Very impressive shot! Congratulations on finishing the run.

Centering doesn't appear to matter much CGC, but I absolutely take centering/miswrap into consideration when purchasing a book. It's part of the overall presentation and eye appeal of the book.

Not exactly what I would call white pages.

Oops. Missed its not part of the 10%. Take it at $125.00 lol.

Take it at 10% off.

I think the like buttons have taken the place of conversation on the board. Instead of posting a written reply that may lead to more conversation, people just click the like button on a post and threads dwindle out.

Stunning books. Thank you for sharing!

I would think if someone used a straight edge and a pen to outline the letters there would be heavier deposits of ink and subsequently more bleed through at points where the lines intersect, such as corners. I also don't see much bleed through on the rounded sections of the letter "P" in Planet. Those rounder portions would almost certainly have to be done by hand without a guide and I would think would show more inconsistencies, such as heavier ink deposits from the hesitations of the hand drawing around the curved surface. Just my

I remember enjoying Nick Fury vs Shield back when it came out. I need to re-read to see how it held up.

You are absolutely correct. You said entertaining and fun to read. My using laugh was my attempt to simplify. I'm so sorry. I was so incredibly far off base. I feel ashamed now.

I was just thinking something similar about people who compare literature that doesn't give them a laugh to a physics text book.

Does it need to?

I'm not sure I would qualify a text book as literature, but ok. Does it fail because you are not entertained, or because it's not immediately profitable? It's a very well written book. It's about life and death in the gulags of the Soviet Union under Stalin. So not a light and fun topic.

Um. Have you ever read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich? That is not a fun read or entertaining by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a powerful book. It wasn't published because it was fun, it wasn't published because it was entertaining, it was published because it was important.

I haven't read a modern comic book in 15 years, so I have no idea who you are talking about. Give me a little leeway with this, but where exactly is it supposed to go? Someones sexuality doesn't have to be a plot point.

Maybe a little narrow minded there. Some of the greatest works of fiction in literature have been intended to bring about societal change.

If all of the "pandering" stories are flops with no upside, they why do publishers keep doing it? If they don't make money on it, if it does not bring in new readers and it pisses fans off and they still do it, maybe they do it because they feel that having more minority, women and LGBTQ characters in comics is a better representation of our overall society and just the right thing to do.

What do you mean by flops?

Well, welcome to the board! This is the best post in this entire thread. Thank you.

I love that book. Transformers #1 was the very first back issue I bought. I was shocked such a thing as back issues even existed when I first walked into a comic shop in third grade. I still have that first copy.

Nice score. I never find any golden age at my LCS's with the exception of an occasional Dell.

Same. I thought it was just kind of, meh.

Nice work!

I was born in Merced. Now I have made it to the great metropolis of Fresno. yay me.

Now that is an old school reference.
