Stryfe1000

I used the same username and e-mail address for both old accounts. All of my old pm's are gone. 

Also, my username has beenchanged from Stryfe1000 to Stryfe10001 - is this the issue???

There is a monthly comic mart held near Russell Square which is pretty decent

 

London Comic Mart

With 130 tables, will there be some original comic art for sale?

 

......130 tables! more like 13.

 

Does this mean 13 tables of back issue comics, and the rest are overstocked newer graphic novels, Pop toys, tattoos, swords, Pokemon cards, used DVDs, vinyl records? First time in London, UK.

 

.....about 1/2 dozen tables with decent back issues, although there doesn't seem to be much new stock and the con seems to have stagnated over the last year or so. I still go and am hoping it improves. London is well worth a visit at any time of the year!

I only go once or twice per year so always manage to pick up a few books. I tend to hold my cash for an annual binge at LSCC

30th Century Comics are pretty good.

Orbital Comics is ok

Forbidden Planet is huge but should be avoided at all costs

London Comic Mart

You could always contact Nick (Flaming_Telepath) who runs Comicana Direct from Kings Langley. He doesn't gave a store as such but occasionally allows customers to visit his office to look at his stock. It's only a short train journey out of London.

Something new I got in the mail

perfect except for 1 tiny spine tick so hoping with a press 9.4 or better

Very happy with the fellows at 30th Century Comics

Pence copy

I really need to make a trip to 30th Century. Intended to go last weekend but ended up staying the whole weekend at Star Wars Celebration instead.

What do you think will be the next Dell Otto to explode in price?

My guess would be the pink Bulletproof Harley variant. 800 (Undamaged) copies. Popular character. Movie incoming.

That's nice. I don't think his Red Sonja run is that well known.

Red Sonja Vs. Thulsa Doom #3 "Dell'otto Virgin Variant"

And I'm quite happy for everybody else to carry on oblivious of their existence.

Move along people, nothing to see here.....

I've just had this arrive direct from Dell Otto himself

It appears that Facebook is actually useful for something after all

Part of the library:

 

SWEET MOTHER OF PEARL

One of my favourite FF covers (Mainly due to Jean being in the centre) I particularly love Shulky's attempt to make a Phoenix shadow puppet with her hands.

That MF5 is absolutely beautiful.

Rubbish story, amazing art

That is the plan.

Thorne could be a bit tricky. At 85, there is little chance he'll be visiting the UK.

The book has really glossy pages which don't take ink too great. Chaykin signed at 8am and his sig was still not fully dry at 16:30 whilst I was queuing for Cho. End up taking it to the rest rooms and holding it under a hand dryer to speed it along.

Certainly

Chaykin

Cho

The Paul Renaud covers to the first Dynamite series are amazing. When I spotted the sketch variant for only £5 ($7.50), I couldn't believe my luck. Very light blunting at bottom corner. Looks beautiful.

Still not a patch on the Frank Thorne stuff though.

Also got my Art of Red Sonja HC signed by Chaykin and Cho at the con. A really good weekend.

LSCC was good to me.

And a few moderns

Not a bad weekend. Particularly happy with the Red Sonja 1

Wow

Get them graded??

At some point, I probably will. For now though, I'm just going to enjoy them in all the sweet rawness.

I'm slowly putting together a raw set of the Marvel series and Marvel Feature books in VFN+ or better, including all pence copies. Unfortunately, the Pence books are really hard to find above mid grade.

These just arrived in the post today.

Sweet UK price awesomeness

Not bad for a book listed as VF/NM by a reputable dealer.

 

X-Men 101

Great looking book Joey

Not a comic book, but definitely worth a few dancing bananas. :banana: :banana: :banana:

 

 

 

 

Amazing

Some recent ebay purchases. Much closer to finishing up my set! Now if someone would just cough up one of the 2 9.8 graded copies of #2, I could be done!

 

Fantastic books

Not many of those beauties come up for sale often. Congrats on getting these books.

I never realised that Thor lived at the Houses of Parliament

Nice pick up.

I used to love my copy...

...until Brian Bolland forgot how to spell his own name

(apologies for the poor scan)
