When I checked a quick list of animated shows and movies, it would be so massive it wouldn't fit on one page. So I kept it to LIVE only. But I like the idea of movies and TV shows inspired by comic books like Dark City and Darkman. I'll update this list later today with all the fantastic suggestions. Add this one as well, Bosco. And if anyone hasn't seen it, they should do so immediately! It's excellent!

So are we now saying that CGC doesn't make mistakes? I agree that 4 will be considered his first but so should The Annual and possibly the What if Now that I went back and read what was in Annual #1, I have to disagree. Wolverine had no idea who Omega Red was until X-Men #4, when he picked up his scent and realized it was Arkady Rossovich, someone he knew from this past. So in Annual #1 where he now discusses Omega Red, this would have to be after-the-fact because beforehand he didn't even know the character. See what I mean? Hopefully this made sense. From a timing perspective, it would be odd for Wolverine to brief someone on Omega Red in a 1st appearance when he doesn't even know who the character is until X-Men #4. Now if this was the Gambit situation where the books were published out-of-synch, that would be a different story. In this case I don't think the plot points matter, they were released at the same time. Does anyone really know if they were actually released at the same time? Given the fact that comic books are shipped to comic shops on a weekly basis, isn't it possible that X-Men #4 was actually released 1-2 weeks before the Annual?

Agreed 100%! The storyline with Despero was simply amazing and a nice change of pace from the usual stories of the title. Giffen and DeMatteis proved they could do "serious" stories on a very high level (not that there was anything wrong with the bwa-ha-ha stories in the previous issues, which were marvelous as well).

I can't make sense out of this. And I've read it twice What the hell is happening on these boards? Every day is like Friday, lately!

It's about a million times better than any superhero work he's done. Another excellent Brubaker comic (probably his best work, IMHO) is The Fall, with artwork by Jason Lutes. Anyone who hasn't checked it out, definitely should!

This is one of the most enjoyable and informative threads in a long time. Congrats, Cpt Kirk! (And yes, of course you've gone insane, but as others mentioned before, it's a good kind of insanity which most of us can identify with. (thumbs u )

If my memory isn't entirely faulty, I believe it was somewhere in the mid-90s. Maybe around '95-'96 or so. After a bit of googling, it appears that my memory was, indeed, faulty. He passed away in 2002. Amen! (thumbs u

The actual reference in Gerber's Scarcity Index is as follows: 10. Unique. Or close to it. Less than 5 known copies in existence.

Yeah, it's pretty beat up. It looked a bit better in the smaller photo. It's still an excellent deal, though. (thumbs u

$20 for all 23 books? The Adventure #257 probably costs close to that in this condition. That was a sweet deal. (thumbs u

Danger Trail It's Game Time Gang Busters Mr. District Attorney Rex the Wonder Dog Big Town

There's a Magnus #1 at the lower right of the first picture.

It's usually pretty evident when you have VF+ with monster spider creases. If I understand (and I'm almost sure I do) which book you're talking about, it's pretty obvious that the top edge alone would knock if off VF territory. Then again, the "f" and "g" keys are next to each other. The seller might've meant VG+ (Not likely, based on most of the other grades, but still... )

Which post are you referring to? If you're referring to my post, there is nothing cynical about it. I was dead serious - that is exactly how I do it. I also put two sheets of mcp next to both covers. I'm pretty sure he's jokingly referring to his own post and his jab at Comics General. Thanks for responding to this. Since, mine was one of the more recent posts I didn't want him (or anyone else) to think I was being cynical. I really do bag my "better" books the way I described. I've seen others do the same thing. It feels slightly overkill to me, but I can't say I don't get it. In any case, more protection is never a bad thing. (thumbs u Alas, 99% of my Golden and Silver Age books are mid-grade or lower, so this method is probably unnecessary for me, anyway. A single M2 with a fullback/halfback will suffice.

I think this goes for most of the non-superhero DCs from the 50s. Probably because not many people collected them (or took very good care of them) through the decades.

Don't know how hard it may actually be, but Lone Star has all four issues for about a dollar each. I have them too. Bought them when they came out.

I received a bunch of early Valiant books from Claudio. Communication was smooth, all the books were graded tightly and the packages arrived quickly and safely. (thumbs u Superb packing skills, as well. These packages were practically bomb-proof! I'll also add that he seems like a really great guy (even though he's not related to Francesca Piccinini, as I was hoping ).

We want both!

I'm not saying this is necessarily the case here (since I don't know which book or sales thread you're referring to), but it might simply be a situation where the seller doesn't know about there being other WP copies, or him/her being misinformed, for some reason. I think that a polite email to the seller explaining the mistake might be a good idea in this case.

Looks great to me. Unfortunately, that is pretty much as "high grade" I can personally go for 50s and early 60s DC war. That is, if I wanna get more than 1 issue per year.

No. But you can out him and call him the scumbag he is . . . I agree with this. I'm not 100% certain such an offense is/should be "probation worthy" (though if it was put to a vote, mine would probably be "yes"), but personally. as a buyer on these boards. I'd definitely want to know who the seller was so that I'd never buy from them in the future.

That's an interesting one. Is the question whether the cost of domestic shipping should be reduced from the cost of the international, so as to provide as much "freeness" to the int'l as the domestics get? Yes. Say it cost about $10 to ship USA and it's included in the BIN price, but it cost $30 to go to Europe (or wherever), then the overseas extra shipping price should be $20. I've seen many sellers do exactly that. And it makes me happy.
