Looks like the type of artwork that would be on a pack of 70s/80s trading cards.

Why no Upc/corner box on x-men 214?
HarrisonJohn replied to BrooksR's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
When you see the empty UPC space on original cover artwork, is that already printed and the artist draws around it, or is it stuck on after? Sometimes the artists will draw in this space, and it makes the direct edition. Simonson's Thor from this time period has a few directs with no UPC box, as does his X-Factor. Looking at his original cover artwork it seems they rarely have the empty UPC space so maybe once and a while someone in the printing process saw the opportunity to print without it? Same with X-Men 214 -

Bronze Age Incredible Hulk
HarrisonJohn replied to universal soldier's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
I think Hulk said it a lot! It was one of the first things I learned to read and I would read it out loud all day and drive my family crazy. -
Bronze Age Incredible Hulk
HarrisonJohn replied to universal soldier's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Yeah it's not a treasury. This is the closest thing I could find to what I think it is similar to https://www.ebay.com/itm/353792850863 It even has the puny human line but it doesn't look familiar to me otherwise. -
Bronze Age Incredible Hulk
HarrisonJohn replied to universal soldier's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Does anyone know of any over-sized Hulk books from the mid 70s to very early 80s? I had one when I was a kid and I am trying to find what it was. All I remember is it was over-sized. I can't remember if it was a coloring book. I've searched Hulk coloring books and only see normal sized ones. Whatever it was, I think it told a story with captions at the bottom and I remember the line "Puny humans fear Hulk, hate Hulk". -

What is Wendigo hitting Hulk with? -
Was anyone here collecting Marvel in the 70's or 80's?
HarrisonJohn replied to KCode98's topic in Comics General
In the 80's I was lucky to have a comic store around the corner from my house. They were pretty good at changing out promo posters on the walls and throwing free promo stuff in your bag. I would buy Marvel Age to read about future books, so unless they were specifically keeping something secret, I knew what was coming most of the time. I don't remember any big surprises. -
I remember that Silver Surfer title being popular for about a year, can't remember why, Marvel may have been pushing it hard. This was not long after I first got into the X-titles and, pre cartoon, I noticed their popularity in the comic world did not translate into the outside world at all. I always wondered if they would have been selling less on the newsstand, presuming newsstands sold to a more general audience. Marvel Age published the top 10 direct sellers mid to late 80s, have been wanting to compile all that info if someone else hasn't already.

The Cable/ Hodge portion of the cover is lifted directly from the artwork inside the issue. I can only guess that the cover artist submitted the Jean/ Wolverine cover and someone thought it needed more.

It's the middle of Central Park, so variety.

Sometimes I wonder if people see his name "Stan Lee presents..." inside and think it means something.

When I was a kid buying comics in the early 80's pretty much every adult male in my life would tell me they had books that would be worth money now, so there was a sense that there was value and they shouldn't be thrown out, at last among dads that used to buy comics. By the early 90s I was a teen and my best friends mom was asking me if X-Force 1 was out yet.

Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay
HarrisonJohn replied to fastballspecial's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
Copies of X-Factor 4 moving on ebay today, someone somewhere speculating on 1st Frenzy. -
Circa mid to late 80s my LCS kept all their X-Men back issues (the entire box) behind the register, you had to ask to look through it. This sort of special treatment put me off checking out the book for a while.

List of Comic Books Seen in Movies and Television Shows
HarrisonJohn replied to Ditch Fahrenheit's topic in Comics General
If not already mentioned; 80's bike movie Rad. A scene in a store with a wall of comics. I could recognize Hulk 313 and X-Men 199, both 11/85 cover dates. -
Auctions that sell these (Hulk 181, NM 98 etc) without 'facsimile' in the title get bid up into the hundreds while the honest listings can be had for $10 BIN.
