  1. I had a second print and should've kept it instead of literally giving it away.. In all honesty I much rather hold on to moderns nowadays instead of moving them for a few bucks to save space as this is something we see more and more of lately
  2. This happened in 1999, when he wasn't worth anything remotely close to a million.. a friend of a friend told me that this purchase was financed by his wife
  3. The value of a 1st appearance doesn't work in this example when compared to Elfquest. It never did in the past either. But sales numbers do. Elfquest outperformed every indie book in the past in terms of published numbers. Over 15 millions books sold, licensed by 3 other publishers, being a NYTimes top selling book multiple times and an incredible line of merchandise has always put Elfquest on top of the competition. Much more so in the 80s than later. Elfquest's success was the inspiration for all the indie books that followed, every independently own creator/publisher wanted to hit the jackpot like Wendy & Richard did. That of course had changed when TMNT entered the scene, but the fans of Elfquest never left the book even then. In terms of sales on the secondary market, Elfquest books/items outperform cerebus books/items by large numbers, with the exception of issue 1 which is still without a doubt one of the major indie grails sought by any serious comic collector
  4. Exactly. Another thing is that Elfquest is actually STILL selling well. Just not to the current collectors market. And my gut tells me that if history will repeat itself with the indies, it will happen in the same order it started. With Elfquest first
  5. No one can predict the future or how a book/ character will play out. I belong to the never-cerebus'ers debate, but if you think that it wouldn't make a comeback if not only based on its significant history with the indie market you're sadly mistaken. I just think it will happen first with Elfquest
  6. Eternals still selling like hotcakes. I guess its good to have Bronze this month
  7. So both 682 & 515 deluxe are plain black with the cover embossed? thank you for that information
  8. Thank you Mysterio. This looks AMAZING as the predominant black cover extenuates the DCU logo. Added to my list immediately!!
  9. Get it graded. If I'm not mistaken CGC will grade the highest cover (I know they do that with double covers, not sure how they'll treat a higher cover count) but if that is correct and it is a NM copy than your chances of getting a 9.8 are actually quite high. If you do get a 9.8 on this you could get up to several hundreds for this as this random non key book demonstrates
  10. What in the hell is that black cover? Is it just a bad angle of a flash 100 holo cover or something I missed out on
  11. It depends if you wanna pass by him or bye him
  12. I usually have my woodgod handy when I meet strippers at the bar
  13. Chuck Row - Making it rain since nineteen seventy fow
  14. Pic taken by cameraman after making the same observation
  15. When you're ripping off the planet and u no longer care if you're butt naked posing for a photo op for your multi million company at 65
  16. Thats more like as if I googled Batman and got the Joker pic instead
  17. Speaking of algorithm, why is it that when I google Edgar Church I get a pic of Chuck?
  18. In a related dream, Kav met Edgar Church at Church's Chicken and took a selfie with him
  19. I havent ordered from him since the 80s but that sure would be interesting to read
  20. Just when you think movie rumor/spec is dead, something like Eternals happen. Im not hating or supporting, just reflecting. I understand (not really, more like came to terms with) when theres a rumor about a movie, then hype, and the cover just happens to have a variant by a hot artist and theres some sort of speculation on print run. This... This is just an abomination Again, Im not hating on Eternals fans, or Kirby fans. I have a copy listed on eBay, so Im not bitter. But this is definitely a weird one
  21. The month before he actually thought there was a chance it would be big and he believed the Batman movie will flop because of Keaton... Looks like comic book speculating wasnt his only weak field
  22. Looks like someone beat you to it https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-Comics-ADVENTURES-OF-SUPERMAN-Mar-1995-521-HTF-Rare-DCU-VARIANT-Ships-FREE/292460073439?hash=item4417fa91df:g:fpEAAOSwDZlaj3Zf Unlessss.... Nah... Cant be...
