90’s comic book parodying the life and trials of Tonya Harding.
Tonya Maxene Price (née Harding; born November 12, 1970) is an American former figure skater, retired boxer, and reality television personality.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Harding was raised by her mother, who enrolled her in ice skating lessons at 3 years old. Harding spent much of her early life training, eventually dropping out of high school to devote her time to the sport. After climbing the ranks in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships between 1986 and 1989, Harding won the 1989 Skate America competition. She was the 1991 and 1994 U.S. champion, and 1991 World silver medalist. In 1991, she became the first American woman and the second woman in history (after Midori Ito) to successfully land a triple Axel in an international competition. Harding is a two-time Olympian and a two-time Skate America Champion.
In January 1994, Harding became embroiled in controversy when her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, orchestrated an attack on her fellow U.S. skating rival Nancy Kerrigan. On March 16, 1994, Harding accepted a plea bargain in which she pled guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution. As a result of her involvement in the aftermath of the assault, the United States Figure Skating Association banned her for life on June 30, 1994; she was stripped of her 1994 title.

The Turpin case involved the abuse of children and dependent adults by their parents, David and Louise Turpin of Perris, California, U.S. The ages of the 13 victims ranged from 2 to 29 years-old. On January 14, 2018, one of the daughters, then-17-year-old Jordan Turpin, escaped and called local police, who then raided the residence and discovered disturbing evidence. Given the number of dependents involved, the degree of abuse, and the protracted nature occurring over decades, the story garnered significant national and international news. Experts in family abuse considered the case to be extraordinary for many reasons.
In February 2019, both Turpin parents pleaded guilty on 14 felony counts, including abuse of a dependent adult, child abuse, torture, and false imprisonment. In April, they were sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

America may have had its fill of psychos for the last forty years, but no serial killer has inspired so many books and films (Pyscho, The Silence of the Lambs, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) as Wisconsin's cannibalistic handyman murderer, Ed Gein. None of them has been used as the ultimate ogre in countless children's stories and off-color jokes, and none of them has been found guilty of as many unspeakable atrocities as Ed Gein.
Ed Gein--Psycho! is his story. This is his legend.

One of the biggest mysteries of Pike Place market is the ‘Heaven’s Gate’ tile. During a few fundraising efforts throughout the years, starting in 1985, the public has been given the chance to purchase an engraved tile with their name or a message. Sitting close to an engagement proposal is the mysterious Heaven’s Gate tile, dated 6 - 8- 85.
For years this tile has been a mystery to tourists. Of course the most famous group with this name was the infamous Heaven’s Gate cult, whom do have some connections in their past to Seattle. People have put these pieces together, while missing a vital piece of information. Heaven’s Gate didn’t adopt this name until the late 90’s. The Class, The Two, The UFO Two, and a few other titles had been floating around but the infamous moniker was not considered or used in 1985.
The year is notable to the group as dating the passing of co-founder Bonnie Lou Nettles, however 6 - 19 rather than 6 - 8 was the month and date. Furthermore this death did not mean the end of the class and dedicating a tile her under this name would have been unusual. If you are familiar with their beliefs you may also realize that someone passing away was not considered an actual death, but rather this person exiting their ‘vehicle’ in order to enter ‘The Evolutionary Level Above Human.’
So what does this all tell us? Not much! The tile is probably not related to Heaven’s Gate in any way, however the true donator has not been identified after all these years.
As a final note, we have collected a small handful of rubbings of this tile - and have them available for purchase. Just know they are commemorating a mysterious group, not the cult itself.
(Please note, this listing is for one rubbing, and there may be slight variances in which rubbing you receive)
