Robot Man Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 ‘Ole Robot Man didn’t leave empty handed either. Two books I’ve wanted bad for quite some time! Very fun day guys. Glad you could all make it. This is a fun way to get to know collectors in your area. More of you out of LA guys should try this in your area.

I picked up a pile of kids records and buried in the pile was this rare beauty. I think I plunked down a ten spot for the whole pile. I still remember watching the three part series on the Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color on a black & white tv. The great Patrick McGoohan played the lead role to perfection. "Scarecrow, Scarecrow, the soldiers of the King fear his name..." Edited September 8, 2019 by BitterOldMan KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening sequence had the Scarecrow and his henchmen hanging a sympathizer of the British troops. Only after the commercial break did you realize they had faked it! I remember being freaked out by that scene as a kid. If you like reading consider picking up the original source material which can easily be found on line.

Robot Man Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 A friend of mine bought this at the flea market yesterday because he thought it was unusual and gave it to me. I think so too. Anybody else ever see a hardbound MAD paperback? KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 About every two months we have a small little local LA comic con. Pretty small but a few decent dealers with some vintage stuff. What is also fun for me is there a few guys with cool, non comic book stuff. Pulps, BLB’s, pinbacks, toys and stuff. Got this killer Beatnik Halloween mask from probably the late 1950’s for $5.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Local guy Brad Sloan always has the best selection of vintage “F-VF” books. Practically all the SA/BA keys and always a decent amount of GA for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 This guy was a joke. Most of his stuff was low grade stuff. Very few GA. He was selling them “for half marked guide” prices. My momma didn’t raise no fool. He just priced them at double guide and was asking half off that. I made him a fair offer on these two but he turned me down with a sneer. I left ‘em...
