I really hope he comes back. That sucks. I hope he's okay? I like Kav’s enthusiasm. But, I’m likely to be off soon as well. onlyweaknesskryptonite, KirbyJack, 1950's war comics and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few things I need to catch up on. I can’t really write anything lengthy at present as I’m having some work done on the house that’s required me to take out the broadband, and I only have limited phone data. 1950's war comics, KirbyJack, onlyweaknesskryptonite and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Here's a Golden age ridiculous Super Hero FIRE-EATER! The artist who created him..... I kid you not "Wood Byrns" Look at that costume He's like a fire eating Chippendale dancer. And his powers..... LAME. He can blow fire. But he has to swallow a capsule first. So.... a guy pulls a gun on him, and he has to say "Wait! Let me swallow this before you shoot!" In the second photo.... he's found a German U-boat. Time to use his super power on the Periscope! Okey dokey.... now what. Edited February 17, 2021 by gadzukes Ken Aldred, FoggyNelson and nmtg9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst is that up until the point at which I started messing about with my key books I’d been extremely cautious. I burned out at exactly the right time to do maximum damage. Given the ridiculous and often unaffordable prices keys are going for now, I already find the money talk and boiler room attitude here very depressing, and time for me to stop being involved with a physical product that I can’t safely curate or replace in the long term. I’ll still obtain cheap reading material by buying digitally, huge bundles available there, but for someone with my meagre resources a lot of what goes on here isn’t relevant anymore. This is one of the few threads that I believe has a larger gathering of people that actually do care about the stories, artwork, creators, etc, and I appreciate your interest and concern. I wonder though, if it's enough to continue on here.

Hey, Ken. I am really sorry that happened. I think many of us can see ourselves making a mistake like that, which is one of the reasons your post was painful to read. After long ago perfecting my technique for changing boards and bags on books, I managed to get my first tape pull on a book in a very, very long time (at least thirty years). It wasn’t a key book, but it was a high-grade book that I really liked, and it’s not so high grade now. I really beat myself up about that for a few weeks, so I can only imagine how you are feeling right now. All of that is to say that accidents happen, everybody does something that makes us feel dumb every now and then, and I hope you stick around.
