Yes. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I was thinking about how the printer on my desk runs out of ink and how those last couple of pages reflect the running out of ink. I guess comic printing isn't that simplistic.

Whatever your book is worth or not worth super girlDC19591, that's one nice looking AF 15.

So Tbone's book would have appeared brand new on the stands, and the Marvel chipping happened over time because of dull blade usage? Which leads me to another question, if it's ok to ask a comic related question on a comic related site without searching all over the internet, this about printing ink: I would imagine that after printing x amount of comics, ink would become low on the printer and at some point books would not be as vibrant ink and color wise. All the comics I've ever seen all seem to have the same consistency ink wise, but at some point comics must have gotten "dimmer." How many comics thru the printer before this happens and are these comics hurt grade wise?

Thanks. I'll put it on my list

AF 15 in 4.5 is good!

Just making conversation. Thought I'd ask.

Bump!!! I'm sick of AF 15, let's get back to talk about the single most important comic in history : TALES TO ASTONISH #27

what's the Voldy grade? What grade do think it is?

a question about Marvel Chipping: When Tbone911t's AF 15 went on the stands in 1962, did it have the chipping then, brand new?

Awesome!

That floating rock thing is a big deal here in Los Angeles. We are a proud people!

I think I saw the room full of typewritten pages piece at a museum in Washington DC in the early 80s. I believe the work is from the 30s. Not saying it's good or bad, just I think that is what I saw.

Thanks for whomever posted that video. I laughed pretty hard. I take street photos as a hobby. I used to subscribe to an arts/photo magazine called "Blind Spot." It came out about 6 times a year and had a hefty price tag: $25.00 an issue. I enjoyed it with its articles and analyzation of some of the woks of the masters: Winogrand, etc. However, they changed editorship and one issue had 19 pages of blank pages and an article about the artist who produced the blank pages and so on. I canceled my subscription. Just so this post has some comic-book substance: Tales To Astonish #27 is going to become the new grail of all collectors. It is THE BOOK.

yup

Awesome Gold Key covers!

My wife is beyond amazing.

It's kinda coming back to me: I find that I either LOVE Eisner stuff or HATE Eisner stuff. When the Spirit gets down and dirty and gritty, it's the best. When it's funny like a MAD Magazine story, not so much.

thanks all! I figured EC came into somewhere...

I'll take your word that approach works. However, not gonna try myself

is that Bruce's show? Know that cat from way back...

forgot about Steranko

As a kid, one of the things that pulled me into comics was the panel construction and sequencing of Miller's work on Daredevil. I remember one (#177?) where the reporter Ben Urich is in his office at the Daily Bugle and smoke from a cigarette from the bottom panel swirls up into the page entering every panel. Also many panel sequencing felt filmic. My question: since there is nothing new under the sun, who was doing this kind of panel work before Miller. I know of none, but I'm certainly not a student of comics like some of you are.

Point taken, Sir.
