  1. Rant......

     

    I missed out on Batman #1 and now it looks like I missed out OR will miss out on Amazing Spider-Man...... I loved Turners art, they are a master piece and you can see that he truly loved drawing..... But with how Aspen (a company Turner practically founded) is handling the printing and distribution of those books. If Aspen really wants to honour Turners memory, they should have a much higher prints... This way every Turner fan can get a copy. With how Aspen is doing, I wouldn't be suprised if Turner is rolling on his grave...

     

    Ok rant over.....

     

    U sound jealous

     

     

    You're D.a.Mb right I'm jealous and pissed as hell...... its been years since the last Turner book (maybe even a decade) and what does Aspen do, they limit the copies to 3000 or 3500... That is just f***ed up.

     

    Then on the day they open the website for pre-sale and said it'll begin at 9:00.... I was on the computer at 9:00...BUT guess what, the website crash. I can't stay at the computer all day and wait for them to fix it, some of us has a job to do. When I got back...BOOM, it sold out. They even have the nerve of having the comics in the front page but when you click on it, it was sold out.

     

    I didn't even have the opportunity to order, let alone put in my cart.... I heard some people went as far as checkout, but the website crashed again (or was sold out) if I'm pissedas hell, I can't imagine how pissed those people are....

  3. 5 stores, 6 copies total of Batman/Superman 32 available. I guess most went to file customers. This is one you need to hold on to till Rebirth when he appears again. You can quick flip and make a few bucks or wait and make more.

     

    1st Superman Chinese Knock-off??? (tsk):roflmao::banana::shy:

     

    Everything else is being knock off by china... why not superhero too....

  4. I just checked the Census, and wow, there are waaaaaaay more NYX #3 9.8's out there then I thought... I had once heard it was a "rare" book. Yeah... Not so much.

     

     

    I remember when the comic came out (2000 ish I think)I heard that the artist (Middleton) brought atleast 100 copies and sent it directly to CGC. He knew who was being introduced in the comic, that's the reason why he sent that many. He then sold all of them in eBay a few months/year after, for a good $$$...... atleast that's what I've heard

  5. Wanted to post a couple pics of my comic "gallery." It's a 10'x10' room in my home with gray painted walls and white molding.

    I'm a big fan of DC: Batman, Harley Quinn, Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman. A lot of Neal Adams for Neal Adams month :)

    I also like The Walking Dead by Image.

    The room has custom-built "floating" shelves that hold 50 comics (25 on each wall). All are CGC graded and most are signed (SS) as well. Sorry for the glare.

    Another wall will eventually have a tall black wooden bookcase to showcase my action figures and the few statues I own. This will also block the one window and eliminate the glare.

    On another wall is just art prints. The ones featured here are (clockwise left to right): Batman 655 with Andy Kubert wood wall art, Harley Quinn by Michael Turner, Batman (Gotham Knight by Kelley Jones - this was my first piece and bought at the now closed WB Studio Store, my dad and I framed this one), The Dark Knight Rises by Olly Moss, and the last piece is Bane, also from The Dark Knight Rises. The Harley print and the two for TDKR were custom framed by a local framer.

    The last wall (not shown here) is the entry door and a closet. Above the closet I have all of my Batman Legos. In the closet are raw books and CGC books that do not currently fit on the shelves. Hope you enjoy.

     

    P.S. Big thanks to dscott and Rich_Henn for obtaining a lot of these sigs.
