Probably the same ones that read pre code horror comics...

How is it that no one has made Rice Honeys since?  Seems like an obvious win.

Japanese insert posters for three Female Convict Scorpion films (1972-1974) starring Kaji Meiko with one from Lady Snowblood.

I wonder if those were crispy like Kellog's Rice Krispies or soft like Quaker's Puffed Rice.

One of these is unopened. But no way am I opening it to find out…

I think I've mentioned watches here before. I got a newer one a few weeks ago.  It's a Xeric Halograph automatic. It's a lot of fun and happens to #: 007.

Apparently it was on life support for another 2 decades or so, and under different names, before they finally gave up on it : https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=312

It sounds a lot like other cereals that were still around in the 80's and probably still around.

Also saw this interesting video on it :

Finally got one of these.

Ridiculously rare fanzines.

[Cat-Man_America]

Potpourri of acquisitions other than comics I've collected (covering programs, fanzines and art)...

A couple of examples of Comic and SF convention programs that I've attended and/or guested (art attribution, Richard Corben & your's truly):

Fanzines (first 3 Squa Tronts; Jerry Weist) from early EC fandom (art attributions: Roger Hill, Al Williamson and Al Feldstein)

Original paintings (Alex Schomburg Frank Kelly Freas and George Rozen):

Apologies for any images reposted from earlier in this thread (haven't gone back through all 50+ pages) ...but still there's more!

A slight twist- this was Jerry’s Capa-Alpha Squa Tront contribution with different content and signed by Jerry as well.

The color in this Alex Schomburg painting is just awesome.  I've seen pulp/digest covers by him that were nice, but this is really exceptional.

The painting was commissioned by publisher John C. Winston as hard cover dust jacket for the 1954 novel Trouble On Titan by Alan E. Nourse...

Note: I don't have a copy of the novel, but located this image.

The novel was reprinted in '86 as an Ace paperback and by Simon & Shuster's Prologue SF line (ePub), but in both cases with different art.

Printed cover looks good, but the original painting is sublime.

Got this toy yesterday (the one on the right)

It’s been hard to limit collecting just comics but anything Disney especially books from 1930 or 1940 if with dust jacket all the better
