  1. There's a couple of active threads about rare romance comics and Baker books but I couldn't find a general Romance topic. I tried the search but it only came up with those topics. If I missed one please point me in that direction and I will delete this.

     

    Can anyone give me some recommendations on some romance runs that won't break the bank. I'm not looking for slabbed books but books I can actually read. I've ran across some banged up readers at the local flea market and really enjoyed them and I would like to read more.

     

    There's so many titles and I really don't know the best place to begin.

     

    Thanks for any and all help

     

     

  2. Alpha Books in Fort Smith, Arkansas

     

    They sold new and back issue comics as well as general books/magazines from the early 1900s on up. They rarely had "wall books" but he had an X-Men 94 in the glass counter by the cash register for months. I would drool at it every week when I got my box of comics. Looking back his prices were outrageously high for back issues but me and my friends happily bought them up because it was the only place in town. The owner died back in the mid-90s and the place closed up.

  3. It depends on the show for me.

     

    Typically lighter shows like Orange Is The New Black or Frankie And Johnny I can tear through in about a day or 2 because they don't require much thought. Shows that take more concentration like Daredevil and Jessica Jones I try to pace myself a bit so I don't miss smaller details.

     

    I always prefer the choice though to binge or not. I can't stay interested in a show on a typical TV format anymore.

    Gotham

    Heading into season 3, Gotham isn’t the only thing that’s getting older.

     

    Maggie Geha (Ted 2) joins the cast as a series regular in the role of Poison Ivy. Although the character has previously existed in the world of Gotham, Geha will play an older Ivy. According to her character description, “Following an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, Ivy Pepper finds herself reborn, and one step closer to the DC villain she is destined to become: Poison Ivy. Now a 19-year-old woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms, she sets her sights on Bruce Wayne.”

     

    Get ready to meet the new Ivy — as well as Jamie Chung as Valerie Vale — when Gotham returns on Monday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

    I have yet to come across a copy that is remotely close to 9.8.

     

    I still have no interest in owning this issue, but I've sure as hell been looking for it. Not because I want to make a huge premium on it, but only because this thread has gotten me interested in the fact that it's so hard to find. In my opinion, I've yet to come across anything better than a 9.2-9.4. I even checked the last LCS in my area. They didn't even have a copy of Wolverine #35...

     

    Same here...it is like a fun scavenger hunt :banana:

    The two captains chairs that replaced the old blue ones. Also note the hardwood flooring throughout..

     

    If you don't mind me asking, what did those two chairs set you back? Do they come in black as well? I'm thinking about buying a pair for my comic book/man cave.

     

    Thanks.

     

    Those are pretty awesome chairs... I might like to look into getting one myself
