Some Alpha Flight appearances

[Flightpath07]

I'm now the proud owner of said Golden book. I've been on it for about 5 years and never saw one in such perfect condition.

Hey, congratulations!

I absolutely must touch that Guardian button.

[Flightpath07]

I haven't put the batteries in yet but I'll let you know what sounds it makes. I absolutely must touch that Guardian button.

Inquiring minds want to know; what's your battery situation, Rob? Do we need to all pitch in and buy you some?

[Phil]

Nice one Rob.

Mine's somewhere over the ocean at as we speak!

[Le Messor]

What is: "the Marvel convention edition of Alpha Flight Fear Itself Issue one,"? (Also, the notorious New Avengers #16? Agh!)

[Phil]

It was a free sampler given away at Fan Expo 2011 that contained previews of Marvel titles including the full first issue of Vol.4 #1.

And luckily New Avengers Vol.2 #16 so not the death issue... just a bizarre coincidence in numbers.

Haha I haven't gotten around to putting batteries in it. I'll have to make a nice recording too. I'll do it someday.

Aha! So there's no story in there that I don't have?
... and that is a bizarre coincidence.

Then we'll have bootleg recordings of books. Bootbooks... you should start a business selling booted audiobooks.

Wouldn't bootbooks be books sold out of one's car?

[Le Messor]

Well, in this case, Rob sits in the back of his car and reads books out loud.

Now there is a reality show that I'd watch!

I think his first book to read aloud should be Alpha Flight Volume 1, Issue 6. (No real need to turn the book and show the pictures, either!)

It's funny you mentioned AF v1 #6 as an example of a wordless book. In actuality there are more words in the 5 1/2 pages of white panels in that book than in the entirety of most comic books sold today.

I knew that!
I actually didn't say it was wordless. I just got a kick out of the mental picture of a elementary school teacher reading to kids and the kids clamoring for the teacher to turn the book so they can see the pictures...lol...John Byrne gets 'em again!

Ha! interesting tidbt. I need to reread it to see for myself.

[Phil]

Wait till Claremont gets going again, then we'll have more words!

[Le Messor]

Hmm... I've always thought of Byrne as wordier than Claremont.
Look at that bit about the lake in #16.
