    OK, I'm off to bed now. I've got work tomorrow and everything. I shall dream of horrible comic covers and hope tomorrow to be horrifically surprised by the overnight offerings in my absence

    Now come on Ken, we know how much you love this one already. Love it or loathe it (and I'm in the latter camp) you have to admit the artwork is extraordinarily life like.

    Warming to the subject, everyone seems to agree the cover is stunning, potential extra holes notwithstanding. So, what circumstances would lead to it being taken off its original book and stuck on to another book with staple holes that don't align? How could the original interior have got to the point condition wise of warranting that action?
  4. Get Marwood & I
    I agree, about the holes and you being pretty
  5. Get Marwood & I
    Oh dear. Have to say, I'm leaning towards full agreement with you, but there's something about that big mad eye.....

    Trust you to bring V-d into it liz

    Indeed. That's a lovely signature line you have there by the way. Impressive in both content and symmetry Now, do you have a favourite horrible cover then Martin?
  8. Get Marwood & I
    I can see two dots below each staple too, when you zoom in. Often in these cases the evidence is much more apparent with the book in hand. The internal pages are cream to off white, yet the cover spine and title wording look bone white. Maybe in hand, the cover doesn't match the interior in a very obvious way, and the encapsulation hides this. It's fairly pointless really grade querying slabbed books. You can't see what's inside, and they often don't tell you of internal issues on the label or, indeed, the graders notes. If there are any that is.

    Drawn by a crackpot!

    I like the fact that the fantastical super advanced portal from another world has got a wooden door on it

    I can't make my mind up. Meanwhile, is she levitating on that chair?

    Yikes, that must hurt That would've been been a good addition to my old 'position impossible' thread which, alas, got pulled in its entirety by a mod with no sense of humour. Poor thread. But this thread is less about uncomfortable anatomy (no more Liefeld threads!) and more about horribly drawn covers. Dodgy leg aside, the Batman cover is great! Try again

    I believe the cool kids phrase of today is 'OMG'

    Don't mess with the May Now, who's turn is it? Byrne Spidey got the thumbs down. Next book please
  18. Get Marwood & I
    He did, didn't he?

    Go on then, let's see one of your personal 'faves'. That's what the threads for

    She does, yes.... You're right of course. I knew I should've gone down the "he's carrying a colostomy bag" route instead. No it doesn't. I can't stand McFarlane. But his webbing was outrageously intricate. See, I told you. Yes. Blindfolded.

    Hello. Whilst perusing price variant finesse, I was reminded of how totally unsatisfactory, nay compositionally hideous, this rotten Spidey cover from Byrne (every copy please) is: Let's take a closer look (Yes, I know....) Firstly, Byrne achieves what should be technically impossible - making MJ look like a horse faced ugly dragon woman: Next, we have a bizarre podgy left leg extending, so it seems, from Spidey's left arse-cheek: Ouch! Next, we have a ridiculously unnecessary 'person in the background' disturbing the visual flow of MJ and, bizarrely, they're the best drawn thing on the cover: Especially silly given the lack of detail elsewhere on the cover (note the laziest webbing you've ever seen cutting through the void. Hardly McFarlane is it: Back on MJ, ahem, the only possibly titivating piece on the cover - a nice shot of thigh - is obscured by inane wording: Get out the way! And Spidey is frowning, as usual, probably because his oversized head has no neck and extends from his chest, which can only hurt (my eyes): Look, he can't even sign his flippin signature in a way that's identifiable: What a horrible cover! What is he, 3 years old? I say Burn 'baby' Byrne! Your turn
  22. Get Marwood & I
    Probably! After a lifetime of Spidey and Hulk though, I've finally bucked the trend and found a new love ....

    Do you think you'd ever sell the lot Buzz? Just keep a small batch at home as a reminder? Me and my brother did. He kept his Hulk 181 and an original art page along with a handful of favourite covers. That's his connection to his collecting past. I did similar, and kept my early Spidey's. But recently I've started buying again, initially for research but more recently for the sheer love of it all. I don't think a true collector ever walks away completely.

    Nice cover! I like Patsy Walker I always find books with significant flaws tough to grade. It looks like a 3.0 overall but I'm not sure how CGC would treat a tear like that that goes all the way through the book. So I'd settle on 2.5 if I was putting it up for sale. It looks better than that though, especially the top half. And I see you've been playing around with signatures
  25. Get Marwood & I
    Agreed. Golders nose is slightly smaller than that
