I think there should be a discount for anyone who went to or bought the DVD for Wonder Woman 84. An extra discount for anyone who managed to watch the entire movie.

Wascally Wabbits!

Gardner Fox Robert Kanigher Harvey Kurtzman Marv Wolfman Denny O'Neil (that's todays list...I'll probably want to change it up later {but will refrain}.

I have about 40 of the artist editions (yeah, I know...crazy). I use a Dymo Lectra Tag to make side labels. Pretty inexpensive device and the refill paper is really cheap (doesn't use ink...the paper reacts to the pressure). I've been using the device for about 15 years now.

Out 'picking' this Sunday and picked up this group. Mostly British Marvels (early to mid 70's) with some pence copies Marvels and some pence stamped DC's. First time (and I have been doing this for a few years) that I have picked up this big of a group of British comics (a random copy turns up from time to time, I do live in Southern California so you never know what will show up on the shoreline). A fun and certainly unexpected find. I suspect that whomever they originally belonged to brought their collection with them from overseas. Of course that is just speculation.

Absolutely. As an example of what you have stated, I thought I would attach a couple images of an original art story that has Swan pencils only (never published from the mid 50's)

So true...I am a huge fan of his Fox work as well.

Kirby (after this entry in no particular order) Kamen Everett Wood Baker Runner up: Swan Ask me tomorrow and the line up may change...! (so hard to leave Wrightson off this list!)

Perfect transaction with Ed. I appreciated his promptness, professionalism and patience with a noob like me. Yeah, and I like the comic as well! Thanks!

Simon and Kirby

I am a Warren Kremer Harvey Comics art lover, so I was excited when this early (1963) Hot Stuff cover was offered to me by a fellow CAF member. Yup, it's a good day for me.

I will take it

Here is my ticket stub to the club. This one has been sitting in a box since I got it back in '89 from Jon Warren (some of you golden oldies may remember him). When I pulled it out of the box the old sticker price fell off of the mylar. It reminded me of the low 2 digit price I paid for it then, which seemed to be a lot at the time.

In case anyone was interested... Here's an example of Stan Lee editing a Jack Kirby story. Lee asked the production person(s) to 'switch' the panels. I believe the blue marker is Lee, as it is written directly over the barely visible Kirby pencil notes (which give the story direction). This is a four pager from Rawhide Kid # 43 entitled 'The Brass Buttons Kid' and is credited collaboration to both Lee and Kirby (not writer and artist as was often done during this time period - 1963). Makes me think that this story was a quick filler story idea, plotted and drawn by Kirby, then turned over to Lee for the dialogue. I'll let you make the decision on whether or not the editing is effective. While I agree that it makes some sense, it shows Brass Buttons with his gun still in his waistband (panel 2) while the panel before (panel 1) clearly shows him shooting at the antagonist.

Inspired by @ThothAmonI am posting this one. My one and only Plumpet. Someday, I hope to have another (because like M&M's, one is not enough).

I'm not going to say that George Roussos (as George Bell) butchered Kirby's pencils, but I really disliked the way that he inked him on Fantastic Four, Sgt. Fury and others around the same period.

Swan pencils, Colletta inks. Batman Family # 7

Arrived in the mail yesterday. This is the original Jack Kirby cover art for True Bride-To-Be Romances # 17 (Harvey Comics). The original published art was produced by taking a photo and creating a larger stat of the couple and placing it over the existing art (as seen in my second pic...I just placed the stat close...) Having a Kirby romance cover is pretty special for me. I believe that these are Jack's inks over his pencils but I may be wrong on that. Either way...yowza!

Two different eras of Jack Kirby Romance pencils.

"Isn't it a shame..." "Clearly improved..." This advertisement for these 'products' is clueless, arrogant, and sickening. What are these people thinking or is that giving them too much credit? They could have chosen another way to advertise their product, but instead they chose this route. Very sad.

How did the Blackhawks get in those covid spheres? Cool book.

In addition to lbcolefans posted cover, I thought I might augment it with this. The art is the only thing that still existed, and I recreated (amateurishly) the stats and logos (they're not attached...I placed them on the art for the picture just for fun)

Love it. I now have to put it on my list (I have never seen it before and for a Kirby Romance fan....outstanding!) Thanks, D.L.

I consider all of my personal collection books to be keepers. Even though some of them are a bit scruffy, it was hard enough to find some of these then to wait for a great copy, even when they were cheaper a number of years back. I had to get the ones I wanted, and nowadays I would rather add a comic I don't have in my collection than to chase after a great copy (and spend a small fortune)...bird in the hand sort of thing, I guess. These are some of my personal favorites.

It took me a lot of years to find a copy of All Top 16. That is a keeper for sure. Beautiful book.
