selegue Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (Bitumen of Judea -- I had to look it up -- is a powdery tar that can be made into a varnish that crosslinks and hardens on exposure to sunlight.) Jack Hey Captain Science, what happens when you mix Hydriodic Acid with Bitumen of Judea then? Hard Meth? - You get "HI, Judea!" Where's the page from? How could you mix up hydroiodic acid (clear, colorless) with milk? What was the perp doing with hydroiodic acid (in an open, unlabeled container) anyway? Is this the kind of book where they toss it in his face (oooggg)? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 1) Where's the page from? 2) How could you mix up hydroiodic acid (clear, colorless) with milk? 3) What was the perp doing with hydroiodic acid (in an open, unlabeled container) anyway? 4) Is this the kind of book where they toss it in his face (oooggg)? Jack 1) Scalped 13 as per scan name 2) Comic book science or a dirty batch 3) The story covers a Meth lab bust and I hear they're not good at labeling stuff 4) The acid is directed towards a more southernly region of the perp's body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack 1) Scalped 13 as per scan name http://boards.collectors-society.com/attachments/62501.jpg How could I miss the connection?!? 2) Comic book science or a dirty batch Either one would work. 3) The story covers a Meth lab bust and I hear they're not good at labeling stuff "Most methods of illicit production involve hydrogenation of the hydroxyl group on the ephedrine or pseudoephedrine molecule. The most common method for small-scale methamphetamine labs in the United States is primarily called the "Red, White, and Blue Process", which involves red phosphorus, pseudoephedrine or ephedrine(white), and blue iodine (which is technically a purple color in elemental form), from which hydroiodic acid is formed." Yikes! Nothing I'd want to do in a garage or kitchen. 4) The acid is directed towards a more southernly region of the perp's body Oooooggg**2 Thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Fashion PB and J Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Im still new with the GA, but more fun in my opinion then silver/bronze/copper/ or modern. Just something great about these books. You are off to a great start The Flash were my first purchase, from you ! I was very pleased when I received the books and would hands down buy from you again ! But yea so much excitement for me collecting GA. And I generally buy such low grade, its hard to be dissappointed Nice start to your collection of GA. I'm trying to get started myself and the low to mid-grade is the place to be! (thumbs u Yea, I like the 1.5 and up . (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardo Numspar Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 MP 7.0-7.5? Roy, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Matt had it graded as a Moderate 7.5 and I agree. The resto is moderate not extensive and it grades as a 7.5 due to some back cover wear and some barely visible resto when in hand IMO.
