The Reverend's Want List

[Reverend]

I figured I'd go ahead and put the rest of my immediate want list up. I realize that a few of the items on it are, what some might call, über rare (e.g., Trash Comix, Running Dog), but what the hell. As always, my preference is high-grade, but I will make concessions for the rarer books.

I still need to post my British want list, however, the items on that are exponentially more obscure than those already listed here.

[Visitor Q]

Did Chas pass away, I know I read he has cancer earlier this year.
PM sent.

From another forum:
"As everyone here knows,Chas. Balun was been suffering from inoperable lymphatic cancer and he had to go through chemotherapy last week,with Chas. saying that he's doing much better now,courtesy of all of the fans that have e-mailed him and send him "get well' cards.

Shawn,if you any latest news on Chas. to add here(that nobody has yet heard about on any of the other sites),just let us know here on the board."

I saw Shawn replied to that thread.

"I have no new info for you unfortunately, other than he is doing better and he is having a break from the Chemo now. He is working on new designs for us now as well. I'll let you know as the info comes in. Thanks for caring -shawn"

ps. Sorry for the hi-jack

[Reverend]

I got all excited, thinking that you found one of the comics on my want list!

I'm relieved to hear that Chas is doing better.

[Visitor Q]

Well I did met Chas once in NJ so if I ever know that I am going to run into him again, I can ask him about those minis... On another note, if you are looking for Chas original art, I can maybe help you as I know someone who has some.

[Reverend]

As much as I love having original art, I just don't have the space for it.

[Visitor Q]

Fair Enough.
