Here's my copy of "What Do You Know About This Comic's Seal Of Approval"

You couldn't be more off base if you tried.

I quit the boards because of trolling and, to a certain degree, a discomfort with the extreme right wing leaning that much of its members displayed. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but at least initially it seems a far kinder and more polite place than it was four years ago. I see no point in discussing Christine as she was not particularly civil to me, and because of that, any criticism of her would be unfair, especially as I don't know her as a person. Anything I say could be misinterpreted, so far more tactful to simply not discuss her at all. Please respect my wishes here.

If you look at the pic of all the keys and rarities, you will see it there clearly on that picture. It was wonderful how you found it. I eventually came across another copy before I completed. There is no doubt that New Adventure 26 was the toughest. In 2004 I had completed the entire collection apart from that one book, and it took a whole further year to get one, which I did in July 2005. Mind you, Girls Love 5 was the toughest book to upgrade. That took years to find a copy that was even barely acceptable.

It's not a contest. Plus she also didn't have the Fat And Slat Joke Book when I originally asked. She'd apparently never heard of it. And she has no promos at all - and there are so many and so many rare ones too. She clearly has runs of Action and Detective, but for me, she's not a completist. But it doesn't matter. I was not in a contest. I merely set a goal and eventually fulfilled it. I was amused by the claims I did it quickly. Many old time comic legends like Alan Austin and Mike Lake can attest to how eagerly I tried to fill every gap in the 1970s and 1980s. My mistake was trying to speak to her one time, imagining she'd be as happy to discuss her collection as I was. It brought me down to Earth with a very fast bump.

Sorry but I don't believe she ever did complete it. Certainly not back then, anyway. Every obscure book I enquired about turned out to be unknown to her. I meticulously researched to ensure none were missing. Anyway, it never was and never has been a contest. I had a goal when I was ten that I completed forty years later.

That depends on the trolls. I haven't forgotten Deathlok.

The first sixty were classic apart from the irrevocably dire "Man Thy Name Is Brother". By the time number 66 came out, it had just sunk without trace, compared to "Slave Ship Of Space", "The Cosmic Fun House", and "Crisis On Earth One".

I started collecting DC Comics when I was ten years old.

Yes. All that I know about. They are considered promos but I want them all.

All Star Comics is by far my favourite run. Then Justice League of America, particularly the first sixty issues. It went drastically off after that. The the Inferior Five, Metal Men, Metamorpho, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and the Legion Of Super Heroes when they were in Adventure Comics. My most cherished comic is Double Action 2.

The covers of both are heavily restored. The Action 1 seems to be two copies married together at some time in the past. The Detective 27 has beautiful white pages inside. The Action 1 is an apparent 6 and the Detective 27 is probably an 8.5. But they both look outwardly pristine and clean and strong.

I think they were made for sale in Canada. They just never interested me.
