Just a shout out to Brent at QualityComix for hooking me up with this treasure. Reasonable price and a pleasure to deal with.

...very pretty book.....

...you got me there Pimpy,...I can't beat a raw 9.6 Man-Thing....

.....done,...now show me yours....

I know my Man-Thing is hotter than yours.......

I'm jealous on that Unexpected 115.

 

..thanks,...and they were 25% off the cover price.....I had some guy breathing over my shoulder racing long boxes with me while we scooped them all up,...if I was there 10 minutes earlier i would have gotten away with a lot more...but I did get a person_without_enough_empathyin Witching Hour #1 and a bunch of Adam's Phantom Strangers...

 

25% off the cover price...so that 15center cost you 11 cents?

 

WOW!!

Rocket - that ain't a Man-Thing 4!!!!!!!!!!! Nice book but your Subject says Man-Thing 4!!!!!

...Never you mind about my Man-thing,.. .....by the way I did get a Man-thing #1 too!!

...and this hopefully will replace the so-called Swamp -Thing CGG 9.8 I thought I was getting a couple of weeks ago...

I'm jealous on that Unexpected 115.

.....I picked up about a dozen very minty fresh Bronze DC's this weekend,...Unexpected,..Phantom Stranger and Witching Hours...here's a couple...

...I just got back a asm 267 9.8 double cover....

...that is gorgeous,...has to be my favorite wrightson cover,...that green is incredible,...I just dug out my copy and while it appears to be Nm on closer inspection it has a rusted lower staple and moisture stains on the back....

kudos to rocketeer for sending me my first 9.8 and writing harasing messages on the package.

 

 

I'm sure i don't know what you could be referring to.....I can't be responsible for writing on the package once it leaves my hands,....the USPS can be very nasty at times....

Per "The Great Comic Book Heroes" by Jules Feiffer, the first appearance of Superman was in the Action Comics June issue of 1938. The episode was drawn by Joe Shuster and written by Jerome Siegel. This book contains reproductions of many of the original comics.

Superman is a hero from the getgo, as the June 1938 issue (Superman # 1) tells of his origins on Kypton, being raised by the Kents, and becoming Superman. One panel says this, "As the lad grew older, he learned to his delight that he could hurdle skyscrapers..." In a later Siegel and Shuster episode (Superman # 3) there is a panel that states, "With the speed of light, he [superman] reaches the railroad trestle___".

Per "The Great Superman Book" by Michael Fleisher, E. The Super-Powers 2. Super-Speed and the Power of Flight, “In the early years of his super-heroic career, Superman was not endowed with the power of flight. Although he possessed superhuman speed, he moved from place to place by running or by executing gigantic leaps. Month by month, however, Superman’s running speed increased, along with the complexity of the aerial maneuvers he was able to perform once he had left the ground. The transition from leaping to actual flying was extraordinarily gradual and was punctuated with a great deal of inconsistency. Not until May 1943, in fact, is Superman explicitly referred to as a “being who can fly like a bird” (Act No. 60: Lois Lane-Superwoman!”), and not until later that same year can it be said, without qualification, that Superman actually possesses the power of flight (Act 65, Oct ’43; “The Million-Dollar Marathon!”; and others).”

Finally, the reason for the power of flight, along with all the other super-powers, went through a series of changes starting with an undocumented one (being an alien) in 1938. The latest, per the above reference, is the “ultra solar rays of Earth’s yellow sun.”

people in bold I have dealt with 3 or more times,

 

Hmmm....Creeper books....OSPG....2 TPBs....Jim Lee Superman books....I believe it should be ArAich....

At least he lists you....

Well it's been far too long since I did my Kudos list, so here goes:

 

Everyone listed here has been a pleasure to deal with, people in bold I have dealt with 3 or more times, people in red bold are those I have done too many deals to count (or maybe I just think they look good in a dress).

 

I have no doubt that I have missed some folks, in part because some folks are anonymous and in part because my brain is like a sieve on Wednesdays.

So the paper is laid on the top and bottom side of the book and that's what protects the book from scorching?
