Ebel 1911

Pretty creative ad! Reminds me of the Hostess ads in the Bronze Age which I always enjoyed. Too bad modern marketing is more focused on being splashy and not creative at least with any comics I've seen for years.

After seeing how horrible Luke Cage was portrayed in my opinion on Jessica Jones I know have no faith any future productions evolving Mike Randal Colter as Luke Cage.

 

I would have rather seen Dave Chappelle at Luke Cage:

 

So interesting how we all can see things so differently since I thought he did a great job as Luke in Jessica Jones.

I got this one with both Gerry Conway & Stan Lee's signatures. I love the cover & the double sig!

I love this Christmas cover of Hot Stuff & it was a good deal so now I have it:

I got this a couple auctions ago but am finally just posting it. I do love Archie covers but especially like getting first issues or first appearances of the generally known characters. First Archie/Betty/Veronica/Jughead are not likely for me but I'll take the first Moose!

I finally got this from the last CLink auction:

Also got the original cover for it, first cover art I've gotten:

I got one a few years ago at a good price:

I'm seeing Avengers #57 plummet back to Earth.

 

Feeling bad for anybody who bought the book a year ago.

Good news, as far as I'm concerned! I miss having a copy. Might pick it back up.

Good thought, I might have to get one too.

Recent purchase:

 

Very Nice!

Mine is slightly used, and has writing on the inside...

Yeah, so used and with writing inside. Ugh, why even keep it?

It's beautiful and with the "writing" maybe being Kirby's autograph then might even be more wonderful than it looks.

they are cool. i especially love 20; the elevator perspective is just great.

 

 

Very nice!

Said to be just the second comic sold on newsstands.

 

 

Just think how much the OA to this baby would go for!

 

I like it. Not an easy one to come by, and I would love some OA from that comic. Especially the cover

Awesome that over 80 years later it still looks great & can be enjoyed by new generations!

Nice.

Do not read this unless you've finished the whole series:

 

 

Really enjoyed the show, but the last episode was such a let down. Shockingly anticlimactic. I felt like they missed some big opportunities:

- Would have been awesome to see him actually turn purple, like they were hinting at.

- Would have been awesome to see Daredevil show up like Clair hinted at.

- Would have been awesome to see the ending follow the source material a little closer, i.e. Luke and Jessica's "big news".

- Wtf happened to Nuke? Totally left a loose end with his character. Would have been cool o see him return for the final "battle".

- How dumb was Killgraves death? Predictable.

 

Sorry for the semi rant, I loved 12 out of 13 episodes, but man the last episode was poorly executed in my opinion. Great show with a terrible ending.

I also have spoiler-y comments with some different thoughts:

I'm on episode 11 & I've been liking it. I do think the private investigator stereotype is way overdone (angry, loner, drunk) in the show. I don't really know anything about the JJ character from the comics so I don't know how that affects viewing but I've been enjoying most of it so far. Some "twists" seem heavily foreshadowed but love the Nuke references & I think Luke is portrayed very well.

ill say it again. I liked season 1 a lot and look forward to Season 2.

 

She can act, looks great, kicks butt and I enjoyed the story. Agents of shield is good as well.

 

It's a great time to be a comic nerd!

Yeah, I loved the first season & it seems like it's been forever. Glad to know it's finally coming back!

Killed by a jacket. That's an embarrassing way to die.

I love many of those Atlas mystery covers. I haven't seen this before but it's as fun as many of them.

"The Escape" by David Baldacci - 3rd book in the John Puller series

There is an old DC that I remember having some time around the mid-1970s, It is a Superman comic and I'm positive (I think I am, may be misremembering) that it had Superman carring Lois Lane in a wedding dress. It should be a 25c comic, but I have gone over all the DC covers I can think of (Action,Adventure,Superman, Worlds Finest,, Superman Family) and I can't seem to find the cover I'm looking for. I would love to pick up a copy of the comic in question. Anyone have any ideas? It is not Action 484 btw. Possible a splash page?

One of these maybe?

It's easy to find books by Barks' but they have been well-read. Here are the first 16 stories but I am missing a few covers.

 

Very cool group! I have a copy of #35 (2nd row on the left with Huey, Dewey & Louie in the fridge) & I just love the cover. The refrigerator brand is "Phreezo" & for whatever reason that just cracks me up every time I see it. The happy looks on the nephews' faces & typical angry Donald are great too.

 

I cringe at the idea of children sleeping in a frig but I don't blame Barks. He didn't do any of the covers until much later I think.

Do you guys collect those comics? I have been purchasing newer copies of those I remember reading as a child. Every time I see one in the wild that I'd forgotten all about it brings back memories.. I seriously get goosebumps.. Its like reuniting with an old friend

I get some here & there, it's always a totally nostalgic experience and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Rom #1 seems to be heating up everywhere.

That's just revolting!

That Red Iceberg comic is killer

Yeah, never saw that one, just the other more common propaganda books. Nice!

Flash 229 is the earliest one I remember reading

Happy to add this one to my (very small) Silver Age Marvel collection, c/o Donut.

 

Very cool! I love that first Mysterious story and this is one of the many I'd like to add to my group one day
