Couple of questions. Quote: Originally Posted by GAC Tracking shows the book should arrive to my house tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Quote: Originally Posted by multi007 Another question about MCS.

It wanted me to fill out a shipping form to send the slab(s) to them, but before I do that, id like to know about the pricing. Do they set the price, do I? and if I do, WHERE is that page? I cant seem to locate it. Thanks. |

You set the price. After they accept your book they send you a link to all your consigned items and you decide what you want to sell it for. You can change the price at any time so you have a lot of freedom in that regard. Edit I would send in a couple of low value books and test the waters. It's easier to see what we are talking zbkut when you actually experience the process. It's easier than I thought it would be |

@GAC and @Davethebrave - Both plausible, but based on what evidence? He could have backed into a cactus, gotten head-butted or kicked by an animal, sat on a hornet/bee/wasp’s nest, been burnt by a flame- thrower, or dozens of other slap-stick gags seen on the covers of other comics of this time period, like Archie, Bugs Bunny, or the Katzenjammer Kids. It seems odd they would leave you guessing, and based on the “Contents” section for this book at MCS, this doesn’t appear to be a panel from a story in this comic. Anyway, I have already spent far too much time trying to figure it out, but it is a pretty funny cover, nevertheless. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo I read the book and he was messing around with dog whistles so the cover seems apropos. Edit: rear patch missing of pants is also pretty standard “dog bit ass” BUT agree we will likely never know. One of life’s mysteries. |

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo There's no evidence, that's true but I think that's what the artist may have been implying...not sure. I'll agree that it is weird if the starters pistol did shoot Ozzie in the butt but if not, then that just one other thing that makes this cover very confusing |

The cover art has little to do with the story inside as that scene isn't replicated in the interior pages. | ||

It's a copy of Clone 1 skybound. If you were to pay a pro to color that you would need a 2nd mortgage on your house... lol... clickable text |

![]() Is the market correction over? Is this book a good indicator? Or is this going to be a 1k book by summer? |
