I also forgot about the Epics (unforgiveable!), AND all the Image stuff....which, of course, is entirely forgiveable. ;)

What really excites me is that there were very few 'surprises' (like Iron Man #243...dint know that!) on the list.

Yay!

Smith GbP "Return to Health" Print

Post by stjamesdawson »

Checklist-wise, has anyone mentioned Smith's "Return to Health" print, sent out by Gorblimey (at no charge) after BWS had recuperated from some hiatus-necessitating health problem in the 1970s? I assume that these were sent to "regular customers" of GbP, but I have no idea what determined who got them. I had ordered copies of all GbP prints issued up to that time, which I assume is how I rated getting one. It measures about 19 inches tall by 9.5 inches wide, printed on cream-color heavy stock with b/w art, and features St. George fighting a dragon at top, a tall female warrior-angel holding a trident, a shield with the British flag emblem, and a lion's head. At the bottom it says, "To friends and associates of GbP, in gratitude for your patience and support. Barry Smith returns to health with thanks. We remain The Gorblimey Press (and the address)." Rare? Priceless?

I'll take a pic and upload it later -- for now, though, a question: My post about the "return to health" print was my first on this message board. How do I get rid of the line that appears below my username? I have no idea why the line "paulsmith56 is my hero" appears below "stjamesdawson." That is not something I typed, selected, or want on my posts (even if "paulsmith56" might be a lovely person). Any advice?

I just tried to click on the "Find all posts made by
paulsmith56.wanadoo.co.uk link" under his name and it says "No topics or posts met your search criteria". Have we lost the only post made by the great Paul Smith?

Good, you found it. I was getting a little worried that we might have lost that ol' gem.

Smith GbP "Return to Health" Print

Post by stjamesdawson »

If I've managed to upload correctly, the mid-1970s Barry Smith (as he was then known) "Return to Health" print should be below. (If it isn't, simply go to the URL http://www.geocities.com/stjamespl.geo/ ... hprint.jpg to see it.)

I'll probably put this up for bids on eBay within a few weeks -- I will post a notice here when I do, in case anyone is interested! Enjoy!
