That post was an example of me mucking about Bob. I hang out here because its the best comic forum by a country mile and it's my mission in life to bore everyone to death about pence books on it. Any minute, liz will be along to say 'mission accomplished' and continue the muckaboutery. Whilst I'm grateful that they provide it, I wish the boards were independent of CGC so that there were no restrictions on what we can talk about. That's the only thing that let's it down really, apart from the handful of lunatics that seem intent on pouring poo sauce over everything. Pop over to the CVA thread. I'm planeing against the grain again....

Comic Verification Authority (CVA) ?!?!?!
Get Marwood & I replied to jevlnuts's topic in Comics General
If the concensus is that CVA adds no value because we ourselves are able to determine eye appeal, then why do we a need CGC? Like many others, I don't need CVA to tell me that a book has great eye appeal / superior centering etc. But I don't need CGC to grade for me either. CGC are respected by many for providing their service, which helps those who can't grade or spot restoration etc. Why are we so critical of another company for providing their service? If my Mum wanted to secretly buy me a comic for my birthday, which would I want her to buy me - an AF15 with or without a CVA sticker? It would be a silly statement to say that a CGC graded book commands the same money as an equivalent raw. The CGC encapsulation adds value financially. So, if we have two graded books in the same grade, one with a CVA and one without - the CVA will almost certainly get the owner more money at auction, meaning the sticker adds value. Poor CVA. Give them a break. They're not hurting anybody, and all they're doing is providing a service that CGC, for whatever reason, choose not to.- 218 replies

Quite right liz. 'Slab' backwards is only one L short of 'balls'. And that, coincidently, is what I think when I see many slabs: "Flipping L, what a load of balls".

Justin Hammer / Peter Cushing
Get Marwood & I replied to Cushing Fan's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
He doesn't look particularly 'pleasant' on the cover of your bio does he! I imagine you could create a great journal on here about these gentlemen. I'd follow it. The wife and I are off to Whitstable next week. I'll post a picture of the Peter Cushing pub when I get back -

Did you ever see this film? I had the poster on my wall as a teenager and can remember drawing three of the four faces. I used to be able to draw back then. I'll let you guess which three got done, and which didn't You never seem to hear of it anymore. Oddly forgotten.... But I was there in 83. On me todd -
Oops, sorry Jim, I got the wrong number. I meant 124 124, 149 and 163 always eluded me: Here's my old 151 (before I sold it) - so at least one Dec 1975 MJI's did exist: Have you seen a 124! Yes please - but for 124 ! (and well done)

You're welcome Cushing Fan -
I also agree that it looks like the same book, with the same creases in the dark areas. I'm not an expert on signatures by any means, but if you google Hugh Hefner's signature, they all look sharp and 'quickly' delivered, like authentic signatures tend to. This looks 'lumpy', as if someone has pencilled a signature and then slowly inked over it to ensure it 'looked' right. Maybe it reflects his age or something, but it looks odd even without the halo that others have mentioned. Sorry. Hope we're all wrong of course

Thanks Jim. Did you ever see an ASM 151 with an insert? I never saw one in ten years of looking

You might have seen it, but it's discussed here by Bob Layton: http://www.boblayton.com/interview-with-bob-by-dolmen-magazine/ Vicente: You also created Justin Hammer, a major villain in the series. Do you remember how was he created? Bob: As well as being a tribute to the late, great Peter Cushing, David and I needed to create a corporate counterpart for Tony Stark. Hammer was originally created to be a cautionary tale of what Tony Stark could have become if he stayed on his path as a global war profiteer. As benevolent as Tony was portrayed in our series, Hammer represented the other side of that coin. They were two men essentially in the same line of work, but with diametrically opposed moral views. -
