PKD Collectionism

(well, it couldn't be collectivism....)

Friends and family have been urging me to admit to my PKD collectionism (okay, they've been teasing me about being In Denial about it). So, la, okay, I admit. Happy now?

This arrived a couple of days ago:



That's the souvenir photo "book" (magazine) that was put out to promote the Blade Runner film :).

And this arrived today:



That's the official Marvel comic of the Blade Runner film. For some reason, the seller on Amazon.com Marketplace (yes, I sinned; get over it!) couldn't/wouldn't ship to the UK, so this had to be sent first to my sister in California, then to me. A palaver.

And why didn't I get these things at the time? (1982). Well, I wasn't so deeply into PKD back then, plus these things weren't really available over here unless you frequented the comic and SFF shops, which I didn't, much, back then. S'why :).

I also have to look deeper into ways of getting my hands on this. I see a visit to local comic shops in my future!

Admission is the first step to recovery or, as I suspect in this case, complete abandonment to the ism.

Hopefully, you can get your next purchase without a lot of shipping and delay.

The ism has me by the throat :D.
