Re: [MOPO] 1.56 Million
Greg - I was familiar with NIGHT ALARM but not THE DEVIL COMMANDS. Had to look that one up. Nice graphics on both. I have seen an example of NIGHT ALARM in person and I have to say it's a pip!

Re: [MOPO] 1.56 Million
Jeez. My wife is still upset over me purchasing a Near Mint one sheet from THE DEVIL COMMANDS for 3K. Perhaps I can ameliorate this marital misstep by showing her this... Greg Douglass PS-By the way, THE DEVIL COMMANDS one sheet was the very last poster I sold when i ran out of money in the mid 1980s. It was purchased for 100 bucksthat was a lot back then (I bought it for $5.00 in 1965 from Malcolm Willits in Hollywood.) I've waited 30 years to have it back on my wall.
