  1. I still do not get it. We place our comic books in mylar bags and add a stiff backing board to protect them, and yet, when we sell them and package them we place the stack in the box and expose the cover side to the packing material. Why the F###???!!! Package raw comics cover to cover. Use the backing boards in the bag as the outer defense. 

    Experienced, well-seasoned sellers do this. And it makes no sense. It should be a collecting "crime" to do this. There should be a list of known bad actors. 

    :cry:

  2. The cover focuses on Superman but in a manner of an actual event, not a pose for a glamour shot (233 or 243). Its real, it fully captures the story contained inside and the story arc of the sand creature. The colors? Yes, 100%. The contrast is perfect. The colors ARE the background and for me they work wonderfully. The small sand creature image adds just enough to the cover so as not to take away from the real image, the Real hero in peril. Sadly, they included a word balloon. But of all the Adams Superman covers, this captures Superman as the Superhero alien yet vulnerable at times, making him take on a human condition of frailty and in need of help. There really is so much in this cover I could write for a longer time.
