I'll stick to collecting back issues of Jack Kirby's "Kamandi" and Gene Colan's "Tomb of Dracula". At least most of their early issues will still give me change from a fiver.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-72405594118225775032014-11-16T08:07:39.686-08:002014-11-16T08:07:39.686-08:00Hindsight is wonderful.

Sadly, one of the Fantastic Four comics I sold featured the first appearance of the Silver Surfer and if I'd have known how much THAT comic was going to be worth I'd have definitely held on to it.

Jack Kirby and Stan Lee really created a load of top characters during that period; including Dragon Man (whom I'm currently painting). Happy days indeed :-) I don't suppose you still have your copy?Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-16946034474512324832014-11-16T03:34:53.040-08:002014-11-16T03:34:53.040-08:00Great job Bk.

However, as you'll later see with some of my basing of the 28mm "Pulp Figures", if there's one thing I can;t stand, its a mini with bits slightly sticking out over a base.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-7508901570844452742014-11-16T02:55:01.949-08:002014-11-16T02:55:01.949-08:00Ruddy 'eck!

I was instantly taken by them and thought they were great allies of the FF.

But I really need to crack on with the Oldhammer Skinks and some other minis I've pulled out of loft in order to have a couple of forces for a new rule set I've bought. Having met many of the Docs I have to say McCoy and Colin Baker were absolute gents. Indeed both have signed some of my 'Mooretoons' I've drawn of them for me and Baker did have one of my cartoons in a frame in his downstairs bathroom!! Or at least that's what he told me. I suppose he could have meant when he got home he threw it down the toilet..!?! :-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-39778629007903077612014-11-15T10:26:40.863-08:002014-11-15T10:26:40.863-08:00I have to say in all honesty that I am shocked at ...I have to say in all honesty that I am shocked at how much better Lockjaw looks now you've painted him over the original. The others are also coming on well too even your "not Dr Who" (though in my opinion the show has not been Dr Who since Slyvester McCoy's era, but thats just me being a misable old g*t).<br /><br />Cheers RogerDick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.com
