Phicks

I never looked at the Journals until I saw this thread. Now that I have, I am confused as to how they differ from just starting a new thread on the chat boards?

*checks watch* Not quite Friday yet, mam.

Grant Morrison’s JLA run was too short for me. Jack Kirby’s Fourth World books.

I just got a comic from Patrick and highly recommend him. The book was as advertised, securely packaged, and quickly shipped.

This cover is one that has always bothered me, yet I have seen it reproduced on Marvel merchandise. The anatomy on Spider-Man breaks a fundamental rule: when a human is in motion, as a leg goes forward, the OPPOSITE arm also goes forward for balance. The next time you are at a nice soft beach, try to jump up like Spider-Man with the same leg and arm leading. See if you can even stick the landing.

Take, with shipping to Canada paid by me.

In X-Men 99, the new X-Men have their first battle with Sentinels (continuing the story from 98). The early Sentinel appearances were plagued by colouring problems, with the Sentinels coloured orange in one issue each of the Sentinel arcs in Stan and Jack’s first origin story, their appearance in Avengers #104, and yet again in X-Men 99. Only the Thomas and Adams arc was coloured correctly. Q: When X-Men 99 was reprinted in Classic X-Men 7, were the colouring errors corrected?

It sounds like you have a relatively small collection, with the items you mentioned worth over $1,000. I think it makes a lot of sense to at least list them here for whatever price you think is fair. You have very little to lose.

My wife has travelled widely in Canada, the US, and Europe for her job. Vegas is the ONLY city she has ever been to that she thought was awful.

I am currently working on ASM 30-40 in 8.0-9.0. Each issue costs a minimum of about $400, and then more if it’s a key like the first Rhino. Needless to say, progress is slow on these issues. Right up there with my quest for FF 40-50.

Back issues of Amazing Spider-Man, particularly in high grade, are the most liquid investment one can make in comics. When you want to sell, there is always a market.

Take

Take.

Take it please.

Robin Williams once said that having Canada immediately north of the US is like a nice apartment over a meth lab.

Take it please.

Take Psycho, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Here is Your War, and The Big Sleep if they are still available.

It’s always cool to hear other people’s collecting goals. I’m a completionist collector that keeps extending my consecutive issue runs for all the Marvel and DC comics from 1960-1980, in raw hi grade.

I could not sign in yesterday and sent CGC a Help message. Things seem to work OK today. Yesterday, I wanted to post my old 9.8 copy of ASM 129 for $49, but luckily I found a local buyer.

I recall reading that a Marvel colourist in the early Bronze Age decided to use a colour palette in one issue with lots of pastel shades of typically darker colours like blues and greens. Stan Lee glanced at it, said this looks like a DC horror comic, don’t ever do that again.

Kinda looks like Paul McCartney in a bleach blond wig!
