Get Marwood & I

What! Me neither.

I'm old fashioned Dude. Gixen sounds like a 90's rock band. I know. I like the last minute manual approach though. You can save a packet that way. Bid early, the competition often keep bidding until they get you. Why give them the chance? Amazing how often it works. The only reason there was a frenzy this time is because ebay timed me out. Of course, I may have lost anyway. Who knows how high the winners bid was. I certainly don't - thanks to fleabay

So that would be your last/final thought?  I knew I should've just agreed with RMA on the definition of a collector.

So that would be your last/final thought?  I knew I shouldn't have agreed to meet in this car park.

So that would be your last/final thought?  I wish I'd turned the gas off.

Any, every and all Venom appearances in ASM

"Honeshtly offisher. I was just, hic, just shniping on ebay..."

I know. I was just mucking about. Zombuzz was quite good though, I thought.

They never.

Batman 1, surely?

Yes. And for once, a clear winner! Satan.

Is that a genuine Kav?

I like stickers.

It sure aint.

No wonder the Knight Rider never had any comics to read. Here's another. I can console myself with the knowledge I already have them, but how did I forget to bid on these three!

Shut up you tart

I know. He's bound to be doing just that comicsyte95 - any Dad who buys his kids comics goes there automatically. It's the rules. Take care friend

I spotted a Rifleman 10 on eBay the other day. Something told me it would go low, under the radar. I knew I'd be driving so I set an alarm, pulled the car over, logged in (heh, heh) and waited patiently for the 2 minutes to count down, pleased with my planning. In line with my otherwise 99% successful bidding approach I waited until the listing had 9 seconds to go before diving in. Works every time! That is, until eBay decides to advise you that your 'session has timed out'. Even though I had purposely logged in afresh. Obviously there was a furious attempt to log in again but of course I lost it. One solitary word was muttered. It had four letters, started with c and ended in t. Yes, that's it. Clot. Your turn.

Further to the previous post, and sticking to the subject of what may or may not exist, I think I've made a bit of a breakthrough in my research In my 'font variations' thread, I posted yesterday that I was compiling a summary of all the early Marvels which I had found to have US Cents price font variations - here's the post: In it I say "There is a tangible link, oddly enough (given it's me) to the presence or otherwise of pence priced books" Have a look at this extract from the summary chart I have produced for some of the 'funny girl' titles (sorry I can't enlarge it): I have yet to find a pence copy for 'A Date With Millie', 'Kathy' and 'Love Romances'. Look at the summary and you'll see that every cents copy has the same 10c US font. I have found no variations of them. Each has this style of bold 10c font: Now look at 'My Girl Pearl', 'Patsy And Hedy' and 'Patsy Walker'. In all three cases, the presence of a confirmed pence price has a corresponding cents price with a different font to the US copies that have no pence copy. For the pence copies, I have found no examples of the bold 10c font style - only the style that mirrors the pence font. Where there is a pence copy, the US cents font mirrors it. Where there is no confirmed pence copy, the cents font reverts to the bold 10c style only. The pattern is so clear and consistent that it could be argued that the presence of this font style for these titles indicates no pence copy will be found Here's an enlarged shot of 'Patsy & Hedy'. If my theory holds water, we'll never find a pence copy of 72, 73 or 74: It's still early days though, and I have 20 titles to process in the font variation research, but I thought this was a significant enough early observation to share. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm sorry to read this. A terrible blow for you. Please, don't make any rash decisions though - lock them away and one day you may feel differently and be glad you kept them as a reminder of his love for you. The pain takes a long time to subside, but the black void you feel now will eventually recede and you'll find you can live and love comics again and be glad of the good memories the books he bought you bring

The bloke fighting Gorgo's pretty big isn't he. Even though he doesn't seem to have any feet. Who makes his clothes do you think? And where does he go for a poop? Unless there's a giants toilet roll factory down the road, I'd imagine he'd have to use a tent or something. Imagine the mess afterwards. Pretty shocking I bet. They never cover this stuff do they, in the comics I mean. Where do the giants poop, and what do they wipe their arses on afterwards?  Epilogue: The World Shaker sheds his load. No wonder the world shook. Lets face it, it'd be enormous.  "Mum, there's a massive brown thing in the garden. It's bigger than the shed!" "Stop mucking about Billy. There's no such thi- SWEET JESUS WHAT'S THAT!" "I told you Mum. What's that smell?" "Oh "Hi honey, I'm hom-JESUS, what's that smell! You been cooking them kidney beans again Daphne?" "Oh Dave, thank God you're home!" "Dad, come look! The World Shaker took a dump in the garden!" "What!" "Oh Dave, the council say they won't touch it. What are we going to do!" "Can we keep it Dad, can we, can we?" "Would you shut up Billy for a minute so I can think! What a day this is turning into. First the car, then Barry at work and now you're telling me the World Shaker's had a poop on my lawn!" "Wait til you see what he did to the tent Dad!"

What if lightning strikes your grave and you're reanimated as a zombie though? Or a zombuzz. You'd still be able to read and everything, and might want them books back. You need to cover all bases Buzz. These off the cuff remarks and actions could leave you one sorry undead collector one day if you're not careful.
