Because YOU Wouldn't Want To Be Their 'Pet' Would YOU?

We listed one of these this weekend, blogged about last night, and it sold overnight!

So, I went thru our backstock and found one more for you Parakeet Lovers!

It is the last issue of the series that DC Comics published!

Issue #1 of this series started  August / September of 1950  and this final issue was the September / October 1973 issues.

Since we are the proud owners of the smartest parakeet I've ever had, this comic book cover is hilarious to us!!

Tina can't stop laughing whenever she see it in back issues bins, and usually a copy or two ends up in our 'buy' stack. Funny thing is, we've sold multiple copies of this comic to parakeet lovers over the years!!

Just click on the comic book cover to the top left for this issue and other Sci-Fi Comics we have for sale!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and feel free to comment below !

Many many years ago, my son worked in a pet store where they had a big parrot at the from door, not in a cage, but on a 'T' like perch, and when customers would walk in he would swing and hang upside down on it and spread his wings wide and ...SCREAM...

HELP ME!!! HELP ME!!!! HELP ME!!!! HELP ME!!!!

Hee hee,

lot's of folks would panic, it was soooo cute.

I had a parakeet once. Silly thing never said a word no matter how much I tried...until the day I sold it. It went out the door saying pretty bird and whistling over and over. It is a very interesting comic cover.

mario6758: We used to live up the hill on the left side going south, where we could see the July 4th Del Mar Fairgrounds fireworks....

The whole area is getting built up, except for the lagoon area around the racetrack.

donnab19520: I'm thinking of the original version with David Hedison, when he had a different name as an actor.... The remake of the original movie was creepy, I agree!!

mario6758: Re SD Comic Con.... before we got married, Tina thought the Con was only for comic book geeks.... boy was she surprised when she first went!!

Immediately wanted to buy half price 4 day tickets for the NEXT year!!

The SDCC is the best I've been to, convention wise... but I haven't been to all of them yet!
