The Simonson is sweet indeed!

The first piece in my new "Doing The Batusi" theme: Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) by Mitchell Breitweiser. I love it and I hope you enjoy it.

oops

Very Nice!!! Very sweet (he says with some bias)! Congrats!

Me too. Nice books but no ASMs for JR?

Belated thanks to Kevin Boyd for the Seven Soldiers #1 SS 9.8 signed by JH Williams purchase in mid-July. The case was cracked and Kev offered to get it fixed at WW Chicago. Somehow it magically, well somehow = more cash, came back from San Diego with some dude named Grant Morrison's signature on it as well. My first SS book of my favourite writer. Thanks Mr Boyd!

Some series read better in the TPB format though

Kudos to Paradise Comics (Peter) and Kevin Boyd for the Stan Lee FF book. Kudos to Tiz for the first batch of SS books and taking good care of my baby (Primer #2) as well as the two unexpected headsketches.

I was seeing everyone else's Stan Lee books coming in and was getting antsy to get my submission. It showed up on my doorstep on Friday. This was my first ever Silver Age comic book purchase at a Toronto convention in 1983. I was on a 'century' edition kick. CGC 8.5 Fantastic Four #100 signed by Stan Lee. Was expecting a 7.0-7.5 grade

And the best book in the batch. CGC 9.2 Comico Primer #2 signed by Matt Wagner. I thought that this book would be no better than an 8.5 Thanks again Tiz and sorry about the whole Bolland/Prince thing

The second best book from the first batch of books and again, large props to Tiz for getting this book done for me CGC 9.6 Grendel: Red , White and Black #2 - signed by Matt Wagner with a HUGE **spoon** two colour Grendel headsketch

CGC 9.6 Grendel #40 signed by Matt Wagner and Tim Sale

Now onto the really good stuff Picked this up in a dollar bin box at a show that was on Super Bowl Sunday. Prince was the halftime show so I thought it would be a (stupid) funny thing to get signed and slabbed. Based on what I was told Bolland's reaction was when he saw the book ( and the SS rep's utter horror at having to give this book to Bolland), I think it was worth it. Special thanks to Kevin Boyd for trying to get McDuffie to sign the book in WWLA. The effort was much appreciated. CGC 9.8 Prince: Alter Ego #1 signed by Brian Bolland

CGC 9.6 Batman Annual #14 signed by Chris Sprouse and Neal Adams. An unexpected surprise when I got the book back... a nice little batman headsketch by Chris Sprouse! Thanks Tiz!
