Recommend a trade? I predicted they would become the next planet comics. There are trades but they are black and white if I remember correctly (see below). You can also read them online (I think-readcomiconline hasnt been working lately-might be some other sites) or get the 25c BIG 52 pages reprints.

Buzzetta Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I am highly amused by these Strange Adventures books. The stories are like mini Twilight Zone / B Movie nonsense covers. I enjoy them. KCOComics and kav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Henry's works basically all contain a surprise ending. They lead you on it the beginning with a thought that everything is going according to plan. He lets the reader think that they have it figured out by we don't. He has something waiting for us at the end of the story. For example in Gift of the Magi a broke young couple buy christmas gifts-the woman sells her hair to buy a silver chain for her husband's pocket watch. It turns out he sold his watch to buy her a set of combs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not plan on buying more than a handful... I am ... going after something. It is not a grail but it is a white whale. I knocked one of my white whales off my list last year with the Tec 87 purchase. I want another one that keeps evading me. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
