Comic books in 'Comics Hobby'

1st printing. By Robert L. Bryant, Jr. Title page illustration by Michael Netzer. Vince Colletta is perhaps the most prolific comic book inker ever, and certainly the most controversial. He jumped in at the last minute to rescue hundreds of comic books about to miss their printing deadline, often racing through the work of artists who fans say he should have worshiped. Join Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Mark Evanier, and dozens of other comics pros as they recall the Vince Colletta they knew and worked with, and pull no punches in their praise and criticism of the most notorious inker in the history of the medium. Also featuring recollections from Joe Sinnott, Mike Royer, Carmine Infantino, John Romita, Sr., Erik Larsen, Joe Staton, Dick Ayers, Herb Trimpe, Tony Isabella, Jim Salicrup, Alan Kupperberg, Franklin Colletta, Lada St. Edmund and Arlen Schumer. Softcover, 112 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.

1st Printing - Throwing Stones was released as both an RPG and a "board" game. The book was only essential for the RPG - each dice tube came with a sheet of paper detailing arena combat. Each character has four dice that define him. Four dice of the same type can be used, but that limits the player's abilities. The dice were collectible: there were quite a few different types made, some more powerful than others. All dice are six-sided and have special glyphs on them. Some of the glyphs include: Unarmed combat, various magic spells, knockdown, bypass armor, poison, luck (reroll some dice!), roll with the blow, strike again, counterstrike, disarm, berserk, centered, zealous, sword, stun, skill+, and many others. All are described in detail in the 96-page book. Softcover, 8.5" x 10.5", 96 pages, B&W.
