DT Spoiler - Enter at your own risk!
Spoiler:
King's underwear, signed and framed. Just kidding.
When the money allows it, I'm going to buy home stuff from Betts' Bookstore. Magazines with King's stories and essays, and some hardcovers. I've always wanted the US hardcover of N&D, plus a few other (as I'm not really into the UK ones).
And trying to get scans of more rare stuff, newspaper articles (especially the essays and letters published in Bangor Daily News).
There's also a Danish writer named Dennis Jürgensen whom I want to start collecting. He's been called the Danish Stephen King. He's pretty good, he often uses lots of humor in his works, and he's met the same snobbish attitude here as King has in the US (you know, among the so-called academics).
I've been to Betts Books... it was like walking into a dream. :sigh:
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
You know, I just never got into them. I bought the first five issues, and then just stopped. I decided that since they were not writen by Stephen King, they were not truely part of the tale. Here is what I have for sale:
All are GUNSLINGER BORN.
I have:
#1 Regular
#1 Color Variant
#1 Color Variant (2nd printing)
#2 Regular
#2 Color Variant
#3 Regular
#3 Sketch Variant
#3 Color Variant
#4 Regular
#4 Sketch Variant
#4 Color Variant
#5 Regular
#5 Color Variant
None have ever been out of their bag.
