  1. I like the Fantastic Comics 3 over Startling 49. The probable influence for this decision is that before I knew of Startling 49 I knew of Bender. Therefore when I see Startling 49, I automatically thing of Bender, Futurama and the Simpsons. Fantastic Comics 3 is totally original to me.
  2. It's a tunic dammnit !@(*#&$_#)(*&$
  3. In fact I liked that cover so much I just picked one up right now on eBay. I would have purchased one for a bit less from Mile High but they are the only dealer who I will never do business with.
  4. This series of covers have everything.. robots, aliens, dinosaurs, Native American dinosaur hunters, eternal warriors, robot fighters and a dude who fights the dead.
  5. I remember seeing this in the mid 90's and being 'wowed' One day I will rebuild this set as well. I regret selling the series.
  6. One day, if I find an lower grade but presentable copy of Human Torch #23, I would like to add this to my collection...
  7. This was the first Golden Age Superman book I purchased, specifically for the Robot Cover... It's on my "from my cold dead hands" list. I know that I have shown this before, but this is one my most favorite books in my collection.
  8. This was the only purchase I made at the Carbo show last month... Well worth the wait for a commission.
  9. Boardwalk Empire is the only reason outside of the Yankees (and Walking Dead) that I turn the TV on. Sunday Nights are usually Boardwalk Empire nights and I catch Walking Dead on the repeat.
  10. Excellent point. I offer this as a response. Mystery Tales 40 seems to share more of the show's premise than Faster Friends. Mystery Tales features the Hidden Land and the guy is on an airplane. The Spanish version of Faster Friends was just a book that Hurley read. Mystery Tales had more of a mystique about it once Richard presented it to John Locke as a child hinting that the comic book itself had a connection to John's role on the island. Yes, I want my Mystery Tales 40. I wish more exchanges could be this civil. Well done, sir! -slym (never saw LOST past Season 3) I stopped watching mid way through season three. It was a horrible show, so many unresolved issues in order to promote intrigue and mystery. Anyone can just insert random strange spoon into a story and then explain it to give an impression of mystery that is bad/lazy writing. Good writers promote mystery by selectively editing a -script and having the mysteries as logical but not predictable result of the plot. While some things were admittedly not resolved with clarity I felt that the majority of things were. There were some things that I did not need to explicitly know as they were unimportant to the plot. I have watched the entire series it a few times and it gets better with each viewing.

Yes, I want my Mystery Tales 40. There are 2 on the census....two. Once I nail down a copy there will be three.

  14. Gentlemen... I do not have a horse in this race. I enjoy the TV show immensely yet I have not picked up a single copy of the comic. So here we go... Remember Mystery Tales #40, the comic that appeared on LOST? Everyone said that it would eventually cool down and copies would be available after the show ended. I am still waiting and would like my copy. While I realize that WD is in far more abundance, I believe that there will always be a strong demand for this book. The demand coupled with the mystique will hold most of the value even after the dust settles.
  15. I read that on Neal Adams: Renaissance Man Part I though the coding on that site is distracting. But it was interesting to read what happened years later. ================ OFFENBERGER: It must have been hard to do that. ADAMS: Twenty years later Joe Simon sought me out to get advice on how he might handle his character's rights. I sat and talked to him for a half hour in the DC coffee room, gave him names and such. He never realized or remembered I was the kid he talked to all those years ago. Its quite difficult to imagine Neal Adams not being important at one time in the comics world. Im gonna get Neal to sign this book Hopefully you catch him on a good day. I have seen him in person twice. At the Carbo show 2012 he was as nice a guy as anyone you would ever meet. This year I overheard a few people at the beginning of the show say he was acting like an . I saw a couple of things myself that made me roll my eyes and walk away. Maybe he was having an off day and everyone is entitled to those once in awhile. I will what's up again next year.
  16. I have three AF15's. I do NOT have an original Spider-man cover. That is an amazing pickup.
  17. Congratulations! I have a feeling it'll be the first of many. Most people get hooked after the first one. Thank you I want a nice Cap Cover and then perhaps I am good... It is like Original Art... I am okay with one and done. I still plan on upgrading the Spider-man collection and then there are a couple of Marvel keys and Golden Age Supermans I want. Otherwise... I am going to get myself into trouble.
