heheheh. I'm not too old for the epic rides, just the crazy nights drinking playing SNES and other consoles with my biking mates until 3am the morning before the ride!

A bacon sandwich always fixed us!

Ah, the good old days!

mmmmmm.. Holly Willabooby...

<3

Great pics from the Lakes Batmeister. Stunning scenery. I used to do similar before epic cross country bike rides...not possible these days, too old now.

Nice cave, more stuff than some shops.

What do you call a deer with no eyes??

Anyone from Newcastle in here? I'm heading there tomorrow for a few days to visit my sister and her young family, and want to try and visit any LCS's in the area, and introduce my little Nephew to a comic shop!! Anyone know of any good shops up there? A google search reveals a FP (bleh) and 'Travelling Man'.

Tanks in a vance.

Pleased to find this thread. I'm gonna enjoy trawling through it, but first, I'll share my recent comic related sketches from this weekend.

Yesterdays 'tec 31 recreation. not fussed about accuracy, just free hand to practice with my crappy felt tip pens.

and today, a Bats sketch based on a JLI panel

Off to see Man Of Steel this evening.

 

I will of course be sharing my jaded, cynical, hater opinion regarding this turd afterwards.

 

You'll hate it.

 

All right kiddies, I'm going to shock you all by stating that Man Of Steel is NOT A STINKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In fact, it is a very decent film indeed - DC's best, with the exception of TDK, by some distance.

 

The acting is a little wooden in places, and the dialogue does quite often slip into portentous genre guff, but on the plus side - Cavill IS Superman, the plot and logistics generally were worthwhile if not ambitious, the direction was above average (yes, Snyder does good) and above all else, it is a rather good ride, with quite definitely the best action sequences and SFX ever seen in a super-hero film. I even liked Kevin Costner's turn as Pa Kent, whilst the rest of the leads acquitted themselves pretty well. And Michael Shannon was born to be Zod.

 

Better than the Avengers, chaps. A little too long it has to be said, and overall a remarkably dark, gritty work that lacks the humour of the Marvel flicks (and certainly jars with the Donner version) but them's small quibbles. It's a good film!!!!

 

Why didn't you post all of that in the MoS threads.

 

I am EXCITED now!

Better than Avengers?? Wow, must see it!!

Love that Vic n Bob sketch, hadn't seen it before.

Arrived this morning from the good ole US of A. Thanks to MCS.

I couldn't afford it, but I couldn't resist it either.

Around 1,500 I think.

I'm in the (on-going, and often interrupted) process of cataloging them.

Beautiful!

Reading FC...Champions ...again... back in the top flight

maybe we'll get some of our old players back from Wolves now..

whatever CGC gives you. don't question it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is the right answer.

It could be that "up to 5 ticks" that the above poster mentioned seeing on a 9.0, could also get you an 8.5, or some other grade, on a different book..

I wish there was a definitive answer to this too. Sorry, but I don't think there is, at least certainly not from CGC.

Perhaps some seasoned veterans (collectors/dealers) out there have established their own methods though, I'd be interested to hear about those.

groovey..I'm in no rush, just wanted to let you know that I'm a prospective customer. Cheers.

I've just been catching up on this thread, and going back to the posts about selling to other UK boardies - I'm interested to see any spreadsheets of any for sale comics if you have them. or just your eBay id. So send me a PM if you are selling. I've found one of you on eBay so far.

I'm mostly after Bats & Tec, with dablings into other stuff as well.

Cheers!

Bonjour. I just stumbled across the 'polls' section, and saw this thread, so I just thought I'd say hello...

hello!

In my opinion, the most important book I have ever held, and possibly the most famous and beautiful cover ever produced by the king of comic art, Bob Kane. This is the best Christmas present I have ever got. My father bought this for me, the best dad in the world.

 

Slight A (best case resto).

 

I am still in awe to hold a Batman 1.

 

Awesome!

 

Congrats and make sure you buy your Pops a drink of his choice (or two). (thumbs u

This first cover is super sweeeeet and having Steigerwald makes it that much cooler, don't have a siggy from him since the Turner days

Looks like steampunk to me..and after a quick google search apparently it is.

A partially mechanical amnesiac, who begins a new life as a private detective and bounty hunter. She takes cases the ordinary law enforcers can not or will not, while searching for clues to her past.

 

Origin

 

Lady Mechanika was created in 2010 by Joe Benitez and Peter Steigerwald for an original series with Aspen publishers. Being the star of her own comic line she takes a lot of her design and concept from the very popular steam punk genre. She has already received huge popularity in a very short time due to extremely popular design.

 

The lady herself features mechanical limbs as well as augmented eyes, she also suffers from a nasty case of amnesia and as such is constantly hunting for clues about her past and her mysterious limbs.

Anyone have any knowledge of these books? are they any good?
