The C-Link 6.5 copy with CR-OW ended at $8k. Another 6.5 sold twice in January and March for $8,5k both times but it had OW pages. Looks like the book is very stable price-wise.

Complete at last

 

Every cover of Adventure Comics featuring the original GA Sandman

 

Awesome books! Well done

Love those classic Sandman covers

Beautiful

Quite cheesy, many scenes are unnecessarily aggressive and it doesn't all quite fit together. I'll give it another try, but am not convinced, yet.

It's Between Jake Gyllenhall, Armie Hammer and Daniel Cudmore

 

Armie Hammer

 

 

He has been selected for a CBM role (Batman as part of the ill-fated 'Justice League: Mortal' movie), and was considered for Ant-Man. And at 6'5" he definitely wouldn't be dwarfed by Dwayne Johnson.

 

Daniel Cudmore would be another good candidate.

Out of those I'd still go with this one

Whenever I think of Captain Marvel, I think about him smiling. For me, whoever plays him has to have a great smile. I think Jake Gyllenhaal has that, but isn't big enough (muscle wise).

 

He's an awesome actor, still young enough, good looking and can put on the muscle. Tom Hardy mutated to Bane, Cavill to Superman...the list is endless. Physique is the lesser problem. Finding good actors to play the right roles is much more difficult.

Why is it so much work for me???

I see you're having one of those 1000 ton weight problems. If I remember correctly, you have to deflate yourself with a pin... or a stick

Is it working, yet?

What about Jamie Dornan?

or Luke Evans?

or Jake Gyllenhaal?

The time for a has come

Finally one of the über-cool guys

Last 9.2 sold for $120k almost a year ago

 

Batman is trying to grab Wonder Woman's boobs.

Who wouldn't

How does a book with 2 missing wraps get a 4.0 in ComicConnects mind?

That's quite a stretch

 

Maybe it's the beautiful (putrid) condition of the back cover that makes up for the missing wraps.

 

I still can't get over the fact that ComicLink is calling this a 4.0 copy with 2 missing wraps, grime all over the back cover and a big hunk of the cover missing as well. Whatever they're smoking over there ar CC/Metro - I'm sure it's rolled in Benjamin's

 

Yeah, I was on vacay the day they were all posing for the cover. Such a shame

 

Sufferin' Sappho, the 1st all-girl cover in the series

 

(I think those cherubs are boys on #3)

Great Hera!, you are right!

However, those are baby satyrs on #3 and yes, satyrs are supposed to be veeeeeeeery virile

Thanks to last night. I'm back in the club. And anyone can say how bad the pq is and the holes but it was owned by the man. That's why the post robins did so well. It was last call and bidding got fierce.

Congrats, John!

Great to see you back after so long, file

I understand this is a file copy, but did Bob Kane owned a few Batman 1's. Is it that unique to command that kind of premium?

 

I think collectors knew that Bob's DNA was on the book.

Where's the CC Beck love?

 

 

So many different Captain Marvel likes - so little web space.

 

ADDED!

You might as well go original, if you're going that way. Here's my book to that archive image

This would make an awesome poster for an animated film

I am not a fan of the 52 version of Captain Marvel. Both, the suite and the story need adjustments.

I like that they tried to approach Captain Marvel in a new, potentially modern way, but because a look is old, doesn't mean it's not classic or modern. He looks really fat, his suite gadgets look unproportional and the huge lightning emblem on his chest looks like something from the 90's.

His portrayal in the Justice League War film was better looking and even Billy was a lot more likable than he currently is in the comics.

I would have preferred a carefully revised version of the original look, as they did with Superman and the others.

What's Shazam weakness?

 

As the Guardian of the Rock of Eternity, he is one with the Rock as it is a part of him. He channels the energies of the primal God-wave and the Greek Lords of Magic through the Rock of Eternity. As such, he is infused with the duty to keep the power and the magic of the earth realm in balance. As keeper of the Rock of Eternity, he also holds the dark forces at bay. Due to being bound to the Rock of Eternity, Shazam's spirit can leave the Rock of Eternity for short periods of time. It should be noted that Shazam gets weaker the longer he is away from it.

 

Pre-Crisis, he once claimed to get his powers from his magic mantle which protected him from evil harm and enabled other powers. When it was removed he lost his powers and became just an old man, although it does not appear to work for others, when Sivana put it on he was not protected from Captain Marvel as it only protects the wearer from evil harm. In other stories he is shown as being weaker, being captured even while wearing the mantle, and it is once shown that the brazier being lit will summon him even if he is not in Eternity. He also possessed a device with which he could observe the past, present and future, and can throw lightning bolts from the Rock, which transform the Marvels. In another story it is claimed Shazam's powers come from a Shazamium bracelet which enables him and anybody else wearing it to become ethereal and travel back and forth from the Rock of Eternity. If Shazam has it off for 24 hours he dies.

This is a little misleading. When we are talking about todays Shazam (especially in the New52 timeline), then this person is who we formerly knew as Captain Marvel. However, the parts posted above refer to Shazam, the wizard, not Shazam, Captain Marvel. As such we have a slight name problem with all the Shazams. I would imagine Freddy Freeman still turning into "Captain Marvel Jr", which of course would be a little weird, as there is no Captain Marvel (sr) to derive the name from. Maybe Freddy will also be called Shazam Jr (or King Shazam, as he himself suggested in the New52 timeline?)? Doesn't sound any good. It's a problem I'm not sure DC has solved, yet.

 

Is it me, or does it look like Ben look has gained a bit of chin-fat there?

 

 

Looks like a Clooney chin to me...

He just fat and lost some hair, too

Beautiful book

Where's the link?

Might as well bump this one too, since I'm so stoked about this book

 

What an utter beauty!!!

These books are just insanely cool! I love the old Action covers and I may have to start snagging some of them!

I have had these thoughts too.

Mike!

You also had the amazing books accompanying those thoughts
