tilliban and the German collectors uploads
Yoc:
Thanks very much T, love seeing these getting the C2C treatment!
:)
tilliban:
Hi, gang!
Wanted to tell you that I changed my profile picture.
It's hard to recognize, but that's me with a copy of ACEs BEYOND high up in the Swiss Alps!
A new trend is born:
Shlepping valuable comic books on mountain tops to be torn by windfall and gnawed upon by goats!
Whaddya think?
:D
Yoc:
Hi T,
Cool pic!
I like the idea. It reminds me of that stuffed animal taken around the world for pics. I forget what it was now. But yours is perfect for DCM, etc.
:)
John C:
I'm reminded of an old Infocom contest, where they gave a prize to the best picture of someone with one of their games on the Great Wall of China. As I recall, they got a pile of entries, and one of the winners was just a boot toe and the corner of a game in front of the Great Wall's...encyclopedia entry.
So yes, I do envision the potential for a "strangest place you've read a comic" contest.
Oh, right. To fill in the blanks, Infocom was a software company in the late '70s and early '80s that made their name on text adventures like the "Zork" series, which were generally well-written, irreverent, and came packaged with an assortment of "feelies," physical artifacts to help bring you into the game.
Should you young'uns want to know the frustration of having to guess what the programmer wanted you to do without any viable hints available on the screen, rather than installing Windows 8 (sorry, couldn't resist), you can give this a shot:

(Yes, it's pretty much legal. Activision licensed the game for redistribution a long while ago as a publicity stunt for an otherwise-forgettable game.)
tilliban:
Hmmmm,
I wasn't thinking of repeating the "comics in strange places"-idea, but... but... but...
I'll be in Paris next month, maybe with a comic book on top of the Eiffel Tower.
:o
Will be meeting Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. there, who brings me some DCM-missing ACE horror books.
So the next months will bring new uploads of BEYOND / BAFFLING / HAND OF FATE and the one last issue of WEB OF MYSTERY.
For this week I proudly present from my own "collection" of 15 comic books:

Tadaaa!
