I'll take the 161 and the middle 163 please

I don't see any obvious foxing on the picture of 155 posted, but if it’s noted as the 156 duplicate on your list as a 3.5, I’ll take it (the 155).

I’ll take 150 and 154 at 50% off, and what’s the price on 155? I’m interested… is it mislabeled as 156 in your price list?

What a fun thread for window shopping!

Post-of-the-year contender!! That someone would take the time to share their hard-earned knowledge in such a thorough manner speaks volumes…

Weird? Maybe a tad… but do you have any competition?

What a classic cover!

Like Cartman sometimes says “Sweeeettt…”

Pretty esoteric… I’ll take it!

Take all per PM.

Those are nice pick-ups at the price, Kevin.

Says 59, but issue 56 shown.

Having completed my first purchase from Cory, I would have no hesitancy buying from him again. The books were strictly graded and packaged very well.

And as I mentioned above, this may be my priciest purchase at the show. I’ve always wanted this book! I know: I’m an odd bird.

Here’s a group shot of some Thrilling Wonder Stories from the show. A few of these are dupes, but until I get into my boxes (after some digging), I won’t be sure if they’re minor upgrades or slight downgrades!

Echoing the comments of the other Boardies that have already chimed in with their reports and observations, it was an amazing show with mouth-watering artifacts and even more enjoyable camaraderie. The knowledge in that room at any given moment is stupefying. There was something for every budget - for me, I pretty much stayed in bargain mode the whole show. The most expensive thing I believe I bought was a copy of 3-D Dolly for $30. There were enough ten dollar pulps and five dollar(!) comics in the room to keep me in hog's heaven. I'll try to post a few group shots sometime this week. There was so much great original art in the room as well - in one very well-stocked corner there were at least three wonderful Edwin Georgi illustrations alone. Go figure. Plus, I got a chance to sit down and talk to Jim Steranko on Sunday, which was just icing on an already sweet cake.

I'll be there Friday and Saturday as well.

Please add invaders 32 to my longstanding stack.

For me, this is unexpected and terribly sad news. Upon just reading of his passing, I thought to myself how I would characterize his artwork to a layperson. Consider three vastly different artists who I adore mostly because of their work in the silver age. Curt Swan drew in more of a caricature-styled realism perfectly suited for the younger audience of early DC silver age readers. Jack Kirby breached the fantastical, creating new universes, with his heroes seemingly jumping off the page. Everything was imbued with power and a heightened sense of drama. Neal Adams’ artwork was every bit as game-changing, but in a drastically different manner. I can best describe his style as a sort of “kinetic realism,” for want of a better term. Neal didn’t draw static images: everything was drawn as if it was in motion, just like the stories he illustrated. His facial expressions were rendered beyond compare (Andrew Loomis level actually), and his anatomical prowess was every bit as skillful. He was gifted with a repository of incredible natural talent, and, as others have stated, left us with one of the most enduring legacies in comicdom. He will be both missed and forever revered.
