Get Marwood & I

Bless ya, Yozza

"Do it boss, do it. Turn him into a monster. Go on. Turn him into a monster."

@Garystar Remember this one Gary? I think this is the first copy I've seen to buy since one finally turned up years back: I won't be going for it myself, but if anyone else is frantic for a copy....

Blimey, is that what happened? I just thought someone had farted.

@frozentundraguy Let's see 'em

Puts me in mind of the Spidey '67 cartoon...

A round of applause for Billy Silbert!

Is this an example of moderators taking a heavy handed, policy inconsistent action, that affects everyone, and which is not rooted in moderation, to moderate individuals, rather than using moderation tools to moderate them?

I try very hard to avoid making cents, Eric...

That's handy. Oui oui. And ditto the future, to save you asking. Thank Bod for you, Eric. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune have been keeping me at bay for a bit, but I can always rely on a warm welcome back from you my online friend I'm off to enjoy the return of another old friend now. I'm sure you know Who....

Evening Those in the know of the all knowing knowledge will know that Dells sometimes have different back covers, and front cover dressings. One such example is that of our Nelson. That's Ricky, by the way, not the one who doesn't know how to label a subsequent printing of a first appearance. Behold below two US of A 15c copies, one with a competition banner and one conspicuously without: Hong Kong Phoo-ey! Never met the Nelson guy. Or did he...? Now, those in the full knowing knowledge of the full knowing data will know that a UK Price Variant one shilling copy exists for Ricky, or Fork Holler #1192 as he is sometimes known. Given that the competition (PRIZES - PRIZES - PRIZES!) wouldn't have been open to the denizens of Englandville, or would at least have probably expired by the time they got their mitts on a copy, it's clear to see why they chose the competition banner free version to add the shilling price to: Oh. Anyway, it looks very nice that shilling price, being the same colour (with a u) as the background colouring (also with a u) on that FC (without a u. And k, thankfully). It's almost like it was meant to be there. In the meantime, the hunt for a banner free you kay pee vee goes on. Here endeth the usual nonsense cloaked learning point. See you next time

Very sad news Is there another kind, lately? I don't think we ever chatted by PM, I'm sorry to say, but I do remember having some Bird related banter when I posted this once: Zappa is how I will remember him. A good, solid boardie. RIP Bird

That's cool

I think they lock all the posts once the questions have been answered in that forum.

It's not me in the photo Roy, I just took it. I dressed up as Catweazle apparently. My normal clothes, but that's what someone congratulated me on coming as.

I took that photo myself at a convention a few years back. I was struck by how many young girls were there dressed up. I counted about five Jodie Whittaker Doctor Whos as I recall. I think her tenure was terrible myself - bad writing, acting and characterisation - but it's unlikely that they would pick up on that just as we didn't spot terrible writing in the comics of our past. But those girls were inspired enough to dress up and join the party and that's a good thing I think. We're not there yet, but maybe one day we'll achieve that balance and just make great films and shows with everyone, for everyone.

Now we're Flying!

We liked the comics when we were kids. They were ours. Maybe she likes the films now as much as we liked the comics then. They're hers.

I'm sorry but that trailer leaves me cold.

@lostboys @newshane @Lazyboy@namisgr@VintageComics FYI Confirmation that CGC insert MicroChamber paper into books classified as Vintage (pre-1975) but not into moderns (1975 to present) as per their Service & Fees criteria.

So there has been a change in policy. Likely? This seems odd, considering what MicroChamber paper is designed to do (see the company link I posted above) and given that there is little difference between the paper stock used for comics before and sometime after 1975. I suspect there will be a lot of unhappy people with 1975 or later slabbed comics out there Matt, when this becomes more widely known! Thank for your time and swift responses.

Thanks Matt. So to be completely clear, any comic book cover dated 1975 or later will not have MicroChamber paper inserted, correct? If I submit Amazing Spider-Man #139 (December 1974), it will have MicroChamber paper inserted by design because CGC consider it to be vintage. Issue #140 (January 1975) won't have it however, as CGC consider it a post-vintage / modern book - correct? And you're saying it has always been that way? https://microchamberpaper.com/microchamber-paper-golden-size/
