Marvel did this variation with the covers on thor 208-210, and I believe their other titles as well during that brief period:

Not really a "picture frame." Is there a name for this?

Seller is calling it picture frame.

Awesome books .

I had to have this when I first saw the cover.

Thanks.

Anyone here win the Gothic Tales of Love #2 on eBay yesterday. I put such a strong bid I felt like it was in the bag. I officialy hate the winner. Last one I needed for my set.

Do you have a link? Put in a search and nothing shows up.

This is almost complete.

Nice.

It means the buyer is

Got this in the mail today. Very tough book!

 

Australian Variant of DC 100 Super Spec 4

 

Rippa!

Didn't someone pay around $6000 for one of these a year or 2 ago?

Marvel Previews # 4

Do you have all the Kane Western covers now Barton? They are the only ones I have any interest in collecting, they just seem to stand out from the others.

I can't compete with the 3 comics above but here is a recent addition for my collection.

 

What a great cover.

Iron Fist's Star Responds To The Backlash About The Marvel Show

 

Marvel TV shows haven't shied away from hot button topics like race in the past, but the latest controversy may be among the most intense to date. The casting of Finn Jones as Danny Rand a.k.a Iron Fist in his upcoming Netflix series has generated some unfavorable comments, with many arguing that the role is tailor-made for an Asian actor -- a demographic which is already sorely underrepresented in Hollywood. Now it seems that Finn Jones has chimed in on the matter, and he wants fans to wait to see Iron Fist before they rush to criticize the casting choice.

 

"What I would say to that is, people should wait, and watch the show before they pass judgment... The comic books were written in the '70s. 1970s was a very different world to 2016, and we're going to reflect that. We have an incredibly diverse cast; incredibly talented. What I would say to that is, wait until you've seen the show, and then pass judgment, before you make comment, because people will be very, very, very pleasantly surprised with what we're doing in the show."

 

Why has no one simply said "The character in the comics is a white guy with no beard...not Asian". Seems like this is the most reasonable (and only) explanation.

Fixed that for you.

Nowhere near Bartons killer books, but I do have some.

Nice.

Lone highest graded. reprint with new cover for the first appearance of Iron Mask.

 

Great book, Wes!

I concur.

But just as fullfilling I bet.

Why is that? Smaller print runs? I love to pick up new kane cover ones in the best shape I can, but as you say, they are few and far between.

You probably know already, it was taken from Strange tales #99, you are right, the Kane version does look a lot like Colossus.

The dice came up good.

Great book Jeff.

Show the back copy. That one is awesome.

 

Once its in hand I will try and do that. I only paid $34 for this one which I thought was a steal.

It was.

That's a stunner.
