. He didn't have it halfway out of the box when I said, "That's a Salida, I want it." When I opened the slab, it was like a pressure release of Salida smell. Tears welled up in my eyes, the book cried, my scanner said "Ay, carumba!".......

That's a great issue. RQ Sale has a place in the comic kingdom all to himself. His run on Combat Casey was . This should probably be a post all by itself, but I just can't wait. I'm soooo excited about this book. There's a local quarterly show down here that never has anything of much note. I usually walk out with something just for the effort of going. Today, I found the #1 Atlas book on my list. There was another book I reeeeaaally wanted, but not at 6X guide (!) (not an Atlas book). I think this is one of the top 3-5 Heath covers, and I've never seen a decent copy.

Wow x 2!

Flee, I truly enjoy your posts. Just great stuff. Please don't stop.

Awesome! My favorite Senorita Rio cover (for a couple of reasons )! Reason 1: Reason 2: I like it because the guy in the background is about to get clubbed with a giant ant!

Nice Dan, but you've always been as giddy as a schoolgirl tee hee....

Rick, that Science 1 would look much nicer next to this one.

That's beautiful. First a Church copy and now this? Someone ( ) keeps posting really nice HG books that make me tempted to get some myself.

Ain't that the truth.

Very nice. I love the shading. In retrospect, Hitler really kind of ruined the name Adolf for everyone else. That ! There must have been some angry mothers a few years after he came along.

I was finally able to get a nice copy of this book. One of my favorite Raboy books. Wonderful colors on this copy. I'm giddy like a schoolgirl.

I did a little something similar for the VCC, and liked it so much I made another from the GA, and another for my top 25 (although I'm not sure if this really is my top 25).

Very nice! I haven't even been able to find one that presents well.

.....do do do DO do do DO do do do do DO do do DO do I like big 5 and I cannot lie.....you other geeks can't deny....

I'd be reluctant to. FH isn't known for good paper and that's a lot of spine roll to "fix". I think you run a pretty good risk of splitting the interior. Thanks for the info. I'm not trying to increase value here but want to "experience" having a book pressed. I'll probably bring the book to Chicago Con and have Kenny look it over there to see what he thinks. I'll check the paper at the spine but it's better than most FH I have. My copy of Fight 46 IIRC is as you describe: the complete book is splitting in half at the spine. This is not the case of this copy of # 20. We'll see. The whiter the paper the lower the risk. It's probably not the best book to experiment with. Us white boys need a quote like that. There's "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice". Maybe "The whiter the bread, the more time spent on the internet"?
