On inspection, there was a magazine (neatly housed in a mylar with a fullback) taped between them. here it is - a freebie I hadn't noticed! By this stage of Mad most of the 'comic book EC' guys had moved on, thought there is a Joe Orlando piece in there. What I really liked was this unusually cerebral 3-pager. I'd love to be at a baseball game where the fans were bagging out the umpire with the Bard! This is just wonderful. By my count, writer Garvin has pulled quotes from more than 20 of the Baird's plays (plus Sonnets!!) to create the dialogue. When this was created, there were no databases to pull up nor on line quotes to pluck. Barring an esoteric reference book (which I suspect may exist) that some scholar had created that allows the reader to examine Shakespearean quotes as they refer to various categories (a bit like a Thesaurus) Garvin displays a very impressive breadth and depth of his subject. And talk about obscure offerings. Has anybody seen, let alone studied "Timon of Athens" or "Titus Andronicus"? What a great freebie.

I think Duffbloke might have been angling for an undeserved freebie. Fear not, I usually send him something at this time of year, so I'll send him a deserved freebie. <summons dog, looks for paper bag and matches> 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Danged if I'm not getting a taste for L. B. Cole. There is nothing a comic needs beyond animal print bikinis, bondage and mayhem generated by an irate pachyderm. Except, of course, for more animal print bikinis, bondage and mayhem generated by an irate pachyderm. 1950's war comics and Get Marwood & I 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the "white elephant" running amok? 'Cause it looks remarkably grey to me, I have to say I'm disappointed. I was expecting more of a Moby Richard look. However, I do have to congratulate the denizens of the jungle for their excellent hair-styling! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, of course, for more animal print bikinis, bondage and mayhem generated by an irate pachyderm. Also to be noted is the introduction of not one but two cobras, a rather cliched witchdoctor or two (I assume) and what is going on with Jo-Jo's bondage? Seems to have a huge range of movement with his arms - surely enough to extricate himself. As has been noted by others, AJD, very nice, strong colours on this cover. Oh, and I learned a new word today - "soughed". 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Here's the final one from my most recent package. Planets are getting expensive these days, but if you're prepared to live with a little glue on the staples you can do OK. And there's an UTC treat today. Here are two (count 'em) interior pages. The first has some little known (and perhaps a touch surprising) facts about life on Mercury: The second has some very cool GGA/bondage artwork. And this is just too good not to include as well. A smokin' Sheena on the back cover. Harry Lime and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) I think if there was a GA book I'd collect it would be one of the sci-fi ones. That's the first time I've seen a UTC of a Planet, quite a sexual undertone going on there. I really like the covers of Weird Science/Fantasy that I think you posted earlier...or it may have been in Ed's thread. Either way they look great too.

At one point I had about 50% of the Planet run, and this was one that really stood out for its interior art.

AJD Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I just posted some images of a new Crimson Comet reprint in the 'GA in Australia' thread in Gold. But I like this one so much I thought I'd include it here too. 1950's war comics and FoggyNelson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
