Haven't seen that edition previously. I have a signed/ltd. and a regular unsigned copy of this edition I found at a library book store a few years ago for a couple of bucks! My favorite version of the Kafka book, since I already had a few of the pb versions that came out before! In other UG news, I discovered this while perusing new arrivals at the Bud Plant web store! The 4th edition of the Corben Plague classic, and apparently only 500 copies. Continues the numbering, though having skipped a couple of numbers, of an EC Fanzine that I thought no longer extant! Happy to see that is not the case, but now champing at the bit for the 2 yet to exist issues in the run, numbers 14 and 15!!!

Figured he was an honorary club member because of it.

White House Plumbers (2023 HBO) s01e01

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

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (4/16/23, HBO) \

T for Teen! Stoner GOLD!

I always looked at collecting UG as more akin to collecting books rather than comic books, thus firsts were very important to me. Of course I was always happy to have a nice condition later print as a placeholder until my objective was attained!

When I scored my Plymell Zap back in the mid-90's, the store I got it from was still using Kennedy, and sold me the book based on a fraction of the $140 listed there! At the time the LCS had no other clientele that was UG friendly and immediately thought of me when they uncovered the Zap in a forgotten box of material left over from a previous owner's cache. I paid somewhere between $30 and $40 as there were a few other UG items mixed in and I paid $50 for the whole lot, with my eye especially on the Plymell. I did score a couple of mint copies of SFCB #1 for amazingly cheap in the early 2000's due to a typo in the original Fogel Guide which listed a top condition copy at $3, which the store owner abided by when pricing the comix! I didn't argue as I had paid slightly more for 3 other copies Gary Arlington sold me when he found a few in a storage cabinet while I was asking him about something else! It was weird to go from having no copies of that supposedly scarce funnybook, to all of a sudden having a seeming plethora in a coincidentally short time frame.....since then....bupkis!

PBA special! Not a bad deal! I know the guy who used to own it! Presents very chicly! Congrats!

A year and a half! Wow......makes me wonder if any have died while waiting for their goods to be returned! What a business!

Crazy cover! Loving it!!!!!

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!

MAD #131 - IFC

Funnily enuff, I got a promo email from Walgreens this week for a free 8x10" glossy photo of my choice, some sort of Valentine's Day deal, and opted for a nice repro of that cover, which came out pretty well, and is now hanging in a nice frame in the living room! Such a terrific image, indeed! Very nice copy, deadleg!

That second copy is gold! Does it include all the inserts, attached or unattached, and the errata/instructions for the Mobile? I always wonder who 'sealed' those copies that one sees for sale these days. When I was haunting B. Dalton Bookseller back in 1969 I never saw a sealed copy of the book! I spent many hours trying to figure out a way to extract $9.95 from my loved ones for such a 'funnybook' as I sat in the store nursing whatever copy was at hand, on my various visits!!! . Does anybody wonder why there is never a price sticker found on the wrap? I've never seen one, and the price is on the flap of the dust jacket. My theory is that W. M. Gaines had somebody wrap copies he stowed away in his vault! Also, shrinkwrapping is easy to do these days! I know records were shrinkwrapped in 1969, but I never saw a book that way until many years later!!!......thus those copies always remain mysterious to me....and I am obsessed with REM! I have 11 copies but here are my best looking, and complete, 6!!!! I include a pic of the Andy Warhol Index Book as it is the closest kind of book I can think of from the era, that also contains a bunch of gimmicks, and one can see how it was displayed on a shelf.....in a plastic bag, not shrinkwrapped, with a price sticker!!!! Yes.....I'm insane about these books.....I love inserts and bonuses in my reading materials!!!!!

This is why I started buying stocks at roughly the same age I began collecting comics.......

The month of my birth issue! Was the first real back issue of MAD I ever sought out!

There's the deal! Got anymore Milo coming down the pike, or the like?

I pm'ed you for instructions.

I'll take it!

....serial killer? .....special effects technician? I understand 'creepy'. it was the context that baffled me. I'm guessing by your grammar etc. English is not your first language. 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? You might, therefore, find this of interest from my little library that you asked me about previously...... And just to bring the festivities back on track, here's a little something of John Thompson's from the December 24, 1968 issue of San Francisco Express Times, I found while doing a little cleaning around the house.....

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

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

Hope you provide a link, should you go that way. Have not experienced Whatnot, but it looks quite interesting if everything is sold live? can't quite get a feel for it, and your goods might be just the thing for giving it a try!!!

'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......
