Ms. Marvel #1 in 9.8 is now apparently a nine hundred dollar book. what in the name of T.M. Maple is goin' on around here

Thanks, Steve! The guy I bought it from had a mini run of about 6 or 7 books from this title. All looked to be really nice, iirc

this is the last book i've actually bought, nearly two years ago. my son is murder on the comic budget.

I still have the book I posted back on page one. Still in the original slab (thumbs u

Go strong or go home! Very nice. That Cap 1 is insane

I've never seen that annual before. Is it a hardcover? This is from the UK, is it not? It looks like the same setup as the Marvel Annuals... Very sweet. Did not know they existed. (thumbs u

Ten cent Charlton being discussed in a hot comics thread. I like it ! shhhhhh I don't have all I need yet! What next...people.going after my Tower and Archie Superhero titles? I eagerly await the U.N.D.E.R.S.E.A. Agent movie

way to hijack the thread, 50s. if i thought you were doing it on purpose, i'd have given you a gold star for trolling. as it stands, it will merely serve as a template for future use

No the guy had a lot of Silver Age Marvel and some DCs. I was #14 in line and one guy in front of me went in and just started grabbing books like crazy, where as I just took my time and picked out books for me and my budget Cool. Thanks for sharing. (thumbs u

Cool find. Did you buy anything else? Since it was for charity, and all? There should have been 2 copies of that there. Did you only buy the one copy? Also is there any value in it? I picked it up and looked through it and didn't think much of it. Last time I was there I picked up a good 20 or so Birds of Prey comics written by Gail Simone 1st appearance of Hellboy, of sorts. A splash of a character named Hellboy by Mignola. So yeah, something of value. Nice pickup there

Those are sharp. Was the OO strictly an X-Men / JLA collector, or did someone else get to the books before you, or what? What's the story there, out of curiousity

The are Mohawks as well: As are these;

yeah, it's one of those "i know i have heard it before, and i'm pretty sure i know how it's used, but i'd probably better look it up just in case" type of words. plus, it fits this book - hell, the entire title - like a glove. a size too small, even. i bet The Captain didn't have to look it up though

The insouciance, Captain! Can you not feel it?

Yah he offered it to me privately via pm but my son had just been born and I didn't want him to become an orphan, given my wife's potential reaction to that purchase. I guess I should have made a thread about the first appearance of Mimic or Whirlwind or the Wrecker or some other supremely important character, given the overwhelming interest I find so far

I got bored collecting Doom Patrol. Jeezly-Pete, I should hope so! I've been bored for almost eight years now, you'd think I'd be dead or something

Clubs are for children. This is an Association of like-minded folk who realise that My Greatest Adventure 80 might just be the single greatest comic book of all time...or at the very least, just as worthy of a thread dedicated to the assembled images of copies procured throughout the years by people of a certain, shall we say high level of taste who can appreciate things which escape the notice of the average collector ***coughcoughmarvelzombiescoughcough*** as some of the other threads around here. Show them, and feel the waves of admiration, the burgeoning jealousy and what in all likelihood is a colossal amount of insouciance from those who have not yet seen the light! This book was a GPA low purchase at the time I bought it, which explains the giddy tone of this post somewhat; So? Who's next?

Nice book, for a Marvel.

I want to personally thank the person who bought the My Greatest Adventure 80 7.5w slab in the last comiclink auction. Twin Cities ped, sure, but holy mackerel at the hammer price. That's a nice ROI for the person who bought it in the original HA auction back in '11 You're welcome! I've had trouble finding the book (its been in my WTB thread for months). Its a tough key to find in HG, especially right now, and White pages to boot. On top of that, I had a few little books that sold in the auction that I didn't have much into so even at the price I paid, I was still happy to have it. And there was another person that bid it up to the same amount. But since that was my high bid first, mine stuck. I also picked up a lower graded copy a few months ago that's at CGC that I may use to offset the cost even more. If anyone has any other copies in higher grade, please PM me (or any other books in my WTB thread)! As a person with more than a vested interest in the title, I've noticed MGA 80 prices have been on the rise as of late so it's not as though you are an extreme outlier here (thumbs u

.... I always thought this was a Moreira cover..... it's still a great one, nonetheless ....... to me this is where the SA really begins. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u I never paid much attention to the dialogue on the cover to MGA #1, but upon closer inspection, it's a definite tip-of-the-hat to one of the greatest movies EVER made: The Wages of Fear (1953). If you haven't seen it, I won't ruin it. I caught it once by chance on late-night TV about 25 years ago and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Subsequently, it was screened a few times in my local art-house cinema. Truly timeless, beautiful cinematography, brilliant, and category-defying every step of the way. Just see it. Great book ! It's the first time I see MGA #1, thanks for sharing ! The reference to the Clouzot movie seems obvious, a wonderful movie. The movie occasionally screens on TCM. Yves Montand was never better in the role of a lifetime. It's a riveting movie an edge-of your-seat thriller. I first saw the movie in Israrel back in the early 1970s. If you've not seen the movie, and are used to the modern method of storytelling, be aware that the first hour or so is all exposition and character development. The meat of the story happens in the latter half of Act 2 and all of Act 3. A definite must for cinephiles, though. Yes, that's a real pool of oil he's swimming in, no special effects. You'll see what I mean when you watch it

Thanks for posting these. It's nice to large images of books one would normally only see together in something like Gerber (thumbs u

I really need to rescan this.

Just putting this here for completeness' sake; I like your taste in books, sir! (thumbs u

I wish I could find the strength to care enough to remember. It was so, so long ago. I assume it had something to do with getting back into the hobby and looking for information about same
