Stephen King wrote a goodly number of stories for Playboy, amongst many other "fine art" publications.

 

And yes, I finally remembered my password! So long, slym2... we barely knew ye.

I'll be interested to see how we remember Stephen King in 50 years. Not sure you can breath his name in the same vein as Flemming and Bradbuy but maybe...

 

IMHO, he is already up there with the other greats. But, since he is my favourite fiction author of all time, I may be a bit biased.

I think he's pretty much locked as one of the 20th century's most popular writers. And the movie connection will place him ahead of a lot of better writers in history's context.

 

"Popular" doesn't mean he will endure the test of time though.

I read Playboy for the articles.

 

See back in the day they had some superb literature in Playboy. That hasn't been true for a long time though. Heck, Ian Flemming wrote some of his early James Bond stories for Playboy. And I believe Edgar Rice Burrows got his start in Playboy. Even Ray Bradbury initially wrote Fahrenheit 451 for Playboy.

 

I don't think we are seeing that level of literature in the magazine anymore. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong though.

 

Edgar Rice Burroughs died before the first issue of Playboy was published. I didn't think it was possible to type something that stupid, and yet, there it is.

And I believe Edgar Rice Burrows got his start in Playboy.

This ranks up there with the infamous water color remark years ago about how WWII started when the NAZI air force bombed Pearl Harbor.

 

 

One of ERB's first big best sellers was A Princess of Mars (1912)

Playboy (1950s)

 

Maybe old ERB borrowed HG Well's Time Machine.

 

Some where in the time stream I can see ERB sitting on a stack on Actions 1s laughing at us all.

That was the best "5 minutes ago" meme I could find on a moments notice. I thought it worked...

He's talking about ER BURROWS

 

2 totally different guys! Instead of Tarzan, he wrote a lot of titty jokes (thumbs u

 

 

About Tarzan?

 

Another interesting point, the original Tarzan movie was one of the first "big budget" films to have a topless woman.

 

I'm full of these interesting facts. I'm sure someone will prove me wrong though...

Pics or id didn't happen.

 

 

Once you spend 10 minutes on this board you know first hand that Id happens....Id is happening all over the damn place.

How about that? A happy ending! And a fine example of a thread hijacked several places along the way, but still returned to its roots.

 

Glad you got it worked out Andy.

Oh no hurt feelings- sarcasm can be hard to pick up on in a message board.

 

And as an English teacher, I deserved to be called out on such a stupid comment. Ive never been good with numbers- I guess that is why I'm an English teacher and not a math teacher!

[passion4comics]

It’s the equivalent of a felony in Hungary, Poland, Germany, Brazil, and I think France too to show or display a swastika. I think the Hammer and Sickle are banned too in some Countries. EBay in its infinite wisdom crushed WW2 collectors years ago by banning anything German with a swastika slapped on it. I see coins and stamps, but you will not find officers swords too often and if you do, I think they slipped through. EBay is a politically correct company that pushes it onto seller compliance. WW2 did happen; I guess in EBay world it didn’t. I also am guessing in EBay’s mind they want to be internationally compliant with laws and they do not want to possibly offend anyone.

 

Let’s be realistic and draw some lines. Banning Na Zombie comics are a little silly. Some insufficiently_thoughtful_person was selling gold teeth and some other insane stuff years ago. That’s in bad taste unless it’s going to a museum and would have its place documenting the atrocities of the era. However, the Japanese chrysanthemum isn’t banned and the things that were done in WW2 by the Japanese made the Germans look like Boy Scouts.

 

It’s all about political correctness. I would just re-list it. You did nothing wrong.

 

EDIT: Never-mind I see you cleared it up.
