WHEN DID FRANK MILLER'S ART/STORIES START TO SUCK SOOOOOOOO BAD!

Where I first noticed it was Daredevil. Ruined the series for me.

I’ll let you talk it out with @lizards2.

I feel like a Geek Disciple caught between two Jedi Masters - one hath a blue sword and the other…?

 

I would say you do need to embrace temptation, in that good stuff comes in waves, which does not conform to a short term budget. Strike when the iron is hot, and relax when it is cold.

I use the Paypal credit function (6 months same as cash) to even out the bumps. Currently, there is not much of interest for me on eBay or the Boards, so I am paying off my Paypal credit balance.

Re-opened this thread to add ...

Fantastic Four 8, CGC 8.5, W, Twin Cities ped; I've enjoyed Billy's old copy for a few years and now it's time to let it go to a new home. In Feb. of 2023, an 8.5 OW/W sold on Heritage for close to $1700.00 before BP. Cuz this one is a ped with snowy white pages, asking $2100.00.

Not I. I do remember a Huey, Dewey and Louie story once that had a wildfire and smokejumpers in it though.

Nice - I’d be all over that

I have been unable to relocate it. I think it was in a WDC&S issue.

What about this famous 43? What does it mean

Proven time and time again by film speculation.

Plus, you never know what you have until you crack it out. If a slab has the first two numbers 43, I walk on by. We seem to be currently in the Drek Ages of CGC grading.

Easier to wrangle a cow than tryin' to wrangle a fair offer from some o' them cherry-pickin', low-ballin' comic dealers. Keep the electric cattle prod handy...

 

Pretty sure Roy enjoys the prod....,

I thought cow-tipping was exclusive to Wisconsin. Usually 20% is expected.

That's because you cheeseheads drink it straight from the teat...,
