Rose and Thorn #4 VF some scuffs to white areas $3

Most of those books present pretty nicely VF+/-, but yeah you payed the Comic Con premium on them. Not sure which of those books would go for $80, but it was certainly over priced. Personally, I prefer buying online, with nice large, clean scans, where I can judge a grade and do some comparison shopping. If you enjoyed the convention experience, that's not a bad price for an afternoons entertainment.

Also, first Erik Larsen work at Marvel. And oddly, scripted by Stan Lee.

Had to go look through my collection on why I don't remember this book. I'm a Larsen fan but teaming a young Larsen with Vince Colletta is just about the ugliest work I have ever seen in a Marvel book ( that includes the Frank Robbins Captain America mess of a run).

Just a heads up that the Taschen site has the Marvel Comics Library Amazing Spider-man vol 1 at half price right now. Regular $200, marked down to $100.

Would have loved a Planetary announcement too, but maybe that's Gunn-DC Phase 2 

I was thinking the same thing, but then thought how could a movie do justice to that series? It might work better as an HBO Max series or even an animated run. Give me "Planetary" and "100 Bullets" in  well done HBO Max series and I could die happy.

Have a handful of these books, bought in the 1990's. Not a pedigree collector, just curious. Most of the books, while nice looking, have issues somewhere on them. Bought a lot of books from both Greg Buls and Howard Harris in the 1980's, but that was before they moved to Arizona and discovered Circle 8 collection. That said, they had a bunch of connections here in San Antonio and wouldn't be surprised if a number of the books made it over here. Not grading, but if I did, would they get a pedigree designation or is this too easy to duplicate?

If you haven't checked out his work on Charlton's Phantom comic, give it a try. I'm not a Phantom fan, but Newton's work on it was beautiful. His painted covers were crazy good. Di ck Giordano hired him to work for Charlton and then brought him to DC when he moved over there.

Had to unwrap it 

First,  Christmas KUDOS to @comicginger1789 for sending the box wrapped.  It was a fun surprise to see that package arrive. 🎅🎁

Still can’t believe it survived completely unscathed. Surely some kind of Adamantium coating on that stuff.

My ‘specifications’ were simply “It’s Christmas. Keep it a mystery”.  I’m enjoying the mystery.  Box remains sealed....for now 

Thanks Eric 

 

And let’s make your challenge open to everyone, but just for some festive fun

 

That's from his Marvel Team-Up appearance in #37. Sal Buscema and Vince Colletta at their finest!

Though I need this book, every time I see one for sale at the going rate, I think of this picture and I just can't pull the trigger.  One day.

Not sure who is in that picture, but "desert-comics" has auctioned off probably between 100-200 copies on ebay over the last 3 or 4 months. I would imagine those books are from the stash shown in that picture. Many, many of them are mid grade and lower copies.

I've always enjoyed the western books and certainly collected the original Jonah Hex series, but the run started in 2005 was a much, much better read. Most of the run is available in tpb and you really can't go wrong. It's been awhile, but many arcs had really nice Phil Noto and Jordi Bernet (legendary European artist) art. That's where I discovered Jordi Benet's work and became a huge fan. They also had stand alone stories by Darwyn Cook, Brian Steelfreeze, Jeff Lemire, Eduardo Risso and many others. Can't go wrong with it.

They are very nice. They were originally advertised in 2020 as a black light calendar with the posters being around 12x16. I forget what the original price was but around $30. Calendar never came out and these were released about a year later.

. I reread them a few years ago and realized the team is basically Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica. I would love to ask Willingham if he based their personalities on the big four of Archie Comics; it sure seems like it.

Now you're going to make me dig them out and re-read them.

Take Watchman HC and the 2 Supreme HC books per pm.
