Button - button - who's got the button ? 2 2

[Senormac]

So a couple years ago, artboy99 and thehumantorch  (because they knew I appreciated BWS), sent me a button from a large collection they had acquired.  It was button # 44 from a late 70's series produced by PINBACK JACK (or Dennis Kitchen) of 54 comic artists of the era, underground and mainstream,  with each artist drawing their OWN LIKENESS FOR THEIR BUTTON !!!  A really cool idea, and a pretty wonderful piece of comic history IMO.  

I have since landed all the buttons in this set (although NOT ALL ARE ORIGINALS!!   BEWARE !! ) and have been working on an idea to display them all, as a set, on one of my walls.  Here is my progress. 

 

1.  All the buttons

2. 1 piece of sheet metal

3. Couple of magnets on back of button

4. Stick to sheet metal in order

6. Close up of a few buttons.

BWS from his Rupert Bear period.

Thx Dave.  I pondered it a long time before I came up with this idea.  When finished I'll post again.

Aside from comic books, pinbacks are my favorite things to collect. Small, colorful, a challenge to find and you can have so many in such a small space. Most are “regional” so hard to find out of your geographical area. There are many that only just a couple examples still exist.  My favorite are comic characters pre-1960. Although, many advertising, sports and political have found their way into my collection. I don’t find as many as I used to but always happy to add a few to my collection.

Damn that is so cool. I'm loving the 1933 Worlds Fair pin. 🤠

I think the only pin that survived the 80s is my trusty "Excuse me, but you're standing on my " pin.

Ok, guess you can't say that, but it's spelled kind of like pin is.

Thanks for sharing guys - these are great.

 

This is why I use these boards - the knowledge that people have, the way they freely share - and stuff like this, purely for the love of the hobby

 

Congrats again guys - awesome comic history - thanks so much for sharing

An interesting group of creators. I notice that many are from the underground comix scene of that time.

Well, we do need a CGC Board Theme Song, so we're well on our way on the music side
