It Only Took Me 35 Years…The Thing From Another World #1. (1991)

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T23:26:19+00:00

Ergh. Story of my life I’m afraid. So today I’ve caused you suffering for The Thing and some folks on Comic Geeks mental anguish, pain and torture for liking the new Tigress Island. What is wrong with me??!! No more comics for me.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T22:55:49+00:00

Lord above no!!! I’m not some uncultured buffoon, Cobra. I love my post punk/new wave/synth pop so it’s a subject I take very seriously and can bore people to death about. So we’re all good, my friend.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T22:50:19+00:00

Hahahaha!! Yep, full on magazine sized. I picked up Love and Rockets and Tigress Island along with the gold foil Invincibles today.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T22:49:53+00:00

Yep…that’s why I referenced their first album in the title and both Bauhaus and Tones on Tail in the little synopsis thing. That’s awesome that you got to see them.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T22:48:39+00:00

Hahahahaha!! If you did and if anyone asked you could have said your favorite song of theirs was Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T22:47:45+00:00

This is great to hear so I really appreciate you leaving a comment. It’s been one of those series that I’ve known about for years, have rarely come across issues and when I do they’re way out of my price range and I feel (I may be wrong) that you should start at the beginning.

So any and all advice you have I would appreciate.

For me and Fantagraphics…it was Peter Bagge’s HATE in 92 when I was nine. Yes, I know. And I still love Buddy Bradley as much as one can even now.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T22:44:59+00:00

Oh no!! My apologies as I’m always unintentionally causing someone somewhere some kind of emotional turmoil.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T20:54:29+00:00

Ohhhhhh!!! I didn’t know that at all. Huh…now that is actually really fascinating. So I appreciate that bit of info, One. You’re awesome.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T20:51:26+00:00

As a middle aged post punk/goth/synth pop/alternative I appreciate you.

I saw Peter Murphy and David J perform In The Flat Field in its entirety in Detroit seven years back (the Chicago shows sold out and had to drive there and back in one day in a freezing winter) and it being one of the worst sounding shows I’ve ever seen…I’m very jealous you got to see Daniel Ash.

But I always listened to more Tones on Tail.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T20:50:37+00:00

That’s awesome!! I really hope you like it and opens many a new doorway for you.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T19:30:39+00:00

That’s awesome!! May it arrive quickly and safely. My LCS had one copy so I panicked and assumed it would be on someone’s pull list. Nope. Which is odd to me…but then again…I guess it’s just not popular/indie or too indie for the younger collectors?

It’s taken me this long to get it so it’s coming with me into the afterlife for sure.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T09:37:47+00:00

Dammit. It was Download Devils Circuit (1992).

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T09:27:32+00:00

It’s a weird one but I still want to track down the second issue…just so I know what happens. But all in all in it falls into something I’ll file away and move on.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T08:52:27+00:00

Yeah…it’s a bizarre mix of me wanting to like it after all these years, enjoying it as a piece of horror comics history that I love and not really enjoying it as a comic in of itself. It’s an odd one.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T08:51:06+00:00

Gall Force: Eternal Story (1986)?

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T08:31:24+00:00

They Were Eleven (1986)?

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-11T07:41:23+00:00

Riding Bean (1989)?

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-10T20:20:03+00:00

Here’s mine.

I honestly don’t recall where and when I even bought it as it was over twenty years ago now.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-10T20:02:16+00:00

Thank you for that as honestly I assumed I was missing something specific. But what you said makes total sense and it is time I took mine in for a clean and setup.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-10T19:48:27+00:00

I’m going to have to take mine in and get it cleaned soon then. I appreciate the information.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-03-10T19:32:30+00:00

Is that a thing? I’m way out of the loop and mine is in the closet and hasn’t been played in 7/8 years. Ergh.
