    How did "Burn in Hell" get past the Comics Code Authority? I wouldn't expect to see that on a main stream DC title during that period.

     

    it was 1977, they stopped caring by then, Green Lantern 85 had Speedy shooting up in 1971

    I have no recollection of this!! :sumo:

    Here you go. GL85Link

    O, that Speedy. :)

     

    [font:Book Antiqua]I wonder if he moves with the times

    and doing E and Bath Salts now...?[/font]

     

    hm

    Nah... he's old school.

    No one has contacted me about taking subs yet, but I am confident that someone will step up!

     

    EDIT: CGC will be there, so if you can get someone to take your books and sub them with CGC they can get done that way.

     

    I'm sure someone will be doing subs, though.

     

    Thanks! I'll keep looking around. I'm sure you'll post here if/when someone does. I'll keep checking back.

    Someone will probably announce it by the end of January. I'm sure everyone's pretty tired out after this con season and wants to take a breather before even thinking about next year's schedule. I'm planning on subing books for ECCC too but I'm probably looking at closer to 20.

    Could there be a Russian Spawn? Or a Marvel series with Spidey keys? The neat thing about these is... they are comics! Not trades.... gives us hope theres more out there....

    I'm from Russia, and I can assure you that russian version of Spawn doesn't exist in print. Spider-Man is published here, but only the Ultimate one. No ASM keys or something like that.

    You sir are going to be bombarded with PM questions. lol

    Why is it that "variant" has to get attached to everything? I didn't see a single variant in the images. Surely you are not implying that all of the foreign language book were printed at the same printer as a part of the same print run? If you are not they are not variants. I know "edition" isn't cool or anything like that and it doesn't bring dollar signs to the the eyes, but that is what these books really are they are foreign language editions of American books.

     

    Can we please get rules for what is and isn't a variant ... or better yet just admit that every damn book is a variant? Or are you going to tell me now that all books are identical.

     

    Other than that it was a neat article.

    In no particular order:

     

    1) If you look through this thread you'll see that dollar signs are and what books can be resold for is one of the furthest things on the mind of anyone who regularly posts in it.

     

    2) Variant, variation, edition all mean the same thing. The choice of words is semantic.

     

    3) As stated some of these were printed at the same time as the originals (like pence copies) or at a later date ranging anywhere from weeks to years. Either way they're all different versions of US books.

     

    4) If you didn't see a variant, clearly you didn't look closely at the Superamigos with the altered Adams art. Not only was the artwork changed but the book was printed in a digest size format. If that doesn't constitute a variant I don't know what does.

    Polvora grande'. hm

     

     

    Muy grande! Puro sólido! lol

     

    "Polvora" (Gun Powder) was a sub-series for The Rifleman under the umbrella of the Aventura comic that encompassed Western stories of Bonanza, Maverick, Rex Allen, Cheyene, Sergeant Preston, Maverick, Colt .45, Gun for hire, and others like that.

    While this is interesting and informative it is far less entertaining than your usual posts. 2c

    Agreed. Get me one of them NM 129s :baiting:

    Unfortunatly, it's not NM. There a very tiny tears (1-2mm) under Punisher foot and a hairline crease at upper front cover. But it's the best copy I ever saw

     

    I thought mine was a solid 7, it came back 6.5, I should have pressed it hu... lol lol lol ..... is there even one graded over 8??

     

    I think mine have a chance for 8.0, but I will never get it slabbed or pressed

    I'm with you on this. Well... partially. I do sub foreign books for SS but pressing holds no interest for me not even when I was still buying US editions.
