Your troubled memory serves you well, Gaard...

 

I think what fascinates me most about these mags is the numbering system. Did you know there are some books with the exact same title and issue number, but they're completely different books? It's almost as if the folks at Eerie Publications couldn't keep track either...   

Just a few motorcycles

Tin vehicles. Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles. A couple recent pickups. 1930’s and 1950’s. Cars have sure come a long way. 

Time to reenforce that shelf Sir! 

Another grandkid birthday card for this upcoming weekend.

Still my fav!

Cracked out 6.0

Cracked out 7.0

Arrived yesterday and since liberated.
 

Was lucky enough to get a few tough big ones recently.

Eerie 43 CGC 9.4 very hard to find above 9.0

And then Creepy 9 CGC 9.8 with white pages to boot. (First Wrightson!)
Never thought I would have a shot at getting a copy (Thanks to boardie Mstrange!!)
Seemly like its almost impossible to find with a clean non-scraped up back cover.

Hope to show another really tough Frazetta soon.

Sometimes late at night I like to ponder the mysteries of the universe like will string theory ever be put to the experimental test.  Other times I wonder how cool owning two Great Garloos toys would be.  I finally decided to put the theory to the experimental test.  Conclusion: very cool.
 

All I know is the only thing that keeps me going are prune smoothies with bourbon.

Maybe. Either way it does not make or break the story for me. It just seemed a bit ogre ish for no particular reason. Sutton was probably just having fun with it! 

Well here goes my first try at a review.
Vampirella #14:
I’m usually not a fan of border covers but I agree with @OtherEric that this blue border especially with the yellow outline really enhances this Sanjulian painting. It is one of my favorites. Perhaps it is that along with the beautiful gal, there is that looming cyclops. The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was a movie that impressed young me, and made me a fan of everything cyclops!
Feary Tales: Good art on just ok features. How can a headless woman scream? 
Isle of the Huntress: A really solid story in script and art. Mixing shades of The Most Dangerous Game and The Island of Dr. Moreau. Gonzalez at his best with the opening splash showing the depth of field with varying ink weights.
The Wedding Gift: Ploog art is always a treat and we get to see see him draw curvy women and some creatures. My take on the ending was a nod to the Woman’s Liberation movement.
The Sword of Light: Really like the art on this one. The story needed a couple more pages to flesh it out better IMO, but was enjoyable. I thought this page was done well with the extensive crosshatching.
Deadman’s Treasure: A very nice story that was paced well. The Sutton art was good as usual except the pirate character looked more ape like than backwoods swamp dweller for some reason.
Wolf Hunt: Simply stunning art by Maroto! The plot is kind of bare and brutal but works well within the story as to why the wolf would break its code not to prey on humans. By his actions he became less than human, and therefore could be consumed as an animal.
Overall a great issue from cover to cover. Strong art and good scripts make this a top issue in my book! I also loved the double page spread highlighting the Vampi Annual too!

This just in. This will be cracked out. Will post interiors to Atlas & KRACKEN later.
