Forrest J Ackerman is dead, alas

... But his estate sale is something else if you're a SF/pop-culture fan. How about an Alien egg, or Darth Maul's light sabre? Or a first edition Dracula, signed by the author and Bela Lugosi?

I honestly don't know that the hell this is, but maybe it'll go a little ways towards making up for me insulting the Adam West Batman.

  2. Back when Forry had to downsize the Ackermansion and sell off some of his stuff, someone in the entertainment industry with bags of money should have come in and paid to have it made into a real museum. Now what's left is going to be sold off piece by piece and end up in private collections where the rest of the world will never see it. I regret that I never made it down there to see when he was still alive.

  3. I know what you'll be most interested in, Eolake:

    Lot 825. Adam West's TV screen-used Batman tunic, tights, and briefs worn in BATMAN.

    All for a mere $15-20,000.

    Quite a steal, eh?
