Other upcoming former adventure/hero media properties that will expire before Superman include: The Shadow (1930), Dick Tracy (1931), Conan (1932), Lone Ranger (1933), Doc Savage (1933), Flash Gordon (1934), Green Hornet (1936), Phantom (1936), and Prince Valiant (1937).

 

 

I don't believe any of those are still in regular publication. Therefore they'd fit my definition of "abandoned properties".

Conan is hardly an "abandoned property", the others mentioned certainly have owners as well.

There is one storage strategy that could frustrate thieves.

Birth of a pedigree!

Question is, were it to be real, would it be worth $90k?

I predict endless cg dragon spectacle and fan service.

keeping expectations low, real low

WarnerMedia must have seen all the Sopranos rewatches going on in advance of Saints of Newark and rushed to contract Chase.

Well then why didn't they make a series instead of this movie??

There's at least a full season of good tv crammed into this movie.

There’s an Action 1 6.5 Restored w/slightly brittle pages up in the next Signature Heritage auction in November.  I’m doing a fundraiser.  You all can own about 1% of this truly special book.  Just “invest” $10,000 Friends & Family no fee sent to me in advance of said auction.  There are only 100 slots available.  Get them while you can. I’ll take care of the rest of the cost to bid if it exceeds $1MM.  I’ll procure it, keep it in safe keeping, and send everyone pictures before “we” win/own it, and after.  You’ll be able to look at the “after” picture, and know from that point forward, you are officially an owner of a part of history.  
 

I will take care of the bidding, purchase, and safekeeping of said book.  Only thing I ask is I keep the book in my possession at all times, and sell it at my time of choosing.  When I pass on, you or your heirs will continue to own almost 1% of this book.  My heirs will retain possession.  No visitation included.

oh, how exciting!

will our pictures be .jpg, .tiff, .png or Polaroid?

I wonder what a Villeneuve Star Wars would be like.

People seem to be caught up on this fine print "problem".  The fine print states that you own shares in a company (LLC) which holds the comic as its asset. 

If people legally owned a fraction of the comic itself, they could demand to have their fraction cut/ripped off and mailed to them.  The LLC keeps the comic intact.

Have you considered running for high office?

You might as well have said "users schmusers".

ok, you're right, a bit unfair

I'm just here to laugh at anyone who thinks this isn't just a weird form of gambling. Congrats, you bought X amount of tickets to say you think the price of a comic book you don't own will go up (and only get your prize money if someone buys it for that amount). 

It's a combination of online betting markets and the International Star Registry.
