Blurble, I'm not completely sure.. it only says made in china, maybe imperial?

Bryce_R. Thank you! I was thinking about trading them but i'm starting to fall in love with them. dunno yet!

also just got this little guy in the mail today! garage sales were a total bust due to crappy weather. ;/

I've been enjoying this book lately, thanks to the suggestion from Adam (thanks again for turning me on to it ). So much material inside (makes me wish I could blow up all the pics to really indulge in the fantastic art). I would definitely recommend it to Mazinger fans; it seems heavily weighted to that and KR. Adam's already done a great job catching its inner beauty: more pics available here thanks to his generous sharing.

This was my weekend bargain find. A translated copy of Struwwelpeter. Ah, for a traumatized youth! For anyone that hasn't been exposed to them, German children's tales are not quite what you get here in the west. Let's just say that when you hear stories like these, your fear helps you to learn the lessons, not saccharine princesses and cutesy animals. [Those real Grimm tales are dark as F] Embiggen for more horror.

Yes, those images are depicting the frightful scenes as they appear to be. These are just some examples of what happens to bad little boys and girls. I apologise in advance for the nightmares.

^ what the crap?! so intense.

nice find steve

I remember seeing a play in college called Shock-Headed Peter using giant puppets and animatronics that was based off this. It was creepy as all hell.

i was raised in a german household.. i remember these very well!

Yeah, basically Struwwelpeter and German "fairy tales" are pretty horrific. Bottom line is; kid, keep your shit together or you're gonna get seriously fucked up. Germans don't do humor

are you kidding? setting little girls on fire is hilarious.

the scissor man only cuts off your thumbs? I always thought he went straight for the genitals.

I had this as a kid too and loved it (I still can recite some of the verses).
Looking back, it might explain a lot . . . gonna ask my parents what they were thinking.

I do not think these lack humor . . . it is just Nightmare on Elmstreet humor. For toddlers.

Haha . . . . I recently found a copy too (at a boot-sale for 50p). Mine looks a bit more tatty than yours though.

I had it when i was a kid and i loved the weirdness!

Fuck you haters

Have to give thanks to Chad for trying to help me out with his contact as well. Though I was able to find this somewhere else, he gave me a very solid contact in NoLa that was very friendly and helpful.

love that you opened the post with a fuck you to the haters! Not a fan of Rush but enjoy nonetheless.

and i picked up the yellow/orange Gigan!
i wonder what other color combos there are...

Very nice finds, that Red King is great! He looks like some kind of luchadore in a Red King outfit; I love it.

thanks what's more is that his road is Godzillas, he's very confused.

He's harnessing his Ultimate Warrior within. No question.

Goon #4! getting closer..

mailtime!

^^^^
whoah!

Just got a killer new Black Flag book "Barred for Life" in the post. Some great interviews and tattoos. Better than a Rush boxset.
