Really shocked at this. Delighted but shocked. I wonder how involved Christopher Tolkien is with these negotiations? Who is representing the Tolkien estate?

That and Savage Sword were the last comic books I read on a regular basis. By fourteen I had bailed on super hero comics but Savage Sword and Heavy Metal would hold my interest for several more years. 

This has 'Steven Seagal comeback vehicle' written all over it.

Always loved this title but in a bittersweet way. Another example of Marvel trying to literally crowd Warren Magazine out of shelf space. They killed Skywald with this same effort (Curtis Monster Mags). Just a literal flood of titles whose main purpose was to deny shelf-space to Warren mags.

I personally consider Vampi #1 to be the Action 1 of horror mags.

I'd agree with that.

Eerie ashcan is just too one-off for me to consider.

Same with Vampirella HC. Great books both but too much of a special case.

It should never have been a movie, or even a series of movies. Game of thrones treatment was the only way to do this right.

Heads up mag fiends. Watched this on Amazon last night.

Lots of love for these books.

It seems harder to find in 9.0 or better and commands some respectable prices accordingly.  I know what you mean, though, I started putting together a high grade Warren collection of Warrens 25 years ago and quit because they weren't that challenging or hard to find.  Now, it's a different story!

Nice, I checked the prices and I am pleasantly surprised.  I always loved that book for the cover alone. 

Is the Spacemen 1965 Yearbook really scarce? It wasn't about 20 years ago. Those things were everywhere, in high grade, and dirt cheap.

BTW: found this on the internet archive while googling for this topic... https://archive.org/details/Spacemen_1965_Yearbook

I think Marvel Preview 4 and 7 have finally hit that level in the stratosphere where we can consider it a key now.  The characters are here to stay.  

 

Agreed

Thanks, glad to do it.

Thanks for bringing this back. FYI, the second page of Chapter 6 is upside down

Thanks for the heads-up. Fixed.

I don't buy much of anything (comics or mags) anymore. My last mag purchases were around 2014. I need to rescan everything for insurance purposes. When I do I will try to whip up mega-image #2.

I've never patched the blazing combat #1 hole but I the urge to do that has gone. I'm pretty well content with my collection.

For a long time I maintained a post cataloging all panels from Epic Illustrated comprising the Last Galactus Story.

I failed on my watch for the last several years as the storage provider those images were hosted on went defunct.

I shall address that now.

The movie should generate beautiful gif sets for decades to come.

+1

Love me some Frazetta Creepy, very undervalued imho.

I hope your opinion catches on.

An old thread with a link to an even older thread

Last post in that thread sums it up

The only copies I have great confidence in identifying are the bad counterfeits

Seems it might be a good time to get into Undergrounds if you've got money. There seems to be an abnormally large amount of sellers lately on eBay with rare, hard to find comix listed. Anyone else notice this?

 

Old hippies cashing out for their retirement?

Better printing techniques?

I picked up an early Heavy Metal (#5) at my LCS which had a Den story but no Arzach, unfortunately - is Heavy Metal a title that is collected at all?

Barely.

Which is great as the issues are quite affordable.

As far as I can tell Heavy Metal is an after thought to most magazine collectors and it seems that most people who would purchase back issues for nostalgic reasons more often than not buy/download digital collections.

Awesome, Cirque du soleil meets Star Trek.

Dude, paint my van.

How much is practically nothing and how difficult are these to acquire? Smurfs comics have been a lifelong love of mine. One of my first comics was King Smurf and I currently follow the Smurfs Anthology comics.

When I purchased them I don't recall the exact price other than the international shipping was the largest part of the transaction. Not more than $10 for the book.

As far as difficulty: I thought they would be hard to track down but it only took a few minutes and I had located them on Amazon France. I cant make any estimation on whether I was a victim of dumb luck or if these books show up commonly.
