sacentaur Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Judging by the size of that pulp stack, I'd say BZ is "well hung" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Back in the mid 1960's I bought multiple copies of many comics and then boxed them up and put them away. I was thinking about them today and wondered where they had ended up. So, this evening I began digging through a few boxes and turned up some surprises. Sitting on top of one box was Jumbo # 7 (poor condition) and the front cover to Jumbo # 4. I had forgotten I owned them. Also in the box are dozens of fanzines dating back to the days of EC fandom in the late 50's and bundles of old correspondence (including letters from Carl Barks, Robert Crumb, and other cartoonists). It was like discovering my own personal time capsule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze-man Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Nice story BZ, and let me be the first to say how fun it would be to dig around your basement and find some stuff in boxes that even you forgot about until today. That's what collecting is all about to me. Thinking of something, then being able to go pull something out of a stashed away box that brings you right back to a specific time in your past.

Thinking of something, then being able to go pull something out of a stashed away box that brings you right back to a specific time in your past. It certainly does that. I was just now reading a 1974 letter from an old penpal of mine. He was talking about Sci-Fi and comic apas, college, fanzines, studying for the CPA exam, films, etc. It brought back a rush of memories. I felt like I could sit down and write him a letter and that the last 33 years hadn't passed. It was kind of shocking because it was quite impossible. He died in 1975.

BangZoom Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 This ad ran in DC comics for a couple of months back in late 1938 and early 1939. Has anyone ever seen a copy of this course? I know it was written so I assume it was published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was written so I assume it was published. Believe it or not, I could swear I saw this coursebook on ebay fairly recently. It caught my eye, because I'd certainly never seen it before. It was dated 1938, and looked to be a bunch of typed pages, or copies of typed pages. Just checked the completed auctions, but nothing. Anyone else see this?

Anyone else see this? That listing was for the Library of Congress copyright deposit of it. The seller put it up for sale several times without attracting any bids so I contacted him and negotiated a price I was willing to pay. The course was written and it was advertised for sale so I would assume copies were sold. Presumably not many, but some. I was wondering if any have ever surfaced.
