Title: Victory is mine! Post by: Super Monkey on February 28, 2005, 09:09:17 PM I just won a copy of The Great Superman Book from Ebay and for less than $20!
So once I get it, then I will be able to add a lot more to the site. :s: Title: Re: Victory is mine!

Wow -- no wonder Super Monkey's avatar looks so smug. :wink: Congratulations on scoring such a coup, Super Monkey. Hope it arrives soon in good condition. Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: TELLE on March 01, 2005, 03:04:51 AM Congrats SM! However, I feel the need to gloat that my copy has the used bookstore price of $4.99 --the price I paid sometime over ten years ago. :D
And I will not be rushing to transcribe much more as I am a 2-fisted typist and there has got to be an easier way now that it is the 21st Century. :D Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: Bill 9000 on March 01, 2005, 08:03:37 AM I ... hate you. :evil: :wink:

Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: Super Monkey on March 01, 2005, 11:48:30 PM I just been told that the book has shipped!
BTW, did you all know there was a softcover and hardcover versions of this book? I am getting the softcover, thus the low price, but it looks near mint :D Title: Re: Victory is mine!

Yeah, I've been meaning to get one of those since about 1998 (my girlfriend was born with it:wink:). Title: Re: Victory is mine!

I purchased a copy of that Book over twenty years ago at Waldenbooks on sale for about 8 bucks or so. Darn thing is I packed it away when I moved to my current job and haven't seen it for about a Decade. Personally I think it intersected with Hypertime and is somewhere with another me in Hypertime (where comics still cost no more than a buck or so) Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: nightwing on March 03, 2005, 08:49:28 AM If you ever find a way into that Universe, let me know. I've got my bags packed already.
If it helps, I have a hardly-used treadmill ready for upgrade to "cosmic." Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: Super Monkey on March 14, 2005, 04:45:04 PM I got the book today and it's mint too!
:D So now I can add even more that I have been :P :twisted: Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: nightwing on March 15, 2005, 11:01:50 AM Mint for under $20? You did score!
Congrats. :D Title: Re: Victory is mine! Post by: Super Monkey on March 15, 2005, 11:10:12 AM After you great write up on your site, I think you should do the Flash entry Nightwing.
