Nice pick up!

Just read through the first 10 pages of the thread. WOW. Vat' a Pissa'! Let me replay a few highlights for everyone, with some commentary from me: Brulato: "Stop crying about the cut of the book or the centering and let the CGC do the job. That is why we have universal grading. Understand? That is a killer book plain and simple." This was obviously Tom's 9.6 X-Men #94 that Jason Ewert was selling. It did not have great QP. Probably the first time I really started noticing QP. JC: "This book sucks the sweat off a dead monkey's butt." Still one of my favorite comments of all time. JC: "Well, post your EBay ID and let us know when you've put your money where your mouth is." Brulato: "Money where my mouth is? You might be suprised to know i own a 9.8 ASM #1 (yeah the one from 1963), a 9.8 X-MEN #1 9.4 FAN FOUR #1, 9.6 JIM #83, 9.6 TOS #39, 9.6 AVENGERS #1, 9.4 AMAZING FANTASY #15 9.6 DD #1 9.6 STRANGE TALES #101 9.6 TTA #35 and the highest graded copy of almost every other book in most of these runs. What do you own sonny?" Possibly the most extreme display of vulgar chest thumping seen on these boards to date. Old Guy: "Yea, I'm sure most of us would be surprised if you owned those books, especially considering you can't even spell 'suprised'." Drbanner: "No Hulk 1?!?!? Worthless... " Brulato: "good point...i own the only HULK #1 in 9.4" JC: "Okay, now I know you're a shill. No one (other than a bong-smoking 12-year old) could post like that with a straight face. Jigs up. Est. time to Dena deleting account... T-minus 24 minutes." famous last words sborock: "This is not a shill account. Hi Tom" Interestingly, Steve doesn't feel compelled to chide Tom for his uncouth behavior. JC: "That's strange, I never got the opinion that Tom was such a . Live and learn I guess." Brulato: "How long have you been on this forum about "funny books"? I just heard you collect BYRNE X-MEN. wow what a player."

WOW. Wish I could read THAT one......got a link? Sounds like Ali v. Frazier! Brad, surprised you haven't read it before. It's been referenced numerous times. Here it is. It starts out innocuously enough, and then Brulato jumps in, and then it just deteriorates.

No one remembers the JC vs. Brulato face down? Neither participant covered themselves in glory...

Hell... if I had it I would probably have it posted in my sig line... That would be highly preferable (I've set up my configuration so I don't see avatars or sigs )! It's just getting a bit old, you know? We know it's a great book and a vast majority of the people on these boards, including myself, would love to own it. Fine. Acknowledged. Agreed. Let's move on...

What?! You own the CGC 6.5 Action #1? Gee, I would never have guessed! Like, you've only mentioned it in 99% of your posts!

Please to explain!

Very interesting info. I had never heard this, but it would be great if it were true. As with the earlier Margaret panel, I'm finding HK's work really indistinguishable from AW's work.

Escape, many many thanks for posting the interior pages. But do you think you could break it up into several rows rather than one long row, as it's causing the web pages to extend really far to the right, which means we have to scroll right on every post that contains more than a few words of text.

Wow, I'll tell you, I cannot tell the difference between HK's and AW's art during this period. If someone showed me this panel as having come from a comic, I would've had no problem believing it was AW.

Nice book, Adam. Is it a Gaines file copy? I think the covers to a lot of EC's non-horror/crime books are vastly underrated. Are the art and stories inside any good in these titles?

nice book! congrats on your first Curator!

Thanks Joe, I love that story too. I always liked Alice`s suggestion at the end that Dennis go play hide and seek until his dad left the house.

Welcome to the boards, Bill! This thread just keeps getting better and better! Thanks to Joe for so actively generating interest in this thread. Now if Fred Hembeck and Matt Groening would only join in...

Hi Jim, Mexico is my favorite too! There is some laugh out loud funny stuff in there, particularly when Dennis takes a hammer to some delicate silver. But they're all great!

Silent Knight! Grey tone! Add it all up,

Priorities! Satisfied? I guess it'll have to do for now. Nice book!

Thanks Jim, that's awesome! And thanks for sharing all your insights.

Priorities!

Thanks Jeff. Sorry to be such a nag, but this thread's been dead the last few days and you and gpcove both put up nice 10 cent books today in other threads, so I felt compelled to remind you guys about this thread.

Brad, that is a seriously sharp-looking 9.0. The black looks so... so... pristine.

Nice cover, Scrooge! I have been really blown away by these Airboy covers!

Hi Scrooge, been meaning to reply to your PM but too swamped. Downside of long PMs...

I'd trade my collection for his. That's very big of you. Reminds me of a song that contained the line "All I want is everything, and everything is all I want".

Very cool that a 46 and 52 got posted here in quick succession. They are not books that appear often.
