Wow, a Batman 666 newsstand in a CGC 9.8 just went for $680 on 47 bids: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115674806675 Direct edition 9.8s of this book are usually between $200-$250

Here's Damian Wayne in Batman 655 - considered by collectors to be his first appearance, and the pricier of the 3 books that make up his "first appearance": Here he is in 656, on the final page: And here's the cover and first page of 657, where he's featured throughout the book: So, which is his real first appearance? Is it 655 because that's the one collectors gravitate to? And don't even get me started on Killer Croc...

When I think of all the G.I. Joes I used for BB Gun target practice... Ugh...

Black costume Spidey is still my favorite Spidey. And my brother stole my Black Costume Spidey and my Wolverine Secret Wars Action figures and sold them or traded them, probably for something stupid like pogs and I'm still upset about it and I'm almost 45 years old.

Isn't the symbiote sentient? Is Dylan Venom? What about Flash Thompson? And most importantly, what about Topher Grace?

Should ASM 258 be first Venom?

I feel like it's cheating that I looked it up, so I'm not gonna say... Edit to add: I also can't really see it though?

Clayton Crain?

Oh yeah, I actually forgot about that issue! Yeah, that's a true point.

Neal, Bernie, George and Todd. Sounds like a prog-rock band.

With all of the facsimile editions that keep coming out, it got me wondering, "why aren't there comic remakes" for some of the classic books? Like, why doesn't DC release a "reprint" of Detective 27 for example that is a basically a panel-by-panel remake of the original, but using artists and art styles from today? I'd be much more interested in that than a straight up reprint facsimile. Would anyone else be intrigued, or is that a step too far?

At this point I'll just give you direct access to my funds and you can take my money at will...

The books were re-issued last year as (I believe) 5-issue "Slaughter Packs." Pretty sure this is from an SDCC-exclusive pack. So it's a reprint of #1 from 2022, which makes it probably like the 10th print or something. Edit: Sold out here, but this is what it was: https://trinity-comics.myshopify.com/collections/convention-exclusives/products/siktc-1-sdcc-dan-quintana-exclusive-slaughter-pack

Thanks for the sales! Too many great books, I had to restrain myself - might revisit some of those Batman books in the GSB thread. Although so far, these threads aren't making MY wife happy...
