    Buzzetta has Kav on ignore… Oh well, we love him nonetheless.

    Strictly speaking, X-Factor #24 is not the "first appearance of Archangel", as Warren would have accepted the rechristened name "Archangel" after he was freed from Apocalypse's influence. #24 shows Warren becoming Death, Apocalypse's fourth horseman, so in my opinion all of the books from that arc are important. Surely a great story.

    Re: the "moot point". It appears the appropriate translation into italian is "punto discutibile" / "punto controverso", which is consistent with the adjective. So, even if it’s used the way Chris said, I believe Bird is right and that seems to be the most correct meaning in english. :shrug:

    I personally find it not serious at all. If you were asking three times the current market value, maybe understandable, but when you agree to buy something at a given price it’s really poor to check prices afterwards and then get back to the seller asking for a discount.

    Of course, all of this is informative, but irrelevant. It is a way-cool BA book, HTF in HG. Period. More than this what is this "super-hero" divide? We are talking of characters which have been important, to various degree, to make up the Marvel age, it’s not essential they have powers. Willie Lumpkin and Karen Page have nothing to envy to the Beetle and Mr. Sinister.

    Luppachino's variants for Starfire are holding well also. I like her artwork on that title as well. It looks great. It’s Lupacchino (two "c"s and a "p"): something like "tiny wolf cub" in italian (the proper word would be "lupacchiotto").

    I’m just reading this and happy to see things are better. Very uplifting to hear about your daughter. Stay strong, a hug and I’ll pray for you when I’m praying for the sick. (thumbs u

    Love this… I have never read it (as most of the ECs) but now I have an Impact #1. Love also the Atomic Man… very intriguing.

    Even Silver Age drek it’s Silver…

    Neil Gaiman – thankfully – has nothing to do with Dr. Strange.

    Someone commented on that page where they speak about Tilda Swinton's casting: Now, leaving aside how good she could be in acting as the Ancient One (as a male, of course)… "stereotypical and potentially troubling"? Are we kidding?

    I suspect many of us would love to see foreign ones, especially some art scans and maybe a synopsis about content in English. I’ll see what I can do but my collection is very limited. And the most of what I have are not about super-heroes but I can dig out some from the 1990s.

    That is a real beauty Aces, and I’m still regretting not buying your restored FF#5…

    It's about time that modern GLs get more lovin........ This is quintessentially Divad, if you ask me…

    Your forum handle is pretty much explanatory… If you decide to "get rid" of a lower grade copy I’ve seen board member white_rushin is saving to buy one…

    After Tom's post I need to feel better so I’ll stare at my lowgrade copy (a good presenting VG-, courtesy of Nick @Comicana) and pretend it’s almost the same…

    Hey, I've found some nice things that popped up in that right hand column thing in sections I don't usually read (like Mixed Age). Me too.

    This is a great thread! I’d love to contribute, but I fear I have not much fanzines in english… I know for sure I have an issue of Squa Tront somewhere…

    I just came back from a vacation and love the new posts! Especially Bill's #65-67 – it must have been "unnecessarily" expensive to get them at these grades right now, but better now than who-knows-when, considered we do not know what they will do with Warlock. And drummy's #13 is… just wonderful.

    I am not familiar with it. Where was it published?

    And since Matteo posted the first italian edition of Fantastic Four #1 (a book I totally love) here’s the first edition of Fantastic Four #5, from another Linus supplement of the following year (1967):
