Indeed.It was an off-day for Basil.

Maybe i have to start my collection with the ugliest cover and then it's nowhere but up.

I was looking at that FM 9 you're selling.

First Gogos cover.

mmmmmm.

Did you happen to catch i wasa the one who bought that Gathering horror book from mrwoogieman ?

I received it a few days ago.

Mindboggling.Copy 296 out of 300.

Can't believe my luck on that one.

There's a store here called Nickscomics and on the website,there's a nice pic of a few FM's.Number 13 and number 47 which i first thought to be number 10 since its the same cover.I called him and he said number 13 is around 40 bucks.

Dagnabbit.

Only open from Thursday to Sunday,so i'll go check the quality then.

I have a buddy who's got a number 2 he might be convinced to part with.

You know,the old these are not the droids you're looking for.

 

I just went to ebay and bought a copy of this. Had never even seen it before!

Those are great.Didn't last long though.8 issues and 1 annual only.

Number 4 cover with the Wolfman is really spectacular.

I guess we lose the joke on that one huh ?

Oh.

Don't i feel like a lump now.

I had lunch with Dave at San Diego last year.

 

Seriously?

Seriously. He is still very involved in comics and collecting. He was the final president of the old American Assoc. of Comic Collectors. He has avidly interviewed and filmed as many of the living early creators as possible with the hopes of eventually doing a documentary. He has 100s of hours of film compiled. He is still a huge fan. And while he is in great shape, sadly the Cap suit doesn't fit any longer.

Am i the only one who lost consciousness at the mention of..has 100 of hours of film compiled.

He should really try the Kickstarter thing.

John Dillinger's is in the Smithsonian?

Well,i was looking for a few items to put in my funny and i came across this,but i think if i do a bit of research,i'm pretty sure it's only always been like a famous myth.

Can you imagine the tour at the Smithsonian ?

"look Henrietta,The Hope diamond,the Gettysburg address John Dillinger's penis...pack of Juicy fruit ? "

I only know this bit of trivia.

The first ever commercial product to be bought with a barcode was a 10-pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum. It was purchased at Marsh’s Supermarket in Troy, Ohio, USA, on June 26, 1974, by Clyde Dawson. It was scanned by Sharon Buchanan at 8:01 am.The historic pack of gum and the receipt are now on display in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.

Finally got me a Supes 53 and some darn fellow named Jerry Robinson had to go and write on the first page of the Bat 5

 

I swear those darn punks will bring chaos ands anarchy wherever they walk.

Send it to me.I'll dispose of it and your record will remain spotless.

The Supes 53 is also pretty swell.

I'm not really the type to buy Heavy Metal,but when i saw the top right corner,i just had to.

You always see the usual suspects concerning Blade runner,the Cinefex number 9,the Cinefantastique double cover with ST 2:wrath of Khan one,those few issues of Starlog,the fantastic films ones,etc.

But i was happy to find this in one of the few boxes of magazines at a LCS.And in pretty good shape too.

There is a nice full page obituary of Philip K.Dick

Great link Ben, how you doing bud.

Doing just great.Thanks.

In 2 days i'll be getting my newly bought complete-full-and-entire-from-number-1-to-the-last-Cinefex collection.

So obviously,

Should be good for a thread filled with pics by next week.

There we are.Found it.

Then click on "MAGAZINES," and then on "PRICING." Click on "F" or write in "Famous Monsters of Filmland." It's self-explanatory.

Just noticed this thread.

If anyone's interested i can provide prices for scifi and monster mags from the

1995 Monsters among us price guide.

But someone from another thread provided a much better and current website.

Lemme see if i can find it again.

uh, that didn't sound right

Nope

Have you been viewing some Cronenberg flicks lately ?

Picked up my first treasury editions ever this week.

Got the 4 for $10 so i think i did ok even though they arent in perfect shape.

Guy had a few more and i am thinking of going back for them

 

 

Those Treasuries are beeeaauuuutttiiffffuullll.

The more i collect those and keep searching ,the more i find in Montreal.

That's some shredding cat!

Aaarrrghhh i just found the goofy thread.

I posted the cat from the first page and i cant believe any of you brainiacs didnt make the connection with Oakman's comment about shredding.

Shreddinger's cat.

And guess where its being shot ?

Thats right,here in Montreal.I think the saving on productions are amazing here.

To get into the Avengers 's shawarma train,there will be a scene with Wolverine.

"Good job with the Sentinels,now lets go get that poutine."

He's canadian after all.

Hi fellas,

Would any of you know if he Steranko would actually do artwork inside a book ?

I was thinking of making him sign my Steranko:Graphic narrative book from the 1978 Winnipeg exhibition,but i'd be awesome if he was to accept doing artwork inside one of the white pages and sign it.

Went to an estate auction last month and bought 2 boxes of old pictures.This was one of them.An original etching by Horace Devitt Welsh.He died in 1942 and it's signed & dedicated on the front and signed on the back also.

 

Got another one that may be an original watercolor by Teok Carrasco.Have to get it out from behind the glass.

Wow.First one is pretty good but the second one is great.

I have 2 i found and i was about to post them soon,so i guess the best place is

in this thread right ?

Black terror is easy,but that kid in the corner back,i cant tell.

Story behind the first pic was this kid at the table rents out comics in the Phillipines to help his family.

I dig deeper and find these.

FIRST PRINT COPIES, even!

 

Lets see what goodies DiceX has

He-man,

CARtoons..ok i guess..

But this is Boingiongiongiong territory for Mtlfilmguy.

And only 10 bucks for everything ?

(thumbs u

Anyone of you have a signed Ditko comic ?

Or a scan at least.

That'd be a good start.

Like the Empress said,that one does seem to be the culprit.

I'm just wondering why one time he would only sign Steve.
