From my wife,

1 Iron Fist acrylic painting on canvas commissioned from my brother, and inlaid in a plexiglass hanging frame

2 Double page splash/spread featuring the Fantasticar from X4 by Pat Lee

3 Vintage Batman wall light (with original box)

Not pictured USS Enterprise blue tooth speaker, Batman Lego app controlled Batmobile, and Propel x-wing fighter drone (all from my son)

Not the one I am looking for, would have been published in 2001 or 2002. 

Have I stumped the collective knowledge of the CGC boards?

Looking for the issue # of the Deadpool where he sings Barbie World. I have looked and haven't had any luck. Thanks

I think I'm set on the shelves. Next question. I need a work space. I guess looking around a "craft table" seems like what I'm looking for as that would also give me a place to store supplies. Or just a high dining room type table. Thoughts? Here are a few things I saw online that look like options. 

 

The second work table plans are available on Ana-white.com. I made one for my wife to use as a sewing/ embroidery and craft table. Works great for her. I never thought about it as a comic table but it would work well for sorting, bagging and such.

I had both on the same day, best deal and biggest miss. Went to a yard sale in central New York in June 2012.

Win: got amazing Spider-Man 298, 299 and 300 along with New Mutants 98 for $25 all in 9.4 to 9.6 condition

Miss: only had $40 disposable cash at the time otherwise would have gotten the entire collection which included Iron Man 55, Amazing Spider-Man 20 and Silver Sufer 1. A good 7 long boxes which I probably could have gotten for $600

Win some, lose some

I thought it was dead around here cause they killed pay it forward (the PIF). I miss that thread. 

I still check other threads like Got a comic room (the reason I joined) comic spinners and the yard sale flea market thread.

I do peruse the sales thread and what hot in current and and copper thread occasionally 

172 out of 260(66%) only because I ran out of time would have got another 20-30 easy, lowest character I did get was Sabra

See, learn something new every day! I didn't know back covers were a thing. Maybe because I always see ads on the back. I am aware of wrap around covers and connecting covers like tryptich covers but would think those get kinda pricey.

Thats one of the few I know I need, a title page , yours is fantastic, I love that it credits Peter David (favorite writer). 

I generally keep to pieces which appeal to me based on the book, artist or character. Although I didn't follow the Chaos War (Marvel), a Thor character piece was on my want list so I got the page and then bought and read the book. That being said there is nostalgia in some works that outweigh this, such as the dead world piece you have posted. Which is fantastic by the way. It would contradict my first statement.

David NewBold is credited with the inks on issues 1-5, 11 and 12. If they are 11x17 it's very possible these are original pencil and ink pages. If so congrats, early Runaways OA pages are a great score given the HULU show about to start.

I am not new the boards nor collecting OA, but I do have a question. 

What are the types of original art most people are looking for?

My wife would like to buy me OA for Christmas, and I have small collection that already includes:

an original cover,

double page splash,

double page spread,

full page splash,

pencil only page,

inks over blue line page,

2 pages on one board page,

an overlay page,

a commissioned page,

A recreation page (cover)

a preliminary art page,

a twice up page ( I believe)

a bronze, copper and modern pages

and an end page.

I also have pages with paste ups and inked word balloons. I have OA from my favorite artist (Gary Frank) and with my favorite character (Iron Fist). I also have a convention sketch book. 

On my list to get is a title page splash, a silver and possibly a golden age page

Are there any other types of pages I am missing? 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I do have a list of artists I am looking for but would like to address page types at this time.

This is my comic spinner now that it's  80% loaded with comic in Mylite2s and fullbacks. 

1st row is comics that I have original art from, most interior and 1 cover,  I have others and will likely rotate them out.

2nd row are comics signed, most personally (2 are DF signed) again I have others, some displayed on the wall including the Amazing 700 skyline I am  currently getting signatures on)

3rd row is some of my favorite read comics (this does not include books I have displayed elsewhere or that are only slabs like Killing Joke and Sandman 8)

4th row is cover dated July 1984. Books that were on the newsstand and spinner rack when I started collecting. Only had  2 on hand will get down to the LCS soon and fill this row up.

This week I received from my wife, The Tick (V1) issues 1 thru 13 all in high grade. And the comic spinner rack listed in The Who's got a comic spinner rack thread

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the significance of the Eternal Warrior comic?

I am also curious about the Eternal Warrior issue, can someone elaborate?

Got this today from from my wonderful wife, been wanting one for years. Four row of 10 slots. 4 categories will be: signed, books which I have original art, June 1984 cover date and personal favorites 

While antiquing in Wytheville VA, came across this 1966 Batman Thermos, glass insert is still intact overall condition is very good.

The green and gold book (Iron Fist costume colors) the folded logo and the fact she knew and cared enough to know my favorite character. She is awesome

For our anniversary my wife commissioned a folded book for me for my comic room. Green leather bound with gold leaf tipped pages. It turned out fabulous, she had an engraved copper plate riveted to the cover. It is cooler than words and even the pictures can describe. The thought, time and effort she put into it shows in the final product and I love her for it!

I think the creative team gets a couple months to figure out what they want to do! Maybe process some of the Internet feedback and buzz surrounding the event. Logically it should be Glenn, fan favorite, on the show since day one. Would silence some of the critics (like USA today life) that say the show won't kill off a tier 1 character. Abraham is also a possibility, but I think slightly less likely. Anyone else except Daryl would be outside the probable and likely cheapen the event and hurt the show. Nothing against Eugene, Aaron or the others.

Picked up this weekend at Wizard World Cleveland
