Artifiction

Double teaser! Purdy copy!

Teaser...

Up until I started frequenting these boards, again, I had never heard of Skywald. Tell you what, I've been missing out. The cover art is right up my alley. I've found a new love. My Turoks now occupy the back seat.

Wow! Over the top.

Oh man, that's a bummer. Still, like you said, still a keepsake. You should take him up on his offer some time. Nice of him to do that. He does a cool Batman. Not sure how to describe his style .... "gritty" maybe?

Really? Wouldn't mind seeing your statue some time. If it's a turok, maybe in the Turok thread? Not sure if this is the right place to show it off? Thanks for mentioning the statues.

"Puppeteer Lee". I, too, really do like that cover. Very impressive, and on my list! I've noticed a few artists, recently, that go by the name of "Lee". One of my new favorites is Jae Lee. I love the work that he did for Dynamite Entertainment's "Turok Dinosaur Hunter" which I collect.

Qalyar, nice books and write up. Thanks for sharing.

2021 has blessed me with some, to me, awesome acquisitions, and more than just three. However, since I have to choose just three, I pick the three pictured. Chosen only because I have the most $$ tied up in purchasing them.

Just a suggestion to all... Never tell your wife the true value of your comics!

Hmmm..... I wonder if the lucky buyer will join the Vampi #1 club? He/she should be qualified?

James, you know better than that. I wish it were me that got it. Heck, I couldn't even buy that CREEPY 29 that's in Randall's thread, and I wanted it, bad. I do have everyone paid off for the books that I have purchased, though, and that makes me feel good.

Dayum! Hey, at least we got to see it. Thank you for that, Lion's den!

I'm not a dealer. I'm just a collector wanting to go to some local shows, but If you could get some fliers to me, I'd be glad to distribute some around my area. Every little bit might help?

I hope so!

I'm in Huntingburg, and would love to see a show in Evansville. Better than having to drive to Indy or Louisville.

Awesome cover.

A phone conversation with the seller never hurts.

I tried following one or two members, and was surprised when I started receiving notifications for every little post that they made. It made me feel more like a stalker than a follower. So, I stopped following/stalking them. I only wanted to know when they posted a new sales thread!

Why can't I just be happy with collecting lower grade books? I'd save so much $$ if I could just be happy with books that fall into the good-fine+ category. All I'd have to do is ignore the outer edges of the books, and focus on the centers, but no, my eyes go directly to the even the smallest of faults, and they bother me. In some instances, the faults won't stop me from buying something, but bother me they do, sometimes occupying my thoughts for long periods of time after seeing them. I'm that way with all things that I collect, like vintage, Halloween ephemera, coins, records, cast iron, animal traps, tin cars and trucks, etc. I wonder if there are others that suffer from the same affliction as I do.....

Every time I look at these that bionic man sound effect keeps going through my head.

Thanks, and he really does. I know you must be excited to get your package of goodness!

Over the moon pleased with these. Thank you, Namisgr!

I was wondering what the story was about, and now I know! Unfortunately, my OCD won't let me read the books that I buy. I'm almost too paranoid to touch them, much less read them. I'm afraid that I might cause some kind of damage to my minty beauties. I'm not sure if the stories are meant to be logical? I think I prefer them when they're a little on the illogical side.

Sorry if these have already been posted. Thanks again, jimjum12....
