Silver Surfer Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Enjoying some GA on the rooftop area of our hotel in Singapore When my wife and I were traveling by Amtrak last summer all through the Rockies it seemed like every camper and kayaker had CRACK to show off as the train passed. Seriously, nice photo, Pons! (thumbs u Vacation? Business? Do you OWN the hotel? Tell us more about the trip. Business for me, vacation for my wife Here is a better photo of the hotel. Amazing place And check out the crazy rooftop pool. Not for the faint of heart And finally, a shot of downtown Singapore at night Wow what an awesome place. That hotel is stunning.

Allen James Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love these oversized GA books. I bought this copy a few years ago: And also thanks to Sparkle City I now have this Gerber 9: Nice stuff Mark!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Calhoun Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The Jumbos are BIG pieces of comics history. Interesting seeing them just after SN's oversize Masters. Sheena is one of the top ten great comics characters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love how your packing list for an around-the-world business trip includes "Golden Age Comics" What can I say, I'm a comic geek through and through. Not Mehdy-esque by any means (I mean who is?), but a geek nonetheless. Since this around the world journey was/is going to be a month in duration, the thought of being away from GA that long made me very nervous. So, in the briefcase they went Not the first time I've brought some GA along for a overseas excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 That is an awesome city skyline, for sure. And that is just the City Centre area. The skyscraper count here is nearly incalcuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 That is an awesome city skyline, for sure. And that is just the City Centre area. The skyscraper count here is nearly incalcuable Singapore is awesome, but try Shanghai some time if you want a serious skyscraper count. They add a new one every couple of weeks!

Earthshaker01 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So a couple more 3-D comics I had picked up in that guys mini collection of 3-D comics were these two Thre Stooges comics. Yuo probably know that after the #1 from 1953 they went 3-D from #2 on. The #2 is in average grade but the #3 is in NM, both have their 3-D glassess attached. This has been a tough run for me to get in the Three Stooges title. I am posting both #1 and #2 from the (1949) series that took me a while to find in nice shape and #1, 2 and 3 from the (1953) series. I think a movie will be out soon about these guys. #1(1949) #2(1949) #1(1953) #2(1953) #3(1953) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
