The Black Hand ® Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I just blew most of my Clink, HA, and Wondercon money on this one. This is a book I have wanted for awhile and was too good a deal to pass up cheese and rice!!!!!!!! man, what a book. way to go Ronaldo. That book has it all! First, it's a Hangman...second, it has a classic Harry Lucey cover...third...it's a SanFrancisco copy and fourth, it has great stories with off-white pages. Extraordinary! Forget the heroes, it's all about the girl in the tube Women in tubes......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the heroes, it's all about the girl in the tube Women in tubes......... Been thinking about getting my wife a big glass tube for the living room. Thought she could lay inside of it(perhaps upside-down) with an alarmed look on her face while I watch TV. I guess I'm just a romantic guy.

seank Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 that zoot is a hoot You should see the interior on that one! It's amazing what you can do with a rope, a stake and a bamboo shoot. Oh, and a girl. Scans! We demand scans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to agree with you boys on the "women in tubes" thing. Maybe I'll get a nice one for the girlfriend for Valentines Day. Sorry boys...gonna break protocol and show this one again.

buttock Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ronaldo, you HAVE to crack that one out. It's one of the classic GA splash pages. To see it on a pedigreed book would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 the boys at ponscon know how stoked I was to get this book! and how well we knew he was stoked; we were getting a clock elapsing play-by-play that put apollo missions' ground control to shame. all while i was trying to concentrate on poker. i think we were happier that he won that he was because he finally shut up. but it is a beauty, isn't it? I can't wait to see it Rick. What a great book! And very few are unrestored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 OK, as promised, here is the rest of the books I got from my friend....I realized that the 2nd row of Startlings are on Ebay, so I'd better post these while I still have them. The Super Magicians really surprised me, some very good stories...(If I ever get the time to finish reading them;) A few are horrid plus, but there are actually a few that are better than VG Just all wonderful! So, thank you again, Richard For helping me find these incredible books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks, Jon:) I usually put a few of the books I buy in lots, on Ebay to help defray a drop of the costs...but I just spent about 6 hours in the past two days on the phone with them. I had not ONE but 2, 0 feedback bidders, on two expensive auctions,one day apart, who then proceded to announce for very strange reasons, that they were not going to pay. Both had false contact information...it's really weird like crazies are coming out of the woodwork...since they heard about the changes... I just got a phone call telling me the 2nd person was tossed off as well;) but I'm going to participate in the selling boycott on Ebay and buying on Ebay until after the 24th... therefore, I'll have time to read I know not too many people here sell or buy on Ebay, but if they do, I hope they will consider joining the boycott from the 18th to the 24th...
