My takeaway from watching the market over the last two years is that nobody knows what's going to happen next year, next quarter, next month or tomorrow, and anyone making declarative predictions about where the market is going is full of chit.

Woah.

Thanks!

The cases are interesting. They look like pregnant versions of the comic cases.

It's a good example of how what I consider to be The Comics Market and what someone else considers to be The Comics Market aren't necessarily the same thing. The hyper inflated modern 9.8 market was out of control the last two years and was likely due for a correction, regardless of external economic factors. Same with the movie spec books where dollar bin books become worth hundreds literally overnight. For the particular books I collect I've not noticed any material deflation in prices.

The Comic Book Heroes: From the Silver Age to the Present. Historical examination from 1985. Very detailed analysis of DC and Marvel comics from the beginning until the mid-80s. Very well written, and also very well read. $10. SOLD

Jeans while working remote?? If my kids see me wearing jeans these days they ask if I'm going to a wedding or funeral or something.

Anyone waiting for this supposed cratering of the market may just be in for some disappointment.

You're talking to someone who has devoted virtually every post in the past two years to excitedly and ceaselessly predicting the economic collapse of civilization, and joyously celebrating any time there is a hint of world news pointing to economic downturn.

They've been saying it since the 40s.

Oh.

Is this the company that recently lost a 300 book submission and then launched an "investigation" a year later after the submitter finally went public?

Another @Dr. Balls piece.

So all those times I saw Rich flying around convention floors, lugging a hand truck of raw comics behind him to be signed by creators and celebrities, that was, in reality, Harlan Ellison??? I never would have suspected. The perfect disguise.

Sweet! Now that the book is complete, Matt can get back to spending time on the company he runs. I wonder if he knows how horrifically off-course things have gotten while he's been locked away in his writing room.

Woah. I was not aware of that Spicy Tales. Awesome.

If that's really a Hughes piece it's a pretty weak one.
