Whether you like or dislike what the Meyer's have done with some of these books you have to admit that the finished product looks pretty amazing. 

I wonder how large parts of the red and yellow are inpainted ...?

I guess that is what they used to call a "Franken extensive" back in the day here on the very boards ...?

The term originated in "Frankenstein" extensive.

Color touch, tear seals, piece added, top & bottom trimmed. And of course someone wrote "Stan Lee" on the cover in giant, ugly, and barley legible black magic marker. 

alas, - one more grail defaced.

At ComicLink. I guess after sitting there for a while in the buy it now section with a high offer of 375 000$ the seller decide to take it to auction.

just sold my 3.5. Looking to upgrade real soon

So YOU snagged the 9.2 ...?

Get "Messages in a Bottle" in paperback if you are ok with a soft cover.  It can be found for as little at $15 new from Amazon sellers.

For a hardcover, get "B. Krigstein Comics" - which will set you back considerably more for a new copy (as its out of print), but used copies are fairly affordable.

"B. Krigstein v. 1" is a great bio.

Thnx ...

Thanks for putting me out My misery.

Kriegstein looks like pure awesomeness.

Any archive edtions to be recommended?

  I'm going back to the GA boards now.  LoL!

 

More seriously, he was a highly influential artist for EC, Atlas, and DC in the late 1940s and 1950s who is known for his innovative panel arrangements and time breakdowns, especially as used in the story "Master Race," from Impact 1, from which the page above is taken.  Art Spiegelman famously argued in a thesis back in 1969 that Master Race was the greatest comic story ever drawn.  Krigstein was a huge influence on Steranko and Miller, among others.  Fantagraphics has some great books on Krigstein that I encourage you to seek out.

Absolutely true.  Even those become giants, like Miller.  In my opinion, the following sequences from DD 164 are in my top 5 of comic panel sequences of all time:

But, my NUMBER 1 panel sequences are from the story that clearly inspired Miller and of which the above is a homage:

Awesome, - whos this guy Kriegstein?

I put this X-Men 1 9.2 on watch as it was going to auction on ComicConnect.

Soon no complete copy of 27, regardless of resto, PQ etc. will be had for less.

The popculture guys 'Dave & Adams cards' I think had a HG mod-restored on their homepage askin 595K. Did it sell?

Court's Detective 27 2.5 is going to auction on ComicLink. Highest offer on the exchange was 375K. At auction I expect it to hit the 400K+ mark.

And the 4.0 restored graded by the other company went for $20,500.

Looks like both of these restored copies sold for only a small fraction of their condition guide price.  Most probably due to the fact that they were both flagged with Extensive Restoration.

And yet the fugly looking 0.5 Trimmed copy also graded by the other company was still able to hit $16,000. 

 

The 16K .5 makes the 7.5 ext look like a steal ...

On a side note: anybody noticed what the two CC restored Bat1's went for last night?

did they wreak havoc ...?

I am truly sorry to hear this.

still got the early x-men stamped in my imagination.

1. Can someone please explain to me the logic behind the cracking open a CBC container/comic and putting it in a bag    Does anyone over the age of 12 years really want to actually read a comic book? They're written for KIDS. If you really want to read it buy a reprint! 

Yo been smokin crack ...?
