I was surprised to find that that we didn't already have a club for this Wrightson greytone masterwork. Seeing as how I lucked into a copy of my own recently, I'll kick it off!

I've seen some really spicy copies on this forum, so let's see 'em!

Nice book! (worship)

 

I just have a couple of lowly mid-grade copies right now, but am aiming to get a nicer keeper copy in short order:

The second copy is very nicely centered, which seems to be very difficult for this book, especially in high grade copies. I know I've been searching for years for a 9.2. I've run across one copy that fit my requirements, but it had interior tanning which killed it for me.

 

The search continues........

Very nice books, folks!

 

Isn't the whole "A muck-encrusted mockery" thingie supposed to be for Man-Thing?

 

I've seen it used for both characters, but in Swamp Thing #1, they actually use the words in this panel:

There may be something similar in some Man-Thing issue, I don't know.

Swampy's definitely the more significant of the two. HOS 92 is on my short bucket list. Will eventually get a copy, but haven't seen the right one yet. Very hard to find with good page quality for some reason.

 

Too bad no one has taken advantage of Man-Thing though. Great potential with the right writer. Would love to see that first appearance take off.

I used to go with a girl that looked just like the girl on the cover. I gotta dig a picture out.

 

Please do!

Bought this NM OW/W, perfectly-centered keeper on the boards a few years back. It's one of my favorite books. :cloud9:

No collection is complete without one..... this is my keeper..... even though I occasionally throw it in a sales thread at about twice what any one would pay..... It's Don and Maggie's copy, and that makes it extra special to me.....somehow it snuck into a Heritage Sunday auction :cloud9: GOD BLESS...
