Get Marwood & I

Actually guys, ignore this - the thread was hijacked by children within 30 seconds so I've given up on it. Your thread rocks by the way - some great stuff here

So all newsstands that are priced the same as DM books are same as newsstands priced higher/lower than DM ones. Got it Yes, unless they are the same issue (like the ones posted in this thread). Please don't allow your ignorance and stupidity to ruin Dog Like Sparky's thread. Ladies! Ladies whoa! Looks like I hit her nervers again! What is it about you and people not agreeing with you, disagreeing with others I mean I could kill you again with insults but I believe in civility OK guys, you've pretty much ruined the thread now so I won't be contributing anything further after this. My intention was to try to expand on our collective knowledge in this area, not to squabble like children. I doubt any board member with something to add will do so with this nonsense going on. Another missed opportunity. Thanks and good night.

Welcome to the Boards!! Indeed!

Hmmm. That's why I started a new thread, to get away from bickering. Facts aside, no bickering please.

Cheers

Hi Guys, Sorry if this has been covered already, but if anyone here has any info on these: Marvel Oct 1999 ~ Jan 2000 Newsstand Price Variants ....please dive in! Cheers

Guys, This information has been touched on in other threads, but none of them seemed to go anywhere and most of them included lots of pointless bickering. So here's my own attempt to clarify the existence of Marvel newsstand price variants. Back in the day when I was an ASM Completist, I collected the following books: As you can see, as well as the usual $1.99 Direct Editions, three Newsstand versions exist for each ASM numbers 10, 11 and 13 at $1.99, $2.29 and $2.49. I never found an issue 12, but I think Marvel skipped that one as it was a double sized $2.99 special issue. So it looks like Marvel did a similar test market exercise to the 30 / 35 cent variants unless anyone can identify another reason as to why they would produce three different Newsstand prices for the same issue. Being an ASM Completist, I never went too much further to see if the price variants existed for all titles, but the few scans I kept from online sources seem to indicate that they do. Here are all nine Spideys: I'm a little surprised that there is not more definitive information out there about these, given the amount of collectors who go after price variants. So, does anyone have any more examples to add, or additional information? Is anyone interested in hunting them all down? My days are done, but it would be a great pass time for a 30 / 35 cv collector who had achieved the set and was looking for a new challenge.... Onwards!

ASM 179 has been difficult for me as well. I have 176,177 and 178 with the Pizzazz insert but still no 179. I think I had three at one point. I picked one up at a London Fair thinking it was a MJI. Nice surprise when it wasn't. Alas, all sold now

I always liked the look of issues where the black ink was either absent or running out....

Cheers. Here's another Lizard issue - I saw this on Ebay ages ago but didn't get it:

This one looks great once you put on your 4-D glasses..... Great! Gives you a headache if you look at it too long

This one is not from manufacturing. What's happened here is that this book was the first book in a comic book box, placed somewhere in direct sunlight for a long time. The sunlight has caused a fade on the front cover area that was exposed because of the handle/hole in the front of the box. I knew there was a reason I posted here! It's so obvious now you say it. How did I miss that!? Well done Sir

Amazing Spider-Man #179 and it appears to be missing some of the lines in the bar code. Spot on

Gil Kane outer - Ross Andru inner

I loved Pizzazz Inserts. They definitely weren't put into pence copies. If you find one, it's a construct. One thing that is rarely commented upon is the different types of insert. Amazing Spidey 176, 177 and 178 had the distinctive red and blue version: But ASM 179 had this pretty yellow and green one: I always found the 179 much harder to locate. My first copy was a CGC 9.6 which arrived from the states in a jiffy bag smashed to pieces. But that's another story....

Can anyone tell me what cover this is, and what's missing from it?

Excellent! I do like a wonky cut. Very difficult to fit in a mylar sleeve though. Anyone familiar with this cover should spot the error:

I love that book. Didn't Ross Andru do the art though?

Error fred overload! Some nice miswraps there. I can see I'm going to have to dig deep into that flash drive..... ?

Hello everybody. I started a new Errors post and was promptly directed here by Mr Moon. What a cracking load of errors so far! Here's some more:

Guys, Back in the day when I was an ASM completist, I collected scans of any Filipino comics I saw online, while I was confirming whether the ASM copies (see my previous post) were reprints or first prints (like the Canadians, Pence, AUS) Here are a few of those images - they may have already been posted so sorry if I'm duplicating. I also did some screen dumps of an ebay seller who listed a load of Tagalog Marvels many moons ago - would anyone like to see them? I can dig them out if so. Cheers

Does the body rule the mind.........

.....looks like the cat likes it too...... ?

That's one splendid looking whole world window ? Hope you liked the song Spike.......
