"ON NOVEMBER 23, 1970, Lance Rentzel was arrested for exposing himself to a ten-year-old girl. Soon afterward, Joey Heatherton asked for a separation, comedians composed the Lance Rentzel Hit Parade, which included such song titles as "Easy to be Hard" or "Baby Love," and an unknown genius distributed a bumper sticker reading Keep It In Your Pants, Lance."

 

The joke I remember was that the evidence wouldn't stand up in court.

Saw that picture and went surfing for 1000000 comix info.

 

Whoa found this old interview in 1986.

Holy !

 

Is this guy STILL here in Montreal ??

 

Can i give him a message from any of you guys ?

 

As a newbie,id be delighted. :grin:

 

 

Worth watching.

Interesting that he mentions Frank Miller Dark Knight #1 being worth $30 back then as a good investment. Does anybody know what the book value of it is now?

 

$65 in NM, according to OS.

I sold my last NM copy for $18.75 doh!

Or just over $36 in 1986 money. Score!

yep inflation :) and with Ebay and Paypal fees we just about break even on his future investment pick.

$5000 for a Action 7. :takeit: ten of them

 

Taking 10 of them from Gerry would mean you might have 10 amateurish restored copies though :(

 

I have a hell of a story coming up for the board regarding Gerry, I'll post it in about a month's time when everything lines up. The timing of this thread is quite odd. I think the comic industry is about to witness the re-emergence of Gerry Ross. Everyone buying SA and GA books needs to be extra vigilant when dealing with CL, Kijiji, and ebay.

To be fair, Overstreet overvalues a lot of books, especially from the ' 80s onwards.

lol, thanks for altering my quote. Indeed, I should change it to avoid any potential further communications from him.

Old thread, i know. Just wanted to say that after all these years he is still indeed in Montreal. He goes through his old contacts trying to see if he can reach out to anyone to buy his books.
