 @ThothAmon , Only kidding of course.

My copy was the result of Vane's diligent efforts.  I'm happy to be it's current caretaker but all the kudos belong to him.

@MAR1979Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad those books are at a good home  

The Dark Mansions digest was one of my favorite DC digests. I obtain that copy way back early 2000’s from another collector. Some board members might remember this collector - Bob Cat’s entertainment.

Also, there was one copy I could not find a 9.8 condition - Best of DC Blue Ribbon Digest #68 Sugar and Spike Halloween special. That particular digest had a lot of printing defects, more so than the other digests. Maybe you are able to find a 9.8 copy  

I’m not sure who’s considers an old time user around here but I’ve been a member since 2010. And I just recently logged back in last Thursday.

Not sure if this was already announced on the boards.

I signed up to HBOMax to see this film with anticipation that this film will be very good. Boy...I was wrong. The first 10 minutes started off ok but it went down hill from there. Within 30 minutes into the movie my 18 year old kid walked out of the living room. Then another 15 minutes my wife started to doze off. I was the only one around saw the entire movie and it was bad. It had some interesting points in the movie but that was it. I don’t think Pat Jenkins had full control of the film. It looks like someone higher up or board members was controlling the direction of the movie. 
 

Also, there’s an ugly rumor that they might stop printing DC Comics entirely and go all digital.

i love it! more amazing even to me is that someone's wife and kid actually listen to them! bravo sir. 

My wife spent some time with the fine details of the house. And for my daughter - she spent some time getting the moonlight in the right angle. 
 

Thanks for the kind words everyone. 

Thanks Ken!

I asked them to look at this cover and try to make it a bit more modern. 
 

Of course, nothing can beat the original below. 
 

She'll be turning 18. Going to graduate high school soon.

She thought about being a graphic designer, but after much research and reading though reddit threads it really doesn't pay all that much even if you do a 20 year career. She decided to work on her marketing degree instead when she attends college.

Hi all,

Here's another sketch and digitally colored drawing my kid did. She's working on getting a car, so I paid for this one.

It's a cover swipe from House of Mystery.

6 years ago, I liked the Christmas background music so much in this Smallville episode, I extracted the vocals and posted just the music only on YouTube.

Hope everyone likes.

 This is her last year in high school. She was thinking to be a conceptual artist or a graphic designer, but after some research - she found that it might not be the job for her. So now she’s thinking to work on getting a marketing degree with a minor in graphic design. Seems there more opportunities in a Marketing career.

This is extremely hard to find in this condition due to the black cover. This book is from 1974, so a 45 year old book in this condition is pretty much uncanny. You can still smell the fresh newsstand from the book.

i wish CGC graded these.  Great looking copies.  Did you hang on to your DC Digest collection?  I know you worked hard on those and these as well to find uber HG copies.

Thanks!

I sold most of my DC Digests.
