selegue Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I got a nice Batch of classic coves today! I'll post a couple here, and a couple in precode. maybe more later on.... OK, so what is the deal with this book? Which came first, this or the stress squeezie toy they look just like? You mean whatever the Robotman on the left is carrying? Looks like a squeezie toy to me. A firm squeeze would definitely relieve my stress. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 ...Got a cool St John Baker Romance from Doug. Those collecting these know how competitive that market is so I was thrilled to get a nicely priced beater and an annoyingly eluding Atlas Teen book: Georgie Comics. I'll be happy to show my 6 books from Metro once they get here ... Yoiks! Jughead stole Archie's clothes and put a big ol' orange sponge on his head for the prom? No wonder water drops are flying off his head.

Scrooge Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 And this is one of may favorite GA DC covers, and the reason is, It's a secret short bus book! What on EARTH is happening with the eyes of that bug? It makes absolutely NO sense! They look like rose hips sticking out. Regardless, it's a knockout image. I just wish they explained thosse eyes on the inside! You mean aside from the Cruelty to Animals sequence - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiverbones Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ahhh...those puppies had it coming! I don't think robotmen is impossible to find, but they don't grow on trees. Months will pass before one comes up on ebay and dealers are usually out. The insides are nice, somewhat typical Avon, but nice avon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they explained thosse eyes on the inside! WOW! I've heard so much about this book! Didn't Roy Thomas write a 12-issue miniseries in the 80s to explain those eyes? The bug's mouth kinda reminds me of some of your characters' mouths! Congrats on scoring a grail. I suppose we COULD save it a seat on the Short Bus.

About those puppies, what I find quite is why the King Bee unleashes dogs while he commands human flies, termite men, borer men, water bugs, spider men, ant men and my favorite, grasshopper men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bet you didn't think I had a favorite of those, did you?) Congrats! Hey Rich, When was the last time you saw an unrestored 22 for sell? How about a mid to high grade copy? I haven't seen a copy in a LONG time. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
