jimjum12 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 When I get a minute at Christmas, would you mind if I post a couple of especially sharp Fabian pen and inks ? …. he did some exceptional covers for RBCC and CBG back In the day that I'm sure you remember. I found a hardcover anthology of his collected works for Judy and for some reason I thought of your thread …. some powerful Conan pieces from "Queen of the Black Coast, etc …If you don't already have a copy, you may wish to seek one out. It was published in 1993 so it's obtainable. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 This is the cover of the book I got for Judy, I think from Bender's Books... a local LCS, for maybe 20 bucks ? Several copies on eBay... highly recommended at it's current price. It IS almost all pen and ink work inside, cover price $ 24.95.

n2wdw Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Christmas Gift #1 I'm at the point in my life that I buy my own Christmas gifts. (The funny thing is, my wife picks her gifts too, but she usually wants me to still buy it for her, and wrap it -- I guess it's a girl thing.) Also, whether something is a "gift" to myself or just something we need for the house is a judgment call. Like, we got a cord of wood the other day because we needed it. Is that a gift to myself, because I'm the one who likes playing with our wood stove? Anyway, here's my first gift to myself for this Christmas. It's the Dewalt oscillating multi-tool. I've wanted one of these for a long time. And this is in Dewalt's (relatively) new Max Extreme Runtime (XR) series. I've been thinking about getting into this series for a few months now as my existing cordless tools are getting old (they're over 10 years old). I decided to get the set because there are great Christmas sales going on now, and I really wanted the depth control accessory, and the cool storage box. jimjum12, bounty_coder and Yosemite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2wdw Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Christmas Gift #2 My second gift was a big one, a new arcade machine. Some may say this was over the top. But this machine is part of how my family connects. Our old one broke (which was close to 10 years old). I thought about trying to fix it, but then I started to look around, and I found the technology had improved so much I was enticed to get something new. This one has a larger 26" screen, and it tilts up. So, for some games, you're facing each other (with the screen down, like with Super Mario Bros), and others you're next to each other (with the screen up, for the classics like Frogger and Dig Dug). And this machine has 1162 games! Including 49 of the top 50 arcade games of the 80s (the top 3 are Galaga, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong; for the full list, see https://www.ranker.com/list/best-80s-arcade-games/video-games-lists). szav, 707comics, bounty_coder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at this and think what comic could I buy equivalent to this? (I checked out the Top 50 list and recall losing many a quarter...)

Tri-Color Brian Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 OK, I got the scoop on the hardcover edition of Iger's Comics Kingdom. Steve Schanes says he only printed 40 HC copies. Good luck with your quest for one, and Happy Holidays to ya! 707comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the handy instrument. Really great for cutting in tight spaces (usually for correcting a mistake that should have been cut earlier...).

n2wdw Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Christmas Gift #3 The 3rd gift to myself is the 4K Harry Potter collection. Some may think this is lame. But Harry Potter is big in my family. Even though I already have the movies on multiple physical and digital formats, I wanted this 4K version to keep up with my hardware technology (that is, my 4K TVs, which I love ). My wife and I have all our kids home for Christmas, and our goal is to re-watch the entire series using this 4K version. As I type this, we're watching the 1st movie, Philosopher's Stone. My early reviews of this collection is the video quality is amazing -- truly 4K. I'm hoping they also improved the audio track. Some of the movies had problems with this. I'll report back after we've watched all the movies. CKinTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
