NoMan

When they reach the maximum allowable size, they have to sell an item to buy a new one. My wife makes me do this with my watch collection. Luckily she hasn't figured out that the same thing can be requested re: my comic collection.

maybe it's a kid playing comic convention? Didn't you guys use to dress up your room displaying your books as if in a store/con?

Relax. Nobody said anything bad about the guy. Not taking one's self so seriously is what made him unique. Hell, it's what built the Marvel Empire.

No it was real. Let me try to find it

with all due respect to The Master, what SL stuff really missed the mark? I remember being out of comics for 30 years and around 2005 being in a hotel room and flipping the channels and stumbled upon some kinda God Awful reality show with Lee called Stan Lee's Super Hero Show. It had real life people who came to SL and wanted to be super heros and Lee would come up with something for them and give the superhero team a challenge or some such s h i t. There was this extremely obese woman that was so large she could barley walk. She sometimes used a Hover-Round thingee. Lee christened her "Donut Girl" and gave her a belt with hanging jelly donuts. During Donut Girl's challenge she was rushing somewhere to accomplish said challenge and her Hover-Round rolled by a kid, lost, crying for his mom. Donut Girl rolled right on by rushing to finish the challenge. Later Lee was incensed at Donut Girl ignored the kid, saying that "A real hero would never ignore a crying child" and Lee sent her home from the show. Donut Girl looked at Lee vacuously and grabbed a jelly donut from her belt and started eating.

X Men #4. The first appearance of Quicksilver is really when the Marvel Universe started to take hold and you knew it was here to stay.

i just put a 94 - 150 run together cause I never read 'em. I though, "Heck might as well put a 9-2 - 9.6 run together if I'm gonna do it." Raw so I could read 'em.

He was a Giant. Thanks, Stan!

yes. thanks.

on tv they showed some poor fellows house that had burned down. he had returned for a safe. (it was not revealed if it was a fireproof safe or not). the firemen came over with a sledge hammer and busted it open. the papers inside were mostly ok but had burned slightly on the corners. if they had been comics they would be considered ruined. bank or other important papers they were ok. i know there is a tread around here somewhere about keeping comics in fireproof safes and how it might not be ok (or this is my biased memory as I prefer Bank Safe Deposit Boxes) I'll try to find thread and link it. EDIT: I can't find the fire proof safe thread. But I've also been drinking a bit today. Not sure if one has to do with the other.

Thank you, Kav. i believe this thread will become the biggest and best thread of 2018. Get in with your guess and cite your source and be part of CGC history!

No! I was suppose to edit it before anybody saw it and it was quoted. It was a joke and I hope nobody gets offended.

I’d be interested in his opinion on this.

Please cite your source.

I know it's morbid. I know there's much more important things in life other than comics, however, I just got on a mental riff this morning as I waited for The Redhead to get out of the bathroom: How many comic books leave this mortal coil every year? Let's take a key book, say, ASM 129. I believe it's safe to say that most people that own one take very good care of them. But how many make there final exit regardless via natural disaster/man-made deisaster, accident, etc? I suppose it's impossible to say. No way to know. Very strange times we live in. Please be safe where ever you may reside and take the best care of your loved ones and your ASM 129 for the next generation.

sig makes spiderman's eyes super cool and creepy!

Read more comics on my reading list. which brings me to a question: Is a not as enjoyable to read a "classic" run as an adult that you never read as a kid/teenager? Sometimes I go back and read something I loved as a kid, and as an adult it just doesn't hold up meaning, perhaps, that if you didn't read something as a younger person, you just missed out.

Anyone that says they don't like Frank Miller is "badmouthing."

If the Mod(s) could please remove the post in this thread badmouthing Frank Miller, I think it would help the community as a whole.

Yeah, forgot about Sandman

Yorba Linda con is the ticket.

The Spirit Love And Rockets Mr. X. Add to the list
