    At least 50 books coming, mix of new material and a few reruns; new stuff to include a bunch of the more popular late Archie title GGA covers, but they're coming later... 5 Simple Rules (Please, please read) 1st wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread. Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping: USPS Priority between $8 (flip n ship mailer in a Legal Flat Rate Envelope) to $15 (Medium Priority Box) for raws. I may add in a few slabs; they would be $15 to ship. Will do my best to combine/condense on large stacks. (We're gonna see a Magazine Box o' books over several nights; it could happen...) Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Raws; sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get in back to me in the same shape on your dime. No returns on slabs. (Kudos thread linked under my avatar.)

    Nice grab, chef!

    Hmm...maybe kinda sorta There's a handful in the early issues, before WWII themes took over, that could be considered to have horror/ghoul overtones, though 17 seems most overt to me. #12 is also in that vein, #4 etc.

    I prefer blue; don’t much care about sigs, especially defacing covers. (I have a few signed books that have come to me incidentally in buying collections; or that I got signed on the inside as a kid. it’s kind of neat on a low value book. Even though some major keys with a relevant sig — eg Stan on a silver key — can sell for more than same grade blue, I think it’s a smaller pool of buyers. I for one am not in it because I’m only interested in the comics, not autograph collecting. I only like sigs on cheap books, preferably as a personal memento. But that’s just me.)

    The Cap 17 needs a centerfold (please reach out if you have one, or have a lead!) and the MMC has a taped split cover, but when a Black Hole begins the process of collapsing and offers up a couple Timelys, there is only one right answer.

    Thank you; will do!

    Bumping this thread to throw a Hail Mary…. Anyone out there got a centerfold for Cap 17???

    THAT is absolutely a difference — influence is a better word for that era; imitation is too often accurate today. (And no I’m not bashing the Copper age — just like Kirby influenced those guys and they went in different directions, I think there’s pretty clear influence from Michael Golden to Art Adams to McFarlane to Jim Lee, then we got the clones, more or less.)

    Not for a long time, anyway. I guess there was a time when they did a fair amount of both. But swipes and cross-influence in comic art is not new. The lack of formal art study might be a more recent phenomena, however. I saw Dan Green last week; he showed me a portrait that Jeff Jones had done of him. That led him to telling me how they met. He said he was 17 when he walked into the Marvel offices for the first time, where he met Berni Wrightson. Dan said Berni was there trying out for Conan, and when they got to talking Wrightson showed Dan his work, from which Dan was able to say “You’re Berni Wrightson!” Berni was surprised Dan knew of him and could identify him based on his work, so he invited Dan back to his apartment, where Wrightson was living with Jones and Michael Kaluta. So I guess artists have been influencing one another for quite some time. And besides, I thought you’d appreciate that anecdote, and these boards are a good place for recording comics history as we are able to learn it.

    True, but it is also very easy to hire untalented “talent.” Liefeld got in.

    It was a low-grade goodness day …The Torch is #36, Martian Manhunter is my favorite DC hero so I’ve always wanted a reader copy of Batman 78 for the Roh Kar story, and the Ribage simply falls in the category of books that must be bought if seen in an LCS.

    What a spectacular thread, Aaron! You deserve that happiness posted above! Congrats!

    Completely agree; I was just answering the question.

    Thank you! I don’t doubt you about these works, but I do still think it’s probably fair to say Doom has the larger body of work as a top tier villain.

    Ok, I’ll try
