Congrats on the grades! That ASM 252 getting a 9.0 is kind of scary.

That's issue 101, very cool book.

I'm shocked that Corben didn't make that central figure a female in a clinging wet t-shirt. Could have gone down as a classic Corben, instead it's just a really cool shark cover.

I can't tell on their website...is this company based in the US or Canada?  I can't tell if the prices they are quoting me are CDN or US $$.

I'm pretty sure they are US. They sell on ebay also but the total was a little cheaper on the website. I think I paid around $70 (Including shipping) for 100 of them.

How do you get 5 to 15 books inside a flat rate envelope?

Legal Size Priority Mail Envelope. Last one I mailed out had 13 books in the mailer and it slid right into the Legal Size Envelope no problem. Was even able to add extra cardboard layers, in addition to the 2 layers that the mailer already had.

Google "Gemini Comic Mailers" and buy them directly from their website. The reason I never liked selling on ebay was the hassle/time of boxing and shipping the books. The Gemini Mailers have revolutionized packing books!! Usually I can get 3-4 books with extra cardboard into the mailer and still keep the weight under the 1 pound limit for First Class Mail pricing. If your shipping 5-15 books you can load up the mailer and drop it into a Flat Rate Priority Mail Legal Envelope. I used to have a $30 minimum that I would price any book I listed on ebay because of the time involved in packing, I'm down to a $9.99 with the mailers.

Not doubting you created a very similar character but Wolfman and Wein created a character called Black Nova for a fanzine called Super Adventures (published in 1968). Costume wise it's an almost exact copy of the Nova character introduced in 1976.
