Since we’re living in the Dumbest Timeline, the seller really needed to add a “cape does not confer power of flight” disclaimer.

You need to buy the Lone Ranger’s mask to complete the trifecta.

I still wouldn’t mess with Jim though.

That seems a little low, IMO, but what do I know.

In other news, Bernie Wrightson’s original art for his labor of love Frankenstein sold for $1.2 million!!! IIRC this is the highest paid for original comic art (well, techincally it was an illustrated novel.)

I have a signed print from the book, and it is AMAZING how detailed his work is on this. I still need to get the actual book.

The copy I have is perfect bound (the square type of binding with glue in the spine), and so you lose something where illustrations vanish in to the gutter. I wish they’d gone for gate fold pages on the double page spreads. The pdf version hopefully avoids this.

This thread is about Jim Croce lyrics, apparently. Stay on topic.

The only people who can tell me what to do have a custom Continental, and an Eldorado too, a thirty two gun in their pocket for fun, and a razor in their shoe.

I’d be more afraid of the man who bested him: Willie “Slim” McCoy.

It does seem a little low. Better tape a banana to it.
