My exact address? Hmmmmmmmm...........1060 West Addison.

 

Isn't that right, Elwood?

 

Right, Jake. Now I gotta go get me some dry white toast. And a glass of water.

I want four whole chickens. And a coke.

He posted it on a website. In order for it to be an image, it has to be somewhere - you just attached it. No big deal.

email it to me dcusimano@usa.net. I'll post it tonight.

I'm consigning this for a friend right now. Gerber 8:

I don't have one, but its in the 1987 Overstreet.

Supergear definitely does exist. Al Stoltz of Basement Comix has 2, I believe. It has a white cover.

You really are a cynical [!@#%^&^], aren't you.

I had a Fantastic Four 1 with a date stamp of July 28, 1961.

Sonny Bono pushed to get copyrights extended so the heirs or benefactors of an artist could benefit from the work long after the artist's death.

 

Thanks for the laugh FF, I really needed it today.

 

You really can't be that naive, can you?

Um, this is true.

Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act - Text of S. 505 as adopted by Congress, January 27, 1998.

"b) COPYRIGHTS IN THEIR RENEWAL TERM AT THE TIME OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE SONNY BONO COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION ACT- Any copyright still in its renewal term at the time that the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act becomes effective shall have a copyright term of 95 years from the date copyright was originally secured.';"

What did he die OF? Was he suddenly poisoned? Killed by an angry mob? Die of too much cholesterol? Couch potatoness? Inquiring minds want to know! And what about the "mystery woman?" Where'd she come from?

or you have the sort of personality that sees no difference between reality and fiction,

 

Joanna, why don't you blow this "superiority complex" you have out your butt?

OK, now I've simply had it. A couple of things:

1) There have been, by my count, roughly 500 posts to the "Crisis" thread. Every other member of the board is having a good time with this. I don't think you've been singled out for anything, outside of your know-it-all attitude.

2) She can't be making personal insults against you, as she doesn't know who you are, what you do, what you look like, etc. etc. etc. The only thing we know about anybody on this board, unless we take the time to meet them, is what they come across on the board. You sound like a know-it-all. That's what she was making fun of. Lighten up.

3) You've gone and made it personal, to somebody who has done nothing to you. The fact that you did it to a woman makes it doubly [!@#%^&^], but that's beside the point. She did nothing to warrant any of this, neither did anyone else.

4) Your continual threats to meet people in an alley and re-arrange their internal organs just makes you sound little, mean, and bullyish. I don't understand where you're coming from. She's writing fiction, for god's sake.

5) Vince, I have been one of your defenders on here - we've gone at it a few times, but on many things you're right. On this, however, you simply need to sack up, be a man, and let it drop. Nobody is out to get you.

When will we see the debut and first appearance of the DonutHole? Her special power is the ability to wake up adults in the middle of the night with simple phrases like "My tummy hurts, I threwed up," "I had a bad dream can I sleep with you," "Its very dark outside," (well no kidding, as it is 3 AM) and the classic "What are you guys doing?", directed at me and Mrs. Donut...

Here's the first Carl Barks artwork in WDC&S - for sale too!

Used in Seduction of the Innocent:

For our good friend SHIELD. $1000 and its yours, by the way!

Does anyone know of specific examples in any collectibles field (painted art, statuary, stamps, coins, cards, etc) where a massive loss of value occurred comparable to a drop from $1000 to $40? I'm only familiar with comics myself and can't think of such a drop in their history to this point, but I'm sure there are examples of this in the more long-established fields.

 

I'm sure there are lots of examples of this in the art market; anybody know of any specific drops?

If you are talking about a drop of 25X to X, ($1000 to $40), I can think of a couple comics, right off the top of my head:

Fish Police 1, was selling for $40-50, now sells for MAYBE $1

Red Fox 1, was selling for $40-50, now sells for MAYBE $1

Elflord 1, was selling for $80, now sells for MAYBE $2-3

Troll Lords 1, was selling for $50, now sells for a quarter. On a good day. If you're lucky.

Obviously these are all highly speculative BW explosion books, but they did sell for these insane prices (I made a pretty penny on Fish Police), and now they're deader than Marley (who was dead to begin with!).

Eerie 17 is, as you said, the only book in the run that wasn't warehoused. I have been looking for one for a year - I'm always getting outbid on them at scary stupid money prices. 10, 12, 15 times guide.

I know that DC Comics Presents 1 and 2 had Whitman variations, also the Superman vs. Muhammad Ali and Superman 1 "treasury" sized books. SuperFriends had a lot as well.

totally off context - did you get a new Hulk 1 book as a promo for ordering Hulk cards? Just saw one and have no idea what it is.

I don't think a list exists, but I've got a TON of Whitmans. I'll list the ones I have, but it is really a pain.

I leave feedback when I ship the book and delete the scan from my site. That way it is done and its over with. I really don't care anymore if I get feedback from buyers.

Mushroom, do you collect OLD pinball machines? I've always wanted an ASM pinball machine but simply have no idea where to look to find one.

There is a pinball store in St. Charles, Illinois - I believe it is called Paladin, but I'm not sure. They would have the machine of which you speak.

Neil Gaiman. BTW, read "American Gods" by Gaiman. A little slow at the beginning, but stay with it. You'll be drawn in - just outstanding.
