  1. That is awesome. I great book to have for certain...You should post the others under this post. YOU ARE A WINNER
  2. He was my highlight. There were not many old school artists present. Stanley, Neal Adams Kurt Busiek and Mike Mignola were the only ones from my old days. This man does not do comics but he is so humble and AWESOME. He had a gig as well. I bought his newest book and Surfer checked it out first while we drove back for Tnerbs &amp;quot;bachelor&amp;quot; party...SHAMAN...What? Great times and enjoy this man...he is truly one of a kind....oh...BTW I got 12 Stanley books (HE WROTE) signed at ECCC...thanks to awesome friends <a href="http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGbvhyTZXfs&amp;amp">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGbvhyTZXfs&amp;amp;spfreload=10 To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  3. I have always been a Frazetta fan for I was into Dungeons and dragons. I have been scanning all my books and finding gems, multiples and getting organized. it feels great and Sensei...I am nearly to my walking Dead books. I bought this a while back. As far as collecting, if this was a 9.8 I would have passed it up. I saw this 9.9 and became that kid playing D and D and got overwhelmed with vorpel power. Here is a smile and a picture for you To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  4. As this being said I AM A COMIC FAN I do not care if someone collects ONLY Marvel or DC or even Independent books... What I appreciate is people who UNDERSTAND THE BIZZ....COMICS ROCK....get to know ALL.... LOVE IT AND LIVE IT To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  5. I love conflict....don't live for it. I will debate my opinions with full heart. Am I right...It doesn't really matter in the end. TO QUESTION IS KEY
  6. OMG....I feel for the CGC BORDS....c'mon ROCK PAPER SCISSORS>>>CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG?
  7. I am a big Kirky fan and I want to share what I feel. I am a FAN of COMICS. I bend more to Marvel but I appreciate DC in a more reverent way. I feel Thanos is a sort of copy of Darkseid. Kirby had some incredible visions during the DC days and I feel he was more limited with the Marvel Universe. I will leave it at this but Darkseid Is King Villain To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  8. Professional service and packed with utmost care. A+++++ Thanks Mike
  9. do I have to have a photobucket account to view? I could not see the books
  10. A very memorable moment for me at the ECCC 3/14 Lee K gave me a book for Kenneth Rocafort to grace his art on. I did not know much of him but I looked at his big layout of sketches and realized he was outstanding. I handed him Lee's book and pulled one of my blank covers out. They would be ready on the last day. When I picked up mine (and paid for the service) I got a bit teary with this book...Not so much because of the beautiful rendering but more with his humble pride in his eyes. He clearly loves what he does. I hope you find joy in this sketch........... "till next time To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  11. I have always been a #1 issue or first appearance collector. I have since come to an epiphany that Showcase fits. There are many that are out of my league but, for the most part, I will collect this endearing series.Here is one that stands out as the line sketching is quite beautiful.The hatch lines are amazing and the motion makes me smile.To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  12. TNERB And Surfer Disney on Saturday. Note Lee K is at Klaus Janson table and Shivabali is somewhere out between....We all got 'er done Just seeing David get a sketch from Silvani (?) for his wife was enough to make your heart overflow with falling leaves...How he constantly looked at his commission with admiration was a treat. GREAT FOLKS HERE. CGC was, as usual, OUTSTANDING....MIKE...YOU MAKE ME HAPPY and I am the Dude with a bit of Zack..haha. I will write more but for now...gotta get to bed for tomorrow. Let us continue to surf within the beauty that is simple in riding waves. PS...that Lee K guy messes with me....can someone step on his foot? To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  13. One of those books that just make me cringe with artistic awesomeness I love 3-D books. I loved the movies in the day wearing the uncomfortable glasses. I just got this back from CGC and it is a very unique book. I have my own thoughts on Kirby and Simon. I feel they are primarily of the DC make. Kirby did his best sense of freedom in DC, in my opinion. Ditko? WOW...his 3rd book he worked on. Pass on the indulgences and pass the drink for beginnings....

  14. I not so funny story. I love Mechanica and the two were both at ECCC 2 years ago. I bought a limited edition Tshirt with the Lady in front of the Space Needle. To make a long story short I had 3 simultaneous strokes and went to the emergency and the nurse cut my shirt off. I was truly not in my head and I said..."I want my shirt back...It is a collectible. Well, as you may assume, I never saw that lovely shirt again
  15. The DC silver age set just posted and I see books from the early to mid fifties in there. The Marvel Silver is contained within 1965 to 1969. Avengers #4 in 1964 is considered an SA of Captain America Perhaps a 10 group cover price a 12 group, 15 etc... The only downfall would be the giant sized but from the era in which it was written would determine if it is a 12 or 15.I have looked it up and still have questions. Can anyone add to this formula so we might get a better understanding of what Silver Age is? If DC is correct then ASM #1 FF #1, Hulk #1, Daredevil, X-Men etc would be considered in this vein of SILVER Pehaps the price on the book should detemine the AGE.I do not think Marvel has any Golden issues as far as FF and the likeFF, ASM and Hulk are 10Daredevil is 12 here is the WIKI which I do not agree withhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Age_of_Comic_BooksTo see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  16. My father read books as a child. He was into DC and also Turok. This book I found a few years ago for the purpose of CGCing the book. He was born in October 1946. I will get this framed before sending it to him for his belated birthday. I think the cover is Very well crafted and to the point. Now to find a great representation of my mother for her birthday coming upA gift as this is more important for the sentiment than the grade itself.

  17. HEAR IS A TEASER I know this man and I call him FRIEND. I am a somewhat private person but HE brings the best out To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  18. Tough book and Black. This is a DC Fandom I have done quite a bit of research on this book and it it likened to any rare Marvel that can even come close....Let's see what rare Marvels can compare to this Gem??

  19. This is the second DC Marvel duo....I believe the first was Wizard of Oz. Gerry Conway writes This book is too large to submit ( please make bigger options CGC) A very cool collectible Nuff said To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
  20. I was a big Comico fan in the day. His Eisner Award. This is an interesting book. I am planning on Art Adams to give this an SS at ECCC and, though ironic, gifted him the Eisner Award for this book with some battles later...interesting...Either way I hope he doesn't rip the book when I ask him to sign it To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  21. I picked this up for my brother (I am giving it a 9.4). I did a little research and there is a mention of Wolverine with drawings by Andy Olsen(?) and it says below WOLVERINE and later the next year... Incredible Hulk #180. We all know that mention. This is a Steranko cover and he is the Editor for the first 4 issues that were mail order only. Can anybody add to this spread on information about Wolverine in this book? If this is unknown and true then this book is a gem. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/12/22/foom-2-the-first-appearance-of-wolverine-in-1973/ To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  22. I have 7 of these books. 2 are worthy of 9.8 A Bill Sienkiewicz cover, Arthur Adams frontpiece, Chris Claremont writing Another ECCC Richard Starkings and Austin and Capullo I dont know if this will be in the Sienk. set but it will if not yet.... Overall, 3 ECCC sigs in March and hoping for Bill again I was a big collector of Bill Sienkiewicz in the 80s and I grabbed at least 3 books when I knew he was involved (in most cases). Another book in waiting for the right moment to get sigs and a very cool book envisioned to SS this con in March To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  23. I just got these back from sending to Kahalo for 3 Neal Adams and 7 Denny O'Neil signatures. The Kamandi is the only 9.8 and it is SS First off, I must say, Kahalo you are a very cool human. I am reluctant to call friends "friends" but you are among them. What I love about this site is that I have been so welcomed to send books to certain individuals for SS cons I would not attend. Kahalos self interest was never there....Very Cool. the books........ Strange Adventures 206 (2nd Deadman Neal 7.5 (dang) Strange Adventures 213 8.5 Neal Tomb of Dracula #1 (bought from Shivabali) Neal SS 9.4 Daredevil #18 (my 2nd from him) Denny O'neil 9.4 Sword of Sorcery 1 (Denny and Chaykin work)........6.5 (WTF?) Sword of Sorcery #3 9.6 Denny SS Sword of Sorcey #4 9.4 Denny SS Sword of Sorcery #5 9.6 Denny SS...a walt Simonson cover Kamandi #47 Another raw book..9.8 SS ( see pic) probably the only Kamandi SS book...dang I loved that series growing up Shazam #1 (cracked the slab) 9.8 SS denny Thank you Kaholo for also trusting me and Cheers to You Mr. Rock Star To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

  24. This is the last issue and from my knowledge Arthur Adams suggested Ann Nocenti to pose on this cover. I thought she was the Spider-Woman but found out later she is posing at the bottom in a Tigra suit.... Ann Nocenti took over the editor position for a time at Marvel after this run of Spider-Woman. This is a definite 9.8 candidate and I am going to have Annie grace this with a signature at ECCC......... PS...doe anyone else get the EBAY feeds from random sellers at the bottom? I don't even collect the books described. Is this advertizing? To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
