  1. Your best bet is probably finding someone local who does metal fabrication and let them make one for you.
  2. Ashcans weren't really being produced in 1983, so that would be an oddity. Maybe it was something produced for a DVD release? I have an Ashcan sized "Land of the Giants" #1 that has the Gold Key logo and everything. It was produced for a DVD. DG I passed on it but I will pick it up during the Christmas break. I still can't find any info on it anywhere. Do you have a scan or something? I wasn't even aware an ashcan existed. No. It was a typical ashcan. IIRC the cover was on yellow stock. Black only printing, not color. It wasn't typical for 1982 & 1983. It could have been created to promote Pacific at conventions. If your discovery is true, collectors would have viewed it as something easy to bootleg/fake and not had a lot of confidence in it as a collectible. DG I'll post scans of it when I pick it up in a few weeks. My Christmas break started this past weekend, so I'm still looking forward to seeing the scan of this. I like rarities and oddities. DG My Christmas plans have changed so it may be another month or so before I can get back to pick it up. You better let me pick it up for you then. Someone else might grab it in the meantime. Nobody is going to get it. Trust me.
  3. I have a similar Lady Death ashcan that is numbered.

  5. Is it a real 9.8 or one of those pity books?
  6. Hugh Jackman Congrats - pic? It was just graded from CGC. FOUL! If it were just graded you can't get the grade yet! FOUL!
  7. My first print Fantagor #1. My CGC 9.2 Vampirella #1.
  8. Yeah, but the "time being" has been a long time being, with no signs of ever being better any time sooner.
  9. I've never personally seen a copy of that mag even remotely in high grade.
  10. I just submitted two Stevens books through Fast Track. They should hit receiving today.
  11. Just sent a Modern FT sub. How are the TaT's doing? Better or worse?
  12. You just moved up a notch on my list of people I envy.
  13. Good eye! I don't think Spell-Check is as appreciated as it should be. Or, Cpell-Check as the case may be.

  16. Talk to spidermanontits. He has a connection with Tony Moore.
  17. Because in the comic he was pure evil without reservation. Not so much in the show. Merle is more the Governor in the show. If Governor was what Merle is, I'd be singing his praise. I'm not getting my jollies off on a rape scene by any means. At this point Governor is going to have to do something this evil and heartless to completely get him away from the pansy-assed character he is on the TV show. More Gov, less love. The writers are developing him more as a cult leader than an outward evil character. So basically they've taken two of the greatest pieces of the comic story, Michonne and Governor, and eliminated all the things in both characters that made them so great. I'm enjoying the TV show, but I'm ready for Michonne and the Governor to show up. At this point, I'm ok with both characters being killed off at the end of this season. They're both facepalms.

  19. Is it just me or is Carl a little eager to put a bullet in people's heads? Random: "So-n-no just got bit." Carl: "Turn your head. I'll shoot him in the face."
