porcupine48 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Barks and Schomburg are the two that got away for me. I think I still have a Barks "file copy" that says "Property of Carl Barks" I believe. Love to see the Weird Science Fantasy and hear the back story if you met him. Here's my meager Barks sig...I dropped in on him at his house in Goleta in '74 and asked him to sign this for me (kind of like what Sheldon did to Stan Lee in that BBT episode, but with nicer results ). I assume he did the cover, as he never said he didn't. He talked to my friend and I for an hour. What a gentleman... Brian,I usually preffer my sigs on the innards...but that just fits perfect!!!

Robot Man Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Dropped in on Kirby too, and he signed this for me. He was another total gentleman. Very cool sigs from two of the biggies! I remember how you could just go over to their homes to meet them. I never had the guts to do it, I went to Forest Ackerman's mansion of horror and he gave me and my buddy the grand tour. There were just priceless pieces in there. My favorite of your two is the Foxhole. Nice book and very classy signature placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Forget Felix...now we are cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 My heart aches to read these! They are all pretty good reads. While I had them out, I went through and re-read a lot of them. Most of my pre-code horror books have been read by me many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thought I'd share some cool Shadow stuff with you today. Nothing like the amazing stuff Dwight has but the Shadow is not a main focus to me. I've just gotton stuff that I like over the years and managed to hang on to. I have maybe a third of the Shadow comic run but this is one of my favorites. Great "surrealistic" skull cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 1942 Shadow and Doc Savage pulp covers. I think this was a war bonds promotion that all publications ran the same flag covers during this month long period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yeah, that's a good one Brian. I got one of those too. Got a great story about it and a Batman #1 that I might relate some time. Was at the zoo last week, saw this and thought of you. Looks they had more fun that day than I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
