In French yes

Very good Jim. That's the French-Canadian in you coming out there I think :)

Now, still on the theme of war, here's a reprint from everyone's favourite UK reprinter, Lenny Miller and his Co.:

bg6.thumb.jpg.7e9dd44edf945305adbbc53b7150cfe9.jpg

There's a number six on the cover, and a number five on the spine. There's a number two in the loo, but that's not important right now (although they also often strike by night)

Now, who's going to be first to post a picture of the US original comic that it reprints?

Hurry up though, I ain't got all f:censored:ing night :taptaptap:

Ipve been IN French Canadians,but no French Canadian in me!Mlle Porcupine's family is from France...I do live a five minute walk from Quebec thoug.

Lovely greens on that,gimme a sec and I'll try to find what it reprints-Battleground #5 Marv-el!

:headbang:

Six is a reprint of five! Which is probably why the reprinted six has five on the spine. Probably!

Morning :)

I posted a picture of a graded Dell Giant in my Dell thread - best place for it I suppose - and commented on the use of the word 'frontispiece' which I had never heard of before:

frontispiece2.PNG.e6c98f665ff41aad752794e07d3b8aa7.PNG

Am I the only person who has never heard of the term in relation to comics? At all actually.

If you haven't heard of it, please post a confused graemlin conf.PNG.554f805c00a7ea2d75693115a1f81112.PNG (i.e. "Yes, I'm confused too by this strange, unfathomable word")

If you have, a sad one confused.PNG.7b25abeb5b21441bf24c701b886e3e3c.PNG (i.e. "Of course I've heard of it you sad individual")

Off you go.

I have heard of it before, but it's quite old-fashioned.

Polite alternate for codpiece?

It's getting lonely in here Ken. Only me and Adamantium have never heard of it. And he's only 12 so his vote doesn't count.

I've often used the term in relation to my work... at the British Library, and in my hobby... ripping decorative frontispieces out of valuable books & flogging them on e-bay:devil:

Also, I'd like to be the first to suggest a new bit of terminology for general use by all herein assembled:

frontispence: any cover price on a publication designated for sale in the United Kingdom, or any other country using pounds, pence or shillings as currency (ex: Lebanon, South Sudan).

note: Not to be confused with "fontispence", which just sounds like you're trying to speak Latin.

Actually I've been seeing this more often on Ebay these days where the damage to the cover is only around the value price, if someone was new to collecting I'm sure that they might take a chance as the contents are always U.S based, very sneaky.:devil:
