Soooo true. You'd need a magnifying glass to read the eclipse series. But the editorials are cool

Im the only odd one here. I love books like Dazzler 1, Alpha Flight 1, X-Factor 1... Been buying tons of NM copies when they came my way for dirt cheap (yup, I bought 300 copies of Dazzler 1 from Koch Warehouse some 4 years ago for $100, they all ended up being error editions). If you have the patience youd sub the best ones, or simply list them for $10-20 and sell them slowly, theres a great market for those books, and although most gave up on specing on them, just look how well New Mutants #1, Punisher #1 (solo), and Spawn #1 did while they were selling for equal prices years ago. I shy away from specing on books that have already broke the 20+ barrier which are over printed. You simply dont know where they will go and at $20+ a pop thats kinda risky for me. Wanna laugh? just look how much Alpha Flight #1 9.8 closed a couple of days ago https://www.ebay.com/itm/Alpha-Flight-1-CGC-9-8-White-pgs-1st-app-Puck-and-Marrina-Byrne-c-20681/362440680029?epid=85470705&hash=item546325e25d:g:jKUAAOSwK9lbpRk4 And on an average youd get 80-130 for it. Now thats a book I love to invest in!

Wasn't Nova #8 a $40 book once because of Cosmo the dog?

1977. Both Byrne's deliver:

Frazetta & Art Adams are hands down my 2 favorites. Not just for technique and style but also for inspiring so many others

Its a toss between Milgrom and Klaus Jansen. Both of which has inked Art Adams in the late 80s

If Mcfarlane is in that list so should Art Adams & Mike Golden. Although Mcfarlane copied the heck out of AAdams spidey, golden is responsible for the famous spaghetti web

For 5 bucks do u want him to press it for ya too?? just kidding.. congrats on the great win and thank god it got in safe!

To me these will always be iconic

Yup. Stan's net worth at 50 m is probably an indication that he isn't the business shark that most people claim him to be. His name/legacy coupled with his creations would suggest he'd be worth at least 7-10 times that

Absolutely. I am yet to see a Warrior 1 or a Deadline 1 in 9.8 heck I would even be happy with a 9.4 at this point

I remember reading somewhere that the main credit for the marvel universe belongs to Stan's wife. The rumor was that she was a big spender and if it wasn't for her excessive shopping habits Stan wouldn't have the need to create so many characters and sell so many books

The only thing that seem to have climbed recently was Warrior #1. But that obviously has V in it as well

Maybe it's kind of like Tick #13

I would always come across them in random collections even after they would be cleaned up. So I'd scoop them and list for 10-15$ and wait a couple of months till I get a bite thats the best way for me to describe this book

What year did it come out

That is strange. I don't know how many books there are in the series but I do remember issue 1 being a major player back in the 80s b&w boom

This was at Ban Mea Pu Ka temple in San Kamphaeng You guys have a beautiful country

Where did I say that he didn't have money to pay? you perfectly interpreted my assumption. That nobody including his siblings paid his rent, and that probably includes other bills/debt as well. Which tells me that they either weren't too close to him, or had access to his money while he was in the hospital. Yet another sign of how isolated he was from his close family On another note, if his heirs (whoever that will end up being) gets ahold of his belongings and starts liquidating them for monetary gains, you may end up seeing a flood of Ditko work/personal notated work on the market very quickly. I know that Ditko's signature for one were very hard to come by. Wonder if that will change now

I'm still waiting for 2016 to join the cbcs forum! cant wait!! https://www.cbcscomics.com/forum

first of all am I the only one that sits here reading this thinking to myself "1.3 million? That's all???" most of my family is from NY and sadly we lost a few relatives in the past year alone and each one of them left behind estates worth at least a million. And that is only because of equity relating to their property. Steve's sad story is mainly originating from the fact that he didn't have anything. Not because he was pushed around by savvy businessmen. He did not own a house, didnt have a spouse/children. Didn't even leave a will. So sad You'd be surprised to know how many people wait until the last minute to set a will. That usually leaves relatives/family members at a very awkward position. The article said that steve owed 6 mo worth of rent. What about bills/debt? I wouldn't be surprised if his siblings would refuse to accept his "estimated" estate, if his unpaid bills accumulate to 50,000+ common sense would suggest that they should, but some people just don't have the time to dedicate to probating a will which wasn't even set forth. Again, just a sad read, and with respect to the legend, I almost wish I didn't have to read this

It's rain season here and honestly I've seen more rain in NY this summer than here in the past week I've been here. Way more rain.

Totally. The temples here are fabulous and rich with sacred artifacts. This was at the back end, where families get to sit with their children after walking the temple so they chose to use spidey and a space ranger as gong carriers. Quite flattering if you're asking me

I stopped by a local temple in Chiang Mai and just had to share this with y'all
