  1. Granted, Baker covers are great but there's something about the aesthetics of the St John cover logos and graphics that enhance the desirability. Well, for me anyway. Not that I own any of them Nice to look at though
  2. Captain America 142 F- $4 Captain America 145 VF- $8 Captain America 168 F- $10
  3. That's not a stealth plane. It's what was referred to as a flying wing plane. First developed during WW 2
  4. The only thing that bothers me more than the letter U inserted into words is fuzzy logos
  5. Some people will say that all modern Marvels suck. Of course, that can't possibly be true. There are good stories out there as well as bad, just like any era in Marvel history. However, the concept of a coherent universe that doesn't change every couple of years doesn't exist anymore. I don't expect Marvel to be able to reignite the wonder I felt when I was a kid. I just want them to get back to some sense of continuity and numbering. Enough with the reboots. I say all this knowing it will never happen though and as I've said before I'm fine with that. My money these days go towards the comics I truly enjoy. I haven't enjoyed new Marvel comics in a long, long time.
  6. I think that's the way most long time real readers of comics feel. They don't have to relive the nostalgia of it all, they're just interested in the continuing story. It's really hard to follow that continuing story when the story and the history potentially changes with each new writer and each new story arc and each new # 1 and each company mandated character milieu reboot.
  7. Never use kids from the Simpsons as your focus group. #poochiesucks
  8. Exactly. That's the real score in that transaction
  9. Definitely not the last one. Having tried a few samples from them, they overgrade. In all my years on this board, this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say that Highgradecomics.com overgrades comics. Certainly not my experience EDIT - Ignore the above. rjrjr made an honest mistake. He wasn't talking about highgradecomics.com
  10. I love pawing (gently) through long boxes and I love unorganized stuff. It's like a treasure hunt. It's how I found two copies of United Features Peanuts # 1.
  11. Bronze Age Covers in Negative Why go B&W when you can go negative? Have at it lads!
  12. A good one. I will say though Bill Sienkiewicz new style seemed better than Keith Giffen's new style. Absolutely, although I didn't appreciate it at the time. When he was drawing early issues of new Mutants, I couldn't look at them.
