i had oatmeal for breakfast.

 

Feel like..... SECONDS?

 

mmmmmm... flakey

wasn't his face always oatmeal? If I remember correctly he had radiation cancer or something until he got his healing ability.

 

 

And which retcon was this in?

 

Seriously, in New Mutants he was initially just a throw-away assassin for hire that had some cool moves and a nifty costume.

 

Readers liked him, and then came the healing powers, the lame origin and the oatmeal face.

from his item description:

 

"NEW MUTANTS #98 CGC 9.6 FEATURING 1st DEADPOOL and very likely the biggest comic ever since WOLVERINE #1 in 1984 . Every twenty years something big comes around and this is it."

 

wolverine #1 ?

 

i often think of it as "wolverine, numero uno" but that's me. and he said it, i didn't. i'm just reporting it.

do agree with it though?

 

don't get me wrong, i think deadpool is cool. i remember thinking that when i read new mutants 98 when it came out. but as important as wolverine? no way. i'd have a hard time saying that deadpool is "important" in the scope of comicdom. cool? sure. important? no.

 

I still think Deadpool is a great character, because as a mercenary he doesn't have do conform to the "superhero" standards. While I don't feel that New Mutants 98 is a top key issue, neither do I feel Wolverine #1 is a top key issue.

i agree with you on deadpool. wolverine #1 is a big deal just because he's so popular. people love that canuck. and they figure they can't afford a hulk 181, don't want a hulk 180 or can't afford a gs xmen or xmen 94 so the next best thing is wolvie #1. and it's miller cover art, too which doesn't hurt. miller... liefeld... miller... liefeld. yeah, i think i'd take miller myself.

This showed up in the mail today:

 

 

Nothing like kids with machine guns!

Very pleased with the copy considering how inexpensive it was. I'm getting dangerously close to completing my "pre-crime" run of Headline Comics (though I know #8's gonna hurt).

at least they're killing nazi's

does this count as horror since the Phantom Stranger's in it??? i sure hope so...

OK, this bird crapped out a baby? I'd hate to be that kid...

Posted this in the regular have a cigar but wanted to get it in here too... not sure if it's been posted here before.

Don't know if this one's been up yet (with so many pages) but I just picked it up the other day and am pretty happy with it...

OK, to conserve bandwidth and be mindful of those not with fast internet access, I'm providing the links for some books that came back

 

nice books... i like how you post the small pics of the books as links. whenever i post pics, they come out huge.

Thanks... I knew about the "comics cause deliquency" issue in the 50's but didn't know the specifics.

i love that bailey cover on the weird mysteries, its a soti book too, isn't it? What issue did you have previously? They are all great books, but i really like that crime book. Nice, clean, green cover, its a cool book!

 

Yeah, the WM is a SOTI. This is the WM I already have but I think am gonna keep it!

 

SOTI is what?

My LCS has some books like this but they too are "cut-off" on top where the DC and price circles are missing part of the top and/or sides. How much does this affect the rating of the book. Is is personal choice or do serious comic-collectors and CGC actually take this into account when deciding on a grade for a comic?

Any opinions would be appreciated...

in overstreet, the guide price only goes up to VF. does this have a shot at going past that? fantastic book.

they probably are because i had a dc special that said 52 pages in overstreet but the cover said 48 pages. i had posted a questions in the bronze section and most people who responded said that overstreet counts the covers. nice book, though.

its a no #, 1944 R.W. Voigt publishing. The Opener of the book & the superhero story has a GREAT skeleton splash. Its such a weird mix on genres. I at first thought it was a remainders book, but since ALL YOURS COMICS is printed at the top of each page I guess it was meant to be this odd. Funny animal, superhero, crime, boxing, newspaper style strips, it just too strange! Almost everything is a direct rip off of something existing already like TRANSOM is really Tracey!!!!

 

that's odd because overstreet lists an "all your comics" from '46 that has a red robbins and merciless the sorceress appearance. i see that merciless is listed on the cover but red robbins is not unless they guy (superman look-alike) is supposed to be red robbins. wierd wild stuff.

wait, there it is under Fox Giants from '44. with the puppeteer, red robbins and merciless the sorcerer appearance.
