Try to find coverless copies, they are way cheaper and great for people that don't care as long as they can read and have the comic, like me.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with old junk and was always looking for old toys and magazines and stuff, but finding old comics in junk shops and flea markets blew my mind. Just the thrill of finding these obscure comics I had no idea existed and I became obsessed with searching for them. Before stumbling upon old comics in junk shops I really never thought about comics being anything other than superheros since that's all I ever saw around as a kid. The staggering variety of types of comics blew my mind. I never was stuck on one type of comics, I bought and loved everything and loved that decaying newsprint smell and these crude, strange comics that seemed from a different world. This was when I was like 10, I was a weird kid. Not that I have changed that much since then.

Go listen to the NPR interview with him if you want to see what a huge d-bag the guy is.

I can't pick one, but thought of these just off the top of my head...

They are really cool cards. I have a few that are in really bad shape, I got a stack of 1930s mickey mouse cards once and they were in there.

I met him in 1989 and talked to him for a couple minutes when he was appearing somewhere, some store opening and he was there. I sort of made a fool of myself from being nervous and he made a joke that was really funny, I wish i could remember what it was. He was a funny guy, I wish he did more comedy roles. Batman was geat of course, but he did some great funny appearances on some tv shows in the 90s. He should have done more, he was such a talented funny guy. RIP

Isn't there a printing error version of this one, with the blue ink missing from the cover? I seem to remember that from gerber photo journal.

I don't see how anyone could be fooled by this, it's so obviously not a original printing. The size is totally off, the printing is too good, too dark, the colors are perfectly aligned and not off register at all and the texture of the newsprint is not right at all.

Yeah I was going to say, I wonder if he really drew that or just had someone else do it for him like he did with 99 percent of everything else he claimed to be his. Funny how the cover drawing of Batman isn't even his, it's by Jerry Robinson. Ol' Bob was such a scam artist

Are any of these really a decline? Sure I guess maybe personally to some modern collectors they are, but publishers were just doing whatever sold best and just changed things according to what sold and what didn't, that's all their motivation was. Like how people complain about Robin or kid sidekicks, well that is what sold and what the kids buying the comics wanted so that is what publishers gave them. All these ones that are given as examples of a decline, I am sure far outsold the other ones. People also seem to forget that 99 percent of people buying these comics and the target audience were preteen kids.

None of it is a decline to me, I like the silly, absurd , fun stuff. It's what makes old comics so great to me. The decline to me is comics of the last 40 years that are way to serious and not fun at all.

Probably. That and other comic strips. I think in other ones there's some Buck Rogers swipes. The style varies from panel to panel in a lot of them. He would copy parts from other strips and even copy the style and crosshatching and the drawing style varied within same panel. Reading stories about the guy, I wonder if he ever actually drew anything completely himself.

There's a lot about it here and how much of a jerk and liar Kane was.... http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/389/

Kane did like to swipe pretty much everything, isn't pretty much everything in the first batman story swiped from Flash Gordon and big little books? He probably used the same castle in his swipe file for both.

I really like these circle covers. With some things going outside the border it gives it an almost 3D look, sort of like those 3D effect ACG comics did later.

Seeing the footage in that behind the scenes video makes me sick. The look and feel of any modern anything I just hate so much. What is with trying to make everything so serious and then so dull and colorless? this new mummy movie looks like all modern superhero movies, so dull and colorless and modern looking. I don't know, I just hate it. I prefer the old stuff that didn't take itself so serious, was just goofy fun, had a style to it that, the acting had a style and wasnt realistic either. I don;t know what it is, but these new movies don't interest me at all

Yuch, no thanks. I could care less if they want to make new ones, they will be all modern and not interesting to me. You cant' recreate the look and feel of the old ones and that is what is great about them and why i like them.

They exist..... https://comics.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?N=790+231+52&Nty=1&Ntt=addams+family+file+copy&ic4=ArchiveTab-071515

Sorry, but why would anyone want to display a comic with an ugly cgc label like that? It takes away from the comic itself. But whatever.

Strange Tales #99

Tales to Astonish #12

Strange Tales #88

Tales of suspense #33

Wouldn't bother me, I'd crack any comic out of one of those tombs anyway and put it in a new sleeve of mine just like I do every comic I get no matter what it comes in.

https://postimage.io/ I like this one better than all the other ones, to me its way easier to use.
