Ye'all Gather roun' for Uncle Bounty's Campfire Stories now Yah Hea? 1 1

[bounty_coder]

Uncle Bounty is planning to light your fire with a sit-a-around each week.  I'm trying to spend more time with my collection; as many of you know I go real hot and cold on the boards just due to general work and life duties.  In order to put some pep in my step I am going to begin holding a weekly campfire series where I share a book from my collection and go into some detail around it with commentary.  Feel free to post comments and jump into the conversation I welcome it.  I will plan to kick this off this weekend.  

Looking forward to seeing you around.

Clickety Clack...Clickety Clack....zip zip...zip zip...Bounty's corn cob pipe lights and illuminates his face.

Whooooooosh, the campfire lights and all of the ghastly gouls gleaming faces gander at the russle in the bushes.

 It's Jayman!  Oak asks "Hey, is that a marsh-mellow stick in your trousers or are you just happy to see us?" 

Allright settle in yee-all; park those potatoes it's time for sinister stories of times now forgotten. 

 

We begin our first Bounty Bonfire story from the Book of Vampire Tales #1

Still working out the kinks of getting the stories cropped correctly.  As you can see there is some slight word cut-off here and there on the edges :-(  These tales are a wreck in purgatory...I mean a work in progress.

Started out with an excellent book.

Aww...my marshmallow burned to a. crisp reading that story Uncle Bounty!  Great start with one of my favorite artists Pablo Marcos! His normal comic book work was just ok, but he really excelled in the magazine format with the black and white ink wash style. Even the page layouts were more artistically done to balance the black and whites. Love page 16, I could see that one framed and hanging on my wall!

Agreed. It is amazing that the format had as successful of a run as it did allowing for us to see a much truer aspect to many of the great comic artists. I've even thought about simply framing pages from beater copy books before because they simply present so well. But it kind of makes me feel like I would be  being sadistic mad scientist chopping up a poor magazine in distress

 Another cool thing this story had in it was the footnote and the asterisk next to it referring to Morbius' origin.  Showing a time when writers and publishers cared about continuity! 

Do they even do that anymore in modern comics? 

Also NILRAC is almost Carolyn spelled backwards...

Great story. 
... and I don't smell nearly as campfire-smokey as I expected.
