 | | FSR: A belated happy birthday! I failed to notice in a timely manner that you'd entered into the treacherous realm of 64-hood. I fervently hope that you make it to the next birth anniversary without incident, escaping the fate that met Staunton, Steinitz, Fischer and others. |

 | | FSR: The cover of Archie Comics #112 (August 1960 - the month of my birth, and the month after yours), has Archie sitting at a chess table. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?... The "1943 Archie Comics" refers to the first issue of the series, not the date of this comic. I already have a copy, framed. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Chess has popped up in Archie's comics a few times. https://www.redhotpawn.com/imgu/blo... https://www.redhotpawn.com/imgu/blo... DC Comics did a couple of chess covers that are very similar right down to having the board the wrong way around. https://www.redhotpawn.com/imgu/blo... |

 | | Sally Simpson: <Hi Stone Free> I have a copy of that 1975 Chessman comic. Danny Kopec gave it to me along with a pile of American chess mags when he left Scotland. I offered to swap a pristine copy of 'Fischer's Complete Games' by Wade and O'Connell for his own copy which was scuffed and battered and practically every game had his notes and been attacked with a highlight pen. He declined. |
|
Feb-27-25 | | stone free or die: <Sally - He declined.> haha. Old books are like old slippers - hard to part with. |
