ThreeSeas Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Bangzoom, I hope you are doing better as each day goes by. This thread of yours led me into these forums and added gasoline to my comic collecting spark. Seeing what is posted on this thread and other threads here is like an adventure of sorts for me. I love seeing the pictures of GA comics and also like the stories of how they were acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunky Brian Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I don't. What is amazing about this collection is how well they look just sitting in stacks in those funky cleaners bags. We all know they are exceptional basically original owner copies. You just don't see that anymore. Well said. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000000000000000000000000000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolnerowich Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Pardon my ignorance: how does this thread differ from the "Have a Cigar! Golden Age only....!" thread? It looks like there's a lot of overlap... Is the Cigar thread more for new purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutant Manatee Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Pardon my ignorance: how does this thread differ from the "Have a Cigar! Golden Age only....!" thread? It looks like there's a lot of overlap... Is the Cigar thread more for new purchases? This thread is only BangZoom's collection. "Have A Cigar" is for everyone to show off their latest golden age acquisitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokamak Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sorry for chiming in on such an old post, but I am struggling to find the advertisement for "Cosmic Stories" that Jerry supposedly ran in "Science Wonders Stories." I have read numerous books and articles stating that Jerry advertised the fanzine in "Science Wonder Stories" sometime in 1929. While digging through the back issues, I have located some Bernard letters with different addresses, but no advertisement for "Cosmic Stories". Has anyone else seen this ad?

tokamak Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Am I too late? The ad ran in Amazing Stories v07n06 (September 1932). Jerry probably showed this to the Torch editor the moment it arrived! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40sJohn Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Since the move to this new formatted board, I cannot see the images on the first pages of the thread. Anyone else having this problem? Any idea how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Arch said they had more than nine million posts to convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny545 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It would be a travesty if we lose access to all the early photos of the collection. Hope they are converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Every time I see this thread go live I get excited. Then I'm bummed because it isn't Bang Zoom posting. Hope you are doing well Bang. Come back on once in a while. You are the reason I signed up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
