  1. My Thor Marvel 3rd Eye is now consigned with Bedrock City. It'll be at SDCC this week. Mint poster simply framed with a black mat in a black frame, behind protective Artglass (a premium glass product by Groglass).
  2. a few paperbacks slabbed in May 2023 in this week's HA LOVE the back cover combo spine shot don't love how HA is listing the paperbacks. They'll feed a digest title (specifically Picture Digest from '56) into the pulp section by alpha, but the paperbacks are listed in the main body of comics books by title alpha. They should run with the pulps/digests. imho
  3. aint nothing like the real thing, baby aint nothing like the real thing
  4. A masterpiece. A perfect representation of the genre, on so many different levels. When I was talking to Heshka about doing a romance homage, for me it was between two books and only two books. Cinderella Love 25 and ... Girls' Love 66.
  5. Here's one that could be dismissed as utterly absurd, much less unpopular. The ranking of influential artists must consider their acumen as businessmen or women. Kirby plummets. Cole ascends. Eisner tops them all.
  6. kneepads? cosplay supes No mistake here - when Gunn is done, Supes will just be some guy with yellow sun unearned privilege. Not the gravitas portrayed by Cavill scripted by Snyder as the man who has to choose who gets to be saved and who dies - brilliantly displayed by the Pa Kent sacrifice and the Zod decision
  7. I'll see if there's some other gateway drug book that'll do you before we leave this topic, here's another other rainy day scene - but it's foul news to go along with the foul weather DC - Desires Crushed
  8. The Christine Farrell DC auction coming to HA will be something. Could it possibly have decent romance? Unlikely, for girls just never kept those books. But hope springs eternal. And one thing's for sure - the gold and silver will be there in their complete completed majestic runs. Bronze too if that's your huckleberry.
  9. So I was on the phone talking to Inaflash about this book and it occurs to me - I love this book. The red title, the red coat, the red lipstick, the red fingernails, the black building, the yellow lit windows, her blonde hair and eye shadow that match his jacket color. The composition, the theme, and his anonymity makes it all about her and her love. I've never seen a better copy of this book since I bought it from Gary Carter in 1997. It's a real tour de force for early silver DC romance, and I would know. Romance is a bit of a joke in ways, but the truth is it's also a very difficult subject matter for a comic book artist to draw competently. It requires a versatility that many could not do. It's a little embarrassing, but I'm pulling it. Excelsior!
  10. thanks man I forgot to mention that. And by highest we mean only. On Ebay, MCS has a beat to hell Fair for $83 obo, for comparison.
  11. well you might be after you see this book! Falling in Love #17 3.0 OWW $235 you're saying - are you ill, Dr. Love? that much for a 3.0? but hold up, friends. I love a technical 3.0 that presents more like an 8.0 and that's this book - spine splits and detached bottom staple. Keep it in the case and you'll never know the difference. But what's different is the price - if this were a high grade I'd ask (and I'd pay) $750 for it hands down. Because it's a dark night rain scene, and those are the best covers imho and done rarely in the hundreds and hundreds of DC romance covers. It's a happy, heartwarming romance cover of two lovers joyfully united. Believe me when I tell you, for DC, you can count this type of cover on the fingers of two hands. When it comes to romance, DC was the House of Pain - tears flowed like water! or like rain! And did I mention it's a black cover with a red title? No interesting but annoying thought balloons?? so let's do it. Let's Fall(ing) in Love!
