    Creepy Presents Bernie Wrightson (Creepy Archives) Hardcover - $50 (w/ free shipping!)

    All of horror legend Bernie Wrightson's Creepy and Eerie short stories, color illustrations, and frontispieces are finally collected in one deluxe hardcover! These classic tales from the 1970s and early 1980s include collaborations with fellow superstars and Warren Publishing alumni Bruce Jones, Carmine Infantino, Howard Chaykin, and others, as well as several adaptations and original stories written and drawn by Wrightson during one of the most fruitful periods of his career! All stories and images in this collection are restored with care and reprinted in the same oversized format as Dark Horse's award-winning Creepy Archives and Eerie Archives series.

    Book is like new with only the tiniest shelf wear (see pics). Not sure if I ever even read it. Will be shipped in a box, not an envelope.

  2. I bought She-Hulk #1 right off the comic rack when I was 12 because I was convinced any comic numbered #1 was going to be worth millions. But when Dazzler #1 came out I bought it and all the issues after (up until the fall of 1983 when I discovered AD&D and gave up comics for a long and storied career as a Dungeon Master) as I was convinced the X-Men connection was going to make them all hugely valuable.

    Unfortunately, after hanging onto them and thousands of other near mint Bronze Age books for 20+ years, I sold them all for a pittance on eBay in 2003 in a massive purge of my collection when I finally became sick of (newly single at the time) women coming back with me to my basement suite and wondering what was in all the white longboxes stacked along my bedroom wall.

    In hindsight I should have just rented a storage locker... :p

    I find myself absolutely agreeing with this actually. 

    The Mole Man would have to be altered or changed a bit to fit the larger scope of the Marvel Universe.  I am not talking about anything crazy but something along the lines of what they did with the Vulture.  Making Vulture getting his gear from reclaimed Chitauri tech was actually kind of brilliant. Maybe start the movie up with the FF already in space on a ship that encounters a problem.  

     

    Mole Man would be brilliant though.  Introduce the idea of subterranean monsters and you introduce another new realm to the Marvel Universe.   Save Dr Doom for the next big bad like they did with Thanos.  

    I love this synopsis for the plot from Fantastic Four #22. Villains' plans were far less complicated in the 1960s.

    The Return of the Mole Man!, -script by Stan Lee, pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by George Roussos [as G. Bell]; The Mole Man arranges for the neighbors of the Fantastic Four to complain about their activities so they will be interested when they receive an ad for an island that is for sale; When they visit the island, the Mole Man is waiting for them!

    Not sure why you would get the impression that a ton of copies means the book is no longer hot.  ???

    Isn't it an indication that the book is red hot and that all of the consignors are simply hoping that they can also snag a HG for their copy and have it sell in the tens of thousands of dollars?  :wishluck:  :flipbait:

    I figure they're all dumping their copies before GPA plummets, which would be fine with me because I really need a cheap 9.4 for my Galactus collection. I'm not so sure the consignors will be happy when they see all the company their copy has in the auction.

  5. If anyone is looking for a Fantastic Four #49, I noticed there are a whopping TEN graded copies going on the block in the upcoming Comiclink June Focused Auction! :ohnoez: 

    Does this mean that pesky planet-guzzler Galactus is no longer hot, hot, hot!?! Or does someone have some inside info on who the big baddie is going to be in the next FF flick (crossing my fingers for it to be Red Ghost and his Super-Apes). :wishluck:
