Issue 25 was amazing. I'm interested to see how that ties into the whole Marvel universe going forward.

Same, I hope they do tie it to the whole marvel Universe going forward. 

I'm through issue 25 of Immortal Hulk, it's a unique take on him and a unique book, I like the body horror and the existential captions.

Link: Some well regarded series of the last year or so.

I love these, awesome. Here's the wikipedia for the general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_(locomotive)

It was "stolen by Union spies in the Great Locomotive Chase, an attempt to cripple the Confederate rail network during the American Civil War." I find that really cool and by extension the books. Thank you.

One of the earliest comics about railroads is How He Reigned and How He Mizzled by Alfred Crowquill. You can find some discussion about it here.

Does that say 1849? wow

This is the nonsense that I am going to one day either lose my life over or lose my freedom.  After working all day, I refuse to move to the side to make way for this nonsense.  

 

I'm glad Chicago train cars for the most part aren't wide enough to do this.

Dang I was hoping for something like "Wow this is exactly the thing I was looking for!!!  WOW"

I'm very very much impressed, edit: the board delivered.  But if I don't come off that way it's because I'm also feeling kind of depressed. 

I'm surprised and glad anyone responded at all honestly.

I would check out promotional railroad comics.  Here's a link to some images.

Thanks for the help. I don't think I'll have a ton of luck because it seems the farther back you go the more comic books were just for kids... kids buy candy and toys, not tourism. 

I'm looking for a comic in which one of the following things is present:

The story references a real life railroad company, or train line. 

There is an advertisement for a railroad company or train line. 

Hey guys, I'm Kyle, 23. I'm really curious about the history of comic books, my favorite Superhero team is the Fantastic Four and my favorite non-super hero book is Sandman.   

Looks like a 1.8 to me.

2.0? I hate being the first to post a PGM as I usually ending up looking foolish later.

Tear thru 1/3 of interior pages is a lot. Eye test on covers a beautiful book. But again interior page tears?

Looking at it again and being precise, it's just 4 pages not a third. Still not an ideal thing of course. 

Has a half inch tear at the bottom of the page through about 1/3 of the interior.

This looks pretty nice to me. The bottom right corner area on the front cover and the lower left corner of the back cover appear to have some creasing. My question is, does that creasing extend through the entire book in that area?  

No that creasing does not happen in the interior. 

The book is in pretty good condition overall. Has a good shine to it, but the cover isn't perfect as you can see.

Your thoughts are much appreciated.
