  9. Hawkgirl in Arrow/Flash spinoff TV show I think. The Midway City Easter eggs in Suicide Squad movie that are coming out are quite interesting also. If done right, I think Hawk family characters/storylines would look awesome on the big screen.
  10. I picked one up recently because I've always wanted one. It is so expensive already in higher grade that I picked up a nice midgrade that will look good enough for my collection. In terms of 'exploding' I'm never too sure about '1st silver age appearance' when it isn't a true character first appearance.
  11. Nice analysis and it makes a lot of sense. Several dealers I've talked to at the bigger shows over the last several years speak of this--everything being about keys and few people putting runs together. Personally, the thought of putting a full run together of almost any silver age book is a thrill...but I've been told that outside of ASM and a couple of others there just aren't many people doing it anymore.
  12. Awesome. I was a DD reader back when it was less 'cool' than now also. I loved the underdog vibe and the tortured soul portrayal--when most of my friends were buying as much X-Men as they could in the 90s I was going back and putting storyline runs together (Nocenti, Miller, JRJR). They are among the most well read books in my collection.
  13. You should wait until later when the price has doubled. I really think now is the time as opposed to later. When Batman v Superman goes insano and the real JL movie talk hits, I think this and some other relatively undervalued DC keys will skyrocket so high they will need a stewardess on them. Just my opinion (and no I'm not trying to sell any )
  14. I wonder why places like c-link don't report
  15. Very honest seller--tight grading, books well packed, and shipped fast. I'd buy from Brent again for sure. Thanks!
  16. Picked up some books from Royce and they were beautiful and accurately graded. Shipped fast and packed well. I would definitely buy from again. Thanks!

  19. What a great transaction I had with Andy! Really, really nice books, tightly graded, and packed very well. Won't hesitate to buy again.
  20. I bought a couple of really nice statues from Hector. I'm local so he even went out of his way to meet with me to save on shipping cost and hassle. Great guy and great to deal with!
  21. Bought a nice Ms. Marvel from Dan. Nice book, packed well, and shipped fast. Recommend!
  22. Bought a high grade silver age 1st appearance from Gambit, and what a GREAT transaction it was. Book was stunning, exactly as described, and was packed very well and shipped quickly. Don't hesitate to buy from him!
  23. Bought a Ms Marvel 1 from Meeklo--awesome book, shipped fast, packed safe. Would def buy from again!
