  1. I met him a few times. He liked to drink about as much as I do. He was just a really sweet and gracious dude. I'm Glad that he went peacefully.
  2. I noticed the same thing last week. I much prefer the PDF, but it wasn't an option. Had to go through that garbage new online version.
  3. Fun fact: The very first issue of Supreme said Volume 2 on it, right there on the cover, even though it was the 1st issue of the title, and there was no Supreme before it. While there are spinoffs (The return, Glory days, Supreme Blue Rose etc) there's only one volume of "Supreme".
  4. Who would win in a fight between Aunt May and Colossus?
  5. For your first question, spend $. When I was a heavy reader in the mid 90's I had a pull at a shop where I probably dropped an average of $150 a month. This equated to a 70+ book a month pull. Not insane, but a decent amount. I would also go through and "read" through a pile of other stuff while I was at the shop. Mostly I'd flip through a bunch that I was curious about. Sometimes I'd read the first 4-5 pages and decide I wanted to read it on the couch with my other books so it would go in my pile. Sometimes I'd get bored by the book, so it would go back on the shelf. As long as you're not just at a shop to read a bunch of new stuff for free, you shouldn't have any problems with a store owner, unless he's a total tool. 2nd question: You can learn all kinds of stuff from the internet. This chat board, as well as many others has tons of information. However, the most learning you'll ever do is when you read the comics themselves. You'll retain way more information if you're passionate about what you're reading. Being a "genius" in regards to the MCU isn't an impressive feat. I'd say there are probably hundreds (thousands?) of posters on this site alone that could boast that same thing if it were even slightly impressive. Read comics. Read the Overstreet (even if it is hopelessly outdated on most pricing and has been for as long as I can remember) It still provides some interesting information in regards to the market through the market reports. Find stuff you like in regards to comics, and you'll enjoy learning more about them as far as first apps etc go. This board is a wealth of information. Go back and read the super long threads. Most of them are long for a reason, as they are insightful and entertaining.
  6. It's all case by case obviously, but I know plenty of guys who get a few hundred dollars a page that have been in the business for years.
  7. If you're talking "average" you are super high on your rate per penciled page by multiples.
  8. I opened one for you. Can you send the $500 to this Nigerian prince that is promising me a million dollars? I'll send you back $1000. Win-win.
  9. AWESOME! That's got to be from the same story. The only weird thing is that the pages from HA look way less detailed. The back of mine says "Joe Sinnott inks" and it seems to be a way more finished version of those pages. In any event, thanks so much for posting. Very helpful.
  10. A buddy of mine said the same thing..I can kind of see it...
  11. Haha! Yeah, hit the post without adding pics on accident. That "creepy/eerie" page is signed by Poe De Leon at the bottom btw.
  12. So, the second 2 I have no idea. That one panel almost looks like the way Andy kubert drew background faces that he didn't put much time into. None of the rest of these 2 pages says AK to me, but maybe he inked? They're both 80s-90s. Outside of that, no clue. The Spidey page came from Jose Delbo. Inks by Joe Sinnott. At first I thought maybe Spider-Man and his Amazing friends #1 because of Firestar, but it's not that. Also, her inclusion means it's not Spidey Super Stories since I believe that series only had 2 issues after she first appeared, and I don't think Doc Ock was in those 2 issues...Jose said something about a children's story, but even he couldn't remember. Last one I've been told is possibly from an issue of Creepy or Eerie, but not sure. Any help or pointing in the right direction appreciated.
  13. They were just part of a big Godzilla collection I got last year. Slowly working my way through the end of it. Pics of the backs:
  14. Ah. Then I REALLY don't know Chinese . I guess I assumed Godzilla = Japanese. I'm hoping to avoid opening them up as I have no interest in keeping them and would rather advertise as unopened when i do sell them. Anyone think they will work in a regular dvd player?
  15. I was mostly kidding about the laser disc thing. They're about the size of a CD case.
  16. Not sure what these are since the writing is in Japanese...DVD's? CD's? Laser Discs???? They're sealed so I can't tell. Any help greatly appreciated.
  17. I went through the stack last weekend and pulled the best 10 copies I could. Still sealed. $45 each / 10 available. Shipping included. Cheapest price online. Paypal/checks/money orders. Pay demonxman@hotmail.com within 2 days of the No returns if you open them and shipping is still on you (both ways. Basically I'm keeping $8 if you get one and want to return it)
  18. Also, here's another added nuance to this one that I noticed; the personalization appears to be done with a different pen than the purported sketch/auto. It almost adds authenticity to me as I could see the sketch being done beforehand, and then when it was sold the "To Jean, best always" was added. I probably stared at this thing for way too long. I was excited. I make no apologies.
  19. Yer' killin' me here! I always kind of viewed the ones in the HC's as safe...What do you think about those?
  20. https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/132696350878?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l10137 I stared at it for a while. It seems kind of legit, buuuuut a 0 feedback seller...I just...I DON'T KNOW, OK? I couldn't bring myself to bid because I already have the nice "Batman and Me" sketch that I know is legit. I'm curious what others think here. Obviously some bidders thought enough of this to push it to a G+, but the whole thing just seemed too good to be true. Should I start an authenticity opinion poll? p.s. Got a little toasty tonight, and I'm glad(or maybe not) that this ended before I got home.
  21. Haha. Wow. Replied right away. Fixed. DCBS is the shiz again.
