"Ok ok. JC Superstar. But only because he martyred his ID."

Thanks.

Found out how to do it, and if anyone cares, just block this string:

We can put them back if yours is missing, but it's fastest if you tell us what it was.

IIt was something like:

JC Superstar... but only because he martyred his old ID.

I'm thinking that might be The Vanisher and it could be Champions 17.

Just read it online and I didn't see anything close.

The 35 cent variant to boot!

That was my point - they have the 35-cent variant (unknowingly) listed in their article.

How To Disable User Avatars?

It was my favorite feature of the old boards, especially on mobile devices and tablets, but I cannot find the option anywhere!!

Oh yeah, and are the Custom Titles all gone? If so, that sucks.

He stole a Uncanny X-Men #266, Giant Sized X-Men (German Edition) and a Walking Dead #115. He entered the store with a young lady who had a baby in a bassinet. He walked into our HIGH END section of the store

Wow, I wonder what he has in the "low end" part of the store.  And $1500? Talk about blatant insurance fraud.

Could also be that horrible Captain America Night People or that equally horrid Arnim Zola stuff.

Didn't realize the original FK died in Man-Thing. I was thinking of the Kurt Gerhardt Foolkiller actually. But the first appearance of the character/moniker is still MT3 IMO.

Yeah, I can see how it helped this book:

Nah, he looks like a normal guy with blue or purple eye shadow, or maybe a patch, in waves. I don't know if you can see what I see in that clip I posted.

Does anyone know who that bug-eyed/eye-shadow character is on the second page, middle panel? He's familiar and think he's Kirby DC, but I just can't place him....

Can anyone explain why Avengers 181 (1st appearance of Scott Lang) is worth less than Marvel Premiere #47 (1st appearance of the new Ant Man)?  Avengers 181 precedes MP #47 so it SHOULD be worth more than MP#47 but it's not.

Funny how I was pushing for this when the whole Avengers 181 madness was upon us before the Antman movie debuted...

My reasons were pretty clear, a) Avengers sold a LOT more than Marvel Premiere at the time and were collected in far greater numbers so NM/M copies of MP 47 would be much rarer comparatively speaking, b) CGC has created a "cover generation" and having Antman on the cover is going to push it ahead of Avengers 181, and c) I always prefer the *actual* first appearance of the superhero over his or her non-powered counterpart.

Yeah, this would definitely be a book to speculate on:

Looks like 70's Kirby, maybe New Gods and I can't place that "guy with the eye shadow" on the middle of the second page - was he from Kamandi, Mr Miracle? I'm no DC expert, but maybe someone else can place him.

I just noticed the 1978 reference, so maybe Eternals?

Nice books lamers!

If there's a slew of die hard Valkyrie collectors out there, I'd like to hear which book they designate as her 1st appearance.

Defenders 4, definitely.

Barbara Norris = Valkyrie

OMG, now there will be an infinite debate on which is the first true first app!!!

It depends on which one it is, and I prefer Defenders 4 to the others, as that was the first appearance of the character that ran through the BA and CA.

Wow, how much did the MTA 6 run you? That's a nice book and very HTF in NM or higher.

Suck It!

*spoon* yourself, individual_without_enough_empathy.

For some reason, I associate Deadman with the bronze age.

Then you need a quick course in understanding the concepts of time and space.

But you still seem a bit too dumb for it to take, as even after being told that it's a SA series, you proceed to post several more.

Does anyone know the progress of that "Original Art MVS Book" project?

Thanks, but man, what was Adam Hughes thinking with that Hela "boob shot"?

Oh, I know what he was thinking, but it was still pretty lame for a retro 70's project. At least show her face, then give her big knockers.

Yeah, copper is ready to implode. seriously, are there even 50 issues published by the big 2 within the era of "copper" that regularly fetch more than $10-15 raw in really nice shape? i have my doubts.

It's funny because it's the same discussion that Bronze was having in the early years of this board.

For raw, not by anyone with a brain, and those were likely the usual suspects from the GA forums, looking to have some fun. CGC 9.8+ is a different animal, and many "low census" BA books have come down in price, some precipitously so.

Since I've been collecting comics in the early-80's, the year 1977 has been a firm delineation between "collectible" and "over-speculated" and over the longer-term, I still hold to that.

I hope not, as I still have crates of this stuff to get rid of, not to mention the heart-attack-inducing prices that drek like Ms Marvel, Nova, Star Wars, etc. are getting right now.
