It has the largest bridge over the smallest body of water

Probably in the world

I stayed in Lethbridge for a week a few years ago and our hotel was right beside the bridge. It made for some spectacular scenery and photos (the one below is not mine) at sunset. And I did not see any comics there.

I forgot there was even a 1.8 grade.  When you think about it kind of a dumb grade…hmmm better than a 1.5 worse than a 2.0 it’s a 1.8  

I've been corrected on this before, but it is my firm belief that CGC reserves the 1.8 grade for books with a completely detached cover.

• Book #03 (Thing #15):  The most difficult book for the Board as a whole...It could be argued that the CGC grader was the party who whiffed on this one! 

 

I could argue that the CGC grader(s) whiffed on every book!

 Traveller...

All the species, all the tech, it was pretty cool.

 

I never got one of these 

 

We were huge fans of Steve Jackson's Car Wars and Champions (creating your character was the best part)!

Was at my storage unit in San Diego the other day and snapped this pic...some of my original RPGs that I played in the early-to-mid '80s!

No Boot Hill! You missed the best one!

Yes. Overall it is hard to find.

I did not realize there was that much demand for a 100-page bronze DC Romance comic. It does have a groovy back cover, though. 

Why is that DC 100 Pager in the top 25? Scarcity in high grade?

a popular opinion, but actually Baron Karza came out before Star Wars was released. The vague resemblance of Karza and Vader can likely attributed to "great minds think alike"

Some fans familiar with Karza only through the Marvel comic have assumed that his resemblance to Darth Vader was an attempt to cash in on the Star Wars phenomenon, but Karza predated Vader, and reportedly was inspired by a character in the Japanese anime Kotetsu jeeg (1975–1976). 

 

The villain in black armor is an archetype dating back at least as far as the Black Knight in Arthurian literature; the most important representation being, of course, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the Black Knight getting his legs and arms chopped off was obviously the inspiration for Darth Vader!

The one smoking the cigar maybe

Not sure if any Harvey comics have more than 50 copies on the census, especially the Bronze Age stuff. This comic has exactly two graded copies on the census, with mine being the highest.

The best and remaining "comic shop vibe" left in Manhattan at least is JHU Comics, formerly Jim Hanley's Universe- while I'm glad Forbidden Planet and Midtown apparently thrive, you're not going to find back issues and such there. At least there's a degree of that at JHU. I miss the days of when it was across from the Empire State Building and you'd find Golden Age Larry there. I dropped in a few months ago and guys were at the desk talking about Bill Mantlo's HULK run which warmed my heart considerably. The guy who owned St Marks Comics still does conventions; I see him set up at Big Apple every year.

When I visited New York five years ago I was on my way to the Strand Book Store when I stumbled across Forbidden Planet. No back issues but they did have some great discounts at the time on trade paperbacks. 

Now...only $40 + shipping!!!

Hi all

This is a re-post from a while ago. I will try one more time (this time) before packing up all my stuff for the move to Denmark!

I bought this some years ago from Heritage, who graded it 5.0. Seemed fair to me. I have not handled it since then, other than to take photos.

590€ (about 650USD) (+25 if you want an upgrade in shipping method). Shipped from Munich, Germany.

Payment by PayPal preferred, BTC or XMR works as well.

I really hope to not deal with refunds (shipping back and forth and borders are always a problem) but if you buy it and are horribly unhappy, do let me know.
