DON DUGA



Just heard from Don Duga :) a group of Animation and Design students form the Maine college of Art would like to meet up with Don for a talk in early March! Sounds like Don is up to the challenge. Don has taught at the school of visual arts for many years and has had his hand in many animation projects over the years. You can buy some of his original art at www.thedeeparchives.com

THE MONKEES

My friend Jim Engel sent over this very cool MONKEE cover! Peter Tork just turned 69 the other day!
I listed a second set I had, of season one on AMAZON, for about half of what it is going for now...which is astronomical! It has one replacement disc and the box is a little torn and repaired with tape.

GERRY ANDERSON'S CAPTAIN SCARLET & THE MYSTERONS




Some years back I assisted CARLTON VIDEO in the UK with some licensing. At the time they were putting out all the GERRY ANDERSON series. They sent me this box set, which is more elaborate than the US release (Which I also have). The discs are region 0 and will play on some US DVD players and all of the international players. What I really like are the ice cream commercials and the merchandise galleries! I am taking offers on this set.. Rickgoldsc@aol..com
