I was 11 when this first aired, so I remember nothing about it, but check out this old Mike Douglas Show clip. Really impressed with Jamie Farr, and yes, I know a lot of you young peeps have no idea who that is, but he really knew his comics. He was a true fan (even though you can tell Mike Douglas is not)
The way they handled those books in this clip
EEEKKK.
And the one for $1,500 ... sure, I will buy that for that amount.
For those that don't want to read the short article, Wendy Pini (who later creates ELFQUEST) also makes a brief appearance at the end
