MrBedrock reacted to mwotka in Show me your Timely's and I'll show you mine. Have a Cigar...
I've always wanted a Destroyer Timely but the pricing has gotten so crazy on these. However in the last six months I've managed to score two! First off, I was fortunate to marry up a cover and interior on the 8 (hat tip to a couple boardies on that interior), and then I just scored the 9 at Windy City. Both have their problems but these covers are so cool I don't even care.
And on those 9.6 Timelys just posted, whew!! That is just insane. What an epic collection.

The Batman 1 purchased here on the boards from @Crowzilla arrived safe and sound and I am a very happy new owner. Thanks again, Sean!

Off Topic - but there's a funny animal on the cover!
DC published Mutt and Jeff for twenty years. This issue is all strip reprints which I think most of them were. hard to imagine this series lasted this long.

Funny Stuff #5 is almost entirely by Sheldon Mayer:
While I have a few others, most of my DC Funny Animal books have Sheldon Mayer stories... I think his stuff was hilarious. (As if my Avatar wasn't a giveaway on that...)

I appreciate that so many collectors share your antipathy. I wish more would.

MrBedrock got a reaction from AJD in R.I.P. Roger Hill
I had seen Roger a number of times in passing at shows, had heard stories about him, and had even sold him a couple of Wally Wood text illustrations through the mail, but had never been formally introduced to him. About eight or nine years ago I acquired a large Jack Davis pencil sketch on EC office art board. I took it to OAF Con to show it around and Roger was incredibly generous with his knowledge. We ended up clicking and chatted for the duration of the show. Towards the end of the show he came over and gave me a copy of the program book for an EC art show he had curated in Oregon. The program book was done in fanzine style as an EC Fan Addict pamphlet and the artwork presented inside was ridiculous. Nearly every cool EC piece was represented in some form or other. And Roger had pulled all of this stuff together from a number of prominent collectors. As I went through the catalog I came upon the cover for Haunt of Fear 18. I asked Roger if he could tell me who owned that piece as it was a grail of mine. He sheepishly said that it belonged to him. I mentioned to him that if he were ever to think of parting with it to please think of me, but I never thought that particular comment would lead anywhere. We continued to email and call and stay in touch talking about the hobby. One day he called and asked if I was interested in the cover. YES! Absolutely! He shot me a price and I gulped and said YES! Absolutely! He and another friend drove down from Kansas and spent a day at the shop delivering the cover. Roger was always such a joy to be around and chat with and nerd out about the coolest stuff in the whole hobby. He had seen it all.
