Get Marwood & I

Would Carnage beat Urko in a fight do you think Maurice?

Horsesh was still available I believe

Don't feel too bad about it. We were only little.

Does anyone remember the one where Urko and Verdon get stuck in the old underground train station? Urko finds a poster of an ape in a zoo cage and gets in a right state. That was a good episode.

Oh. All them years I thought it was actual grit. The 'put it on your icy paths' type

Urko

If the covers are all as awful as that Hulk one, it will be easy enough to drop them

That's a bus I'd get on

I had a bowl of them. A whole family of the things, swimming around. They all died, alas, when I forgot they were there and put all my spare grit in the bowl.

No! How did the boy from the movie Newsie get Grit ? did they ship it to your house? Why was the goal only to make $52 a year? I don't know, what am I, the f****** Grit clerk? Don't answer that.

You don't remember the old playground rhyme then? "Don't buy Grit, don't buy Grit, It's a total pile of sh"

The sun is out, the sky is blue, here's the inside, of a pence book for you (I was a poet, but I was unaware of my particular talents in that field) Ah, it's the Rawhide Kid. So called because his saddle was a bit rough and he couldn't afford a new one. Nice clean 9d cover Thorpe & Porter! This is a cool Kirby / Ayers combo splash isn't it. Look at them faces But what's this? I've never seen anyone like who? The Hulk you say? Who is the Hulk?? What do you mean he's 'coming'? He's not The Limey is he? No? Well what is the Hulk?? Is there an echo in here? Can I buy him? I can! Brilliant! Have I ever seen anyone like him then? I haven't! Excellent! Are the rumours true that he gets mad a lot? No, not him, the Hulk!? Jesus H Christ I'm not paying that much!

That's a great one. Imagine being a kid, that's your home territory, and you then read your latest Spidey comic and see him swinging about in your town! Brilliant

What a 100th post

Morning, fans of AUS priced Marvels! Or is that 'fan'...? Morning Nestor! It's been a while since I added any new titles to the AUS list - we're stuck on 89, across which 906 single AUS priced copies have shown themselves thus far (well, to me at least) So far, I have not found one single book between the inclusive dates of May 1994 to January 1996: So my working assumption is that no books will be found during these dates (which fit with my long held ASM date range picture which I put together and checked exhaustively many years ago). On my chart I have an 'Eligible Editions' column which totals how many books were produced for each title from the cover date of the first AUS books I've found - January 1991 - to the last date that AUS priced books exist - November 1996. The totals I had showed every book, including the aforementioned May 94 to Jan 96 gap. So if we are confident that books will never be found for that gap, the numbers can be stripped out, and that is what I did this morning. The resulting position is as follows: The number of titles is 89, the number of confirmed AUS books across them 906 and the number of theoretically possible books is now 1,666 (down from the 2,425 figure which included the May 94 to Jan 96 gap issues) So in theory, if we find no more titles, and each of the confirmed titles yields an AUS copy for every remaining eligible month, there could be 1,666 AUS price variants out there. However, one thing the chart also does is allow you to see patterns where books fail to materialise for certain months. If you look at the extract below, you'll see that ASM #385 seems to have no April 94 AUS edition (I looked for 10 years for one!). It may exist though, as Captain America #423 does have it's April 94 copy. But look at how many other titles do not have an April 94 AUS book. There are more titles not showing in the extract and it leads you to believe that books for that month may not materialise. Only Spider-Man 2099 #15 and Web of Spider-Man #108 also have April 94 AUS books: In a similar vein, there are many titles which appear to have no AUS books for the 10 issues from February 1996, despite having eligible issue numbers. So whilst 1,666 is the current theoretical maximum number of AUS copies out there, the true number will likely be much lower. If I can keep filling in the blanks and cementing the 'gaps', we can start to speculate which books may not ever appear and arrive at a final target figure that can stand up to scrutiny. All good fun

Not Arf! No more worm tablets for you Gnasher....

I love this early Marvel period. So many quirks and oddities, almost all of them unexplained to this day. Great fun

BRENT! "A FRIEND IN NEED"! THAT'S WHAT DOCTOR TOM BRENT WAS TO YOUNG BOB MARTIN... BUT COULD HE PREVENT THE INTERN FROM CERTAIN DISASTER? "STOP! YOU'LL KILL THAT WOMAN!" "Why Bob? It's only a can of coke?" "Oh, is it? Sorry. Carry on" BRENT! The Flying Nurses are away

No worries. Good spot all the same Stop mucking about Maurice. This is a serious thread for serious people. And horses called Dave. "Honestly, I don't know what all the fuss is about, really I don't"
