trmoore54 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) It's the open possibilities that are so fascinating. Will he be eaten by the cat? Will the big guy squash him like a bug? Will the big guy reach his expiration date, so boldly marked on his starched white shirt, and die before he squashes the little guy? Why are the walls so thin and what is holding that lamp in the wall up? Why does the cat only have three toes? Endless possibilities. lol XLNT observations cheetahman! Also, why does the big guy have his shirt on backward?? And why does the cat have five legs? I was wrong, that's a great cover! I'm pretty sure that's his tail in the middle... definitely a mutant cat though... (thumbs u Edited September 22, 2009 by trmoore54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second-last one (with only one toe) is his white-tipped tail curled under. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'd also like to know why the cat's shadow is smoking a cigar. Early Thing prototype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??? Mocking a Kirby pre-hero cover...For shame, for shame... If you notice, the big guy's hands appear to be on backwards as well... Now I will have to dig this one out of the vault to see what REALLY happens in the story!

cheetah Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I thought you guys might like that. I've got a half dozen more coming back in the next couple of weeks, this one just went through faster. I was really expecting an 8.5. The PQ is about where I expected.

Tatterdamillion Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Even a DC man like me needs bow before you! That is incredible. I remember when you came to the boards you posted some sweet TOS's in the spare a grade section, is this from the same source?

Especially for books I don't plan to handle anymore. I'm not looking at selling right now though I'd probably part with this before most of my Avengers collection.

cheetah Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Next best are a couple of 7.5s. There's a qualified 9.2 but I don't know why its qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Gorgeous book, Cheetah. The TOS #1 in Qualified 9.2 has cream to off-white pages and was 3-hole punched, just like it's brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That is sad. My LCS has a nice run of Planets that are three-hole punched. Do you/did you own the TOS copy? Regardless, that is a nice book with excellent cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, but your 3-hole punched books don't bother me at all. Of course it helps that they're so sharp otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
