It's been two years since I had any books on display. I was finally given permission to bring the bookshelf in from the garage. It's in the living room now which is different. I'll see them more than I would in the bedroom but I'm a little worried about things getting bumped into. Direct sun won't be an issue and I'll probably put the comics away when I'm not at home.

And my cats love my books. Gotta keep them off the shelves. 

  Hide contents

In any case, it's a very exciting day!

Permission? From who? Your parents?

Now that I think of it, Action and Detective had a lot of good artists as well. Curt Swan, though more of a cartoonist than an "illustrator" was an excellent comic book artist. His run on Action Comics is one of the longest, if not the longest, run of any artist on any comic. Byrne, Kubert, and other notables also worked on the title, but none with the same impact as Swan. Detective had loads of excellent doses, though none dominated the title Swan dominated Action, or Kirby on FF, or Romita on ASM. Detective had Neal Adams, Michael Kaluta, Frank Robbins, Jim Aparo, MR. Giordano, Marshall Rogers, Walt Simonson (though not his best work), and many others.

Agreed regarding Detective. I would add that it also had a nice long run by Norm Breyfogle, a personal fav of mine. As well as shorter, but memorable runs by Alan Davis and Todd McFarlane.

In my opinion, Marvel has enough money to make their comics and republish them. On the other hand, DC probably doesn't want to waste time or money. As for artists, there was simply no normal search for specialists, there is not a single person who would like to become a comic book artist (well, of course from those who can draw).

Welcome to the boards. Your post sounds like it was written by a bot. Are you a bot?

Did you guys see that the Haslab Dragonfly hit all it's stretch goals?

will be going thru this car case next week 

I have a similar case filled with Hot Wheels "Crack Ups" from the '80s, along with some Marvel-themed Hot Wheels that a have a little window in the back that you can look in to see a little comic scene inside. No idea of their worth or what to do with them.

Founds these in a little zip baggie how about these items? I think the first group is Buck Rodgers but does anyone know if the orange pieces go with them and how about the other two guys with the swords? Working on the Hoth playset next 

Vintage Clash of the Titans.

Christmas arrived early!

Awesome. My LCS should have mine soon. Let us know what you think.

I would go with there is a creator, nothing new under the sun, and such isn't a meaningless set of circumstances because that I believe that there IS a freedom of choice.

If some things are set in motion I must believe that though I'd like the credit or to someway be involved, I am very circumstancial to the Jehovah Adonai Christ Jesus that somehow made the correct initiative on my behalf. So while my "choice" may seem inconsequential it is something that the i Am that told Moses in me must bear record for choosing.

Such is life. 

I struggle to understand your posts. Not just this one. Do you speak like you write?

You guys probably already knew this but I think it's neat that Jack Adler was Howard Stern's cousin.

The chain of miniature skulls makes practical sense as his other bandolier has only 7 rounds (I think those are shells, but I don't know why they have brass on either end.  Must be some futuristic special ammunition)

He's going to impale himself with those pointy knives if he tries to stand up straight or walk.

We also wear a toque and balance a long box against a 6 pack of Canadian beer while riding a horse thru the snow on the frozen tundra of Canada while listening to Celine Dion on a Sony Walkman.

That's gotta be worth at least a loonie or a twoonie, right?

It's got a visible chevron on the forehead, so this is definitely Ratchet. 

D'oh! I didn't notice that.

So far they've announced 3 out of the 5 members of the initial Autobot team. They are Optimus Prime, Arcee, and Cliffjumper was revealed this morning. Of the two remaining, one is absolutely Wheeljack, and the other has to be Ratchet, despite that being a tad redundant.

Anyone have any thoughts on thst lineup? 

Here's the image we have so far:

Could that possibly be Iron Hide and not Ratchet? They have the same shape in toy form.

Advise, does anyone have this book and is it worth the price? $234.00 I do like the facsimile copy that comes with it.

https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/marvel-the-golden-age.html

They have others also.

 

I have personally found these volumes to be a bit redundant, so I have not taken the plunge. Curious to hear other thoughts/opinions on these.

Drives. Me. Crazy. Still, happy the book is finally out.

I've commented on this numerous times in the past. My OCD and I trying our best to deal with it since we don't have a choice.

Wow, Jesse Custer became the Punisher??

I kid! It's a super cool book (and I'm a huge Preacher fan) - I feel like Dillon just always has one face he draws...

That's actually exactly what I always liked about Dillon's Punisher. He never smiles. He never looks scared. He literally never changes expression. He always has that disgusted look on his face like he just stepped in dog poo.

I can't imagine how immense that would be, but I'd absolutely be all over it!

I picture it being huge, but not unattainable. Kinda like that Super7 Thundertank in size, which to me looks a bit like a big plastic coffee table.
