Show me something I've never seen!

In regards to the A-Bomb comic:

 

Yeah I know what to do: kiss my arse goodbye!

 

My thoughts exactly

[Norrin_Radd]

If I can find it, I'll post my copy of Cerberus #1. (not a mispell )

My humble contribution. Always cool when CGC won't give you your book back because they've never seen it before:

 

 

I was wondering who submited that book. You have one, I sent one to Ian and I kept one. Did you ever obtain any other info regarding the logo.

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

 

Gnatrat. Such a funny book

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

 

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?

 

 

actually you are right, they are the "Tantalizing Tales" issues that had the M.M. stories in them...at least, i'm 99% sure of that. i might have to check my copies tonight

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.

 

 

Count me in with another copy. It was advertised in a regular issue of M+C, that's how I got mine (like 8-10 years ago?). Here's a scan from inside:

Uncommon? I think this was a CBLDF book - 1,500 copies? All signed.

Life in Hell mini-comic signed and numbered by Matt Groening. Given to me by him in 1984 after I told him I was a big fan of the strip and had been reading it almost since it first appeared in the LA Reader. When I said I could pay for the comic, he told me it was a gift.

This probably qualifies.

 

Back in the old days before the internet, the way that fans communicated with each other was through amatuer-produced fanzines. This is from the very first series of fanzines from the world of Science Fiction. I don't know the size of the print run, but it would have been pretty small and only a handful of copies have survived.

 

Some of the fans later went on to have long careers in comics and magazine publishing.

Testosterone City by Peter Bagge mini-comic. Great stuff.

 

[seank]

Zot 10 1/2 mini-comic. No Zot collection is complete without one!

Testosterone City by Peter Bagge mini-comic. Great stuff.

 

 

I love P. Bagge. It was a sad day when Hate! went color.

[seank]

Gary Panter's "The A s s hole." Second printing, alas.

 

 

 

Also, while pulling these books out, I found a Russ Cochran Weird Fantasy cover portfolio I thought I had sold long ago.

Dan's book has the same Superman/Superhombre logo as the ashcan from 1944.

 

Now THAT'S cool!

Has Ian (or anyone else) been able to dig anything up on this book? That's very intriguing.

[mica]

How does she control his Super speed, strength, eye beams, and flying with that joystick?
