and the rest of the score:

Cover is split and detached on the Roth mag, and all the covers are worn. The pages for all are nice, still white.
I am a happy camper!

Cool! Lots of good reading there!

A few weeks ago I got it into my head that I wanted to old "MAD Follies" issues with the stencils and mobile. After one false start the collecting gods smiled down on me, and I just bought them both, near mint, all extras attached, from the same seller for 4 bucks each! Now...do I punch out the stencils and start terrorizing the town?

No. Don't punch out the stencils. I'm sure you can terrorize the town adequately enough without them.

I wouldn't.

My "Keep it in mint!!" ID is screaming "NO!"

. Can you make replicas or find an already used set? I have the same problem with monster kits. I still buy the new kits but I display them instead of opening them. I still build but I buy already put together kits to restore for that.

Yea, I think I'll follow your advice - see if I can find another set. The usual problem is if the stencils are used, than they have been detached, sprayed and either misplaced or discarded. Making stencils from the mint ones may not be that much trouble, if I can get decent scans from them.
Hepcat - LOL!

Oh, and getting back on topic - do any of you have copies of "1984" (or 1994) from Warren? My dad collected comics and he had a few copies. I was very suprised at the graphic - actually gratuitious - art. I can imagine mom and pop variety and comic book outlets that had NO IDEA what was in them, happily selling them to the kids in the neighborhood!

Hepcat · January 13, 2012, 05:17:27 PM

I've posted scans of a couple pf mine earlier in this thread.

ChrisW · January 13, 2012, 08:39:24 PM

Have to admit I didn't scan ther whole thread - This goes back a ways!

Here's a trip down memory lane. I remember my dad going out on Thansgiving morning, circa 1964, to pick up out-of-town newspapers and some last minute grocery item for my mom. When he came back, he handed me...CREEPY No. 1. He had looked through it at the store, and I remember him telling me about EC, and how these artists were some of the best you could find in the comics. He continued to buy Creepy, EErie and Vampirella for years.
