I will be posting more in "The Official Underground Comix thread." Where is that? Why, it's in the Comic Magazines section, even though 90% of underground comics are not magazine size. Why are underground comics in the Magazine thread? Ask CGC. Apparently they hate underground comics and hide then where they are least likely to be found. I would love to have someone from CGC explain the reasoning. Black_Adam and Readcomix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmilwaukee6er Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I sold a decent Funnybook #1 on feeBay recently. Found the book at my local, 1/2 off $10! So... @icefires... What's the deal with the new edition? A Peach Momoko cover? I looked it up on feeBay and there was only the one copy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmilwaukee6er Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I like underground comix. 50c probably put the thread in Magazines because most underground comix collectors were posting at Comics Price Guide forums or at the Head Comix wiki. A lot of u-comix collectors run anti-slabbing and so would not follow over to these boards. There's another good thread in Bronze too. Howard G was not a pervert. He was a family man and collected aboveground comics too. Eggs Ackley was a fictional Crumb character in Big Ash Comics that made it with demon vultures. He makes pornhub look tame.

Thank you. My reference to Eggs certainly meant Howard. I had over 1.000 PM's with him over the years. He was a great friend and mentor for me regarding underground comics.

comicwiz Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) On 7/16/2020 at 5:34 PM, lizards2 said: Exactly. First off, it's disrespectful to speak ill of the deceased. Sell a slab or two (the more expensive ones) to go buy some manners. You seemed to have skimped on it the first time around. I had the pleasure of meeting Howard on more than one occasion. He first flew down with his family from Florida to Canada (Ontario, where I live) to visit the campus his daughter was planning to attend. He was also very involved with having things sent over for her while she was studying, he was a very attentive Father to his children. He made it a point to reach me before his visit because he wanted to meet me, and he introduced me to his family at a bar in Toronto I had recommended, and they were all extremely nice people. He would visit a second time years later to purchase several books from my collection. He stayed over my place during that trip and you could see he had a strong connection to family. I feel as though I could have been a better friend to him when I found out he was ill, but I had a lot going on at the time with my personal life. I'm not saying this to excuse myself, or posting this as a manner of reconciling my regrettable feelings, but because people who think the way you do are saying what you are out of blind ignorance. Howard was very well known by the CGC people. While I stopped submitting about 12 years ago, I know he was doing a lot to help undergrounds gain the recognition many of us who collect them feel they deserve.

Wow. Just wow. The second line demonstrates your ignorance, in assuming you know how "people like me" think. Begone Satan.
