  1. If I have three comics to choose from I'd need to compare the insides because that's the most important part so I can look at and read it. I'd pick whatever one had the best insides, that had the best printing job, best page quality etc and was the best for reading and showed the art the best.
  2. Stan didn't put on his "old guy trying to be hip and cool" look until the 70s.
  3. The only point in having comics is to 'use' them. I read a couple a day usually, sometimes a specific issue, title, character, artist I am in the mood for, but usually I like to just randomly pull one out and look at it. I 'use' all my records too. I put a record on almost every night and read a couple comics, except last night I read a Buck Rogers big little book and then a 70s issue of Beep Beep the Roadrunner.
  4. my only thought is why is there a Stan lee signature on a comic he had absolutely nothing to do with in any way?
  5. My tale of woe bests anyone's tale for me personally. Sentimental value and personal value are much more important than anything else to me My tale of woe is the entire run of Weird Western Tales and almost complete run of Jonah Hex that my uncle bought new as a kid and gave to me eventually. I have no clue what happened to them they disappeared over the years in a couple moves 30 years ago. I have since bought almost all of them again but it's not the same. I miss those beat up ones I read a million times as a kid.
  6. None. That's insane. Only thing I am giving up a kidney for is to save a loved ones life if they needed one.
  7. They do. They don't even have to see that or even ever laid eyes on a comic book to think he wrote and created everything. In the 60s he started his self promotion thing and conned everyone into thinking he did everything and everyone has just bought into it so much that now almost any random person on the street knows who he is but actually doesn't know anything he ever did and thinks he is some god. All that matters to people is that they are told he is great and they go along with it. Then you have m-o-r-ons making videos when he died crying and acting like they knew anything about the guy and buying into his self promotion con. It was pathetic. There were no videos of anyone crying when Ditko died.
  8. All of them. There's nothing worse than a big scribble on the cover of any comic.
  9. I hate having stacks of boxes its so hard to find anything and get to anything easily. I always have wanted something like file cabinets but I haven't found anything right yet. I want something like this, though I can't afford some custom thing.... https://thewoodwhisperer.com/viewer-projects/rays-comic-book-storage-cabinet/
  10. Wasn't this a cliche origin story for vigilante characters long before comic book heroes? Comic book heroes where all basically just rip offs of old pulp magazine characters. The Lone Ranger is the one that comes to mind first. I am pretty sure his posse of texas rangers was betrayed and all were killed but him and he faked his death to become the Lone Ranger.
  11. 90 percent of these characters should be public domain anyway. Who cares about these corporations. Stop giving them money.
