Some of the material coming to market now

Recent pick-up

A few pictures. Finally found my group shot of all 5 Batman 25s I have

😳 Thats a whole lot of money for a Miller

I think the biggest issue with it is Miller drew it But I am sure it will go for crazy money.

Definitely “green” artwork, they are constantly being recycled.

Here’s something you don’t see every day BWS Conan cover

I like Kubert and this cover really hits what I like best from the titles he worked on.

They have this one listed as 1960 versus 1970, hopefully they correct it. I like it even thought it is getting late for my collecting interest.

This image is finally up. One of the better panel pages from the issue in my opinion.

I have a similar view

I probably have a very different perspective that’s you. My wife is black, my son is black. Watching people jump through mental gymnastics to play the “yeah but” game is disappointing versus just saying, yes, it is racist. You say I am moving the goal post which I am not. I did not limit my statement to “how the character was drawn”. Everything about the character was racist. You jump to what aboutism. If someone drew a character with racist tropes, it is racist. I don’t care if it is someone who is Irish to Italian. Similarly a lot of Timely’s have racist representation of Asians. I don’t need to jump through the a bunch of hoops say “yeah but the war” or “maybe their editor held a gun to their head and made them draw it”. You can have what ever opinion you want and you can express it in any way you want. I myself am just very surprised to see yours and others opinion.

All I can say to your post is just wow, no matter how far we have come we still have a LONG way to go. This thread has been very eye opening to me.

It is impossible to know with any degree of certainty what was in the mind of who drew this so I am not going to do any mental gymnastics to justify it. I just have to look at it and draw my conclusion it is racist. When it was drawn doesn’t matter, what people deemed “acceptable” doesn’t matter, it is still racist.

So you don't think this is racist?

There is a bunch of stuff coming up that I am interested in. It seems like Heritage has a never ending stream of material coming to auction. I hope prices are depressed.

I have no idea where you are from but definitely glad I am not living near you.

The character is Whitewash Jones, a black character that mapped into every black stereo type of the times Whitewash Jones

The artwork is pretty interesting plus it has the super racist image in the top panel. Will be interesting to see where it goes

Only losers collect vinyl, 8-tracks is where its at.

Looks like a fun show. If the drive wasn't too long worth going to dig through boxes.

Fact check: Entirely True

Is Heritage letting Butterfingers McGoober back in the shipping department?

Thanks for the links! I have either bought when they 1st came out at the local comic store or more recently bought off EBay. eBay prices vary drastically so if you are patient you can get some smoking deals on stuff.

All three of those titles are expensive to finish off! I still need several of the later ones for the Amazing Spider-Man. I consider myself a bottom feeder so trying to buy stuff less than $30 all in but I am getting to a place where I am going to have to up how much I pay. Good luck finishing those titles !
