Book Collection: Bad Penny

[Bad Penny]

Okay, enough lurking in the background - time to start a little thread of my own on this most illustrious forum.

Welcome to the start of my little collection of odds and ends (primarily, I collect Stephen King books, art and ephemera).

As you may gather, moving forward, I tend to have a Pennywise theme happening (my avatar is a Glenn Chadboure original and the opening thread picture being a limited edition marionette).

I'll start with some general views of my reading room (detail and individual books will come a little later on down the track).

Please, enjoy :)

A few of the awesome Dolso cases that I'm fortunate enough to have in my collection.

A different view, including some of the SK related art and ephemera littering my room.

Awesome!!! You know I LOVE those "Dolso" cases, but the other things that are "teased" Righteous!!!!!

A Chadbourne/Wrightson inspired (and signed) COTW montage and a couple of pieces of ephemera.

Glad to see you don't CLOWN AROUND when it comes to your KING collection. Just one word SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.

[Bad Penny]

Thanks for the positive comments guys, I'm really looking forwards to posting the individual books (and art, and remarques, and ephemera) that make up my little collection :dance:

[Cook]

Bad Penny...
Very very nice collection.

[biomieg]

I want a reading room.

Wonderful collection! I'm glad to see some love for UK editions and proofs, too.

[Brice]

Absolutely incredible! :thumbsup:

[Stockerlone]

An AMAZING COLLECTION !!!
It´s great to see ES + NEBEL - EDITON PHANTASIA

[Dan]

Wow! Keep the pictures coming!

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, as I've said before!

John

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Scarey! But in a good way. One question, is that Colorado Kid one of the 33 numbered copies in a RED slipcase? Are the three slipcases different colors? I'm asking because the one I have is green.

You have a lot of great items there.

[RIC #520]

BP .. really nice collection
I notice you display a lot of your limited books with slip cases "backwards". Is that by preferance, or that the way they are designed to be displayed?

[Randall Flagg]

Excellent displays.

[ELazansky]

BP .. really nice collection

Nice collection indeed.

I also do the slipcases "backwards" if the slipcase has printing on it. Just another way to keep the light off of the spines if you can.

I do as well. Seems more uniform and denotes them as "Special" !!!


Awesome Collection BP!!!!!

Wow, very nice collection! How long have you been collecting for?

[Bad Penny]

Wonderful collection! I'm glad to see some love for UK editions and proofs, too.

Well, being an antipodean, I'm honour bound to include the UK 1sts in my collection (and, as you know, some of the earlier editions are significantly scarcer than their US counterparts). As regards the proofs, I have a scattering, however; these were acquired (for the most part) by accident rather than design) :)

[biomieg]

Well, it so happens that I have a couple of proofs looking for a new home. If you're interested, send me a PM ;)

Looking forward to detailed pics of your prized possessions!

Thanks Ric :) - As regards displaying limiteds, my personal preference is to have slip cases with printed spines with the case spine facing outward, others prefer the uniformity of having the book spine facing out, irrespective of whether the case spine is printed or not. This said, I don't think there's a wrong way or a right way, just whatever appeals to the individual collector.

You have a lot of great items there.

The tray cased copy of The Colorado Kid is a Publishers Copy (seems that PS Publishing produced more of these than there were of the actual numbered copies) of the 33 run.

I got an okay deal on it at the time (I wasn't that eager to add it to the collection) but the combination of Stephen King's signature and Glenn Chadbourne's art (I'm quite the fan) swayed me :)

Oh, and yep, each of the artists had a different coloured tray case.

Wow, very nice collection! How long have you been collecting for?

Hey Shannon - Have been a rabid collector (my better half would probably lean more towards the term "hoarder") of Stephen Kings work (and associated bits and pieces) for maybe 10 years or so - I've enjoyed his work from the very beginning, when I purchased a paperback copy of Carrie because I was still too young to purchase a movie ticket to see the movie when it first came out. It's only been the last ten years though where I've been able to indulge in my collection (partly because of finances, mostly because Australia isn't exactly a treasure trove of limited editions) :)

[Bad Penny]

Well, it so happens that I have a couple of proofs looking for a new home. If you're interested, send me a PM ;)

Looking forward to detailed pics of your prized possessions!

Thanks Biomeg - Proofs and ARC's aren't as appealing to me as they are to some (Hi John :smile:) however; I have been forunate enough to pick up one or two that are a little scarcer than others :D

Yes, do you make the masks, marionettes, etc?

Alas, I do not have an artistic bone in my entire body :cry: A slice of personal trivia, I was put back a year in school (from 1st class to kindergarten) because I failed "Colouring Between The Lines" and "Stick Figures 101". Despite having to do this twice, I still have the artistic skills set (or creative talent, such as the guys that made the Pennywise items I have, or, of course, Mr Olson and his awesome cases!!!) of your average squirrel :frown2:

Well, all I wanted, originally, was a mask (read as ONE mask) to sit atop my full size Pennywise (see Page 1 posts) ... Well one mask became three (the one in the middle is a filled latex "brain burst" bust) which I now swap around every so often to alleviate the boredom (mine mainly) :lol: For someone that spent their entire childhood in deathly fear of clowns (and everything else circus related) I'm obviously well over it (and probably overcompensating for it) during my middle age :unsure:

Are they "Actual" Movie related masks made for the production? Or did you commission them somehow. You know, with collector's a is in the "story" behind the item!!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:



P.S. I can relate. "Clowns" used to scare the shit outta me when I was a little kid!!!! LOL

[Bad Penny]

The masks were made by a guy in Melbourne, Australa (who disappeared off the radar several months ago) - he kept coming up with Pennywise variations, and I kept adding the little buggers to the collection. They're not "special" in any way, as they weren't commissioned specifically by me, nor were they in any way related to the TV production (although I do have a little item in the room that was a prop for The Stand miniseries, which I'll post this evening when I get home from work - it's gross to look at, but pretty cool due to its provinence) :scared:

So, they're "special" like Herbert Brandmeier's Nebel illustrations (see below) or "special" in another way ??? :emot-roflolmao:

No, seriously, as far as I know, the guy that did these did it only for a hobby, and I believe that he may have even plagurised at least one of the designs (which is a shame). The only one that I've not seen replicated is the attempt he had at a Tim Curry "Pennywise" which looks totally dorky, but funnily enough is the one that I'm most fond of) .

Oh, and not signed <sigh>

[Bad Penny]

One of my prized pieces of Stephen King related ephemera is this ugly SOB, signed by Steve Johnson (whom shared in an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Makeup in a TV Miniseries) which was used as a prop in The Stand back in 1994.

Yep, he's look like death (pun intended) but he's quite special to me :nana:

Thanks Jimimck - its good to have a neighbour on board :coo3l:

[Bad Penny]

Todays post mixes Stephen King, related ephemera and Glenn Chadbourne into a tasty little mix :D

All up, I've three Glenn Chadbourne remarqued copies of Cemetery Dance's most excellent Shivers VI, an anthology containing "The Crate".

http://imageshack.us/a/img214/4033/shivervi1b.jpg

The Crate Beast I found on eBay a couple of years back.

http://imageshack.us/a/img687/8189/shiversvi2.jpg

This remarque (and the favourite of the three that I have) was won via auction right here on TDT.org. So far as I know, it still remains a "one off" piece.

http://imageshack.us/a/img69/8896/shiversvi3.jpg

Cemetery Dance later offered both colour and remarqued copies (again by Glenn Chadbourne) so, having absolutely no impulse control to speak of, I obtained once of each :blush:

Yes, I remember when Fluffy was up for auction. I love him.

Amongst the collection I have only a few foreign language editions (a grand total of four) :smile:

I posted the German bootleg edition of Nebel (The Mist) earlier on in the thread - the next being the German bootleg limited edition of It (Es)

Do you have a favorite between ES and the CD IT S/L?

[Bad Penny]

I would have to say that the Cemetery Dance 25th Anniversary Edition of IT rules, for it presentation, its production values, its art, whereas the bootleg German edition is more a curio (albeit a rather expensive curio) :doh:

I really love Erin Wells' pencil work. McVey's Pennywise is great as well but from the moment Alan (Mr. Rabbit Trick) claimed that it was his 'spitting image' I can't seem to uncouple the two in my head and I always think of him first when I see that illustration.

I'm looking forward to seeing detailed pics of the rest of your wonderful collection!

Amazing collection Bad Penny

[Stockerlone]

Amongst the collection I have only a few foreign language editions (a grant total of four) :smile:

I posted the German bootleg edition of Nebel (The Mist) earlier on in the thread - the next being the German bootleg limited edition of It (Es)

Amazing... love the Alex MvVey & Erin Wells Remarques....
and the drawing from Amanda is AMAZING !!!

And of cause.... ES EDITION Phantasia IS beautiful...

Here is the ´NO bootleg Story:biggrin:


In 1986 Edition Phantasia published a limited edition of 500 + 30 Roman Nr. Der NEBEL Stephen King's short story The Mist . This was preceded by a closed License Agreement between the German rights holder, Heyne, and Edition Phantasia/Mr. Körber.
Mr. Körber is the owner of Edition Phantasia he was for a long time the translator for all Stephen King Books.
Stephen King/management subsequently not recognizes this contract, although a part of the books (50?) where sold. The rest get destroyed.
In the same year ES Edition Phantasia was published ( It) limited to 250 copies + 30 Roman nr. This book was the Worldfirstedition!!!

After the ´problems´ with NEBEL, the next Stephen King book project from Edition Phantasia was canseled Die Augen des Drachen-Eyes of the Dragon, but the paintings for the book from Johann Peterka are finished. Edition Phantasia decided to publish the 13 paintings as limited signed portfolio. Die Augen Des Drachen Portfolio / Eyes of the Dragon Portfolio German Edition Phantasia signed limited 100.

[Brice]

Is it possible SK's management doesn't recognize the contract because they didn't authorize/ were left unaware of any contract between Heyne and Edition Phantasia? I'm just thinking if that's the casse it might explain both viewpoints.


Bad Penny: That Wells/McVey remarqued IT is fantastic. :)

Bad Penny: That Wells/McVey remarqued IT is fantastic. :)

Yes, and of cause SK's management and publishers really don´t like that
the German Edition Phantasia ES is the Worldfirstedition.

[Brice]

...but there have been other foreign language editions that were the world's first edition, haven't there? I really think the problem might be that someone neglected to ask/consult King's US people/publisher. Meaning maybe Heyne was authorized to publish on their behalf and authorized EP to publish on their behalf, but Heyne might not have had that authority and when they found out it was an issue they just kept it to themselves that there was an agreement rather than piss off King's people themselves. Just let them think it was never authorized. Of course this is all just speculation on my part, but it kinda' makes sense. That way it could both be authorized AND bootleg at the same time.


Sorry Bad Penny, I didn't intend to hijack your thread. I'll stop.

[Shannon]

Erin Wells is so damn good, isn't she?

[Merlin1958]

Erin Wells is so damn good, isn't she?

Yes, she is!!! She was kind enough to donate 2 original pieces of art for the Fundraiser!!!! So glad it went to a loving home like yours Penny!!!!

Did you "land" the Everything's Eventual piece as well?

Inquiring Minds want to know!!! LOL

Continuing on the Pennywise theme (for now - and, yep, I do have one or two Stephen King items lying around that DON'T relate to clowns) I give you another fantastic example (well, two, as I have one for my US 1st/1st and another to house a signed copy of IT) of the work done by Dick Olson (Dolso) :drool:

Nothing short of awesome Dick !!!!

[Shannon]

Wow.

[Dan]

That's amazing. I wish I had skills like that. Beautiful collection you have.

[Brice]

I can't really afford to get into collecting aftermarket traycases for books, but Dick's work is exceptional.

[Jimimck]

If any edition deserves the Dolso treatment, its IT. Just amazing. I love the grate on the front.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Love that traycase.

[Bad Penny]

Without doubt, this is one of the most treasured items in the collection, for a whole bunch of reasons:

a) another spectacular example of Dick Olson's (Dolso) work;
b) art by Glenn Chadbourne, Alex McVey (and Julian McVey), Erin Wells and Jill Bauman;
c) auction proceeds benefited the Haven Foundation.

I know that Merlin 1958 "Bill" invested a lot of himself into this item - so kudos to you, too, mate :rock:

3) 1408 (Erin Wells);
4) Everything's Eventual (Jill Bauman - I've also included the original artwork by Jill for the cover of F&SF magazine);
5) Lunch at the Gotham Cafe (Glenn Chadbourne);

[Shannon]

That's such a great addition! Good job. :)

[Merlin1958]

So you did "land" it!! I thought so, but wasn't sure!!!! Great Item!!!! Yes I was very "invested" in this one, but it really was a "team" effort. Dick, Jerome, all the artists and I think AKC (?) donated the book. I just coordinated everything, tracked it and kept the artists advised. To their credit they were exceptionally cooperative and eager to help!!!


So glad it went to a good home!!! Plus, Dick just knocks the case outta the park!!!!!

[Bad Penny]

Of the grand total of four foreign editions of Stephen King's works I have in the collection, this is # 3.

I have it (Heyne HC Edition of It, printed in 1990) primarily because of the rather ... oddly interesting ... imagining of Pennywise portrayed on the opening endpaper :confused:

My 4th (and final) foreign edition. this one being a 1979 French (Editions Alta) copy of The Shining.

This was shipped to me in error some time ago, and although it's not my "usual" thing in terms of my collection, I do like the glassine wrapper it came in (which is why the cover art looks a little subdued) :)

I'm a huge fan of the work of Glenn Chadbourne, so when the offer came through Cemetery Dance last year to have Glenn paint you as your favourite Stephen King character, I was on it immediately (hence the avatar) :tongue:

Full shot (the intestines are a nice touch) :rolleyes2:

Yet another Dolso work of art, this slipcase for 11/22/63 is one of my absolute favourites :dance:

Although it likely looks like I have three of these cases, there's only the two (one houses the US Limited - with the real signature, the other the UK Limited - with the facsimile signature, the other one displayed, but currently housed elsewhere in the collection, is a flat signed US 1st edition) .

[Ben Staad]

Man I love those 11/22/63 cases. I may have to breakdown one of these days and order one. Congrats on the collection.

They really are out of my range too. I would have to sell my NightShift case so I could afford this one...

Thanks for the kind words good sir, and I'm sure I can find an item or two to post :smile:

[Bad Penny]

Thanks guys - I cannot speak high enough of the work that Dick Olson does - given half a chance, I'd have all my books housed in one of his creations, but I think the deforestation guys may have something to say about that :biggrin:

[jhanic]

Yeah, maybe. But who listens to them anyway? :tongue:

John

[Merlin1958]

Those are awesome, but I really think Dick should have charged y'all an extra .25 to pay for the quarters used to make them.

Actually, the price of the coin (s) I believe is figured into the cost of the case which, I believe goes for $115-135 depending on the amount of coins requested (1, 2 or 3) Believe it or not the coins cost about $10 each!!!!

I have two of them, one for my flatsigned US and one for my UK 1/1. 1 coin each.

[Bad Penny]

The voices in my head .. occasionally .. :unsure:

My final posting (for now, at least) of the fine work of Dick Olson, this being the very first of Dolso's cases that ever found its way to my collection (before I even know who Dick was).

This case was part of a deal I made on the UTD Limited Edition (of 1,500) with the Matthew Diffee cards :)

Unfortunately, not so well - the case is fine for the book, not so much for the accompanying cards :cry:

I'm a huge fan or remarques and/or "art in books", and have a small collection of these that I'm quite proud of.

The first set is these four copies of Subterranean Press' Stephen King Goes To The Movies, featuring art by Vincent Chong.

Although I'm sure no one here really needs a guide as to what the remarques depict, I'll do it anyway :smile:

One of the nicest remarques I have ever seen:)

[Bad Penny]

Yeah, Ned Dameron did a whole bunch of these, and they were always fast sellers when they were auctioned on eBay :)

[Shannon]

The Ned Dameron Waste Lands remarques are my standard of what a remarqued book SHOULD be. Amazing. One of my favorite items that I owned was Ned's "Flying Monsters" remarque. Had to sell it, but man, dude's got some skills. :)

[Cook]

Bad Penny, Very Nice!
Excellent DT III & IV remarques, makes me want to start collecting them.

[Dan]

I love your collection!

[Ben Staad]

Love the Dameron remarque! Good stuff.

[Bad Penny]

Amazing stuff.
Love Vincent Chong´s remarques. I´am on his ´waiting´ list... hope in the next weeks i can send him
SOME Stephen King and Joe Hill books:nana:

I have a couple of Vincent Chong remarqued Joe Hill's that I'll post to the thread later this week, some nice work :)

[Bad Penny]

Ahhhh, so it's you! I saw those a long time ago on the website. Great remarques! :) Also, a great book! Beautiful.

They were acquired via Analecta Books in the UK (Steve Sargent gets some great stuff, particularly remarqued stuff, although he also deals with SF and fantasy). Some of the SKGTTM remarques had been sitting on shelf for a while, so I circled for a time, kept an eye on them, then swooped on them when it seemed no one else was interested - then again, I have no impulse control, so it was a matter of when rather than if :doh:

[Bad Penny]

Man, that sucks that you had to let the 'Flying Monsters" remarque go :( But, yep, you're 100% on Ned's skills as an artist :biggrin:

[Bad Penny]

Bad Penny, Very Nice!
Excellent DT III & IV remarques, makes me want to start collecting them.

They're beautiful, but addictive - I started with one itty bitty remarque, more out of curiousity than anything else, and it swiftly became a semi-obsession (which is a good thing, well, at least it is until the credit card bill comes in at the end of the month :doh:)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

What's a 'credit card'? I never heard of that. I just go out back to the money tree and pick the ripe fifties and hundreds.

[Bad Penny]

<sigh> mine died due to the drought <_<

[Jimimck]

Credit Card = device wives use to keep their husbands useful to them.....

[Bad Penny]

This little set of PS Publishing's The Colorado Kid have each been remarqued by the artist in their respective copy (the Letter R of 26 only denotes that there were a total of 26 sets of these commissioned by the guy that I acquired them from - the set itself is a standard gift edition).

[Shannon]

I had one of those too, very cool. Now sgc1999 has most of my remarqued stuff, lol. I didn't like that the artists most of the time drew the same thing over and over again, but if you can find a set with some different images and/or at least unique interpretations of the same images, then you're golden.

[Bad Penny]

Too true Shannon, I suppose more than the odd artist tends to stick with a limited number of themes when remarquing, and, yep, it's gold when one finds something a little outside of the box (not so much this time though) ><

[Shannon]

No way, you got a good Ed Miller. I was stuck with one of the many "on the beach looking at the sun" ones.

lol, I got it for fifty bucks on eBay, not bad. :)

Also, that Dark Forces looks like a beautiful (and big) book.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I like Bauman's tiger, and that DARK FORCES book itself is amazing.

By the way, that's an infected seagull bringing a virus to humankind that will wipe us all out, so that's the BEST remarque of them all!

I set one up for the Fundraiser (AKC donated the book and I got it remarqued) then ended up buying it back!!! I talked to her on the phone at length to try to get something different, but her art requires an interpretive process that made it non-feasible. Each artist has their own "process" I've come to learn.

Nice set, Bad penny. I finally gave up on the 3rd "Potter" remarque to complete my set and just went with a Potter S/L!!! Way to persevere!!!

Oops .. did I say seagull ???? I meant ... I meant ... I meant ...mmmm ... nah ... I did mean seagull - however; having said that, your seagull is the prettiest remarqued seagull I've ever seen, and it appears, on closer examination, to be carrying the plague that ur2ndbiggestfan refers too - making it a most awesome seagull indeed Shannon !!! :blush:

Oh, and yep, Dark Forces it a pretty cool tome indeed (not to mention substantial) :biggrin:

(I have both remarques: ´On the beach looking at the sun´ and flying seagull´.:excited:

[Bad Penny]

Nice! So how many S/Ls so you have in your collection now?

If we're talking about Stephen King's work, I've a total of 35 of the US Limited Editions (I'm missing S/L's of The Gunslinger, The Plant I, II & III, My Pretty Pony, The New Lieutenant's Rap & The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon). Of the 14 UK Limited Editions, I'm short the German bootleg Misery :)

[Bad Penny]

I want that RIDING THE BULLET!

It is pretty sweet - I would have been more than happy to have been able to acquire the Lettered Edition - to luck into a remarqued copy -- heaven !!!! :drool:

[Bad Penny]

Continuing the remarque theme, a Lettered Edition (P/C) of Bev Vincent's "The Road To The Dark Tower" with a Glenn Chadbourne remarque (I've also included his rendering of Blaine the Mono, which is one of the plates within the book - simply because it's just so cool) :onfire:

Sweet!!!

[Ben Staad]

Those are some very unique (and awesome) remarques from Glenn. I love the Blaine one as its an interpretation that brings in so many aspects of him.

[Bad Penny]

Absolutely Ben, although I do wish that the Blaine were a remarque, or even better, the original art piece - instead of just a photo of one of the many pieces of Glenn's art contained within the book :)

[Ben Staad]

Absolutely Ben, although I do wish that the Blaine were a remarque, or even better, the original art piece - instead of just a photo of one of the many pieces of Glenn's art contained within the book :)

LOL! I thought it was very "glossy", bright, and filled the whole page but I figured Glenn really hooked a brother up.

Man, don't I wish !!! Having said that, after I'm done posting my current remarque collection to the thread, I can then maybe start on the art collection - I've got a bunch of original art pieces, with more than a few being Glenn's :rock:

Yeah, I'd prefer that she did more art than she does, but I do like what she does do a lot.

[Dan]

Excellent remarques!

Very nice remarques.

[Brice]

For me, it's just that I like her art a lot. I just wish there was more of it. More variety. I'd like to say I see why she doesn't do more from a story, but I guess I just really don't. If I were better at drawing I'd want to illustrate as many scenes from the stories as I could.


I do like those...especially the last one. :)

This is my favorite! All of them are good but WOW this one. I didn't actually care for this story but the drawing is great.

[Bad Penny]

Thanks guys, I have a bunch of other remarques to post (non Stephen King - for the moment, anyways) ...

Question, probably for the mods - I have some Hard Gore Press (Graham Masterton, Guy N Smith, et al) remarques that are maybe a little questionable, taste wise - some of them do feature nudity.

What's the criteria for posting "Adult" content?

An example is this remarqued (by Rick Melton) Limited Edition of Masterton's "Grease Monkey and Other Tales of Erotic Horror" (this is one of the tamest) :unsure:

[jhanic]

Bad Penny, it seems that enclosing the pics with spoiler tags works well enough.

Personally my opinion is that should be fine. Jerome or Patrick could surprise me and overule this, but honestly I doubt they will. Go ahead and post. :)

Wow, looks like she greased his monkey pretty good.
I'd make a remark about these remarkable remarques; really, but I'll just say "keep 'em comming."

In our FAQ's #7 says "(A) Sexually explicit images containing nudity are not permitted to be posted on the site at any time. Whereas (B) suggestive imagery is permissible if posted in an applicable thread, such threads must be clearly marked as NSFW (not safe for work) in the topic’s title. (C.)Suggestive images of any kind are not allowed to be used as avatars or in member signatures. Violation of this guideline will result in the removal of the image, and the posting member will be warned. Repeated violation may result in further behavioral action."
Although the definition of "explicit" is in the eye of the beholder (and thus the management here), I don't see any issue with the example you posted. My suggestion is that if you wonder, then use the Spoiler tag. You can even use the "NSFW" title in the spoiler tag. Example:http://i1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg502/GrantWootton/Remarques%20and%20Interior%20Art/GM1.jpg
Certainly any image that would be considered "X rated" or is in fact illegal would be forbidden.

[Brice]

Okay, I knew that rule, but wouldn't have thought it applied to just a drawing. Everyone interprets rules differently though.

[Shannon]

Those are remarques!? Amazing amazing stuff.

[Randall Flagg]

Okay, I knew that rule, but wouldn't have thought it applied to just a drawing. Everyone interprets rules differently though.
The way I interpret it is that nudity is not banned, but sexually explicit images are. A naked person would be fine, but a naked person performing a sex act probably would not be-whether it's a photo or a drawing.
When in doubt, using the NSFW spoiler tag gives readers the chance to "opt out" of the image popping up on their screen.

[Bad Penny]

Cool, thanks guys - and, best of all, none of the remarques I have appear to cross the lines indicated in the last couple of posts (however, will still use the NSFW tag for all of them when I post them .. starting later today .. just to be on the safe side) :D

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

We can see a picture with a stake through someone's eye and say ho-hum, but a picture of the sex act brings shudders to our spines. The human race sure is weird, pardner!

[Merlin1958]

You can say that again!!!

Yeppers, sure can be a contrary world at times :eek:

[Randall Flagg]

You can say that again!!!
We don't need to discuss site policy too much in a person's thread, but I agree, people can watch evisceration, but not sex.
That being said, a general guideline is that "R" rated images are fine-photos, drawings etc. "X" rated images are not. We have no way of assuring that all members here are over 18 years of age.
Again, each member should decide whether or not to put a NSFW (Not Safe For Work) Spoiler tag on a post, but it probably is best to err on the side that is less likely to get a member that is at work-perhaps on their break time-in trouble. The staff will ultimately rule on any post that should not be allowed.

[Bad Penny]

Okay, here goes nothing (in relation to those remarques that I have in the collection that aren't necessarily to everyones taste) :cry:

Spoiler tags (and NSFW warning) inserted as necessary :blush:

My second remarqued (by Rick Melton) Limited Edition (I've a selection of this style of remarqued edition where I've been able to secure # 109 and # 110 in the runs) of Masterton's "Grease Monkey and Other Tales of Erotic Horror".

Another Glenn Chadbourne remarque, this time in a Limited Edition (Number 3 of 100, or 166 of 1,000 - depending on which limitation page you're looking at - the screenplay itself was a limited edition of 1,000, the bound and signed copy a limited edition of 100) of John Russo's "Night of the Living Dead" screenplay.

Note - you'll likely require a language translator for the inscription, which I was able to choose myself :rock:

None of it offended me, and if I didn't own the site and have to be worried about the U.S. gov getting involved because a 13 year old should not be allowed to see the images (the Gov not me saying that) I wouldn't quibble.
