MrBedrock Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Picked up these recently...both books I've wanted since I was a teenager, seeing them for the first time in a mid 70's OSPG. The Stuntman is a Mile High and it's still sinking in that I own a real Church book....and one that I really care about. I'm going to have to be careful not to pick up a taste for pedigree books with my lower income bracket. These don't compare to the stuff you guys post, but I figured I'd share what I could. I've been a Frazetta nut since the Ace Paperback days, so the Thunda is a book that I would want to be one of the last books I'd sell when that time comes. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Those are two sweet books Jim (thumbs u The Stuntman is like an old friend. That was one of the batch that Burrel Rowe originally got from Chuck. It stayed with Camelot when Burrel handed the store to his manager Willie Patterson (who recently passed). It was then available through a local shop called Happy Trails for a few years and finally sold in the early nineties. There were two or three times where I almost bought it. But at a $1000 - $1500 in the eighties it was always just a little more than I wanted to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Richard.....I was curious about all that, you must've read my mind (which usually doesn't take long at all ). It was WAY more than I could afford, but actually went for quite a bit less than guide. I want to take it out of the slab BAD.....trying not to, as I'd turn it into a 9.2 in short order. I own an Airboy V10/3 Mile High...only 6.5 and probably snagged by Church used....I don't really count it as a TRUE Mile High. My buddy Lewis has a large chunk of the Justice Traps The Guilty MH run and they're raw and awesome.....it's going to take nerves of steel to leave this slabbed. Maybe someone has some nerves of steel I could borrow for a while.....GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Edited December 11, 2011 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comixcroz Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'm jealous of the Thunda #1. OWW pages - Okajima Pedigree. Looks nicer than technical grade. This one deserves a golfclap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
