I still have that one. After months of playing D & D I bought it thinking that my friends would play but none of them wanted to learn a new game. I think that this was the time my friends discovered alcohol. Anyone remember what TSR stood for?

Thank you for the report. Caveat Emptor (sp?) Let the buyer beware..

I really like this show so far. I have always been a fan of the "after the end of the world' type shows. I just wish I was buying new comics when TWD came out. I have not read any of the Walking Dead comics yet I thought the scene on the roof played by the handcuffed guy was well done. You could just feel the emotions. okay spoiler alert, read no further if you haven't watched the latest episode. As soon as he was first handcuffed there I thought to myself "they wouldn't" and here with the latest episode they did infer that he cut his own hand off. Sigh.. Anyone that has ever cut anything metal with a hacksaw should have thought of a better way to solve that situation. The handcuffs most likely are of a hardened steel or titanium so the blade could not cut through them, but the ductwork support that he was handcuffed to would have been an easy five minute cut with a hacksaw. I knew it wasn't pipe as it flexed when he kicked it. Air duct for make-up air units and ventilation systems is made of thinner stuff then liquid holding pipe. (sorry maybe I an reading too much into this but the company I work for makes and installs a version of this ductwork). In the same situation I would have kicked the duct until it broke, then reef on the support until it broke free from the roof. If the duct support rod was too difficult he should have cut the nut off the end of the threaded rod and been out of there. Now granted in a panic-type situation he wouldn't have been thinking too clearly but to me he looked like that type of guy that would know a little bit about tools and mechanical things. All in all a pretty good show and I will try to not let little things like this bug me.

And here are a few more. US12 [/img] [/img] US13 [/img] [/img] US14 [/img] I realize that my copies do not look as nice as other ones I have seen here as they were well read by me in my younger years but I thought I would post them anyways.

Hi All, I have only read through about a third of this thread and I intend on finishing it as soon as possible. Please keep on posting. Ok for my very first post of some of my comics I thought I would start here since the Disney comics are my favorites and it is only fitting that I post my favorite character. So here are a few that I have had since the early 80's. Please forgive the sizing differences as I am using a camera and am kind of new at the photo posting thing. I am not sure why the MS photo editor program puts the corner cut-offs in but if anyone knows how to get rid of that feature please let me know.

Many things. Too many. I mainly collect Carl Barks' works. I stared in awe at my pc screen when you posted the picture of your painting by Carl Barks..coolness. I own the hard cover reprints like Uncle Scrooge McDuck, His Life and Times (no. 1416 of 5000, Feb ’82), Uncle Scrooge in color no. 193 of 750, the ten slipcase 30 volume set and the Abbeville Press oversized HC books. I was never able to buy or find the originals so I quenched my thirst on those books. It was a lot of cash for me at the time but I had to have them. My second love of comics would be the Archie comics. Just ask my twelve year old daughter, Veronica, who is also an Archie fan. Yep I named her after a comic character. I liked the name so I used it. Wifey got to name my first born so it was my turn on the second one. I do have a bunch of Archie Comics from the early to mid 50’s that my parents had bought for me at a farm auction 25 or so years ago, along with the late 60's to 90's comics I bought new. When I was first able to, I would buy every Disney, Archie, and then horror comics that I could find. I have many of the black and white independents that came out during the mid-80’s glut. Much of it was good reading, to me anyways. I read mainly DC super heroes in the early 80's and collected them new until 1998 when the comic shop I frequented closed. With a couple of munchkins at home I had to cut back on some spending so out went new comics. I am also a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and I have a majority of his books in paperback which I read in my high school days. It was cool seeing all of the pictures of the original HC’s. Last spring I was on an across state trip and I picked up the book on tape ( MP3 player) of A princess or Mars and after 25 years I still enjoyed it. I was worried that I would not as it had been so long since I had read it. I have many other things I have collected over the years, which I may tell at another time. My ID, ThreeSeas is what I picked as it looks better then CCC which is based on my favorite hobbies: Comics, Coins, and (muscle) Cars. Keep the posts coming, BZ and everyone, they are a joy to read. Thanks, Scott

Incredible, amazing. I am not sure how else to begin this, my first post here. I followed a link to this thread from a lesser used forum on another site. I had started from the first post and finally read through it in about a month, then for the last couple of weeks I have been exploring this site. To see all of these Golden Age treasures that I had thought had been lost to the winds of time has really given me a passion for Comics again. (I stopped buying new comics on a regular basis in 1998). I myself have a few Golden Age Comics which I will now have to dig out and look at again and maybe post a couple of scans myself. I don’t want to ramble on too much here. I just want to say Thank You, Bangzoom for starting this thread and sharing your collection(s) and also for the many others who have posted here. When I get a chance I will post next in the “So what do you look like??” thread. It may take me a few days. Oh, and Flee, your stuff cracks me up. Scott aka ThreeSeas
