  1. Hey, thanks for using the word "apocryphal" in a sentence! I was reading a biography on the TeeVee evangelist Jimmy Swaggart and I came across that word. Didn't know what it meant and looked it up and now I know what it means and you used it in a sentence and I knew what you meant!
  2. thanks to all who took the time to respond. bought a whole reader run from MCS for around 15$. Should have 'em soon.
  3. Finding I'm buying multiples of books cause I'm too lazy to write down what I have and don't have. Short term memory is shot.
  4. man, these prices for HG books are out-of-control.
  5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/311924075412?afsrc=1&rmvSB=true
  6. Nice wraps on the DD 181. Hard to get that book with nice wraps! That's a damn good price for all 3 DD books. I paid 225$ just for my #181 9.8 WP (newsstand)
  7. I'm kinda diggen' it. $1.00 per book. Classic stories.
  8. I just ordered Mr. A #24 by Ditko from Snyder. I'll give you guys a review once I read it!
  9. Thinking about buying cheap reading copies from MCS. Think there is only 5 issues or so. Opinions on quality of story/art?
  10. I felt the same way with Dublin Dr. Pepper when that got axed.
  11. Do you think the "Stan Lee '84' written on page 1 in pen" on the label will affect (effect?) the price on the ComicLink 6.0? I mean, does someone pay more for that?
  12. Why is DD 191 referred to as "The Dardevil The Musical." ?? I'm familiar with the story. Don't remember any musical. http://www.metropoliscomics.com/bookSearch.php?searchType=advanced&title=Daredevil+&issue=191&cgc_only=on&search.x=34&search.y=7&search=Search
  13. Under-welming. And I'm a huge Miller fan. Finally read it (TPB) on a long plane trip to Dubai/Africa in February of this year. Massively under-welmed. Left the book on a bench at the airport in Dar es Salaam next to a guy with a goat. Might still be there.
  14. Ann Rowe Seaman's bio on Jimmy Swaggart. If you love deep, dense bios Seaman is your woman. Looking forward to Jimmy McDonough's bio on Al Green, Soul Survivor. Ditto on McDonough: NY Times calls him the Literary Terminator. His bios on Neil Young, Tammy Wynette and Andy Milligan are mounumental and I couldn't care less about Young or Wynette. I read 'em cause Jimmy's that good.
  15. page number of Katradis' article? Plowing through the Market report and have not read of it yet. Read Jamie's. Loved the "nobody reads these things" part.
  16. I'm no Paypal expert, but is the moral of the story here to never use Friends and Family? I believe I've bought some stuff here on the sale forum and they asked I used Friends and Family (not sure why? Why?) and it turned out fine.
  17. Gray Barker also published book called The Silver Bridge which was about a giant Mothman sighting in West Virginia before The Silver Bridge collapsed in the late 60s. This was made into a giant Hollywood film called The Mothman Prophesies with Richard Gear. Never saw the film but I believe there is a scene where Gear calls someone on the phone and it's Barker. Barker was an extremely interesting (and influential) cat.
