Gorgeous, gorgeous books..
-
One of my favorite titles as well. Can't wait to see the scans!
Doug - are there prehero PC strange tales too?
-
I'm not an expert - I'll let eccomic comment further but in general I believe the canadian versions of US books like the cap above are in color whereas the canadian "whites" (which conversely are original content books with no US counterparts) are usually B&W inside.
-
Never seen or heard of those before either- awesome!
-
Sweet books! Agree with your sentiments re having a book and a porsche!
-
Oh I completely disagree. I think given the specifics of my point, its a VERY solid analogy
Don't make me burst out laughing, YOU'RE comparing AF#15 to Albedo# 2???
dude, come on now, there are like, 4 Albedo fans, and I'm sure they all post here.
talk about SEVERELY bad anologies
No.... the point is they are both the first appearance of the character in question. I thought that was abundantly clear
Obviously spidey is on a million times larger scale in terms of fan following than usagi is, that's not the point I was making. What I was saying is that they are both the first appearance, ie. if you're into those two characters, those are the two books to have. Nobody gives a damn about plat spidey 1, spidey collectors included
-
while the price is definitely high right now, the spidey 1 plat is a really bad analogy. Albedo 2 is more like the amazing fantasy 15 for usagi collectors.
Spidey 1 plat is a freaking lame variant of an ultra-overproduced 90s book for gods sake, not to mention 30 years removed from the first appearance.

I still miss mine...
so do I

really - how much is something like that beat up vs restored vs original in great shape (loose)?
All of the cars pictured are Spoilers, a subset of the overall Hotwheels line, typified by racing stripes, numbers, spectraflame paint and exposed engines. They are hotly collected.
Depending on colour and style, some of these are worth $1000+ mint and on the card (the record price for a hotwheel was $70k for a very rare hot pink VW beach van prototype.... so comic collectors aren't the only freaks). Loose and still in excellent shape, they go from $50 to several hundred dollars.
Beaters? I don't think I paid more than $15 for any of these, and they were all in reasonable, played-with condition. I stripped them, polished them, cleaned up the wheels and the glass, then repainted them with an airbrush and added new decals. And they are all-pimpin' now.
I restore one every six months or so.... just too busy to do one in a few days. I bought a large (25 cars) lot off ebay in 2004 which will provide me with enough cars to keep me busy for a few years.
Hotwheels.... they go great with comics.
Shep
I figured they would be worth some good money on the card. Interesting to hear some are worth bucks loose too - thanks!
I dug up my childhood hotwheels out of curiosity and have been trying to look them up on ebay - we're talking a couple bucks each for the good ones

Great, bust 'er open

I pull mine out all the time

#5 is my favorite. Awesome cover.
-
I'm not trying to say that it's a proper cameo. I shouldn't have used that term... but it's a minor first app. nontheless. He's on one friggin page people.
-
I disagree... I don't have the story in front of me, but he's in what, like three panels or something? It's a pretty minor first app
-
Yeah, although I personally consider 141 the 1st app... 140 is really more of a cameo
