Nice shelf. I have space reserved for the upcoming Kotobukiya Bishoujo and ArtFX+ Spider-Gwens.

You just need the right kind of homer. I grew up a Celtics fan and hearing Tommy Heinsohn do the commentary makes games so much more enjoyable for me.

I believe Jim Shooter said that in the editorial section of... Harbinger #1. Yes, I knew that, as I'm sure many of this thread's readers would know as well. It felt awesome when I was finally able to get my hands on a copy (I missed it when it first came out) and I read that intro by Shooter.

I remember reading somewhere the importance of Harby #1 was like Avengers #1.

Jonesy was great to deal with. I would definitely buy from him again. Super fast shipping from CA to PA!

If you're a Turok fan, you need to go after a Dell book called Four Color #596. The Dell/Gold Key Turoks are better reads than when he was at Valiant anyway, IMO. My father couldn't get over the fact that they killed off Andar. I don't have a Four Color #596 yet, but I have a lot of the other early issues as well as the Dark Horse collection. Fun stuff and great covers.

Did anybody else notice Midtown selling SG #1's signed by Jason Latour? It's just for their variant covers, as should probably be expected, I guess.

I just saw this conversation and remembered buying my son a carded Warlord figure. I went upstairs and ransacked our mini comic collection to see if the comic was in there...it wasn't. I also have a Hercules figure from when I was a kid, but I don't remember a comic coming with him either.

Great thread. I've browsed it a few times now and I've found different things to focus on each time. I love art but never studied it formally. My favorite Orientalist is Gérôme. Please keep this thread going!

I corresponded via e-mail with John Morrow on Sept 20 and was told the book should be out in the next 6-8 weeks. It feels like forever since I first pre-ordered it, but the end looks like it's in sight now.

Thought this Xenozoic news coming out of Comic Con was pretty exciting: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/07/13/mark-schultz-new-xenozoic-tales/ Hopefully it doesn't take forever to complete. I already have the first Flesk collection and I would love to read more.

So far I'm enjoying this season more than last. I liked the gallows humor of the "piñata," but I'm a little at odds that Darryl's probably my favorite character in the show, and I'm the same person who always nitpicks whenever a movie adaptation differs from the comic.

I bought the WDC&S as well as the Walt Disney Treasury: Donald Duck vol. 1+2. I passed on the Taliaferro. I've also bought or pre-ordered the two Walt Disney Mickey Mouse books and the "Lost in the Andes" Barks book, so I've got a lot of Disney reading to look forward to when I have them all in hand. I'm mainly buying them for my son in hopes to hook him on comics when he starts reading, but until then I figure I'll get acquainted with the stories myself.

Thanks for sharing all these cool, old photos and recollections. It's fun taking a look back at the hobby in its earlier years (it makes for even better reading when the firsthand stories aren't loaded with narcissism, so I appreciate the restraint in this thread ).

Hey guys, In case it hasn't been discussed lately, Midtown Comics has Chew #16 signed by Layman for cover price on their website. My copy just arrived today, and I noticed they had at least one more in stock so I wanted to pass that along.
