  1. +1 DG I have set out to do what has never been done. Buying American books at any price is as easy as clicking the buy it now button I am proud to say I have shown Neal Adams books to sign he drew that he has never seen. Don't get me wrong. I've always liked foreign comics. It's McFarlane and that Spider-man #1 cover that I can't stand. Not wild about Punisher either. DG I probably have foreign keys of the books you like. Haters will hate on McFarlane its all good. Foreign comics are just novelties to me. Being a key doesn't make me like them more or less unless you go back to comics from the 40's or 50's. After all is said and done, they are still reprints. I actually prefer my comics from India that are not reprints of American content and they are in English so I can read them. McFarlane is overrated. Simple as that. He draws cartoon-like expressions and bodies contorted into impossible positions. He's overdramatic with the use of capes and costume accessories. I'm not impressed by any of the artists that formed Image. It's not "hate". I'm completely apathetic towards it. DG Funny you mention 40s or 50s, I just bought a Swedish Batman #1 from 1950. they are novelty for you, but serious collecting for some. To each is their own. McFarlane may be overrated but here you are still talking about him instead of whoever you think is underrated.... I like the Indian comics I have a few i like those too. but back to 1990s hard to find books......
  2. Copper age? no those are Bronze. But i know a few crazy Coppers. The Denmark version of Amazing Spiderman 129 (1993) is insane rare. Only one person has it and i have been looking for almost a year with a $100 offer to dealers with no luck.. Imnot sure of hard to find domestic Copper or Modern books... But i would assume you can find anything Domestic If you can find Amazing Fantasy #15 then you can find anything right?????
  3. Arabic and Australian versions of Batman 227... Zero on the CGC Census and we have not seen any but we know they exist Now those are rare....
  4. Are we referring to how many threads he hit with this same posting or how many different issues he has. Probably both RJRJR!
  5. hm with 3 's I guess you are thinking about what im saying Case in point, I have been offered a ASM129 CGC 9.8 for $7500 and I know 2 more are for sale. Given, there are ONLY 60 total to exist in the Census...therefore quite easy... But, go find a Greek or Brazilian 129 for any price.... The hunt is why we collect the foreigns because they are challlenging where as the US versions prove to be no more than high end call girls for the right price (thumbs u

  9. Amazing I love the title on the Italian edition. l'uomo ragno torment is nice to say. Yeah the Luomo Ragno (Man Arachnid) is pretty neat. There are 5 Luomo Ragno versions of the ASM129.
  10. You think that is bad, you should see my Amazing Spiderman 129 obsession... or my Batman 423 obsession...or my Superman 233 obsession...

  14. I read that on Neal Adams: Renaissance Man Part I though the coding on that site is distracting. But it was interesting to read what happened years later. ================ OFFENBERGER: It must have been hard to do that. ADAMS: Twenty years later Joe Simon sought me out to get advice on how he might handle his character's rights. I sat and talked to him for a half hour in the DC coffee room, gave him names and such. He never realized or remembered I was the kid he talked to all those years ago. Its quite difficult to imagine Neal Adams not being important at one time in the comics world. Im gonna get Neal to sign this book Hopefully you catch him on a good day. I have seen him in person twice. At the Carbo show 2012 he was as nice a guy as anyone you would ever meet. This year I overheard a few people at the beginning of the show say he was acting like an . I saw a couple of things myself that made me roll my eyes and walk away. Maybe he was having an off day and everyone is entitled to those once in awhile. I will what's up again next year. Ive met Neal 3 times one time he was in a bad mood. Everyone has bad days

  16. I was going through a $5 bin of books and found this little gem. This is is Neal Adams first published work drawn when he was 17 years old.... Direct Quote from Neal Adams. Source: http://www.webcitation.org/5lJycKN5e "Adventures of the Fly #4 was my first work, and that panel was printed in a comic book. It probably is one of the greatest collector's items you could get of mine." Mr Adams 1st published work.....

  19. Let me guess - you were just as "friendly" over the phone as you were in this post, right? Btw, tone/mood cannot be interpreted over text, at least not without exclamation points or caps lock. Therefore your comment is ridiculous as it is impossible for you to interpret my "written voice" but thanks for playing. right on Stanley1883, Msschmidt sounds dooshy in protecting CGC even though you paid for a service and did receive it.... Imagine if companies like McDonalds, or Starbucks, or Movie Theatres pulled this... we would not be backing them,,,,
  20. Fast track is running about 6 weeks? I submitted 3/29
  21. Very Cool! If you are into Green Lantern sometihng really cool is the German, Dutch, and Mexican versions of GL76 you should look into...
