Had to touch up Doctor Doom a little. I hurried through it and didn't really notice some mistakes; which I circled in the following pic.

As someone who was raised with very few practical skills I'm always envious of guys who have a garage full of tools and know how to use them.

Looks like some of the little fellas are probably just napping. We need a "show something cool and disturbing" thread.

Some historical items from the Harvey production dept:

These tear strips were used in the production of the Harvey horror comics.



For the cover of Little Lotta 71 significant modifications were made to the giant candy box. Warren Kramer found it more efficient to make these changes on a glossy stat of his original inked art. This is the actual cover art used for the comic, but a mix of pen and ink and photostat.

Another tear strip and glossy stat from the horror books:

Could you elaborate more on what a tear strip is for those of us who aren't familiar with the term? I am curious is all.

Sure. The horror books had a table of contents in each issue. These were generally pasted together by production department. Here are a couple of examples of the published pages:





And just for kicks, here is the published cover art for Little Lotta 71:

i thought I would show the phases on a pool we built. Had to demo the pond first, the rocks we pulled out of there were hundreds of pounds and covered in Algae then we built the pool in its footprint. Fun little project, customer was happy and got a few referrals from him

Hey! That's my backyard! Wait never mind, I don't have a pool. Or much of a backyard. My mistake.
But I feel like I've seen a similar view before at a customers home. Is that home in Anaheim Hills by chance?

Remember Sobe? Somewhere around 15 years ago in high school I made this guitar pick out of one of the metal Sobe lids. I found it the other day; I have unknowingly been dragging this around for all these years.

@EbaySeller that job is in Yuciapa, I've only built one pool in Anaheim hills. I don't like going in that area because of the traffic. I did remodel a pool for lavar ball in chino hills

@OGJackster

You can create a folder on a free Google drive, dropbox or any other cloud service and share a link. Set permissions to read only and be done with it.

That's what I ended up doing when showing my comics in the top 50 comics thread a little while back....

@Bronte dude, you have some beautiful books there 3 hulk 181's, batman 121,Spider-Man 6. You could sell or trade off your duplicates and get other keys or are you holding off until the market gets stronger for those books, or do you just like having multiple copies of awesome books
