OOBA DOOBA!

 

Which issue was he in? I swear, Stan came up with the craziest monster names...

 

I thought he was in TOS, but that is an easy mistake to make.

 

It was actually OOBA, son of DOOBA... and he only appeared in the STRANGE TALES ANNUAL! ;)

Ah. Makes sense that OOBA would accomplish more than his dad. The old man liked to burn tree, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, dad was always more interested in his veggie bowls than world domination.

 

....he kept forgetting what his plan was. GOD BLESS...

I posted this in the Group Shot Thread, but in case some of you guys don't browse that thread, here it is again.

 

Special Thanks to Dale Roberts for the #92 that came in the mail today. I was going to take a group shot of just the 8.0+ set, but it didn't fit in a photo well, so I added the three earlier issues to even it out.

Very tough to put together a run of any of the preheros in 8.0 or higher!! Great set + love the stairs set up as well!! :cloud9::headbang: I've forgotten to mention that I've bought stuff on ebay from you, going back a ways, early 2000s.

 

Thanks Rich, this was a long time in the making and is still a work in progress - especially on the earlier portion of the run that isn't far along enough to share yet. I was inspired by your stair shots for your TOS run. In all the time I've been working on the set, I haven't put them on display together like that before. It was a nice way to spend an evening.

 

Hard to believe it, but I've been on ebay for almost 14 years now. Things have changed a lot in collecting and on ebay in that time.

Glad I could find an audience to share with who appreciates them as much as I do.

 

I don't know why, but Strange Tales seems to be the title most difficult to find copies above fine. GOD BLESS...

Oh yes it is appreciated... And those of us working on our own ST pre-hero runs know how hard this set is to build let alone in high grade like you have done. You should be proud of such a beautiful run.

We appreciate, we appreciate :cloud9:

 

Strange Tales and JIM are both really hard to get pre-hero runs in. Congratulations

on a most excellent set
