  1. Mmmmmm.... bugs! Except for the spine roll she presents nicely, But some wormy critter had a nice dinner munching through the interior The close-up makes it look worse than it is.
  2. :busy: Yep... looks like things are getting back to normal!
  3. I think a lot of the complaints about navigation and features sound whiney, but not the comments about eye strain. Legibility is a legitimate problem and near the top of the priority list, I hope.
  4. Sub-Mariner 51 is one of the Everett issues, no? Those are on my list to pick up one of these days. That got me thinking: GA art is poopy, right? What about poopy GA artists who also drew in the SA or BA? Are they still poopy?
  5. OH, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Our man Sid owes me $200.... Shoot me now..... Sid hasn't posted in three weeks. I think he took a powder.
  6. I thought half the fun here was to re-type the same posts?
  7. Not to dismiss the book - its beautiful, and nicer than mine - but I've always preferred full covers to split or multi-panel covers. I wonder if they were Kirby's concept, Stan's or a Martin Goodman edict akin to Irwin Donenfeld's decision for recurring ape covers.
  8. Can't we get through one day here without talking about Greggy's junk? No! More of the "Sweet Greggy Junk Trunk Collection" books added to my collection. Mags are sweet! I don't know what he was doing with this must have been stuck to a 100 pager. I imagine he wrapped it securely as he always does, and you're happy with the books, so you'd say Greggy had a nice package?

  10. Great honkin' big kudos to cd4ever for the swell books, going above and beyond to get me the book I wanted when I typoed an issue number, and for his always entertaining sales threads. And great honkin' big kudos to Rhino for some more swell books and great freebies! Both gentlemen are A-1!
  11. If this happened to me on ebay I would have already filed. I’ve yet to have a package take more than 1 week to reach Canada, usually it’s 4-5 days. Are you certain its the post office and not lazy shipping? And to have a month go by with no response on the other is inexcusable. I don’t want a witch-hunt, but probation without any teeth is not going to do any good. If for some reason you don’t wish to out these people, I would truly appreciate a PM because they are not folks I would want to do business with.
  12. Heartfelt kudos for nice books and fast shipping to BigMike, cd4ever and Greggy! I was however slightly disappointed my books weren't wrapped in corrugated underwear boxes.
  13. I am a cynical sort; how does a clerical error justify a lack of response to your inquiries? If you don't feel comfortable outing this person here, would you mind sending me a PM? This isn't anybody I want to do business with either.
  14. But that has the effect of bumping viable, running sales posts down or potentially off the page. People aren't supposed to post multiple threads for separate books; pre-selling amounts to similar spam. A fitting punshment. But who's going to enforce it? It would be simpler and easier if pre-sales hype wasn't allowed so we didn't need a penalty. I'm probably not making myself popular with forum sellers with this post.
  15. Great gif! But do you have one for a long box?
  16. Yeah, although I wonder if things worked out for dudeman5000. That's way too long to get a response in my book, even if he finally heard something.
  17. I voted for this, especially when the hype is placed within multiple areas of the forum. As Tuco would say "If you're gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk." Yup, same here. Y'know dzminn, there's two kinds of men in the world: Those with loaded guns, and those who dig.
  18. A poll by Arch missing the requisite crack option??! What are these boards coming to?
  19. First Unmovedmover, then KingofRulers, Rhino... I must be next!
  20. Uh, yeah... Kudos to people that I bought books from and actually sent them! Waitaminnut, I think my kudos are premature....
