Very cool. This thread has only been around for a few hours and I have already added several things to my wantlist. 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

Don't worry Andy, I'm sure you'll be able to find a copy of that book I posted "How to Pick up Girls if you are a Comic Book Geek". There are always more available at the cons. It's collectible AND practical. poke2.gif

I have one already, along with most of the other 3-Geeks stuff. Really funny comics. I like the "go to a con" story arc.

Here is a modern independent rarity. This is a mini-comic that was only sold for a short time via mail order from Slave Labor (which is how I got mine, at the age of 16). I have only seen one other copy of it ever. I don't think most Milk and Cheese fans even know that it exists.

Google is your friend. Have you ever read Gnatrat? It's even better than Ralph Snart.

 

Gnatrat. Such a funny book laugh.gif

i worship at the altar of Mark Martin. he's got a website, markmartin.net, upon which you may find a link called "write for me." it's a silly six-panel cartoon he's asking people to redo. i did one and exchanged emails with the guy. he's rather personable.

 

if you can find the old Fantagraphics Books title "Jim," by Jim Woodring, there are a bunch of great Mark Martin shorts in the back. seriously, the guy's got a genius for the hilarity

One of my favorites.

 

The e-bay seller wrote:

 

You are seeing a comic book that many thought did not exist. This is the cover of IF AN A-BOMB FALLS. This COLD WAR CIVIL DEFENSE COMIC BOOK was produced in 1951, at the height of ATOMIC PARANOIA.

 

The rarity of this comic book cannot be overstated. This comic book is not even supposed to exist. According to an authoritative article about this publisher:

 

If an A-Bomb Falls (U S Government, 1951, 8 pages) Rare. Designed as a brochure, but only published as a color strip on the front page of the Washington Post in July 1951. Only a few hand bound copies of the brochure were made. 2 copies are believed to exist.

 

Well, here is another copy of this rare comic book. Perhaps this copy was hand-bound and assembled and distributed by the Civil Defense Directors of RALEIGH COUNTY, West Virginia whose names are stamped on the back cover - HAROLD SOPHER and PAUL FOURNEY

 

[note: I know of a couple more copies].

Mark Martin has a new Fantagraphics comic Runaway Comics out. Great Stuff. I recall Tantalizing Tales having Woodring & Martin stories, I didn't know Martin did back ups in Jim. i was always lukewarm towards Woodring (reading his stuff in anthologies was enough) and never picked up Jim, which issues had Martin back-ups?
