A Mummy stirred ... a gun flashed and blasted the fiend into eternity. I could be wrong, but that's my take. :)

Yes, but, but... okay, smart guy, what's up with the roentgen radiation girl in a trance, and the swami behind her? :popcorn:

Post #1,500. Seems like a good occasion for this hard-to-find book, cross-posted from the Have a Cigar thread. It was kind of a follow-the-bouncing-ball thing from SDCC to n2wdw to Terry's Comics to Nikelspot to yours truly. I'm on :cloud9: with this book, warts and all!

On the plus side, maybe that's the key to no Newton rings. It just takes a slab the size of a bathtub.  :D

Yeah, it's kind of odd it's in such a large holder. I think maybe because of the spine roll? But it's also definitely an old-school oversize holder, not at all like the newest "Newton" holders.

I would do, and should do, but worry that it might melt into a tattered mess of "0.5" pulp paper as soon as I disentombed the poor fella...

Haven't bought an early Fox in ages. Finally picked up this one... CFO copy but the price was right. Looking forward to the read; never owned an issue of V Comics before. (Hard to even do an online search for a title that's one letter long!)

I don't know what kind of person would pay so much for a really nice looking copy of a book that seems to virtually never come up to market (shrug)B|

I have become much more comfortable with restored books when it comes to the books that are just never available. Having a great looking 8.0 Larson Science 2 with some ct and a Mystery Men 10 7.5 with some work done I am perfectly happy. If Berk can enjoy those kinds of books I think I can. I had a pretty nice copy of this book before that I parted company with for 20k so getting this one for $4500 felt kinda cheap.

The takebot strikes again! I agree on some of the restored books, my view has changed over time as well. That MM 10 really looks gorgeous doesnt it?

Oh, I am more like the son of takebot for sure. I really love that Book. MM 10 and Science 2 are the two Fox books I really have almost an emotional response to.

Since my Science 2 is slabbed, I have no idea what’s on the pages within. If you happen to know, is there any payoff in terms of story and/or art inside?

The cover sells that book the stories are secondary :smile:

Jack is correct, in the sense that the cover has tremendous appeal.

But I love the stories, for their wacky GA formula where there was no formula.

Here is a way to read the stories without having to unslab your copy:  http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=36583

How can you go wrong with pages like this? -->
