  1. Thanks buddy :) I was planning to take it to another upcoming show here in the UK... A couple cool Star Wars guests will be at the show. Billy Dee Williams and his brother; and his stunt double and some other cool people, like Gary Kurtz, and some cool monsters :) I think it'll be at a point I'm happy with when they've signed it. I'd love to be able to get Harrison Ford or James Earl Jones but I doubt that'll ever happen :sorry:

  2. Not the best of pictures, just a quick snap of my comic room so far... I've done more since. It's not an entire room designated to my comics, but in my new/first home, I was able to split my studio room in half and have some stuff on display. Here is the start, haven't started to display any of my framed original art yet though.

    People here know that I mainly collect rare signature books, or just signatures from people that I admire. Most of these books are signed by those people, i.e. Jeff Bridges, Mike Ploog, Sylvester Stallone, Alan Moore, Hugh Jackman, John Wagner, Mignola, Matt Groening, Stan Lee, Kev Hopgood, John Carpenter, etc. I have so many more books that I wish I could display, but I have since this photo added more shelfs with more comics :)

     

     

     

    I did put a few art pieces up in my living room, Iron Man by Keron Grant, Hellboy by Duncan Fegredo and Bucky O'Hare by Michael Golden.

    It's really fun to finally be able to start to display my stuff, I've hated them being kept in boxes for such a long time.

    So I started this a while back now, but have since got many people on it. In order of people who signed it, it's signed by: Jeremy Bulloch (Bobba Fett), Kenny Baker (R2D2), Dave Prowse (Darth Vader), William Hoyland (Commander Igar) and the following were signed by Dan (Par2ch) at The Star Wars Celebration event; Tim Rose (Admiral Ackbar) + "It's a Trap" inscribed, Mark Hamil (Luke Skywalker) – who wrote Luke Skywalker under his name, which I've never actually seen him do before, Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia). Ian Mcdiarmid (Emperor Palpatine), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Anthony Daniels (C3PO), and Warwick Davis (Wicket)... and others since that show that I have been able to get have included; Toby Philpott (Jabba's Left Hand + Tongue), Christopher Malcolm (Zev) – who has since passed away, Alan Harris (Bossk), Paul Blake (Greedo) + "Hann Shot First OK!" inscribed, Michael Carter (Bib Fortuna), and most recently; Mike Edmonds (Jabba's Tail / Logray / Ugnaught), and lastly – Femi Taylor (Oola).

     

    I'm sure I will add more to it, but it's at a stage where I'm happy to admire it in it's frame :cloud9: IT's cost a lot of money, and I hate to think how much I've spent, but it's been fun, and I think it tells a pretty cool story, and I LOVE that I can comfortably relax knowing they're all genuine signatures.

  4. I've got recent autographs where Dave Prowse has wrote just Dave Prowse, and not IS DARTH VADER... and as for Kenny Baker, I do think peoples sigs can evolve... Just look at Charlie Adlards older signatures for example...

    His older ones look even different. This isn't the best example, I just can't find any in work lol

     

  5. I'm really happy with these two :) I was leaning towards not going for the Stallone but my friend Paul changed my mind last minute, we both have the highest CGC SS books at 9.6, there is one 9.4 I believe signed by Stallone too... but we both chose the same book. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

    I was considering not to crack this one too, but I got paranoid last minute and figured she may not turn up again and this book wouldn't be the same without her - Signorney Weaver.

    I've seen a few people doing Aliens cast books, but never an Alien cast.

     

     

    Give me a 9.6 all day :cloud9:

     

    Thanks goes to Doug for these.
