Straw-Man

here's my only Centaur; but being the completionist i am, i'm dying for man of war 2! I've never heard of this title. ain't but two of them, and the prevailing wisdom is that the #2 is the last of all centaurs. i'm not an expert on this, tho'. Win? Steve?

yes; he awaits being bitten by the bug that gives one good taste in selecting a college athletic team to root for.

oh my god!! i'd have tried to steal it a little harder if i had known it was the 'frisco!!!!!!!! Okay, that cuts it! I will never post another book on this site ever again! People are trying to steal my books now! Watch out Bangzoom. It is dangerous around here! worry not, bangzoom; your books are beautiful, but i'll risk jail time only over a Timely.

Congrats Dino!! be careful with that book around Billy Parker, he likes printing defects and i need an action! i'll take it; love the error.

mini in number only, dk; great looking stuff.

that's my girl!!!!! pretty, yes; but i can beat her in a race running backward [that is, ME running backward]. Didn't she win last time? i don't recall; at my age, my memory...

koko, here ya' go. but in case you like it, before saying so, be aware: IT'S A CRACKED AND RESUBBED 7.0!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaarggggggggh, aaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh. ok, i'm past that. and i really hate stealing the thunder of the sleuth-that-woulda-been that was going to find an old picture somewhere [i'm not sure it's anywhere, as i bought it at a chicago con and don't know where it was before] and be THE MAN of the minute. aw, i can't lie--i don't hate stealing his thunder. anyway, i bought the book with a botched spot of glue, had it reduced a good deal and resubbed it. so glad it went up. for all you that wouldn't buy the tainted p.o.s., be aware it will die with me and will therefore be my heirs problem.

ryan, in this case, you say it GRAIL! way to go, sir.

'manic monday' was a big hit; i see no reason why you can't do something with 'timely tuesday.' think of the funny-books to be bought off the royalties!

Hey Billy just curious if you would have traded your copy for the October version? surfer: not a chance. the little stamp over 'oct' doesn't do much for me. the pay copy being a november pretty much lays to rest the debate over the thing in my mind. if i had the choice of two like books, same grade, same paper, i would take the october, however.

i am appreciating all the love for the book big time. thanks, all.

Link Billy's has much nicer pages too than the Cage copy. Just lovely! and, at 80000 beans, parker is sitting on a gold mine!...adoption papers are in the mail rick If the Cage is 80K, then Parker's must be 85K! At least a 5K bump for the pages. and mine is a pedigree! minor, yes, but one nonetheless!!

the cage books had two mc 1's; i think the other was an october 5.0. i don't think either had ow/w pages, which i really love about mine. thanks again Paul.

Billy, that copy is just incredible!!! MARVEL #1 would have to be my ultimate , unattainable grail... if I were to sell ALL my books, I'd be lucky if I could get a 1.5 !! IF I could find one for sale! The Frank R. Paul cover is one fo my golden age favorites... As Surfer said, I'm not worthy ... much appreciated Ryan. i've owned it over a decade now--i wouldn't be able to get this book today, so i'm very thankful indeed to have it. my ultimate grail as well.

and one more, that just went up on the m.m. pedigree thread. Billy that has some of the richest colors I have ever seen on a copy of that issue. thanks much Peter; it's my pride and joy.

Quietly.... I think I would be too shaken up to go quietly with a book like that begging to be held. there was poetic license used there; he can't do anything quietly.

Thanks RHG! I nearly wept... who are you kidding? 'nearly'? way to go my brother. i'm proud for you.

The man is on fire! he's using timely balm to soothe that 'gator roundball team wound.

glad you took my advice on going after the mm's nice and slow.

i was there when it was pointed out--wasn't mattie. it was a bird from a more northern clime. a very excitable bird. Do tell ...... gotcha; Parker, P.I.
