  1. Not sure why I cannot get that image to be right-side up...another new feature with the upgrade, I guess...
  2. Wertham woulda loved to hate this one had he noticed it
  3. Can we please, please get rid of the new “top posters in this thread” feature? It adds nothing essential and shrinks the actual content area by about 1/3.
  4. This week in my pulp collection (which takes it from 2 to 3!) is an awesome gift from a certain generous boardie who might be a ringleader of sorts in this very thread Thank you very much! Fantastic vol 1 #1 Virgil Finlay, Bradbury, Asimov, Chandler
  5. Female hero who fears naught to female tempted to be bought
  6. @Jginsberg79 check this annual event of a thread out! It's a lot of fun
  7. How about some Copper Age OA? Page 16 from Blue Beetle #9 (1987), pencils by Paris Cullins and inks by Bruce Patterson. Also included are: - Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories #633, a tough late-run issue featuring Barks’ classic “Donald Duck’s Best Christmas,” reprinted from the 1945 Firestone Giveaway. - Cursed Comics Cavalcade #1 (so no one accuses me of going too sappy with a Barks Christmas classic) - Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau’s autograph on a 3x5 card (who saw that coming???) I’ll ship within U.S. or to Canada.
  8. OYEZ! OYEZ! OYEZ! I am in! -- Photographing right now, stay tuned....
  9. @bikesnbuses @kairos70 Weren't one of you looking for the Gold Key King Kong treasury from the 60's? There's one on page 1 here.
  10. So is that your 7 pm or my 7 pm? Or one of the other ones?
  11. Last GA of the year, over the last week or so...if ya wanna be real sticklers, the Planet #49 and Popeye #1 are in a dead heat for last, purchased together in a great little LCS last Friday. The Winnie Winkle paper doll OA is from a 1935 Sunday page.
  12. I swear I'm trying Solar, but I've got a full Avengers run!
  13. At the rate the postal service is going, these items from the last couple weeks are probably my last new additions for the year. The Winnie Winkle paper doll OA is from a 1935 Sunday comics page.
  14. I think if @Comcav and @echu did this, we'd get pictures of the Golden age Flash and Silver Age Flash, respectively...
  15. Alright, I’ll put us back on topic and throw a wrench in the mix....we’ve named no women, and there are very few in Comics art history, but if I argued one it would be Wendy Pini for pioneering the independent Comics movement and introducing the manga style to the U.S.audience.
  16. I’m not thinking of another use for that one, no....
  17. You just reminded me — Speaking of comic artists and stone monuments, Herb Trimpe was married to Linda Fite, daughter of Harvey Fite, known for his stone construction “Opus 40” (he died approx. 37 years into his 40-year project).
  18. And don’t forget to say you’re not a professional grader!
  19. Good to know; thank you! And I don’t know who I’d personally drop from your four all-time cartoonists list, but I’d have a hard time leaving Windsor McCay out. And in the same spirit as Schultz, who is obviously not there on ground-breaking artwork itself, I have to consider Watterson as a storyteller too.
