  1. Yup, the code killed "The Tormented". Too bad it hadn't started a year earlier. And nope, no little envelope blinky. That's why I posted, "if someone could settle for a mere VG". I don't think there are all that many here interested in reading copies like us; they want CGC 9.8's. :wink:

    What books are you looking for? I could always use another Tormented.

  2. A group of some of my favorites:

    Very nice group. If you don't mind, what's the grade on the COC 23? Is that a File Copy? Looks very nice.

     

    Awesome group for sure. I've got 4 of them. I'm on the hunt for Tormented #1. Do you guys ever see that book come up for sale?

    I've got a 4.5 but not looking to sell it. I had a fair copy I sold last year but they don't come up very often.

  3. Nate is an awesome individual to deal with. Extremely courteous even when we had a little post office snafu he was patient and understanding. Hats off to you, Nate and I look forward to doing business with you soon and everyone on the boards should have no hesitations dealing with him!

  4. Those Jumbos are great! I love how in a short little run they have a fire demon, a clown, a hanging reference and the Grim Reaper! All that's missing is a zombie....

     

     

    Yeah, they are fun. I'm missing #163, #164, and #167 so maybe there is a zombie on one of those covers. hm

    Love those later Jumbo's. There was only so many scantily clad hot girls spearing an exotic animal covers they could come up with.

    Can you outlast your past

    Can you live with a lie

    How long can you last

    Before you wish to die

     

    Can you make amends

    Can you really atone

    For the death of friends

    Now rotten to the bone

     

    Jesus will not save

    On that you can rely

    When you lie in your grave

    You won't be granted sky

     

    A man with something to hide

    A guilt that can never be fed

    A soul lost of a peaceful guide

    No peaceful slumber in bed

     

    Now you take journey you know so well

    Accompanied by the unholy hound

    Drives you to your own personal hell

    I will not fight or make a sound

     

  6. Excellent guys

     

    Those establishment goons sure made life a drag

    For Clarisse and our hero, Guy Montag

    For life was harsh one needed just a look

    Except a select few who could escape with a book

    Todays people should especially take heed

    Pop on the Kardashians and do not read

    Voluntarily without knowing giving up their rights

    And fall into that nightmare world without a fight

    Go out today and visit a library

    Take a note from the great Bradbury

  7. I’ve been catching up on some classic yarns in my Readers; so here’s an instaverse encomium to editor Donald A Wollheim

     

    O dragon-rider, show us the way;

    Take us to fantasy worlds today.

    No far realm could be as crass and worn

    As this poor sad place where we were born,

    Where life is a long looping sales pitch:

    The broken wheel steers into a ditch.

     

    Take us to where the stars shine as bright

    Precious jewels flung into the night;

    Enchant our souls with a wonder quest,

    Wild adventure and evils to best;

    Wrapped in rainbows of romance and glory,

    Show us the magic myth of our story.

    Very nice Pat and I forgot to tell you that earlier. I appreciate all the veterans keeping this thread chugging along and hope to see some new blood share some work soon.
