  1. I guess once the series is finished it’s over, no reprints, no trade paperbacks, no digital. I wonder if the creators care that it will disappear like that. Is bad idea looking to get their properties optioned at all?
  2. My number 1 was also signed by Gaiman and McKean, at separate times back in the 90’s. Note that cgc won’t verify those signatures, I had to send my copy to another place, got a 9.6. So close... 🙂 I’m thinking cgc may offer that service in the future.
  3. there’s lots of slabbed facsimiles on ebay. Where did you find them for $1? That’s awesome 😎
  4. Warning sign of a potential chainsaw murderer, up there with furniture made of bones 😄 Is there a online resource that lists all of the facsimile editions?
  5. Wait, people collect actual barbed wire?!?
  6. Once Bad Idea is no longer Bad Idea are they still going to be reprinting Bad Idea branded books? Eniac 1 is the only reprint I’ve seen so far.
  7. I loved police squad when i was a kid 😄
  8. I really like the facsimile editions and have started looking for some I missed, I was surprised to see on ebay and mcs that some are expensive. Are these becoming collectible/valueable? Is there a checklist somewhere of all the issues?
  9. These are kind of like the modern whitmans, don’t you think? I like them too.
  10. I was reading the eternals 1 facsimile edition and saw this ad, I’ve never seen one of these before. I guess it’s for the old 12 inch figures? It’s hard to imagine Joes before 82.
  11. It’s an outlet/closeout kind of store, kind of like big lots. They’re pretty good for books and they’ve got a lot of trade paperbacks for cheap. https://www.ollies.us/home.html
  12. I found a copy of 6 in one of those $5 multipacks at Ollie’s last week. It’s the only time I’ve seen a book I like in one of those packs.
  13. I wanted to look at print runs for Department of Truth books (especially reprints) and I can’t find them anywhere. I can find them on comichron’s site when searching by month but I don’t see any print run numbers 🤷‍♂️
  14. Thanks, I’m the one with the white sheet background 🙄, I still don’t have good lighting or background 😄
  15. Skip to about 8 min in, these are the letters from issue 4 (the first issue with letters in it)
  16. It did predate the movie. In fact in our youtube show my friend and I have done episodes where we read the letters columns, it’s fascinating to hear people speak about how they hope the movie will be as good as the comic.
  17. I agree, if you weren’t “in on the joke” it would totally seem like they’re shutting down for good.
  18. The link just takes me to the main page, maybe I need an account 🤔 I’m glad they’re still doing well, it kind of felt like they were cooling down for a bit
  19. I’ll wager that the next incarnation will relax some of the rules and hopefully send their books to more stores than they currently do.
  20. I think he’s saying that they make the books so hard to get if your shop doesn’t carry them that it feels like getting lots of people to read them is not their top priority.
  21. Here’s mine, nothing fancy. Bought it for $350 in 2019.
  22. I didn’t know that either, now I need to check mine 🙂
  23. There is literally no marvel or dc silver age book I wouldn’t buy for a dollar 😄, even in terrible shape they’re awesome to me
