  1. GLWTS! I'm curious myself to see if the virtual dollar box can thrive on the boards...cool idea....hopefully, I'm boosting this thread by pointing out that the cover above is made quite disturbing by Robin's bare foot....weird....
  2. I don't get too bent out of shape about it either way. Sure, atom age better describes post-war thru at least mid-50's (though arguably the hallmarks of silver age storytelling don't really come along until FF#1; much of the DC hero revival stuff has no new tone to it to speak of) but arbitrary cut offs don't neatly describe every book in a given year. For example, Adventure Comics from 1946 reads more GA than Atomic in its substance. People love to quibble about this stuff, and it's interesting, but comics evolution is more of a continuum, it seems to me. Then again, growing up in the '70s, before it was declared the Bronze Age, it didn't strike me as necessary to have an Age label to encompass every year of comic history. WWII was Golden, Silver was the hero revival. The interim and the new stuff were cool and different on their own, absent a label.
  3. It's all over the Internet but no attribution. My first thought was she looks like Caniff's Dragon Lady, but the attire isn't quite right.

  5. Thanks for resurrecting this thread. What a great resource and fun read!
  6. Nicely done, Cat-man America, soooo..... life's a beach for Daredevil, so he gets a day at the beach
  7. While I don't think it inspired the costume, Roy Thomas said on a text page in Marvel Premiere 15 that Iron Fist's origin was basically a homage to Amazing-Man.
  8. Exactly -- I was done! Lots of vendors at that particular flea market. I still go, but I walk right past him.
  9. Well, I can certainly respect that too. And I have done that with at least 1 flea market seller whose shtick was everything had a price on it, but if I asked about it he had to look it up in Overstreet. Then it was I have to take it home and reprice it. The guy made me feel like I was trying to rip him off by trying to pay his already-accurate prices. So I told him off and walked away.
  10. Create some work for him -- go back, pull 10 or so drek books at random. Get the same answer, tell him ok, thanks, please have him call me when they are priced. Change your mind on the phone. If they offer to sell to you at $1 each on the spot, change your mind on the spot. Sounds like lots of you guys near there; everyone lather, rinse, repeat. jusr a thought.
  11. Kav, you're killing my wealthy, foolish buyer fantasy!
  12. Bound in red dress to bound and whipped in blue dress
  13. Yeah, but the fact remains someone pulled the trigger...I'm as shocked as you guys in one sense (no boardie would do that) but I'm more eager to find that,er, niche market....it's pretty established that wealth and intellect do not necessarily correspond. Understanding that is clearly profitable, apparently.
