Senormac Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Had kids over for visit and dinner earlier. They're gone now. Wife is asleep. I just cracked a Voodoo Ranger IMP Ale, put on some Brock Human "Found" began looking through the pages of this old paper. I bought it a month ago at least but haven't had the time to really check it out. While I'm doing the page by page I thought I'd share them. Maybe not every single square inch of every page, but a lot of it Remember the old Friday night threads ?

Ken Aldred Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I was pretty much isolated from a wider community until I started reading the UK’s Fantasy Advertiser and BEM fanzines in the very late 70s, but I don’t know if they were published as early on as your paper there.

n2wdw Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I subscribed to this back in college (early 80s), right before it went from the newspaper size to the smaller size. I think Don and Maggie Thompson took over as editors soon after. I miss it. I wish I had kept my copies but many years ago I threw them away for space reasons (although I kept the 4 or so issues where my letters were published) Senormac and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a sub off and on..... it was THE source for books..... although Crestohl and Rogofsky got their share of my paper route money too. My first JIM 83 came from CBG..... about a good for $ 25 .....

namisgr Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the memories, Mac. It was a treat to get TBG in the mail starting in '73, triggering hours spent scouring the ads. I did a fair amount of buying back issue Silver Age Marvels and started building my collection of undergrounds (I may very well have bought a few from Sidebottom), all for the purposes of reading with their monetary value and condition never given a whiff of consideration. Just for the fun and entertainment of it all. Edited May 5, 2018 by namisgr Larryw7, KirbyJack and Senormac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the fun and entertainment of it all. !! It's true !! In those days, condition hardly mattered. It was more about securing the issue number. As long as the book wasn't totally wrecked, I was quite happy with it. I hated subscription creases though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
