  1. its a perfect one and done Life & Times page. All 12 chapters represented in one shot.
  2. I can't take credit for the idea, I heard it mentioned on Mandel's podcast and I loved the concept.
  3. I dunno about sleeping giant but to me you have an old Schwarzenegger play an old Conan.
  4. Hmm, on second thought it does say on sale NOW, so I guess it would post-date Super Duper 3!
  5. Also, regarding the Mr Monster appearance - its a full story appearance, not just a cover FWIW. One of my favorite books from this era. Great subject matter with the dark superhero and all the Bell cast of characters, beautiful yellow cover, etc.
  6. A few questions/comments: 1. what book is that? 2. I wouldn't call that an appearance, as its an ad, but I understand both perspectives on ads. 3. Given that's an ad for Super Duper 3, wouldn't it pre-date Super Duper 3 and therefore not be the last appearance even if you do count ads?
  7. Dingle is awesome. He did do some interiors. He was also the art director for Bell features. Polka Dot Pirate. Likely the back half of 1945.
  8. That's it. thank you. Hard to tell with the limited colors!
  9. ah yes, thank you - the strafe explains the air coming out of the boat.... but what's up with his face? Looks like a golden mask/beak thing.
  10. its a waste of twenty bucks in this case, unfortunately.
  11. Now that I'm looking at my own book more closely, can anyone tell me what is going on in that cover? I don't know why the guy in the back of the inflatable boat has a strange face. Maybe its explained inside; I haven't read it yet.
  12. well, if we are all posting our most recent pickups, then this is mine.
  13. You are correct. The Illumicati meet on days like today - Tuesdays. Never Mondays.
  14. Is there a blondie reprint collection you'd recommend?
  15. interesting, I'll have to read the 30s blondies. I know it only to be pablum.
  16. a) Schulz was the better talent yes. b) Schulz's strips at the end weren't "tired" they were atrocious, and I say that despite ranking Peanuts as the #1 strip all time. c) Lasagna.
  17. And no I’m not saying it’s as good as peanuts was, but when I think of the comics strips in the 1980s, it’s absolutely in the top tier. It was one of the strips people looked forward to reading for a 8 second gag with their coffee. How will Garfield boot Odie in the butt this time? Will Jon ever get a date? Etc. That’s more than enough for it to be collectible. There’s a metric ton of strips but so what. I think it’s great there’s so many available. Take Garfield and give it Calvin and Hobbes levels of scarcity and these are six figure strips (for the early ones at least). Put that in your pipe and smoke it 🙃
