San Diego Geekfest 1 1

[adamstrange]

RareHighGrade used to host an soiree at his place concurrent with the San Diego Con but that ended with the pandemic.

After a four year hiatus, we finally had a chance for a scaled down version.

Dr. Love kicked things off with some art and pulp digests.

He also brought a selection of rare give-aways, including one that has to be the best worst title ever for a comic.

comick1 shared a few of his top notch war comics, along with a sampling of his other interests.

Flying in from out of town limited my contributions.

Face reveal.

This does have a front cover but, as a red fanatic, it seemed hardly necessary to picture it.

RHG pulled out all the stops to make this a memorable occasion

His showing kicked off with this super sweet set of Charles Biro girl jeopardy covers:

He continued with rare Fox comics, including a Denver and Larson.

You think you've seen everything and then ...

Manuel the tuna fisherman saving some "breast o'chicken"?  Yeah... that's gonna be tough to beat.  I looked at issue #1 and it seems they were on a boat called "Breast O'Chicken"?  There's gotta be a story here.

*EDIT* : Ah, nevermind.  I see.  From MCS description : Story and art by Frieda Bart Hind. Featuring tales of high adventure set on the open sea, these were mail-away promotional comic books made for and to promote Brast-O-Chicken canned foods, a product of the Westgate-Sun Harbor Co.

I first discover that one from Scott Shaw!’s old SDCC “Esoteric” panels. My want list always expanded after one of those.

I always looked at those Geekfest threads with envy. Would have loved to attend one but didn’t know how to get a “Golden Ticket”…

That was a great series, I think I read them in CBM or CBG.  I ended up buying a bunch of weird books he recommended.  Ricky & Debbie in Sardineland, Muggy Doo Boy Cat, Elsie the Cow.  My tastes are still influenced by him.
