2/24/2017 Topic: Who's Your Favorite Cover Artist? Robbie	This Wally Wood cover is near the top of my favorites list. It was the first EC I bought.

3/5/2017 Topic: S. Clingerman's Sometimes Interesting Stuff Robbie	sclingerman wrote: Two movie adaptation comics. In 1979 Disney decided to jump on the Sci-Fi film craze that Star Wars had given rise to. In December 1979 they released "The Black Hole"... Disney's first PG rated film. Whitman Comics adapted the film into 2 comics the next year, and also published 2 more that continued the adventure after the movie. "" "" edited by sclingerman on 2/28/2017 Black Hole #1-3 adapt the movie. #4 is a Whitman prepack only issue and has a sweet painted dino cover - I'm still missing that one.

3/12/2017 Topic: Wonder Woman trailer Robbie	Sure hope its as good as it looks. I think moving her origin back to WWI is a good call.
3/20/2017 Topic: S. Clingerman's Sometimes Interesting Stuff Robbie	I suspect A-Team had a fairly small print run.
3/20/2017 Topic: r.i.p Bernie Wrightson Robbie	Wrightson was a master. I saw him at a con once. He & Len signed my neato House of Secrets comic.

3/22/2017 Topic: Trying to decide to have comic autographed or not Robbie	Didn't know about CBCS. Very cool
3/24/2017 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Robbie	I remember most of those Adams pieces. The 2007 book is sporting a wicked Tarzan cover.
4/25/2017 Topic: Found tons of comics Robbie	Plastic tubs didn't exist in the early 80s... At some point an owner must have bought the tubs (big sale at Walmart or where ever) and moved them from the cardboard boxes... Neat discovery.
4/25/2017 Topic: Where Have All the Users Gone Robbie	Gilgandra wrote: G'day Finley. (at least you have a cool avatar) most members here don't have one...So sad! The regulars do of course. Yeah! I know i missed it too. I know as much you guys do. CPG 3.0 that's a catchy name for it Lol. Jesse said he contacted them not to long ago & the CPG gods are hard at work getting it done. Hopefully not to long ...3,4--6 months edited by Gilgandra on 4/24/2017 I have an avatar Lately the forum doesn't crash when I try to post. "Unread topics" is usually a list of new issues for the guide, mostly variant covers. I don't reply to those. It's easy to get out of the habit of posting on a personal vanity thread. Hard to find and maintain the motivation to restart. An active forum would need a bunch of those; and new threads for each new comic/sci-fi/related movie, TV series, etc... The CPG Gods are false gods.
4/25/2017 Topic: What book U bought at cover price that sky rocket Robbie	With my 35% off discount, got 3 extra copies of TMNT#2 (1st) and traded them for a VF X-Men#94
4/25/2017 Topic: What book U bought at cover price that sky rocket Robbie	sclingerman wrote: "What If... Venom Possessed Deadpool?". That went up within 4 years of me buying it. I missed out, had dropped What if... by then.
4/27/2017 Topic: Gilgandra Back Issues 2.0 Robbie	Gilgandra wrote: Some nice books i just picked up, Enjoy! War is Hell #1, VF. January 1973. Reprints "BATTLE" #55 (1957) Cover by Herb Trimpe. Blitzkrieg #1, -F. Dead of Night #1, F+. December 1973. Reprints "Adventures into Weird Worlds #6" (1952). Nice copy, I'd like to find all of these one day. Cover by John Romita Sr. Supernatural Thrillers #2, -VF. February 1973. Sweet copy of a book that I've been after for some time now, It paid to wait. I'll do a side by side comparison of them with the reprinted mags Masters of Terror later Cover by Jim Steranko. I've had all those issues for a long time. Blitzkrieg cost some money. Kubert Nazi comics are fun reading. Love those 70s Marvel horror reprints. The originals are elusive and not cheap. A good way to figure out if you like that type of story without spending $100s per book.
4/28/2017 Topic: Gilgandra Back Issues 2.0 Robbie	Gilgandra wrote: Finally after many years of collecting i have each of them, Enjoy! Masters of Terror #2 is the re-print of Supernatural Thrillers #2 Masters of Terror #1 is the re-print of Supernatural Thrillers #1 huh. that's really cool, I don't have those mags, hadn't noticed the connection.

5/2/2017 Topic: EC Comics Discussion Robbie	Howdy, I have small pile of EC, sci-fi more than horror.
5/2/2017 Topic: Princess Leia's Stolen Death Star Plans Robbie	Brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL8s6sSjUyaxUk3mCUqiNuJiMNxs9QdthO&v=NYD3QtyEGGM Retelling A New Hope as parodies of all the songs on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Seems unlikely that Disney will allow such extensive use of their video...
