Sorry to hear this. Commissions? Personal art? Silver Age covers?

This drove me crazy for years... where is that new background from?

I would love almost anything from issue 2 where he tries to swim the Atlantic!

Don't those look worse in pics than real life? Remember the Batman 9.8 thread. I'll look for it later tonight.

TOD 10 was my first Dracula book. Now I am trying to get them all so be careful! Probably 1 million copies of 227 printed too. Multiple copies hoarded by Adams fans and dealers.

I'm not a presser but it doesn't look too bad. If there is no "crack" in the gold showing the card stock underneath I think you should be okay.

Did a dealer get that Ghost 2 cover? Wanted it but ran out of time..... and money.

I think the best way to get those first 50 is to buy a guys collection. One at a time slabbed with shipping is gonna be $$$. I would save 10 grand and let everyone at the flea markets and shops know you want them and have $$$. I have seen an early run of Daredevil in a grocery bag sell for $150 to a shop. No bags or boards. I was at flea market flipping through books and I said to a guy I love these old Lois Lanes. He said "really"? "I got boxes of that junk!" 900 dollars later I got 3 longs of Silver Age DC. There is a sweet GSX1 9.8 on the boards right now for $9000.

I've bought and traded and gave away the Cockrum Byrne issues so many times over the last 35 years..... About 10 years ago I was up late and an auction was ending on ebay with 1 terrible pic and condition described as "Good" I kept zooming in and saying to myself these gotta be VF/NM! If they were Good some spine roll or something would stand out. Got 101-143 for 200 bucks. All F+ to NM. What grade are you looking for in early issues? I don't have anything below that tattered 24. Oh, you got a Gold 297???

http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1081795 Sweet Christmas! There is the OA for the cover!

What about GSX 1 and the Annuals? I just dumped a short box of bronze for cheap. I know I still have an xtra 140 but I think my 109 went in the box. I'll check later. I have never owned of copy of 100 for some reason. My brother found a VG+ copy of 3 at a yard sale for 50 cents about 10 years ago. My 94 looks VF but it has tape on the back cover. I would skip all the reprints, look close at the covers they are all redrawn hack. Plus sellers see "X-Men 72!!" and think $$$$. My first issue was 185 and found down to 181 on the spinners. I was at a new school and I always carried comics with me. A kid said you wanna buy my books? I got 106-178 for a dollar a pop. I told him they were worth more but he was over them, more into skateboards and chicks. When he brought them to school I carried them around for a bit then just ditched and went home to read them. I have seen a long box of 137 before. I think it was an interview with Bud Cole (?) and he said no one really cared about early Daredevil and X-men so he had a long box of both #1s in Mint.

Does it Sparkle? Sunshine!

Is now a good time to pitch my 12 issue maxi series.... Snake Eyes and the Black Panther vs. Venom? Guest starring Cloak and the Shroud!

You just reminded me that I have plenty of Campbell covers just for that glossy girl on the front. Gotta stop doing that!

I like good covers too OC but I gotta have the whole package.

Who inked the cover to Avengers 264? That's my fave. Anybody have a scan? I've never seen the OA for it.

But are the insides any good? I find many new books art just rough sketch layout talking heads with lens flares and color gradients. The ads look better than the stories on many books these days. Without a master storyteller artist on the inside those are just square pogs to me.

buy and sell prices/stories????

3000 is not enough! Tec 168 Action 252 Capt. Marvel 18 Tec 233 OA Covers or Splashes or epic action panels.

I'm also wondering if there is a different Superman head under that Action 44.

My Superman 81 (about VF) came from a locker. To pay the storage fee the old timer will sell one book when he needs to. The middle man told me there are stacks and stacks of high grade Golden Age DC!

87 and 98 etc in no reserve auction, the rest...

What about Thor's double grip?
