No doubt I would've snapped it up if I had. And good call on the lettering on that early version of "Crazy": it does remind me of "Esquire!" I think there were four issues in all of Fooey. Here's issue number 3: Thanks Pop! I figured there were probably a few more but have never seen them. I don't go out of my way anymore but grab them when I see them. A boardie who says he is a lurker here bought a few from me yesterday. He said there is a book on them and showed me but I was so tired I couldn't remember. Maybe he will make an appearance and share it with us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Flea market score this morning. Un-built in the original box from 1966. Was very happy until the guy pulled out a stack of this kids Marvels and handed them to my buddy... Hey, you win some and you lose some. At least they went to a good friend instead of one of the slimey flippers that prowl this show! STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobbledclam Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Mr Steve Ditko, At least 54 years an obsession for me. Thank gosh for what seemed like "older" relatives at the time. Teen-age cousins who had stacks of those funny books sitting around for us youngin's to read and chill out to while the older folks got their load on during Friday night family get-togethers. Some of the best and weirdest aliens and feeble looking old people ever! ?? woowoo and STORMSHADOW_80 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Theres a party going on! Small but packed with books and collectors. Hit 3 dealers and spent a good amount of cash already! Badger, Sqeggs, jimjum12 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think how rare this little mail away membership pin is? Stumbled on to it by chance at a flea market. A guy had the EC metal pin and this. I think I was more excited by this. Never seen another one. Didn't IBM have a house publication titled "THINK"? It was Tom Watson, Sr.'s slogan and I think a sign with that word hung in everyone's office. I assume the title of this mag was a takeoff on that. Very cool pin! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 OK... Had a nice 20 minute straight through drive to the Hilton. Walked in, said my name and walked in to the comic section. Not real big but if you are a box diver a full day of digging and hit every dealer with maybe a half hour left over. Did a lot of visiting and buying!

Popular Post Robot Man Posted July 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2018 First stop was Ritchie from Bedrock. One of the best dealers in the biz. He knows what I like and had a box ready for me. I checked the wall, pulled down a cool book and hit his boxes. Got a ton of ECs and a bunch of other cool stuff. We talked some World Series from last year, I peeled off a bunch of Benjamin’s and on my way I went. sagii, alexgross.com, 1950's war comics and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Next one I saw was Brad Sloan F-VF. Annother great dealer. Dug a few books out of his boxes including one of those deal of the day type buys! Great prices and a standup guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 I bumped into David Arnold with a killer Catman 32. Would have bought it but he was quicker. If you want it, it should be on EBay very soon. HENRYSPENCER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted July 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2018 Ran into Dale. Plesent surprise since he wasn’t listed on the dealer list. Got a cool Baker book and a nice Schoenberg Nedor I needed. Plus a couple more ECs and a few other books. I love handing my money to guys like him!
