    There's actually a handful of anti-communist issues (Sinnott Art IIRC) that sell when they infrequently show up on eBay, but I think those are the only hidden nuggets. Mind you, I think we are talking about the difference between sitting in a dollar box (most of run) and getting grabbed up at $10-$20 range. Not big money, but substantively different from much of the run.

    The OSPG questions whether Blue Beetle #43 exists. Anyone got one? I think there's been other books in the past that had borne the parenthetical "exist?" Designation until they turned up. An issue of Babe sticks in my head for some reason, maybe #5? At any rate, the guide does not currently question the existence of any of the issues of that series, but I seem to remember first seeing that question of existence with that book/title. Any others currently like that in the OSPG besides BB 43?

    Lower grade than the last few beauties posted here, but nifty books nonetheless

    Thank you mr mailman today!

    @Robot Man hit the classic example on the head with HTD and Shazam. A couple more recent examples not yet mentioned include (at least I think they dropped a lot) Cap 217 on the Quasar spec, and the Revenge of the Living Monolith graphic novel, which heated briefly as the first appearance of the Egyptian dude who becomes Apocalypse, or somesuch.

    Thank you! This theater clearly chose the latter, as it was still up in March. Hence my confusion. Thx!

    Closing this thread; if you see something you really want, PM me. It may or may not be here. Thx!

    Wow. So when I went to see Black Panther and saw those New Mutants posters saying "April 13," back in say late March, that never happened? I guess that's a very last-minute decision, no?

    Didn't new mutants come out a few weeks ago?

    I have always loved this cover and been curious about the book; now, thanks to a great boardie who worked out a cash/trade deal with me, I finally can check it out via an affordable yet presentable copy! Thanks @Raze !

    @Mercury Man Thank you! If he were original I could perhaps see how some like him, but he's not. He's Daffy Duck. Like others said, there's room for both opinions of course; he's far from the only lowbrow humor concept that's ever been popular in Human history. Heck, I like Daffy! I even liked the GOTG movie, but I did not like them in Infinity War, and I did not like a silly un-Thor-like Thor in there either. How does this all relate? I guess I'm saying it never works for me when the two approaches are blended because most writers cannot pull it off and the humor dominates. (Infinity war was like two movies spliced together. I enjoyed one of them.) The one exception for me that I can think of is Grant Morrison's use of Plastic Man in the JLA. I'd love to see Morrison write Deadpool. He would probably become a reality-warping mutant who turned everything in his line of sight into a Looney Tunes-type reality. That I could live with. If Steve Gerber (is he alive?) were to handle him for an absurdist run featuring Howard the duck, man-thing, Foolkiller etc. that could be fun. I did like finding a NM98 for 50 cents once and later trading it for an ASM 129. I put that book in a small stack and traded it for an Avengers 1 (and a spare 4).

    I'd be remiss if I did not offer a trade option: Seeking Yellow Claw #'s 3 and 4. Raw reader grade would do; say Good+ to Fine minus range. If one or both is sitting around not really fitting into your collection, get yourself a serious chunk of summer Eisner reading in exchange. Also looking for an FF50, same grade range. Just a thought...

    Okay, this last post is most but not all of the Kitchen Sink Spirit comic book that followed the magazine run. Everything looks at least VF, some surely lower end of NM. The series ran 87 issues. Take your pick, $1 each plus shipping, so stack away! SOLD: Issue #'s 29,47,49,50,53,55 59,60,65-69,71,72,77,78,80,82-87 Available (I think!) are #1-26, 35,38,40,41, 46, 48, 51, 52, 54, 56-58, 61-64, 73-76, 79, 81
