  1. Are what exactly are Kirby's "misses" my good sir? Is there any intelligent or specific things that you can State as what a "miss" is? Oh I see ...your opinion is fact. ..I think you sir have drank the cool aid. THE SPIKED ONE
  2. Date says it's a Bronze. Fact! You can keep showing your point...but why? You statement us false.
  3. Yesssss Demon!!! Well phicks I wouldn't say your missing out on the best parts of his projects. Truth be told...everything this man has done has a flavor of its own. He was exceptional and deserves such a high amount of respect and gratitude for his contributions to the media, that there is no argument about best or not best. Popularity does not equal best and best is in the mind of the individual. I think if you are a fan or you have even an interest and curiosity, you will enjoy all of his stuff for what it is.
  4. 7-11? Your comic shop?? That's AWESOME! Comics and SLURPEE'S!!
  5. Raw? More than fair..unless there is some really good pics of spine, all corners, front and back, angle to reflect light...to really see that it is a 9.2 or better.
  6. Bunch of insufficiently_thoughtful_persons..SMH...smh
  7. The Gwenpool 1:50 been in demand ...that's why it sold for 80.00 rite out of the gate!
  8. That's some amazing stuff thunderstick! Thanks for that share! As far as wishing he stayed around to expand on his new gods? Yes I think we all kinda wish the same... BUT...In a way there were some "off-beat creations" to still be made! So he followed his calling. Even though there is much talk about how unhappy he had become with the industry...I think this is a natural course for any hard worker/creator of his time. The "powered that be" will always get to after a while because the "business giant" will never appreciate you in the end. For them it's all about the next money maker. I do not believe this effected his work as others have complained. I just think that whatever evolution he made as a artist and creator was his natural course. There was no good or bad. It was all something special for different people. The reason why I liked Devil so much was because for me it was like an "independent" in an era where there was no such thing. I liked to pick something up that was different and not "superhero" He gave that to me.
  9. That's a steal! Very lucky find with those teen Titans books..wow!!!
  10. Very well said my friend...very well indeed!
  11. "Devil Dinosaur isn’t much comparable to the Kiber story arc on the Black Panther, or the Arnim Zola and Tiger and the Swine episodes on Cap." Is your opinion and everybody opinion is valid. I beg to differ. Devil is Kirby's personal creation. Those others you mention are not. I appreciate all works for what they are. There must be something in Devil that is making him (or her) relevant today with modern collectors.
  12. So true about finding them at the comic shop. Unfortunately I'm in NYC and anything with any type of speculation attached is like 300% guide. Places like Midtown Comics...it's all really very sad. ..yes it is just a Dino and a Monkey Well it was to originally be planned as an animation spin off. Would have done great in that era!!
  13. Wow 12 bucks!? Lucky man..I'm still still trying to collect decent affordable copies and it's nearly impossible with all of the speculation around the Demon. I also was not a huge fan as a kid. Funny thing is...Kirby is what got me back into collecting as a n adult.
  14. I wanted to start a thread to give a creative nod the Jack Kirby and his bronze age contributions. I know he has done some undisputed great in the great silver age for the big two but I find his odd and off beat contributions of the bronze. For example the strong direction he took Black Panther in the 1st ongoing series or the lore of the Eternal and Godly Celestia's. Specifically his odd and intriguing creations such as The Demon and Devil Dinosaur. Funny how for many years so many have criticized his latter works for a lack of creativity. I beg to differ. Just look at the newly revamped Devil Dinosaur in the pages of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Devils many appearances on random variant covers. This is a character that I've heard some same was lazy and badly written. Well we are beginning to see now the true genius of his latter works. I hope we can all peacefully share some thoughts, memories, and opinions on the Kings Bronze age contributions.
  15. Devil Dinosaur 1 Kirby has certainly gone up. I've been seeing some eBay vendors asking 150% above oversteet. Also Atomic Avenue vendors asking a premium. Still some good deals to be found on eBay and especially good prices on available stock at Mile High since they are usually overpriced but also the last of the big vendors to update due to spec. inflation. I can certainly see why interest is going up. First and foremost it is the King Kirby. Secondly the new Moon Girl and devil dinosaur series is very witty and we'll written. I do believe this is one of the very undervalued bronze age 1st issues so even at a slightly higher than guide price for the condition you want is still a value. I do think that this will continue to pick up steam . I also think there may be a very good opportunity for Disney to make some sort of animated adaption. Fitting since the original concept of Devil Dinosaur was supposed to be developed into a cartoon even back in the late 70's. Now I'm not saying this book is on fire I'm saying its certainly seeing increased market activity and though the price is not skyrocketing, it is a stable book that will more than likely hold whatever value increase it sees. I'm a collector not an investor and I cannot stand to buy a "Hot for the moment" book, just to see it fall into a 2 dollar bin later. For example all this inflated variant .
