Ain't it great? Sadly, yes

And a contender for the most worthless 9.8 steps up..... Trouble #1 (2003) Last 9.8 sale on GPA: $3 Last 9.8 sale prior to that... $5 Last 9.6 sale on GPA: $2 OH! But wait! Atomik Mike comes back swinging hard! Last 9.8 sale on GPA: $1 Isn't a slabbed 9.8 selling for a buck really like a -$32 comic??? Let's not sell this short! Negative 32 baby!

This thread puts more things on my watch list than any other...

Big red wings to big red...other things...

My bad; missed the back cover, which is the evidence. I'm still with the others though; this "variant" is less exciting, not moreso. Then again, I'm not the type to care that Star Wars 1 cost a nickel more in Ohio, either.

Kav topped ya....lots more too....that Rima double-splash is a classic GGA throwback! Waaaay underrated!

Just looks faded to me.

Hello all, and thanks in advance! FYI, Readcomix is also my eBay ID if you want to check out my feedback there as well. (All as a buyer; When selling/trading here I plan to do my best to emulate those sellers who have given me the best buyer experiences over the years.)

Never saw this, very cool. What's the issue #? 33 Thx! You probably cost me money by making me aware of this, but I'm sure I'll be happy when I do, so it's all good.

The issue I see is if in fact as USA Today review says Archie is established to be 16 in the series, it's not just a plot twist but a criminal plot twist. Does Grundy get locked up? How do they deal with this aspect of it?

It would take me a couple days to lay my hands on my copy, so here's a link. Sorry! works for me-- thanks Thank YOU for figuring out how to use the link to get the image into the thread! So, did we oversell that splash, or do you agree?

+1 on Tom Palmer as an inker. His work over Dan Adkins on Dr Strange is a beautiful run; easily but unfairly overlooked in the litany of great artists who drew Dr Strange: Ditko, Colan, Frank Brunner, Marshall Rogers. But Adkins/Palmer is right on par with the big names.

For myself, I generally agree with Kav. But it's your collection, collect in the way you enjoy, of course. But if you want the thoughts of other collectors, here's why I agree with Kav. 1) autographs to me are a memento of a personal encounter. (standing in line to hand Someone a check does not count for me.) 2) It is writing on the comic. It's damage. I don't want it. My exceptions: the true personal encounter, with a book that's not worth much anyway, and plentiful (Herb Trimpe and Dan Green on my Godzillas) 2) I have a few that were parts of large collections that I bought that are on otherwise worthless comics and are kind of cool, but I do not consider them part of my collection proper, so much as conversation pieces. Examples: I bought an estate collection, and the guy clearly liked autographs. Stuff with COA got sold at auction, to people who enjoy them, to fund stuff I wanted in my collection. Stuff I kept is cool, unprovable (without spending $$), and on books no one cares about: all 3 Kuberts on some modern X-Men book they all worked on; Walt Simonson and Tony Isabella on some Topps comic, all 5 members of Aerosmith on that Shadowman they were in. But that's me. Some people will pay more for autographs. I'm in the group that will look for a copy without it.

It's funny, I love Kelly's WDCS covers from the first 100 issues... #34, #36, #44, #69, #87 to throw out some random ones. There's probably a few dozen I like. But they were not consistently winners, and after #100 or so his style seems to get sketchier and sloppier. I will admit this is a good cover, not the best condition, but a good cover: One of my all time favorites! I need a nice mid-grade copy. I recently sold a copy of that book and thoroughly regret it! I don't think there's too many Disney covers with prominent use of firearms, certainly not in recent times, no? It's a very Loony Tunes cover on a Disney book.

This thread is the sh*t!

Exactly -- because trying to save the universe by having the Silver surfer snatch at a glove, and stealing the plot from Weird Science (using the cube to craft your she-Thanos version of Kelly LeBrock) is somewhere between Tolstoy and Shakespeare
