    Why does the Horse on the right look so ticked off?

    Because of my love for Tolkien, I'm sticking with the show and really want to like it but it's mostly a disappointment for me. It seems more like the run of the mill fantasy series that the industry has been churning out the last several years. I have yet to see any performances of weight yet and the writing is weak. The music is bland at best. In the LOTR, the music sucks you right in from the start along with a stable of incredibly strong actors, strong -script and of course strong source material. Of course this is my opinion. I really wanted to like this.

    That is nice!

    If you knew how many times I've said the same thing.

    Some nice cheesecake on that cover.

    Was there an add for Action 1 in any of the DC books that predate Action 1? If so, what are they worth?

    As good as he was, my unpopular opinion is that his work was often way too busy, too cluttered at times. Suspense 3 excluded, of course. Hard to remember which cover was which, they all kinda blend together. His airbrush covers on the other hand.....

    That's a rather obscure cover.

    Montana knew how to draw! His war covers had it all.

    Supes looks pizzedoff.

    I'd like to see the inside of that back cover to see if that tanning or"Dust Shadow" is present there as well.

    Being a big fan of LOTR, I hope they don't screw this up. Diversity casting isn't an issue for me. Middle Earth covers a large area with lots of people and races. The stories and the writing matter along with characters that we would come to care about played by actors who can pull it off. I'm going into this expecting to be disappointed but hoping I'm wrong.

    The only thing I ever won was the election for Emperor of the Water Cooler way back in the early days here. I beat out some cat named Fuelman for the honor. When realizing that the power the position would grant me would invariably lead me to turn evil, I quickly abdicated and turned the title over to the wondrous MarvelFanGirl.

    My favorite Jackpot cover.

    I used to order from Howard. Books would come between two thick pieces of cardboard with a brown paper wrapping.

    I was able to connect with a lot of MLJ/Archie fans through eBay. It was also a very affordable way to fill in MLJ runs. They were still under the radar in the late 90's and even looked down on by many dealers and mainstream GA collectors. Being a tightwad I was able to find incredible deals at times. It was a lot of fun.

    I got most of my MLJ's between 1998 and 2003. It was wide open.

    The Black Hand is so misunderstood. He's the real hero of Blue Ribbon Comics.

    Love that cover on Batman 59. That woman on the Crime Illustrated looks like Monroe.
