Don't get me wrong -I love em. I'm re-reading my Kirbys as we speak.

If you haven't read em in 20 years you should.

I find the recycled dialogue in all the modern X Men ripoff books to be intolerable....

Kirby didn't recycle anything-he forged new stuff. Some people say Kamandi was a planet of the apes ripoff but the DIALOGUE was NOTHING like planet of the apes.

 

The dialogue in most of the modern books is midway between fanciful and numbing.

 

Kamandi clearly represent what you could make by working thoughfully on a not-so-well accomplished idea development (i.e. the Planet of the Apes) turning it into an accomplished adventure series (with a lot of food for thought too). In Kamandi, Kirby's relative weakness in dialogue is largely compensated by the straight forward and complelling narration.

This is from the statue thread. Just wanted to say "THANK YOU!!" to quadman78 and rfoiii. Randy for offering up his extra statue at cost (and covering shipping) and Robb, much to my surprise, paying for it!!

 

I'm sure it's buried in this thread, but does anybody have this?

 

Junkdrawer was trying to find one at Boston Comic Con and since I just picked up a BA12, I kind of want on! I've always loved Bruce Timm's art and this just looks cool. Wondered if someone here has one.

 

 

Hey Swicky...I have an extra I might be willing to part with if you're serious.

 

How much? 2nd editions are pre-selling for just under $70.

 

Swick could use a nice gift for all the good he has done around here lately.

 

Feel free to PM me if we can make a deal.

[HarveySwick]

 

I thought he took your offer. Let me go update the list... again.

[kav]

sorry-those books were in my offer and jimmers wanted em so I RAK'd em.

[jsilverjanet]

No offense but why not make that your offer and get off the hot seat :shrug:

[kav]

cause Jimmers really wanted em

[Chaseman210]

No offense but why not make that your offer and get off the hot seat :shrug:

 

I think they originally were in his offer.

[CAHokie]

cause Jimmers really wanted em

 

That was nice of you Kav! Next time, tell Jimmers to claim them and jump into the fun.

[HarveySwick]

cause Jimmers really wanted em

Then he'd be THE perfect person to your offer!

 

It's cool - the whole point of the thread is giving and they are absolutely your books to do with as you please. I guess I just cant understand why someone wouldn't just claim an offer if they liked the books.

[jsilverjanet]

It would be a real shame if you ended up getting a strike yet gave the same books in your offer as a RAK
