So I recently discovered facebook live comic sales. It runs the spectrum. Sometimes you see books going for crazy money and sometimes below what you would expect. But you can clearly see in auction situations people just getting caught up in the moment. Nothing new I guess.

Original art for that just sold recently for 12K. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-Vampirella-Sad-Wings-of-Destiny-1-Original-Art-Joe-Jusko-Oil-Painting-/254820085679?nma=true&si=IagjADBW2AsoILk4ZWyLwZM9Dc8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It was Ellie who hated it (Frank's wife). She thought it was sacrilegious and refused to let him hang it on the wall.

Nice haul!!!

No doubt stimulus money is helping on the 2K range of books. But it sure as heck isn't having an impact on big dollar books.

Real KISS blood is probably 95% drugs and alcohol.

Picked this up from Bottleneck.

This guy has 5 posts and every one of them have weird links in them. Something smells rotten.

I see something like this and think I don't care if they slab a million books a day. If QC can't catch something as basic as this it is a total failure. Assuming there is some kind of list QC has (I know, I'm making a big leap here) matching the label to the book would be #1 on the list. So the book either did not go through QC or whoever was doing QC should be immediately fired for not doing the most basic part of their job.

I don't think the scans are saying very much.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he wouldn't tell us if it was.

Picked up this sweet book today and it got me thinking maybe we should have a dedicated thread for these beauties.

Very nice.

Its one of my favorite movies. I have the extended cut and watch it regularly.

Thanks.

Some facebook live show. Totally random.

Finally got around to picking this up.

I honestly didn't know much about the Green Lantern/Green Arrow book as I was drawn in by the Frazetta book. But doing a bit of quick searching that is really nice. Very happy!!!

A few recent acquisitions.

Got my prize from @Blastaar Very happy to have these in my collection. Thanks!!

Wasn't sure where to post this. RIP Julie Strain. Enter Julie Strain. Julie came to the part with a huge history of red-hot films, wearing the well-earned crown as the“Queen of the B-Movies.” Julie Strain brought her already-sizeable fan base to the ranks of the Vampirella fandom, making Vampirella’s devoted legions even bigger and better than ever. Ms. Strain went on to appear on over a dozen different Vampirella covers. She became so popular that Harris Comics launched an exclusive commemorative comic devoted solely to Julie Strain, aptly titled the Vampirella Presents Julie Strain special. Julie’s contribution to the Vampirella legacy was not confined to just modeling—she \was also the first model to work both sides of the camera! From her professional photography studio in the Hollywood hills, Julie brought forth three of her gorgeous protégés to don the Vampirella costume, with Julie herself taking the pictures. With a publishing empire, a popular website, a library of blockbuster films, and a burgeoning stable of emergent new talent, Julie Strain is truly a hard act to follow—in Julie’s own words, “ she rocks.” So what does a new Vampirella model have to live up to? The thirty-year legacy left by some of the finest actresses and models, plus the expectations of fans who have followed the character since their earliest days. Being the new Vampirella model for the 21st century will be no easy task, but if she’s anything like those who have gone before, she’ll do just fine.

Thank you sir. Got lucky on a facebook live sale for most of the eerie pubs.
