Mister_Comics

Ian. Just discovered your back.

We exchanged comic info years ago. Don't know if remember me. Great accomplishment btw, good for you.

Question: When did you start collecting comics? Around what year?

From a recent thread...

On the television show LOST Mystery Tales #40 can be seen in one episode.

Recent addition...

On the TV show BONE you can see Green lantern #33 on one episode. Comic looks to be a prop because back add is different.

I wonder why the background was draped?

Right side starting with the top going down. Captain Marvel Adventure #79, Batman #43, and Joe Palooka #15.

The degree of clarity and dynamic range do not match the rest of the image.

 

Why would anyone do this? Fantasy gratification. You see it a lot with fake celebrity porn.

 

I've actually had dreams of exactly this situation, going back in time with a bunch of mercury dimes and hitting the newstands. Seeing these photos certainly scratches that itch in a pleasurable way.

 

Here's a simple Photoshop tip for anyone trying to decipher muddy or dark images, for example trying to ID comics that are mostly in shadow:

 

Image/Adjust/Levels/drag the midrange slider to the left until the image becomes readable.

 

This will likely destroy the appearance of the image in many ways, but will also potentially reveal some surprising detail. The data has to be there in the first place, a block of absolute 100% black will never gain new detail, but very often things *look* to be 100% black but are not and contain useful detail that needs to be enhanced to become visible.

always good to hear from a professional... I tried levels but dont see anything out of the ordinary. Did you see something here or just suggesting the possibility?

 

 

After looking this photo over for a while now. I find one thing strange about the comics hanging by clothpins. Everything ine the room has a glare for either outside light or a flash. I suspect flash. But the comics hanging don't show any sign of a flash glare or reflection from outside light. The photo has the most clearest sharpmest I've seen in a old photo. I can litterly unlarge and read the labels on the cigar boxes. A amazing photo. Never seen such clarity in an old photo like this before. but the hanging comics sure are suspect. I down know why anyone would spend time to do it though.

i must have missed it cause i didn't see any stored comics. just the slabs you we're holding.

They are in individual hanging folders in the file cabinets. Each comic in its Mylar or polybag.

Thanks for the kind words all. Building model kits is one of my favorite hobbies next to comic collecting.

What did you all think of my way of storing comics. Good? Bad? Any suggestions?

I have a room full of file cabinets. Each cabinet has comics in it. Each comic is within a hanging folder. These are all comics original bought off the shelf. You can see a bit of my comic room in the attached link above. The link is to the MONSTER MODEL REVIEW, another hobby of mine. Check it out and see some of what I have built. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.

Isn't that all the covers to the Official Marvel Universe Handbook Deluxe edition put together?

Yes it is.

On the television show YES, DEAR the grandpa (actor Tim Conway) collects comics, and dresses as Superman sometimes. Comics are shown once in a while. Also action figures. I remember seeing a old PLASTIC MAN comic on one episode.

BUMBING UP!
