  1. Daredevil was one of the hottest non-Image titles going at that time. The prologue to Fall from Grace a couple issues earlier was the hot book in the run. I always missed it, and still haven't found one to complete the story. Smart stories and cool art
  2. Damn, both rooms now! I have a hard enough time getting through the one room in 5 hrs. They will have to make it a 2-day show!
  3. Nice books, safely packed. Thanks, Jason.
  4. Might sound extreme but have you ever considered a table saw? With a sharp new blade I've cut plexiglass nicely and thought it might work with slabs. Never tried it though and I'd practice first on an empty case !
  5. Great idea for a thread, love to see interior pages. Have to disagree though on the HG Peter art. His style's a bit old fashioned but he had gorgeous linework and really showed his skill in drawing animals. The Peter splash pages are better than most covers. I've picked up a couple and want more but they are spendy!
  6. Really enjoyed the production of this video. Love the slo-mo pans, close-ups, and lack of background music. To the point! I'll have to check out the rest.
  7. So I bought 3 comics last night as BINs and requestedtotal from seller to combine on shipping. Woke up this am to an email invoice with the new total and then a later email saying the seller cancelled the order: "We want to let you know that *seller X* cancelled your order and mentioned the reason as The buyer asked to cancel the order, or there's an issue with the buyer's address. Keep in mind that an unpaid item can be recorded on your account and result in future restrictions to your account. You don't need to do anything else." Neither reason is true and seller has re-listed all 3. What gives here? What kind of recourse might I have? Appreciate any help with this situation.
  8. Super happy to receive my first copy of FF 13! Muchos kudos to a great boardie who went above and beyond. Thank-you!
  9. Great sculpt on that Hoth fig. I love how "neutral" those figures were.
  10. Hey I thought readers of this thread might be interested in this article: Eddy Smets Donates Whites to Western

  15. Hi all, just made my first board purchase so I figured I should follow up with an introduction. I’m back to the hobby after a long hiatus since collecting lots in the 90’s. I recently went through 3 long boxes of my comics I’d left in my parents’ attic and culled them down to one. Cringe-worthy stuff mostly (Brigades, Shadowhawks, 90's X-Men, X-Force, Ninjak, McFarlane stuff, Punishers, new-suit DD, hologram covers, and the like.) Classic 90’s excess. You’re welcome Goodwill. I’ve kept the cream- 80’s-90’s Marvel keys and #1’s, short runs of Hellboy, Sandman, X-Men, and some independents, a handful of bronze and silver randoms including early Conan, AV57, SS4, GSX1, HULK181. Also faves like a newsstand copy of SS50 that was the first comic I bagged and boarded and treated nice. Anyhow I’ve been buying the odd book over the last couple years and am loving new directions in collecting. The book that re-ignited my interest was a VF copy of Astonishing Tales 26 that looks sooo creamy in mylar. Now I’m looking out for a lot of older covers that I never got back in the day- Man-Things, Marvel King-Sizes & bronze horror, early Morbius, early Surfer, 70’s Hulks, etc Also got a new craving for some silver/bronze DC books- DC war, Sea Devils, and Diana Prince WW issues. My focus is on pretty covers with eye-appeal, not hung up on condition so much as I still need to eat!
