Question 8: So, I was watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi recently and it brought to mind a random trivia nugget I learned at a trivia night a few years ago. How many times is the word ‘Ewok’ used in the original trilogy? (Prize: Westworld Superemo Friend figure) (IP $10) Won by Littledoom.westworld.thumb.jpg.15c34f04d7865163c30b5defdbb6f7f9.jpg

Question 9: This knighted actor has graced many a nerds’ screen, appearing in an Alan Moore adapted film, the Harry Potter series, BBC’s Doctor Who and Merlin, and The Lord of the Rings. Which character did the above referenced actor play on Doctor Who? (Prize: Dragon Writers fantasy anthology book, signed by Jace Killan) (IP: $15) (Won by Crops068)1443392874_DragonWriters.thumb.jpg.16c8e349cbfcd91f5521e9c46619a815.jpg

Had a few good guesses at #9 but still awaiting an official winner (we had one unofficial winner, @comics4all, who may have rushed a bit and sent the wrong answer before immediately correcting himself and sending the right one at 4:49PM ET,  and even though he initially sent the incorrect answer, since he was the first to get the right answer and beat everyone else's time by over 3 hours and running, he will receive the IP $. -- if the winner is international, they can still claim the IP, too).

With the penultimate question still going, the tenth and final question (a scavenger hunt) will be coming at 8:30PM ET. A slab is up for grabs.

Question 10 – Scavenger hunt – Preferably these are all things you have around the house (this is an honor system type deal, please don’t abuse it.) You are allowed to scrub one image off the net for one and only one of the items, excluding #7. An item can be used for only 1 of the answers, so a Star Wars themed wall clock can go under #3 or #6, but not both. Please send me pics of: -- WON BY ADAMANTIUM

1: A comic with a character on the cover who is not usually associated with that book (i.e. Thor on an Iron Man cover but not Batman/Robin/Joker on Detective Comics.)

2: A nerd item involving a different species than human (i.e. mutants, aliens, a cat.)

3: A nerd item involving outer space.

4: Something you wear that is comic/nerd related (i.e. a shirt with Thanos, a wearable Hulk fist, a TMNT mask.)

5: A sci-fi or fantasy novel.

6: A nerd item that hangs on the wall.

7: Your favorite nerd item (yes, this is completely subjective and I will accept just about anything that can rationally be described as ‘nerdy’.)

Since this is the last question and it is a scavenger hunt, IF you would like, you are welcome to post the answers/pics in the thread instead of PMing me, earliest time still wins.

Feel free to get creative. If we do get a winner and you still want to post your items/show off your nerd collection, go for it! Just for fun, I will also be posting my scavenger hunt responses.

Prize: Before Watchmen: Comedian #1 signed by Brian Azzarello – CGC SS 9.0 (IP $40)

Thanks! Yeah, a fellow boardie hooked me up with that Superman issue, I love it. The watch was a gift from my GF, herself a big Who fan. And as for V, I was hooked the first time I read it, started picking up everything from Moore that I could get my hands on. The comic itself was a gift from a close friend. I am so very glad you had an enjoyable time. Thank you for playing along!

Well, that’s all folks! Thanks for playing or lurking along! I will leave this thread open a while longer; Question #3 still needs a winner.

I hope this thread taught you some random trivia you may not have known, maybe you learned of a movie/show/actor/comic to check out, or, at the very least, briefly distracted you from the real world. I know it mostly looks like I was talking to myself but I did get the chance to chat with a few folks over PM. Considering I rarely reach out to chat with folks here, it was nice to get the opportunity to speak with everyone who played along. I learned new things from your answers, right or wrong (including a few that sent me down some very interesting rabbit holes), so thank you for that!

On that last note, everyone, please wear masks in public, wash your hands really well, social distance, and most of all be safe and ‘DON’T PANIC’ (sorry, had to throw one last Douglas Adams reference in there.)

question 3 still open.

Thanks! It's the best thing I ever found on ebay back when I was 16 or 17. Guy said it had a name written in it. I asked if it was just in the margins or if it was scrawled all over the first page, he said just the margins and it says "Gil Kane".

At the time, I thouhgt "some kid probably wrote it". But I am pretty sure it's a legit signature and one I am joyed to have since he passed before I was heavy into collecting.
