The Unofficial Underground Comix thread... 14 14

[Brother J]

My Whatnot handle is brotherjcomix, just like my eBay name. It’s an app, so you should be able to find it wherever you get apps from. I spend way too much money on Whatnot, it’s addictive. I have sold comics on there with mixed results. I thought trying underground’s on there might be a good idea as I have not seen anyone else selling them on there.

Thanks. I see, interesting collection, tough a little creepy indeed.  Do you collect them for professional reasons?

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

According to Google, creepy = causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.
I was just curious if you have a professional interest, say as a criminal lawyer, a criminologist, or a policeman, or maybe ...  :-).
Sorry, I didn't mean to open a thread about personal matters. Forget.

I see. I was not aware about and miss the special issue, too bad!

Thanks to let me know.

....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.....

You got me!   It is difficult to hide my accent.

The Bogeyman ones, or the C... one?

Two more issues of Rip Off Comix in today.  This gives me the 1-12 run, and for now at least that's as far as I'm going with the title.

You were busy today, @OtherEric...

[OtherEric]

Much of it was a big box of cheap goodies from MCS.

Finally tracked down a decent presenting copy.

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!

Great reading just on the front cover alone👍‼️❤️

Other than Warren stuff, this is the only thing that I've learned about here on the boards that I ended up buying for myself.

I paid a couple extra bucks for this copy, because it was being sold from Manhattan, Kansas, where I went to college and wrote and illustrated my own version of Hunter S. Thompson's classic, circa 1985 or so...

Back in the days when we wrote everything on a typewriter and did it right the first time, without the endless editing, copying and pasting of today's word processing software.

Other than the liquor and tobacco stains, it appears to still have White pages...

[FoggyNelson]

Your version is awesome Alf‼️👍
