I kinda like these vague opinion-based notes. "Poorly pressed" "Manhandled" "It stinks" "I just simply don't like this comic"

Make sure you say hi.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the Thorn collection. I got the hardcover, which is a really nice production. I had low expectations for the strips themselves because Jeff has been so down on them for so long but they're really good. The art is way more advanced than I thought they would be considering his experience level as a cartoonist at that point, the jokes are funny, the humor a little edgy, the narrative is engaging. I dare say I might even like them better than the comic series and I like the comics a lot.

I've had a High Value sitting in Grading/QC for 3 days. They must be QCing so hard.

Pop 15 or GTFO.

I voted. Although Popular Teen-Agers 15, which isn't on this poll, is Cole's best romance cover and everyone who disagrees is wrong. Not just about that but life in general.

Ah, gotcha. From a direct selling perspective I keep my expectations low and usually just send them small batches of books I got to read and don't feel like piecemealing out so I'm happy with whatever credit I can get back.

I too have noticed that grading has somehow gotten even tighter than it was, which was already ultra conservative. At this point I mostly just shrug at their assigned grade and price consignments according to what I had them graded at.

No-a they do-a not.

It worked!

Thanks for looking.

These two are tough. Not my copies.

I'm probably the primary contributor to that. Vicious Circle is the first one that comes to mind as impossible. I've been looking for years.

I haven't put together a comprehensive list of all if his paperback covers, across all publishers. I'm not sure anyone has. I am aware of many of them based mostly on what is listed in Black Light and in the 1981 Overstreet. The only publisher I feel confident I have nailed down is Croydon. Some of those are fairly easy to find, with a couple damn near impossible.

All I see are a bunch of likeminded YouTubers using Ed's passing to promote their unwatchable channels.

Someone forgot to hit the start button.

And also fact...
