  1. L.O.L Just in jest (i hope) ...... Many a true word spoken in jesticles

  3. "Look at this print!! It's impossible! Nothing can be so huge!!" "Torr can!" "Oh, right, fair point" "Quiet!! Torr might be anywhere!" "Well pardon me but I think that's a little silly if you don't mind me saying" "Quiet!!" "No, I won't be quiet. Have you seen how big Torr is? There's no way he could be 'anywhere'!" "What?" "Well, could he be in a phone box? Could he be in my Mum's car? I don't think so" "For chrissakes be quiet!!" "Oh, here we go, one little difference of opinion and Mr Poopy Pants comes out. That's you all over Barry"
  4. Now I think that you two have got this all wrong. This is clearly a case of a story within a story if you look closely. Obviously, one story is the fact that a 200 foot mind bending carpet is terrorising the city. If you look more closely however, the real human story here is the fact that the girl in red has just cracked one off with a noise like sellotape off a window and this has broken carpet monster's spell. It's aftermath is moving to her right, and the two guys in front of her have just caught it full on. They may never recover. Spell broken, the two guys behind are still reacting to the noise and have yet to catch the full drift, but, as you can see from their faces, the slow realisation of its full horror is beginning to dawn. Mr Wong, the guy to the left of our flatulent princess is of course used to this kind of thing and is expressing simple mild disdain. He was never under any spell as he only speaks Mandarin. Despite everything, our lady in red still thinks she can tough it out and blame it on the aforementioned Mr Wong, if challenged. All of this is academic however, as the carpet monster is about to unleash his own other-worldly guff and this will kill every living thing in a 50 mile radius.

  6. That first part is irrelevant because the OPG is a bad joke, but for how much "should" they be selling? Now I'm not a betting man, but something tells me that @Philflound may at this moment be thinking of a useful four letter word beginning with c and ending in t. Yes, that's it. Clot.
  7. Don't be sorry! We're talking about comics nicely. It's all good ?
  8. Alas, I did not. I had a chance to get one for a measly (in context) £500 many moons ago at the London Comic Fair but I thought I'd wait. Yes, I know.... Shame though. I'd have had a full set of Spidey Pence Price Variants if I'd got it.

  10. Nicely summarised @Foley @Jaydogrules - why don't you surprise us all and, just for once, give an inch and admit to some failings in your posting style? Go on. Be a better man. You can do it.
  11. I did the same, but on GCD: https://www.comics.org/issue/25714/ Being the second story, page 16 sounds about right. Great page regardless
  12. Nice colours. If I was putting that on Ebay, from what I can see (bottom right creasing, top left impact bend (?) back cover light staining, lower staple tears) I would go 5.0 to 5.5
  13. Come to think of it, why is the Amazing Spider-Man collecting thread? Has he run out of webbing or something?
  14. Who's paying for my scotch? Roy. He's loaded from what I can see.
  15. I feel bad about it now @namisgr, but I once hit a spider with a rolled up news paper and he went 'ouch' and scuttled off. I'm not sure I would be able to do the same, if hit by a proportionately upscaled copy of The Daily Bugle? I've just been reading this thread, or the last few pages anyway. One of my problems is I lose concentration quickly and end up cat-scanning posts. So I tend to miss crucial points. That said, my take on this occasion is that @Jaydogrules (a most modest moniker, don't you think?) seems to want to belittle and discredit experienced comic people's opinions for fun, in a particularly humourless, sour and unappealing way because a particular book sold for a particular price on a particular day, and this in turn means that white pages can have no merit. Maybe I've got that wrong though. But ask yourself this. Right or wrong, who would you rather have a drink down the pub with - @G.A.tor, @namisgr, Vintage Roy or our Jaydog? End of message.
  16. Have to say, of that 8,000 many were 'duplicates', e.g. pence copy, MJI copy, etc. But in respect of your point above, many were the kind of comics you would only buy if you were a completist. Only a completist would buy 'Marvel Adventures Spider-Man' for example. No regular comic store would go out of their way to stock that title. As a completist, that's where Mile High came in handy as they have the resources to keep the drek in stock. Extreme completism I wouldn't recommend. If it could go back, the money I spent on every issue of 'Power Pack' with Spidey in for example I would put towards a key, or just any other non-Spidey book title that I liked the look of. If you look at the 40 or so variant covers to the ASM v3 #1 relaunch, while it was cool to have the set, most of the covers were poor / done for the sake of it. You stand back and look at them all laid out, they look great as a group, then it hits you you've spent £1,000 on 40 terrible covers.
