I'll have to dig it out and take a photo for everyone... it's totally digusting now though and all warped and nappy 'n shit. I still had one of the first wave of Creature Aurora kits fully built and painted too. It wasn't mine but my uncle's... he gave it to me in the early 70's but it got crushed in a box on one of my many moves. Very sad day indeed.<BR/><BR/>Hope everyone enjoyed the 70's Flash Forward today, next week on Time Machine Day it'll be Bernard Bailey's turn to show us what he had up his flared sleeve.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow: Eyes are gonna fly!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-34031149356459481622009-01-14T19:16:00.000-06:002009-01-14T19:16:00.000-06:00I actually had one of those shrunken head kits whe...I actually had one of those shrunken head kits when I was a kid.

I used to have that kit. And the Aurora models bring back memories of my childhood and my early fascination with horror. I never built one myself, but my brother's friend had a shelf full of 'em. <BR/><BR/>Both stories were pretty good today, especially considering when they came out (in the dreaded PG rated DC horror days).<BR/><BR/>Great way to start a Wednesday.

That would have REALLY been unexpected. As for the art, really liked it. No one draws architecture like Grandenetti. I'm also gonna do a quick casting call on this one; Candace Hilligoss as Kay, and Oliver Reed as Ben(page 7 panel 2.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-28604223797863857682009-01-14T03:48:00.000-06:002009-01-14T03:48:00.000-06:00Jerry Grandenetti is one of my favorite artists an...Jerry Grandenetti is one of my favorite artists and Don Perlin is underrated as well.
