OK then......my fave top 10...........

Centred.

Depending on the grade, other flaws would need to be considered to determine overall eye appeal.

For shipping you choose how much £ cover/value you want when you select a price. Max weight for printed papers is 5kg.

Yes, Printed Papers. I do remember writing 'Printed Papers' in large letters on the outside of my shipping package.

.....was fortunate to meet Bernie at the London Con in 2012.

........and without Stan the Marvel Age of Comics would never have existed, as we know it and, the worldwide popularity of Spider-Man which began in the 1970's with successful launches in the UK and also a version of Spider-Man in Japan.

I've always loved Kirby's art. The only thing I will say is that it became a bit too ubiquitus back in the heyday of Marvel and reading some DC books was a nice alternative at the time.

It's not black & white. Lee was Marvel's primary creative leader for two decades, something that (for some reason) you seem unwilling to acknowledge.

A hatchet job review of a hatchet job book........pitiful.

I don't think that's true, certainly not by me anyway. However, after looking at several reviews for this book the one comment that seemed to sum up the consensus was, "There is a nasty tone throughout the book which will become glaringly obvious to objective readers, but appeal to, and reinforce the views of those who want to believe the worst."........

......obviously a 'diamond geezer'.

DC 100 Page Super Spectacular #4

I used to visit my grandparents in North London and had an Uncle who lived next door who was a bus driver. From the age of 5 (1968), whenever I visited he would pick up a couple of american comic books on the way home from work to give to me. They always had either Batman or Superman on the cover and invariably Neal Adams cover art. They seemed so exciting compared with British comics (the glossy covers and groovy adverts). I could'nt buy them myself because of poor distribution and lack of continuity. I was out of the hobby from the age of 22 until I dug out piles of books from my parents attic in 2005. Thanks to the internet and CGC and my early memories of those books my enthusiasm has been rekindled.

In my limted experience, the seller had to reinstate the buyer financially and then claim back the loss from the shipper or postal service after a set amount of time. The buyers details would be included in the claim.

This would be my advice if you plan on keeping the book long-term. Sorry for your loss.

Anyone got a Deadman Omnibus on the way? Bit difficult to order without knowing what it's going to look like in hand.

A seller that has 'CGC IT' in their description would put me off even looking at their listing.

The only reason I picked up this book was because of a very short TV ad for it - with the promise of a 'free' Spider-man mask..... Little did I know that a week later I'd be struggling to try and put a square paper bag over my head................
