  1. I think the sartorial choices of the guy are suspect. Purple pants that blend in with the easy chair? That red and yellow checkered shirt -- can it be any louder?
  2. And it's over. Those who are interested can see the numbers above. I've just noted the Top 10 as I don't think this method gives the best insight into positions 11 - 20. There were ties for second, sixth and ninth.
  3. I, too, am often saddened by the lack of appreciation from the peasants community for my exquisitely correct taste.
  4. Thanks for doing this additional research, which adds to the consensus that the given origin story has too many holes in it to give it any credibility.
  5. Stories and characters from Alexandre Dumas, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jules Verne have been leveraged by a variety of creators without damaging the reputation of the originators. The bad adaptations have not prevented others from trying their hand at the material.
  6. Sci-Fi as a genre was not the big seller that it became after Star Wars. Bill Gaines was proud of his sci-fi line, but had to subsidize it with the profits from his horror books. The timid publishing rate of Planets is most likely due to declining sales and concern for profitability.
  7. Probably ran out of that dreamy orange ink and didn't want to ruin the look with the leftover puce.
  8. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/superhero/captain-america-comics-33-mile-high-pedigree-timely-1943-cgc-fn-60-off-white-pages-when-was-the-last-time-you-saw-a-captain/a/805-5026.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 I'm pretty sure there is another one besides this one that was a high grade Cap cover issue.
  9. There was one besides that. I think it was a Cap cover but don't recall the title.
  10. I don't recall that Schwartz was ever involved in those titles.
  11. Heritage has sold at least one Church Timely hero book besides Red Raven. It was graded.
  12. A seldom used trick to make a striking fire image is to utilize pink in the coloring of the flames.
  13. I thought so when I was little. I still think so now.
  14. This is awesome work on your part. You done good! I'm not sure it is a good idea to wait on someone who is 20 years behind getting out a book on pedigrees. You, or someone, should reach out to her and follow up with any questions while that is still a possibility.
  15. Maybe you should have stopped after the second drink?
