  1. Thank you, sir! -- I knew it was gonna be priceless, but that exceeded my (lofty) expectations!
  2. What happened the time that it didn't work? This has gotta be good.....
  3. It matches the back cover of #8 also. My guess is also that it's an issue of that mag run.
  4. I want to blame/thank the great boardie @Pat Calhoun for posting the splash to Adventures into the Unknown #31 months ago and starting my hunt .... Now, at last...I have "The Mask of Mumbo!" ....the Airboy was right next to it; what was I supposed to do??? ... And the People's Comix is 1st print and arguably the greatest death in comics, Fritz the Cat (yeah, I know, Death of Captain Marvel...love it too...but it's not like he took it in the back of the head with an icepick from an ostrich!)
  5. While it's not as specific as other stuff mentioned -- Newton rings They have become a sort of all-purpose punch line that would certainly make no sense to others.
  6. Interesting point, and it is a sort of legacy book in another sense as well...there's a note in Marvel Premiere #15 in which Roy Thomas admits Iron Fist is basically his homage to Bill Everett and Amazing Man.
  7. Same thoughts here; congrats Tsp99 (and seller)!
  8. @delekkerste If Imcould add a point -- it's not just the proliferation of free media, but also self-created media -- my kids are way more interested in what friends are creating on Tick Tock or YouTube or Instagram than in professionally created media. That's an entertainment sea change that does not lend itself to underscoring any sort of collecting interest. That said, one of my kids enjoys Archies and keeps a short box. But they have exposure to comics from me and my interests. While the newsstand ship has sailed, it was a pretty important ship in creating new collectors, of course. I also think there's fewer dealers running LCS's that act like history teachers than there used to be. In my experience growing up, the passion of the local LCS owners for GA and SA was a big part of why I became curious enough to learn about back issues that were way before my time. (I was in grade school buying bronze off the racks in the 1970's; in high school buying copper off the LCS racks in the 80's.) That historically knowledgeable comic shop owner is another ship that has sailed, not quite to the same extent as spinner racks, but it's headed toward the horizon.
  9. Agreed. But when she has her way and they call it "The Mutants," Tales of Suspense #6 will pop.
  10. Buck to ... (Luck...he's pushing his luck....yeah, that's it...perverts....)
