oh - you're right! i didn't look at his other auctions.

 

with harry osborne coming up in another SM movie - this book may be a keeper.

[ArAich]

nice book, to be sure....but if I were in a sniping mood I would have a tendancy to go for THIS book...which is currently at the same price...

[ArAich]

I've seen a few Okajima pedigree books, there were some in the past Heritage auction. They seem to be Golden Age adventure books, from what I've seen.

I have an Okajima book, and while it isn't high grade, the colors are nice and the pages are white. There's at least one Okajima copy in the current Heritage auction that's identified as such on the CGC label. There was a "Certificate of Authenticity" that came with it that explains where the collection came from, lmk if anyone wants to see it. I believe Alan Bahr, from Heroes-something-or-another(?) out in California found the collection.

No kidding - I'd MUCH rather have that book! It's truly rare and quite the looker!

What a great cover. Nice book Doc B.

That cover is awesome. She seems a little over-dressed for a KKK rally. Thank God Running-pleated-pants Man is coming to save the day!

I love those Clown/Ringmaster/Equestrian pants (pantalones de Pagliacci). Claude Kirschner, the Ringmaster/World's Worst Ventriloquist with "Clownee" on channel 9 NYC that hosted a cartoon show in the late 50s and early 60s (a la Officer Joe Bolton, Capt. Jack McCarthy, Sandy Becker, et al) wore those same ridiculous pants!!

 

I had no idea that the KKK used Cobras in their trailer trash terror campaign!! You learn something useful every day!!!

[clobberintime]

Well I guess you have never been to Alabama or Mississippi then? I hear Trent Lott has a closet full of cobras!

I'll sick my trouser snake on her.

Ronnie L Murry will be the tallest dealer at Wonder Con. He consistently has nice raw 50s & silver age books for sale. Saw him sell 10 hi-grade Hulk 181 to Harley at San Diego con during dealer set up. Ron had a 12 pack of raw Hulk 181s.

[hammer-migration]

Is he Michael Jordan tall (6' 6")? Or Big Show tall (7' 0")?? Or Shawn Bradley tall (7' 6") Or Robert Wadlow tall (8' 11")?? Or Giraffe tall (18')??

Did anyone happen to check out his feet? Maybe he's standing on his partner's shoulders! Or there could be a moat dug around his table, giving him the illusion, from the viewer's perspective, that he's a giant. They use to do that technique with Alan Ladd's leading ladies (dig a hole for them to stand in).

[clobberintime]

Where did this thread take that left turn at Albakurquey(?) ? I thought we were talking about the KKKs use of cobras to interrogate victims! But if we are talking about tall guys - maybe he just wears shirts with vertical stripes or long skinny numbers to appear taller.
