Get Marwood & I

Is the blue missing in the p hole a printing error? I like printing errors. And look, I got to say 'p hole' in a legitimate context

And yet not a whisper from @Badger Jim.

Hello. The Kid popped in last week. Number 105 that is, a book that has been stubbornly evading capture for a long, long, long, long - long time. He wasn't looking his best I have to say, but he is what he is and his arrival heralded our three thousand and ninth Marvel pence copy. I rather like him, despite his shabby look (Cowboys are my weakness, you see). Here's his place on the chart: Maybe 102 will turn up soon to keep him company? As I mentioned when the Gunsmoke Western 70 turned up, you'd be forgiven for thinking this was the Marvel Western Pence Variant thread. I've been doing this for 8 years now, and the westerns seem to be the only books on the 'missing list' that ever turn up. If we take a look at the titles which were active when pence copies began from May 1960, there are a lot of possibilities: I'd love a Date With Millie (who wouldn't) and a Battle 70 would be fun, being the final issue in the title. We know the Gunsmoke score now - two Miller pence books with an L Miller cents indicia interruption, but it looks like the missing JIM's will never surface. A Kathy would be nice of course - it's about time she came home - and Life With Millie would be fun in Pence Land. Only the 9d My Girl Pearl 7 gives me a fleeting hope that some of these titles may exist. In fact, MGP7 does rather stand out among her Funny Girl / Romance peers doesn't she. I may have said that before. RHK? See GW Miller (I do hope you're following me). The ST, TOS and TTA gaps remain as gappy as ever. These gaps are so persistently gappy that you have to assume they are indeed gaps in the truest sense of gapdom. Like my dreams, they may never be fulfilled. Teen-Age Romance may well have been My Own Romance in another life but that still doesn't mean it has a pence book. TGK? See GW. And RHK. Anyroad (Fred Elliot), the hunt goes on and maybe one day a book will surface that isn't a Western. Wouldn't that be a thing. For those that have a passing pence interest, Archie, Kings and Dell are coming along very nicely and throwing up some interesting results. Although from the interest Bobby Heston generated I may leave the results in Pence Land. One for the book instead maybe. For those that can read between lines, today's four down made complete sense - 'weird pilot's shot down' (3-8). On with the maudlin (or was that motley?) Bee seeing you....

Did! Done!

Oh right, great. And the Badger 50 got an unexpected airing too. It was fun ferreting him out....

Could it be Badger #50 Jim? It's the only die cut issue I can find. Maybe the 'first issue' you remember is the first in First Comics? Nice looking comic either way

MARVEL 2nd PRINTING VARIANT books rock!

What, like those rubbishy old 'Golden Age' books you mean? I mean, why bother?

I know, I know, it was just another silly excuse for a thread Val Thinking about it, do you think we could have a similar function on the boards? If I typed in, say, -balderdash, all @lizards2's threads would disappear? @Architecht - when you have time, where do you stand on a balderdash filter?

@the_Thing ® Joel! I'm more popular than you and everything Watch out though, Callaway's coming up your rear. I don't know, the audacity of the man

I like it. But don't do it again while we're talking, as it's proper confusing.

Did you just change your avatar Zev?

Not a bad idea EP. Less painful than head removal I'm thinking.

OK, repeat after me: AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Does it make you ant to tear your own head off Zev? Or does it make you want to tear your own head off?

Marval. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

You know the score here. You're doing your searches for particular books, hoping for a result, and there it is. That poxy listing that never goes away and which drives you mad because it is so inexcusably rubbish! Exhibit A - Kid Colt Outlaw 114 Tum te tum, tum te tum, having fun looking for a pence Kid Colt - NO! It's Marvel. MarVEL! That picture! The damn comic only takes up one 6th of the picture AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! It's MARVEL! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! Have I got to buy it just to get rid of it! Knowing my luck he'd have another copy! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! Your turn

Does that make you want to kill the seller, or what!

I wonder why they removed his 'S'... ?

Cor! Terrific thread PopK
