ask blazing bobster, he'll know.

you get one smack at me, and you just used it....don't get me started. or it's JIHAD!

im not going to comment anymore on this thread, though your arguement is new to me. everybody and their mother seems to have their own opinion and that's great, as long as your not preachin ......let sleeping dogs lie! banner!!!GL/GA 76? that's silver baby sorry i couldn't refuse

easy fan boy, without the watcher, galactus would have burped and flatuated the earth out.

tomb of dracula 10, 1st appearence of balde the vampire slayer, on front cover, fighting, and focal point of the story....all of the above. oops, i almost left out ASM 238 1st appearence of the hobgoblin.

re-read my signature again, if you can't figure it out, then it's not my "Junior high school tactics just lessen your credibility" fault your IQ isn't on the radar. your a network administrator, im sure your intellegent to read between the lines. or do you need CI to hold your hand? lessen my credibility...whatever! you have your opinions and i have mine, but please don't start the name calling.....and you say i have junior high school tactics?

i hear you smackin, but where's your proof for a debate? it's easy to jump on the bandwagon, but if you have no input in the debate, then your cause is irrevalant....oh CI, he's got his ear's plugged, and if your not on his bandwagon then your not intelligent to commincate on this debate. wha-...i thought so, case closed. bring it on dazzler # 1 was a joke, obviously you didn't get it.

CI, that's cold...and you wonder why you finished second to crusty in the recent poll. i still love you, but some people don't get your sense of humour (sarcasim) and take it the wrong way. i mean seriously, you think everybody agree's with your write up on your comicinvestor.com site? it's much easier to be the critic than the one being critiqued. so think about that next time before you make your judgements.

this article just opened up a whole new can of worms, the free press it got for this forum will result in higher traffic and new board members.

bob,

pimpsmash!

Sandman, i can't remember the issue number (it's between 11-19), but morpehus and death make a deal about a guy who claims you only die if you believe your going to die. So he lives through time periods to the modern day, that issue was damn fine!

Daredevil-also can't remember issue-what I always call the gun control book, where DD has the gun to Bullseye's head as he recounts the story of the kid with the gun.

that issue is the classic DD 191, when he was expeirmenting with his pencil style pre RONIN. DD is visits bullseye in the hospital after he crippled him in DD 181. that is a damn good issue, if anybody hasn't read that issue please pick it up.

isn't someone on this board looking for this particular issue?

i always was partial to ASM 8, you had to like the back up story by J.Kirby with the peter parker flash thompson boxing fight. Kirby's art with the back up fantastic four story was beautiful early marvel. im curious to read FF 51 now, since it's been highly touted on this board, guess i better buy an unslabbed copy.

odin88,

 

yeah but until the advent of CGC, it was hard to move NM Conan # 1's for above $125. but that's just my humble observation, i do think prices on Captain America 100 are ridiculous, the same book in the 80's was listed as high as only $25. the prices will come down as more and more come down the pike just like they had for Dr. Strange # 169 ,Submariner # 1, & Nick Fury agent of sheild # 1. But i think David Hasselhoff had something to do wth killing the demand for that particular issue.

this will kill any discussion of people posting that GL/GA 76 was the start of the Bronze Age. check out the evidence, DC comics doesn't lie:

Comic Investors,

 

That's what makes comic books so great, it certainly creates basis for a healthy debate.

 

post on,

As in regard to prices in 1988, yeah i remember...i remember that ASM 1 and FF 1 were at or around $1K too. If only i was my age now back then, i would've hoarded all those books. As for "Check out the scene in Hulk 181 where he gives Wendigo everything he's got and is amazed the creature is still breathing." Wendigo was a native american spirit/legend, of course he couldn't die. And for this comment "These two guys were very different than Marvel's current stable of mainstream characters" what about Galactus and the Silver Surfer in 1966, weren't they totally different than anything else in the Marvel universe at the time? I do recall it was voted as the best Marvel storyline ever written FF 48-FF 50. With great power comes great responsibility

Comic Investor,

 

Your missing the point, it took 12 years for punny's first appearence in ASM 129 to break $10. Here's another great example, book was released in August 1974 in Astonishing Tales #25 (am i stating to ring a bell?) 1st appearence of Deathlok. Here is another book that predates GS X-Men # 1, but did not get hot till his character was rejuvenated in his own mini-series in 1990, when Marvel was doing it rebirth of 1970's characters. I'll say it again, GS X-Men # 1 was a platform of launching reader enthusiasim in super-hero's again. As mentioned before in my previous posts, that's just IMHO.

 

 

Comic Investor,

 

As in "HOT" books prior to GS X-Men 1, i'll use 2 of the books you listed, Hulk 181 and ASM 129 first appearence of wolvie and punny. You have to remember the first appearence of punny didn't get hot until the release of the limited series drawn by Mike Zeck in 1986. Wolvie got popular after he joined the X-Men and he was viewed as a threat to Scott Summers (Jean Grey) and his uncontrollable violent animal characteristics that later followed down the line in X-Men. With those books being virtually unknown for quite some time after their inital release. That's just my arguement, but everybody has their own personal opinion, and i continue to welcome the debate. knowledge is power!

Comic Investor,

 

So your trying to tell me that Showcase # 4 was a hit right out of the box? It took nearly 3 years after the revitalizing the Flash in 1956 to have his series start again in 1959 with issue # 105. After the Flash, it was Lois Lane in Showcase # 8, then later on down to issue # 22 was the 1st S.A. Green Latern. Then we all know who was introduced in November 1961 by Marvel. But that's just my arguement to everything that has been debated on this thread.

Bronty,

 

you been smokin crack? if the B.A. is 70-74 then that's got to be the shortest age of all. even CGC says modern age is 90's to present, the B.A. starts with GS XMEN 1, what else in your bronze age (70-74) that was a catalyst of things to come? and don't tell me Howard the Duck.
