    Amazing Fraud #15 ?

    in Comics General

    Posted

    Its funny how he says the comic has two minor tears on the front cover when the picture clearly shows it doesn't

     

    His description clearly states that the comic pictured is not the book that is being sold. meh

    The use of a sample image is not uncommon, but reputable dealers make it very clear, even at the risk of running off potential buyers.

    This comic is for a Amazing Fantasy reprint only, not an original, pictures listed for the item do not represent the item sold nor do they represent the comic in anyway. Bidder/Buyer accepts that he/she as read the full description of this listing before placing a bid and accepts that no legal action will be taken on the winning bidders/buyers part. Good luck!

     

    Where is ths in the auction, I can't find it,,,?

    In the Wedding Bells paragraph.

    lololol :whee:

     

    He used the word "legal" so it must be legal, right? Isn't that all it takes?

    This thread helped him refine his scheme. The mistakes that were pointed out on the other auction are addressed in the new auction.

     

    Now that he's read the ctrl-f remark, he will no doubt adjust the formatting to prevent that check as well.

    I'm afraid ebay can't take it down because the scumbag has it listed as a reprint buried in that wall of text. Thoughts?

     

    Isn't the the exact reason it should be taken down??

     

    :facepalm: eBay

    It's contradictory since his specs at the top say the item's publication date is Aug 1962 and that the title is Amazing Fantasy. Is there a reprint of that issue that has all that info exactly like the original?

     

    The closest I can find apparently came out last year and was title "Amazing Fantasy 15: Spider-Man." It has a painted version of the cover and reprints both AF 15 and ASM 1.

     

    This is all assuming that anything will actually be sent. There could always be a cover fresh out of the inkjet, stapled to the front of any reprint of the story.

    Magneto in the movies was also a child during World War II. I don't buy Richard Gere as an 80 year old man.
    It would have been easier to make Gere look older than to make McKellen look younger. I'm not sure that Gere would have brought the sense of majesty to the role that McKellen evokes. If only we could have blended the best of both. :)

    I reject all opinions on comic book casting based on preferring a character's "nineties look".

     

    2c

     

    Okay (shrug)

     

    Magneto by and large has always been in peak physical shape with being in his 50's look. Ian has never looked the part. He looks old and weak.

     

    You are right in the sense that Magneto has always been depicted quite muscular, since the beginning. But we must remember that any super-hero (or super-villain) type was depicted as more-muscular-than-average up to when new artists with a subtle approach (like Neal Adams in the Silver Age or John Byrne in the Bronze Age) started to differentiate the characterization.

    Magneto's transformation from a super-powered madman with no backstory to a sympathetic victim of multiple generations of discrimination is more striking than the change to his visual depiction over the same course of time.

    I will take that from Greggy. I will not take it from you...and I disagree with you.

     

    (shrug)

     

    Hey, I was kidding! :baiting:

     

    I don’t know how to explain my point better. You have got to look at how artists draw children closely. Power Pack by Bogdanove is a great start! (thumbs u

     

    I like Bogdanove as an artist and I like schlock titles. Unfortunately Power Pack is a bit too schlocky even for my taste :)

     

    I still don't agree with you :baiting:

    Cartooning (which describes most comic book art) is about creating a convincing illusion. Some find one style more convincing than another.

     

    We might as well argue that Charles Schulz drew children poorly, or that Bob Bolling did. Their styles are not realistic, but convincing in the context of their own worlds.

    There's a deliberate attempt in all the photos to hide the top of the case. There's no reason for me to think the comic in this photo is even the same one as the other photo, especially given that the seller admits none of the photos are the comic being sold.

    Step 1. Copy/paste from Wikipedia.

    Step 2. Insert small print disclaimer amid wall of text.

    Step 3. Take the money and run.

     

    I'm glad it's reported. It should be a no-brainer for eBay. Then again… hm

    I have always loved that cover since the day I first saw it. :cloud9:

     

    I have a 9.8 non-Ped undercopy available now :baiting:

     

    Does it have a horrible miscut like your new copy. :baiting::banana:

     

    Hey!!! Thats only considered a slight miscut for a What If!

     

    Actually, i think my under copy is better aligned but i cant find the scan at the moment hm

    My copy has an almost identical cut to the slabbed one.

    Perez but from 1st volume. last page of 202 where they cover Ultron in molten steel. One of my favorites as a kid and bought off the newsstand :luhv:
    For a couple of years that was the earliest issue of Avengers I owned. That was many years ago. Nice purchase, sufunk.

    And probably the scarcest issue of Little Archie

    Wow Steve, nice Little A 21. I have a copy but some kid drew eyeglasses on Archie with a pen. I have searched everywhere for a replacement but any time I see one it's trashed. Why so scarce?

    No idea (shrug) But 20 and 21 definitely seem scarcer than the surrounding issues...

    I picked up a mid-grade issue 20 because I was tired of looking for anything better. All of Bolling's issues are treasures, but issue 20 has "The Long Walk" which is a touching and heartfelt story.

    Here is the 75 cent price variant edition of Jughead #327 which was difficult to find. Also P&G #15 (35 cent price variant) and lastly a Jughead #333 (75 cent price variant) with Samm Schwarts art.

    Jughead #331-352 all have story art by Schwarts in them which I was not aware of and Jughead #331-333 feature nice! Big Ethel stories by Schwartz in that 3 issue run.

    When Samm came back to Jughead around issue 179, he stuck with it to the end of the first series. Pretty much every issue I have in that range has all Jughead stories by Samm and most covers by DeCarlo. I never gave thought to the variants, but now I've got one more thing to add to my list. :)

    It’s already been a while, but now I have a beautiful Daredevils collection (#1-11) in VFNM condition, thanks to a UK seller. :cloud9:

    Al have original Captain Britain material and Miller Daredevil stories in B&W – the cover of #11 is already one of my favorites cover EVER, and it is monochromatic (white), as most of the more striking covers are…

    I thought every comic artist had that rough period at the beginning where they were still refining their skills and just glad to have a job. I've never seen Alan Davis' rough beginnings. It all looks great.

    That tape job was mine. I only did it because this is a reader copy and it was very brittle. It's kind of hard to tell from the scan but it was literally falling apart in my hand.

     

    In this case, a pair of pieces of archival tape would have been better. I understand it’s delicate, but it’s precisely for that reason: tape is worse. :)

    Yes. Archival tape isn't that expensive, and on the inside cover would have been better as well. Regular tape degrades the paper. I know, it's a beat up comic, but it's such a nice minor key to have in any condition.
