  1. Just got my copy of Dave Stevens: Complete Sketches & Studies. The more Dave Stevens art I see, the more I realize what an artistic genius he was and how much we are missing with him gone. There is an incredible Detective Comics cover (commission?) with Batman carrying the Catwoman. Absolutely unreal stuff...here are some that I hadn't seen before and that I do not believe have been posted in this thread... CANCER SUCKS!!!
  2. How does that work, does it accept Nintindo games or something? You actually purchase an interface called an iPac. The games are loaded on to a PC. The PC's keyboard actually plugs in to the iPac and the game's buttons are wired in to the other end of the iPac. When you press the buttons and use the joysticks the iPac translates these presses in to keyboard strokes. I bought a dead arcade cabinet for about $10, gutted it, bondo, sanded, painted, new T-molding, caster wheels, sanded and painted the coin door, installed collapsable drink holders on side, etc. Mounted the PC speakers with accessible volume control. Put together a custom marquee with backlighting. The overlay on the control panel is a checker pattern of Captain America Comics #1-50. Mine was setup with the standard Street Fighter 6-button setup so that I could play pretty much any game. Some people go crazy with these things setting up rotating panels with different kinds of controls on each side (joystick/buttons, roller ball, steering wheels, etc.) Had ALOT of fun with this cabinet. Sold it a while back but will be building another in a few years when my oldest can appreciate it.
  3. Just get a MAME machine...then you can play pretty much any arcade game imaginable...
  4. And that ASM pinball machine is freaking awesome! Makes me want to make another Captain Americade M.A.M.E. machine!!
  5. Thanks!!! Steelers fan by proximity only. Just moved to Pitt from Houston...I'm a Texans fan. And yes, the Eagle is a great reminder of Pops. Thanks for the kind words.
  6. Not sure what message my wife is trying to send me...she bought me the most comfortable rug on the entire planet for the man cave! Is she trying to get me to move in? The Eagle is from my Dad...who passed away 5 months ago. My new Yoda clock that I got for Christmas from my 2.5 and 4 year old...they picked it out. LOVE IT. Also got my Star Wars #42 sig series Jeremy Bulloch in and it's now being proudly displayed in the man cave!
  7. Sweet! I have two at CGC right now!!
  8. Planet Comics #1 variant cover....I wish too
  9. Well, according to GPA it's a solid $40-$50 book in 9.8...
  10. Thanks! Now I just need a B&W Darker Image #1 SS Sam Kieth to go along with those...It was the 1st appearance of The Maxx after all (thumbs u
  11. I think that's X-Force #2...but I get your point. (thumbs u I can't resist some of that early/mid-90's drek sometimes too...
  12. Just wanted to dig this one up to see if anyone knew if, and if so, where this was published?? Vic Catan, Philippino artist, art signed 1979
  13. Just finished the last of the 3 Hunger Games books...GREAT SERIES!!! Can't wait for the movies!
  14. Good luck with that. That definitely falls under Frequently Ignored Questions. From Sam Kieth's blog Just for fun here's some layouts from the first Darker Image story Maxx first appeared in. Gemma has submitted the recommendation to the graders for consideration. Can't get more accurate than the creator clearing things up after all these years. And even better, from his own website.
  15. I really like that frame. Holy moly that's sweet! Thanks! I can't say I'm surprised YOU like it...
