Shadow

Bought this on impulse pretty cheap as I like the 100 Pagers and Giant Size books. Hard to see in the scans but has non-color breaking ripples in the spine. Not sure how that effects the grade? Not sure if the glue bindery is considered a defect? 

Thanks for the input

My bad. I didn't read the entire thread! It was fun while it lasted and I know the hard work everyone used to put in. 

Bumping back up

Always fun! I’m in

Sent my Raffle Prize today. 

Thanks to all who put this together! Great time to spread our joy of the hobby. Here's to a great 2021!

Thanks to Dan aka @Shadow for the generous Christmas gift. My very first graded magazine, a very cool print and some excellent reading material. My best Christmas present this year.

Glad you liked them! Love the Creepy cover

#17. Nice! Form in

HOS 92. Came close this year but got two other grails instead

I remember buying it at drug store. Was unique at time but I was only 13. No historical context

Here's one of me in 1976 wearing a Captain America shirt at the recently opened Great America in Gurnee IL -- with Yosemite Sam to boot.

I went there around 1981. You could see it in the distance from my aunts condo

One of my favorites. Best Bond.

If i had to get super duper critical I would say Thanos upper lip does make him look old and his head is too round, and the silver surfer jaw is a bit large.  But that is serious nit picking-I could do the same to Kneel Atoms.

No Surfer. Lol Absorbing Man

Closest I got to Right Son was Jeff Jones

Nice!

Thanks. I struggle with selling them. But I’ll probably include a print in my Holiday Raffle prizes. Sometimes people enjoy them. 

I’m in

I see some George Perez influence in this.  But who would you say your influences are?

Always liked Perez and probably influenced me. Mix in Byrne and Adams as favorites as well. I love Wrightson but have struggled to develop his “flow” and shadows. Growing up I used to try and recreate many of these artists pictures. Big John Buscema is probably mixed in as well. Loved Conan as a kid.

Loki and Kang my favorite-and the fact he lined up circles in Cap's shield perfectly-not easy.

Thanks. I realized this picture wasn’t the final version. Added some more details before I sent it to printer. I was happy with Loki it’s those horns can be tricky.

Micronauts.  Although 2 issues have some value in 9.8, the rest are not.  This was the series that got me hooked into comics.  The first 12 issues were one epic story; I was kind-of disappointed when they came to earth early on; I thought adventures in the Microverse were super-cool.

I then got into the heyday of X-Men and Michael Golden left Micronauts and the magic was gone.

Amen

I’m relatively happy. My focus does have the completionist curse. I tend to like 1970’s era. Late 70’s was when I started. DC and Marvel. Glad I stopped buying new books 5 years ago. Was just filling space.
