I want to order one of the Baker Canteen Kate reprint books. Any recommendations on what one is better between the Canton Street Press version or the one from Picture This Press (Lost Art...)?

They both came out within 2 months of each other.

Just a quick plug for our book at Canton Street Press. Our Canteen Kate book is nomiated for an Eisner this year (fingers crossed). I posted some pics of our book in the thread below and compared the two volumes. The Lost Art book is well done and each has its advantages. You can't go wrong with either book in my opinion. Of course, I'd prefer you bought ours If you buy it from our website (www.CantonStreetPress.com) you get your choice of a free print. No Baker, unfortunately, but some cool GA covers.

Chaos Comics produced several "Octagon Editions" in the 1990s/early2000s. The print run was 8 copies and each cover was an original piece of art. The covers were black with the sketches done in silver ink. I have all 8 of an unreleased Octagon edition that was scheduled to be released, but the company went bankrupt first.

Not mine, but here is an eBay link. You don't see them up for sale often.

Great buyer!

Look at Volusion. We run two sites on Volusion. Here is my publishing site with products for sale:

http://www.cantonstreetpress.com/

This is the cheapest of Voluion's store options, which is based mostly on the number of products. Volusion has limitations, but all these solutions do. Our much larger store was run on Coresense, but that is a more expensive service. Before selling our business, we looked into moving from Coresense to Shopify. We never actually built a store with Shopify though.

Two more from romance books. This story by Krigstein is a romance story, but reads as a really good adventure story. This is a romance story for guys from Romantic Confessions V2 #3.

Some Kirby romance from Young Romance V8 #8

A few more splashes. This one if from Eerie #4. "The bottomless slime of degredation..." love that text.

Kubert splash from Weird Horrors #9

Splash from True Life Secrets #12, the "I was an escort girl" story. Great floating head splash. There is not a mention of gambling in the entire story, but if you are an escort girl you are probably wrapped up in other "seedy" activities like gambling...

I've lurked in the Gold forum for sometime and love this splash page thread. I figure it is time I posted some pics. Most of these scans came from a blog I wrote when I was an owner of TalesOfWonder.com. The blog ended, but I'm still publishing some golden age material through CantonStreetPress.com.

Great Doll Man #19 splash by Bill Ward

I Love this B&W splash by LB Cole from the interior front cover of Contact Comics #4. It is heartfelt without any trace of cynicism.

Opening splash from the same book. Better than the Kurtzman Black Venus, in my opinion.
