Red Hook

No, just saying that Grampa remembers buying that particular issue when it first hit the newsstand. Sorry for the confusion, amigo. BTW....it was really exciting when all of a sudden, Neal Adams started doing X-Men. Good grief. It went from a have-to-buy-cause-I-buy-the-whole-lineup to a must-buy-because-that-art-is-phenomenal. Going from Steranko covers - back down to Barry Smith - and back up to Adams was like riding a roller coaster.

BIOTS. (Bought it off the stand).

I'm sure he wouldn't settle for second. Steranko and Adams? Meet Egos the Living Planets!

Good, but not as good as the Steranko covers.

Yeah, Classic Thor Pose aka CTP.

I hate it when an artist doesn't bother to put anything dramatic into the cover art. WOW!

Should I post it? I wouldn't do it without your permission......

Someone should start a thread...."Best Single Post Rant on the Boards Ever!" Belladonna's attempted nuking of Nik stands out as a contender. That still boggles the mind when I read it. WOW!

Eventually, everyone does.

Gawd, that's eye-catching!

In the early days of BBSing and chats (like ddial) the phone companies had some pretty high per minute charges on anything considered "long distance", but no line charges on things that were considered "local". Call packs were a pricing scheme that the phone company used to charge a higher monthly fee to expand your "local" coverage and thus eliminate per minute charges. BBS and chat users frequently signed up for these as it was then possible to leave yourself connected for hours without worry about mounting phone bills. Some of the bigger chat boards actually got giant call packs for themselves and set up systems so that you would dial in on your modem, connect, then disconnect and the BBS would call you back and make the connection - thus riding for free on their call pack rather than on your per minute charges. Of course, this rampant use of the phone system for very long connections (way in excess of voice call averages) both to post and to download files soon brought the phone company's attention around. This quickly lead to the elimination of call packs. But it was cool for awhile. Thanks. I never got into it that deep. Interesting workaround though.

I have no idea what those are. Explain please?

You had internet in the 80's? You really were a trend setter! BTW i agree, would love our own OT forum. It was dialup. Started doing bulletin board systems (not unlike message boards are today but they had download areas too) in 1980. 300baud to start. Then jumped to 2400! Blazing fast for those days. Of course, this was all before Windows so everything was faster. Now the downloads were slower but the files were a heck of a lot smaller. I was posting on "The Well" back in around 1988, I remember. Whole 'nother animal. That was out of SF as I recall. You must know a bit about that Pov.

Proabably. But I liked the pictures in the Sears catalog even better.

I always thought Nancy Drew was a better read.

How about less chatter, and more scans!! Gawd!

Thanks! (thumbs u

Acquired along with the Superboy #140 previously posted: most likely a Green River without a date stamp. There are a few of those. I'd never seen this particular cover before.

It was fun while it lasted... which was less than 24 hours. Ghost Town has knocked me out of first. But I didn't really deserve to be there in the first place. Hey, if you're gonna be knocked down by someone, it's cool that it was Ghost Town. Mr. Town takes no prisoners.

Thank you, Mr. Evans....

This looks to be an undocumented Green River. (thumbs u Calling Red Hook! Calling Red Hook! Please verify date and style! No need.....just check the website....it's already there.

Sweet book! I love that cover!
