Yes, DR Jrand62, the square shape held up a little better on the Lancers.

I envy you having had the comics, though. For some reason, I have no idea why, I only ever acquired a few such comics. And what few I had are long gone. I had a few Twilight Zones, probably a few Disney movies, and of course a few Illustrated Classics. (I've bought a few of those in recent years, and would actually like to get some more.) And let us not even bring up the Superman, etc., that disappeared ages ago. Not that we knew how to care for them then. But still...

I think this is the novelization of HHW..... "Never had so desperate a group of human beings banded together...."

An excellent observation!

I like that illustration showing that you could sit on the sofa and watch the SIDE of the television set.

As it happens, this is a Lancer I found just a few years back (and yes, nicely squared off) -- even before knowing the special significance...

This one's not in very good shape but I've never come across another. Not that I've looked. I read it a few times back in the day and it barely held up to the years of abuse. Nevertheless...

(Looks like I might be able to take some lighter fluid to where that fu doggone childhood address label had been applied.)

I think I am going to have a T-Shirt printed with this logo from earlier today:

I probably took me longer to make that than it took Percy to write the book....

More nice covers DR CHAS SMITH. Our dear friend Miss Susan Gordon once said that one of her enduring memories from that film was wondering how Martha Hyer kept herself....or herselves....inside that dress during all the running and heavy breathing that was going on....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #98 on:** July 19, 2013, 10:46:03 AM »

I still need to watch that. I did find it on what looked like a pretty second-rate DVD last year.

I'm up. I was up at six-thirty, fell back asleep an hour later. So, jog can't happen until late this afternoon.

Wonderful covers - I believe the Ray Milland End of the World book's film had its title changed to Panic in the Year Zero.

Mine aren't as exciting as many here and I got rid of many over the years. I've always been mainly interested in science fiction. "The Sirens of Titan" is one of my all-time favorites.

I remember the drugstore where I bought this one the morning after the movie opened. I'd already read and loved the story via my mother's Readers Digest condensation, so it was a thrill to not only have the striking tie-in design, but to be able to read it unabridged. As a side note, the little ink drawings in the Readers Digest meant so much to me back then, before the film, that I still keep a copy of it now for purely sentimental reasons.

I love that Penguin QUATERMASS, DR Doug R!

Oh very nice DR DOUG R!!!

Here's some US John Wyndham for you:

BTW, if anyone here likes this stuff at all, but hasn't read any Wyndham ..... DO IT. Wonderful books.

All three Quatermass films were done as Penguin paperbacks and if you have the set and their first printings they are valuable. I have a lovely set. They are the true first editions.

My uncle took my sister and me to see JOURNEY for our first time at one of the grand old downtown theaters in Columbus.
My family and I saw MASTER OF THE WORLD at drive-ins a couple of times.

For the entire week on Screen Archives Entertainment's site, A Place in the Sun has been the number one selling soundtrack.

Well here it is....the first secret hush hush never before seen ripped from the headlines scorching undercover sizzling unvarnished naked unabridged ADULT photo of MYSELF and some of the cast of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE......taken Tuesday evening when some people were trying on their costumes. This is NOT my costume. If you are familiar with the show, you will recognize most of the characters. Reducing the size caused some SQUEEZING of some faces....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #118 on:** July 19, 2013, 11:46:58 AM »

And I think this is about the last of what I scanned...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #119 on:** July 19, 2013, 11:48:48 AM »

SQUEEZING takes off a few pounds, DR Jrand62.
