Holy Gasbags!

[ Listening to Social Distortion Currently: Listening to Social Distortion ]
Among ape collectors, Gil Brewer’s "Gorilla of the Gasbags" is a Holy Grail of sorts. The legendary cover of the June 1929 Zeppelin Stories tantalizes with a gorilla and a man fighting from the ladder beneath a flying dirigible! I’ve longed to read the story, but not only have I never actually seen one, I know of no one who has read the story.

Shockingly, a copy of the much sought after pulp recently sold on ebay for the astronomical sum of $3,183.33! Oh, to find one at a garage sale someday!

Remember that my 40th birthday is rapidly approaching. Just an observation.
