Just wondering...

Can warning others about his poor grading in his FS thread be considered threadcrapping? Personally... in a case like this, I do not think so. However, they have handed out strikes on the grounds of threadcrapping / disruptive in sales threads for lesser offenses in my eyes.

This is going to go over well. I just know it.

(thumbs u Thought you would appreciate that... One day I want to upgrade that book. It really is a classic cover. One day... it is on its way to me as I type.

Been saving but three things became available that I have been looking at for awhile. Besides, I sold a bunch of stuff to warrant a few things. ASM 13 was picked up first. I've been wanting another copy for awhile. Marvel Comics - Raiders of the Lost Ark #3 Page 3 - Classic Indy scene - Buscema's pencils were secondary... I really wanted an iconic Indy page from the first Dr. Jones adventure. Detective Comics 164 - Light Tan to OW pages were not a deal breaker right now... as I have been trying to win one of these / find one of these for awhile to no avail.

You know what I think is coincidental to the point of ridiculous ? If this is yet another instance where CGC delayed reporting a book in their census as part of a request from the submitter I will be more than simply disappointed concerning the ethics of a third party grader that then pretends to offer an impartial grading service. If the high rollers get special favors from CGC, no matter what those favors are, that we 'common folk' receive then CGC is not impartial. Where do the favors end? Where did it come out that this book was held back. It easily could have been graded in Chicago. I remarked to what I perceived as an inference in regards the coincidence that the book arrives on census after the Action 1 was sold.

But does fox own the rights to the Wesley Snipes depiction of Blade? While marvel has the rights back, they still collect royalties when blade is played on TV or a DVD is purchased. They could make a case that the continuance of Blade with Wesley Snipes infringes on their intellectual property concerning their interpretation of Marvel's character. Wasn't there some kind of hoop that had to be jumped through for Connery to play Bond in the non eon production of "Never Say Never Again?"

Some people think Action #1 is the greatest comic of all time. I read it and think every single issue of Criminal is better. I mean, objectively, it's about as good as Grips was. Take out the greatest part. Now address the point of the post instead of evading it. Okay. It's not even a good comic. What was the point? That different people will say different albums were the "best" albums ever? Or that Kirby wasn't that great an illustrator? I mean, he wasn't bad. Not 90's bad. He did his job. But Crumb is better. My post had nothing to do with AC1 I mentioned that Pink Floyd, a band that falls into your criteria of artists who write their own songs and play their own instruments, still use someone outside of the band to get that distinctive sound. I mentioned Floyd in the case of Dark Side of the Moon. Alan Parson's the recording engineer / mixer had a lot to do with that album in post. The Beatles had their George Martin. The Beastie Boys had their Rick Rubin. I'd compare mainstream comic artists who never ink their own work to modern electronic pop drek where they hire an autotune producer to make whatever they sing sound like a robot gargling so nobody can tell how off key they are. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that ain't no one about to change your mind on this, so... I arrived at that conclusion last night and went to bed. There are other things to concern myself with.

The Beatles, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Stones...they're laughin' atcha!! You saying they didn't play their own instruments and sing their own tunes? I'm talking about someone who doesn't ink his own pencils. Um George Martin had quite a bit to do with how the Beatles finished product sounded... Just saying. Did he play their instruments for them? What about when they went on tour? Marvel editors have quite a bit of influence on a finished comic too, but unless they physically dipped a pen in ink and applied it to the bristol I'm not actually counting it. And I didn't bring the Beatles up, and have never claimed they were the "King" of music. Sorry, maybe the Beatles thing was confusing. My point is, John Lennon and Paul McCartney had collaborators (each other) on much of their seminal work. Run and DMC had collaborators (each other) on much of their seminal work. I don't see how that means that they're not good at what they do. Or does your point only apply to comic artists? If one person could drum, guitar, and play bass then I'd feel differently. Also, not a fan of Run DMC. Stevie Wonder and Prince sometimes played all instruments on their recordings. So did Paul McCartney, on his early solo stuff. Wasn't there a Cure album that Robert Smith did the same thing and simply mixed it with someone? I know Moby basically made "Play" in his apartment with some instruments and a computer but invited a few guests to do some vocals on a couple of tracks.

And by the way... One of the greatest albums of all time - Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon... Pretty sure that Alan Parson's (Yeah the guy that created the intro for every sports arena) had quite a bit to do with the album in post as the bands mixer. Just saying.

I really do not know what to tell you if you honestly are unfamiliar with Martin's contributions towards the Beatles' overall sound. If you are not then there is no way to really explain it to you in a post. If you are and are simply ignoring it in an effort to support your own argument, then again, there is nothing I can do for you. As far as a tour goes, that argument goes out the window since each performance is essentially a new composition. (I have gone to a few Phish shows - the 2013-07-10 Harry Hood was far better than the 2013-12-30 version) On the record though where you have certain albums which are meant to be heard in a certain order and in a certain way, he is clearly responsible.

Alien(s) was amaze-balls

Waaaaaaaay too many Andrew's on this board. By Andrew I will clarify to the n00bz that we are not referencing Thirdgreenham, Beige nor myself.

What Bosco said.

Someone FINALLY put together a instrumental version of Mos Def's "Twilite Speedball" You may all know it as the music used in that commercial for the Cosmopolitan in Vegas.

Kirby... not the be all end all in the slightest... Just never thought of Kirby as the "best" or even near the top. With the exception of the Fantastic Four covers, I mostly look at Kirby's other work with appreciation but not greatness. They are good to me but they do not mesmerize. I can look at a Schomburg or especially a Feldstein cover and be captivated, looking at every nook and cranny of the cover in an effort to see what detail I missed the first time around and what else I can find. Kirby is good, but not as good as a few others. As I write this I can think of several artists like Fred Ray and Jack Burnley who composed some excellent artwork, both of which grab me in a way that Kirby's work does not. Now... I can appreciate that Jack knew how to lay down a comic book and was probably one of the most prolific and talented artists of his generation. I can also appreciate that Miley Cyrus has incredible vocal range and a natural voice. However, I do not own anything by Miley Cyrus as most of the music she produces does not interest me. (However she is working with the Flaming Lips so that may change.) Either way while I can appreciate that Miley has incredible talent and I cannot take that away from her, I can also say that I do not think she is the 'best'. I believe the same with Kirby.

I am a big fan of Marcos Martin's work. I would love to own a Spider-man page but from what I understand he does not sell his art. I have seen some of the Breach and Batgirl pages made available but nothing from Doctor Strange or Spider-man.

I agree with the previous comment regarding the various incarnations of the first movie. If there is a sequel made, which version of the movie is it a sequel to? We are not talking about a insignificant change like Greedo shooting first in Star Wars or awkwardly blinking Ewoks. That is not really a significant change to the whole movie. However, there have been enough cuts of Blade Runner where one version may be significantly different from the other.

I have a package to send you. I will be including some music and other things to get you to change your mind.

What do I have to do to get you to rename this thread, "The Helping Friendly Book"?

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title....oh Sublime! (Yes...I know they covered it...I was a child of the 90s...) Now I see it. I was trying to figure it out... I smoked 3 joints is the song I believe.
