BB-Gun Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 We're expecting everyone to arrive early so we'll have plenty of time for the show and tell portion of the program. And Happy Thanksgiving to you and the rest of the GA gang from BB, Mrs. BB, the kids and my strange pets. And peace! bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 We're expecting everyone to arrive early so we'll have plenty of time for the show and tell portion of the program. I'm looking forward to those grocery sized goodie bags loaded with mint GA comics! Steve, I'm putting these two comics in your bag. Those 2 will do (thnx) - and I promise not to spike the eggnog like last year (sorry 'bout dat). at least you were man enough to clean up the mess...mrs BZ appreciated that, i am sure!

BangZoom Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 This story was brought to my attention by Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine where it was awarded a Thanksgiving Turkey Award in 2006. I'm not certain if Pappy is being serious when he says it "exemplifies comic book stupidity at its worst." I think its great. Screwball comics at their best.

BB-Gun Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 BZ. I was reading some of the new scans form Goldenagecomics.co.uk and enjoyed the Barker story in National 43, which was the first issue with Spudo. Jack Cole signed the splash which is pretty good. What was his role in creating the character? bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Awesome pulps as usual BZ. What's your take on Secret Agent X? I have this in my sights (sp?) for Xmas. What says you, how good / entertaining are the Secret Agent X stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selegue Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Councilman Ed J. Davenport displaying nude comic books in Los Angeles, Calif., 1948. Another show-off! Were these really all comic books as we think of them today? Maybe we need a new sub-forum. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
