This massive and delightful tome arrived in the mail today, in surprisingly nice condition considering it's voyage from overseas! A catalog for an exhibition in Spain that happily includes English text along with Spanish! Crazy book that I stumbled onto a couple of weeks ago, totally unaware of it's existence!

 

 I got it. Very rich tome. Recommended.

I think the prices on eBay are probably pretty reasonable, given their scarcity and size.  I just need to actually budget myself to get one, I haven't paid that much for any of my undergrounds so far.

Budget is always an issue. There are a couple of lovely items on ebay right now, for ~500$ each, really too much for me.
I got the Gothic Blimp Works years ago for decent prices, they are not so uncommon on ebay (or abebooks).

I think at this point not having a single issue of Gothic Blimp Works is probably the most annoying gap in my admittedly limited underground collection.  They just don't seem to turn up!

There are several copies on e-bay.  What would you consider fair market prices?
This one https://www.ebay.com/itm/186064558466, looks pretty good, for a decent price.

A nice book, and a bold historical selection (and a wrong date too?)

I attended a book presentation with Crumb in Lucca, Italy, a few years ago,
and he commented with disdain that somebody at Playboy (Hefner himself?) had demanded 
that Kurtzman redraw some details of some of his tables.

For sure, Kurtzman was a giant, and Crumb's respect is deserved and due.

Obtained these delights yesterday and mulling whether to do the slab dance since they are duplicates!

 

Too beautiful ones! Very nice lot, congratulations.

Hi, is there a "how to" in terms of posting comics for sale? I have read the Marketplace Rules but I can't figure out the logistics of how to actually post. Also, once I get that figured out, does anyone know the best place to list underground comix? Thanks very much. Matt

....serial killer? .....special effects technician?

special effects technician? that would be quite good.

I understand 'creepy'. it was the context that baffled me. I'm guessing by your grammar etc. English is not your first language.

You got me!   It is difficult to hide my accent.

On 1/15/2023 at 12:13 AM, wpbooks01 said:

However since you are a 'fan' of Underground Comics, I'll bet you are aware of a certain title by Rory Hayes that is a tad 'creepy', no?

The Bogeyman ones, or the C... one?

On 1/15/2023 at 12:13 AM, wpbooks01 said:

You might, therefore, find this of interest from my little library that you asked me about previously......

 

uhm, uhm, maybe you are not a special effects technician ....

take care

ps.  if you have/see an extra copy of CounterMedia Special Issue (Winter 1991-92), please let me know.

On 1/14/2023 at 4:22 AM, wpbooks01 said:

There are 4, 5, 6, 7 and Special Issue (Winter 1991-92) which came out between 5 and 6.

I see. I was not aware about and miss the special issue, too bad!

Thanks to let me know.

I don't understand 'tough a little creepy'. I don't know how to answer the question you pose.

According to Google, creepy = causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.
I was just curious if you have a professional interest, say as a criminal lawyer, a criminologist, or a policeman, or maybe ...  :-).
Sorry, I didn't mean to open a thread about personal matters. Forget.

 a large underground collection.

Hi, maybe you may list it here. I am sure some of us are curious on what you may have.

Anyway, I buy on e-bay, and I am generally very satisfied.

'Twould be like trying to pick a favorite child....those shelves.....but just to go off topic for a moment, here's another shelf of forensic fun for you......in the case next to the one previously shown......

 

Thanks. I see, interesting collection, tough a little creepy indeed.  Do you collect them for professional reasons?

5 issues.

 

Ops, I miss one, I have issues 4, 5,  6 and 7. Is there a issue 8?

Also of interest is the 5 issue zine he published and wrote 'scholarly' UG related material for, Countermedia! Interesting that the title isn't mentioned in the book or article bibliography! I cherish my run of that mag as it's full of all sorts of fascinating information!!!

 

It is a three (or four?) run, they failed to start from issue 1, didn't they?

It is a little, very nice mag indeed.

What would you like to know?

Maybe just a couple of pictures of the shelves?
That would be great. (if you feel like to show,  I respect your privacy)

I see, Thanks.
(Now,  kind of curious about your books collection :-) )

That list of his needs to be updated to include his book on Jim Osborne!

ya, correct, and I missed it :-(
Was that on paper, I just see a Kindle edition?
https://www.patrickrosenkranz.info/jim-osborne  does not say too much about the book.
