IN A FEW MORE DAYS....

SW Collectors Edition 1977

My mind can't quite get around the fact that in a few more days it will be October with the new year being right around the corner after that. Where has the year gone?? When I started this blog I thought I'd be so good at posting on it only to find out, ironically enough, that I really don't have much to say. 

My life is pretty boring and I have no earth shattering notions that would interest a flea let alone a human. LOL So in future  I can't say that I will be posting to much. I do want to continue sharing my collection of the original run of the Star Wars comics in the hopes that someone out there is actually reading the ones I post and enjoying them. Especially if they don't have them or are missing that particular issue in their collection.  And I will also post the paper dolls from my collection that I have been sharing as well. 

The pin-up for this posting, also from the Star Wars Collectors edition features the back cover of the issue and one of the easiest ones I've had to put together. Probably because it was the back cover and all I had to do is make sure each scan was straight. Not so easy to do when dealing with a folded page. At least the characters look closer to their rezl counterpsrts than in previous pin-ups which is why this one is my favorite. So with that, here is the rest of issue three. I will try to start the issue four next month coinciding with the same month it came out 1977. Without meaning to. I had noticed that my postings were matching the exact same month the original comic came out in. 

I haven't posted a pin-up for September. I try to do one related to the month...like for school but rarely do I find one with that theme. 

Al Moore September 1950 

She is crossing her fingers...wonder if that is a gent on the other end of the line. Aside from myself...does any one remember actually USING a rotary phone? How times have changed since this pin-up was painted. 

I'm reading a really good and very erotic book entitled Challenging Dante by Lynne Graham. She's one of my favorite authors and I have yet to be disappointed in one of her novels. This is the fourth and final book in her Marshall sisters series. 

How about a change of pace from Jane Arden's and Boots paper dolls? Today we have a Tillie the Toiler from September 27th 1936. 

In Photoshop I tried the blue dress on the doll but it really doesn't fit her. I've a notion to redraw this one and even design some new frocks for her. 

And of course I have to do a black and white version. :)

Well, I am pleased to have made it through another posting. I know I am absolutely horrible in keeping up with it but the one thing I do enjoy is sharing my paper doll collection and posting the Star Wars comics that I had. I have pretty much sold my entire collection with only a few remaining to post on Ebay as well as make complete scans of. the remaining comic books. Tedious I suppose but worth the effort I think. 

Til' next time...
