Book Collection: Bad Penny

[Bad Penny]

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

Thanks for the feedback Frank - Nebal (The Mist) is an interesting piece











However, whilst some of the interior plates almost make contextual sense - there are ... the ... others .... (do you have any idea what the thinking was behind some of these)

I think the cover drawing looks like a colon?

P.S. All kidding aside... beautiful book !

[Bad Penny]

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.

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.

[Bad Penny]

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 ) however; I have been forunate enough to pick up one or two that are a little scarcer than others

[Bad Penny]

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

Alas, I do not have an artistic bone in my entire body 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

My little Tower of Pennybabel



WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THIS?

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) 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

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!!!!

Spoiler:

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)

SMART BUY & believe me they are SPECIAL. Are they one of a kind & are they signed?

Yes,
Herbert Brandmeier´s illustrations are ´SPECIAL´.

#8 - I like this interpretations.

Holy Bat Crap Frank - you have 10 copies of Nebel ????? And, yep, Herbert's illustrations are "special" - in oh so many special ways

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

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

[Jimimck]

Holy shit. Lost for words. What a collection!
Just awesome. Nice to know there is a collection like that just across the ditch lol.

[Bad Penny]

Thanks Jimimck - its good to have a neighbour on board

[Bad Penny]

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

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



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



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.



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

[needfulthings]

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



FYI The creatures name is FLUFFY.




ALSO LOVE THE CHRISTINE LICENCE PLATE.

[Ben Staad]

Love, love, love, the crate beast.

[Brice]

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

[Bad Penny]

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

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)

[Jimimck]

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)

[Bad Penny]

The Cemetery Dance 25th Anniversary art portfolio (matching # 255 to one of my S/L editions).

[Jimimck]

Yeah the CD edition does look amazing.

Hey how about we have a bet on the Bledisloe this year. If the AB's retain it, you send one of thoese S/L's this way LOL
