  1. John Buscema inked by Sinnott. The poster was originally for a 1975 Marvel Convention.
  2. It doesn't work if bidders are focusing on consecutive lots and end up having to oversee several lots at the same time due to the time extensions, which forces them to either overlook one of the lots or change their bidding strategy. I much prefer a quick end to an online auction as it allows you to regroup quickly if you lose. CC's auctions do not reflect real auctions which are over rapidly and do not overlap. Heritage's live bidding model is much better.
  3. I still have that poster from when I bought the book at the newsagents. Great stuff.
  4. The Action 1 holds a unique position in the hobby and despite the other two books almost gaining parity is still the holy grail.
  5. Here is my best Chicago purchase Billy boy. A GREAT little book!! Sorry Billy, here's a larger scan .... terrific pick-up jimmy; doesn't get much better, sir. One of my favorite covers of the run. Wish my copy was somewhere near that grade...
  6. Kazuo Ishiguro - Never Let Me Go. Very dark low-key sci-fi. Probably Ian McEwan next.
  7. Still unclear about all of that.
  8. Oh that's right you "happen to know some police officers who are close friends." Maybe you can tell them a bunch of "Nazi's" on a comics board are being mean to you Yep, stop posting pics of your mom after she gave birth to you. It's really not a nice image of her. Well, thanks for the positive contribution.
  9. I'm sure he's a sweetie in person.
  10. Hello I hope it was not because of your 1st post on the CAL's Column. Notice the few CGCers that have participated on this Thread... "In the end it is not the voices and shout-downs of our enemies that we will remember; it is the deafening 'silence' of our so-called 'friends'" - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. CAL who had comicdonna's back Truly bizarre post. Plenty of people have posted prior to you, and his post in your thread is surely of no consequence here. Everyone here has got Mike's back. Everyone.
  11. Sal Buscema wasn't that bad. Indeed. A bit generic, but in the 70s he was always reliably good and his artwork allowed the story to flow. fixed that Actually, that's a good call. Should've clarified.

  13. She was only the fishmonger's daughter, But she knew a surprising amount about ironmongery as well.
  14. There once was a man called Bill Who took a dynamite pill His chest expired His bum backfired And his willy shot over the hill
  15. Cream pie? I may as well have painted a target on my forehead.
  16. Underrated British reprint. (thumbs u
  17. It's a tougher E.C. book to find in 6.0 and above, certainly. Looks sharp for the grade.
  18. Since we are writing true confessions, I used to be an Astros fan too. They disappointed me repeatedly. Maybe Bedrock will grow out of it and perhaps turn to a good team like the Yankees. Cub fans are just masochists. Red Sox fans are ..... And the Phillies purchased all the good pitchers that were supposed to play for the Yankees, boo hoo. bb Screw 'em all...except the Astros. How could I ever change allegiances? Cesar Cedeno, Mike Scott, Craig Biggio, JR Richard. Heck, we had season tickets in the mid '70s when they were so bad you would call to see what time the game started and they would ask, "What time can you be here?" I saw JR pitch his first game. He once threw a pitch so wildly it went up into the foul ball netting. I was at the game when Albert Pujols sent the moonshot out of Minute Maid off of Lidge in the top of the ninth of game six of the the 2005 NLCS. Fortunately they won game 7. Billy Parker and I were also at the game the year before when Brandon Backe pitched magnificently and Jeff Kent hit a walkoff to beat the Cards. Just a great game. I love me some Astros. They are terrible, but I still love 'em. BTW, they are on pace to win about 55 games this year. YAHOO!!!! At least you have the Titans.
