going through four boxes of old comics retreived from my parents as they moved out of the old house... mostly worthless, but boy was jack kirby weird in the 70's

most of these I just have to find some place to ditch, but I got to find some place to sell the x-men 123-154 & daredevils 150-190

xpost - hahahhahahhalol

in the future, men will hurl women encased in concrete blocks! are you ready?

i remember when the time came to sell my comics collection only to find out that they're worth no more than used toilet paper unless they are encased in a plastic bags with mylar having never been read once. it also helps if you don't own shit like ROM Spaceknight

― DUMBOCLAAT (eman), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 04:00 (nineteen years ago)

lot's of tom strong, y, blab back issues, various oreillys as usual... jack cole bio...

― msp (mspa), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 04:14 (nineteen years ago)

milton do you have any dr. strange from the seventies?

― disappointing goth fest line-up (orion), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 04:27 (nineteen years ago)

I had forgotten that the Dire Wraiths fought by ROM, Spaceknight, were actually an offshoot of the Skrull race. Whew.

just finished reading a bunch of frustratingly conservative anti- "smart growth" commentary (basically anti-bureaucratic pro-market ayn rand bullshit, blah blah urban growth boundaries are containment and exclusionary and are driving up land prices in cities and anyway ppl's REAL preference is the suburbs and stop trying to inhibit the noble autonomy that our nation's values are based on, blah blah blah)

― beverly sills ninja (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 05:36 (nineteen years ago)

i mean these articles go on and on about the "euphemisms" of the smart-growth movement and then continue to flog the good old reliable reason mad lib jargon that feeds into america's psychotic fear of any sort of governance whatsoever.

― beverly sills ninja (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 05:41 (nineteen years ago)

milton do you have any dr. strange from the seventies?

no, I never even read those, don't know why -- Gene Colan's art was always incredible, I have the Howard The Ducks and the Draculas (bad stories but unbelievable artwork) but not the Stranges, were they good?

they were all in mylar bags, but they weren't taped up. so they're all yellowed and not worth much money. I think I'm keeping the Kirbys and everything else I kind of need to give away.

― milton parker (Jon L), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 07:18 (nineteen years ago)

Tomb of Dracula DID have killer art. Some of those Dr. Strange's were pretty cool--lots of psychedelic hippy nonsense.

PKD like "joint?"
for more eccentric-uncle type family drama: "confessions of a crap artist"
no sf, but it's right in line with his other visionary-type works

i'm trying to read Chris Elliot's "The Shroud of the Thwacker" but it's so tedious and not funny, i don't want to finish it. i feel really bad because one of my super close friends told me it was the funniest thing he's ever read. maybe i'm not getting the references to all the books he's making fun of, or maybe it's just plain stupid. or maybe i'm just plain stupid? i dunno.
