  1. Yes, my post count increased significantly because of that book. But here it is again... Just like every episode of "Three's Company", I believe there's been some kind of misunderstanding ..... No, that's not it either. Try again. WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILLER copy Ricky!!!! You printing these things??? Love that issue #7!
  2. One of my favorite covers and a tough book to find in good shape. At $5, ya did good! Great cover!
  3. That is a lovely book, I have never seen that cover before The other Everett... (thumbs u Yeah, I've never seen that either but it is great!
  4. Beautiful low-grade copy. Presents very nicely for the grade. As I look at the cover, I really believe that OSPG should designate it as a classic cover. There's not another cover quite like it and it's extremely well-conceived. Congrats! I agree. It was, and still is totally unique. Yeah, looks great. Hoping to get one of those one of these days.
  5. Isn't that supposed to be Stan Lee on the cover? That's just what I was thinking too!
  6. Wow, I really like that. So much action going on, very cool!
  7. Is this book strip reprints as implied by the blurb in the upper right corner? If so, colour or B & W? Sundays or dailies? Tx Beautiful book!
  8. Very cool cover on Cap 13. Brutal but cool. (thumbs u
  9. Very nice. I actually came to this thread to ask how rare this variant is, and this was the first post that popped up for me. So... um, how rare is this variant, anyway? I checked ebay and didn't find any copies up for sale, and only one sold listing since November. You guys must get tired to tourists like me popping in this thread every time we stumble on a price variant. I have found it to be on the tougher side of average... The price box makes it harder for the normal cherry picker to pull, so less show up, especially nice copies That's a great point. I'm one of those people who rely on the starburst around the price to know that it's a price variant. I do have a complete list of all of the Marvel 30 and 35 cent price variants on my iPad but I rarely check for those books when I'm long box diving. The starburst does make it easier to identify but I always hate the look of them. A nice stealth price variant like this one is so much more up my alley.
  10. Always love seeing this one. I love most of the covers in the series but 1 & 25 are my faves.
  11. My roommate Ace pulled a similar stunt earlier this century. Rather than just hanging around the neighbourhood after being let outside one Friday morning, he somehow got to the Sears store at the downtown Eaton Centre some five miles away. He was discovered by store staff late in the afternoon wandering in the hallway between the parking garage elevators and the administration office! Sears left a message for The MAN at the office but he'd already gone home. A Sears employee therefore took Ace home for the weekend. The MAN received the message on Monday and duly picked up Ace back at the Sears store on Tuesday morning. Ace though has never revealed why he had to go downtown that day. The MAN suspects that Ace caught a ride by sneaking into the backseat of a neighbour's car but Ace hasn't divulged that information either. At the age of fifteen, Ace's wandering days are now a thing of the past. He's become a porch potato and prefers to wile away the hours in a comfy chair. Jack, an orange tabby whom The MAN had dumped on his sister in London, had a similar escapade himself about twelve years ago. Jack hitched a ride with the fellow next door and ended up in Port Bruce thirty miles southeast of London on Lake Erie. The neighbour fellow was quite surprised to see Jack in the backseat when he got to Port Bruce. He had absolutely no idea that Jack shared his interest in snorkeling. Jack was out of luck though since the neighbour had no snorkeling gear of his size. Nonetheless, Jack got to spend a pleasant few hours at the beach with the sweet smell of dead fish wafting in the air. Good for him! He looks very content there.
  12. I always like it when they used funny animal characters to show a little social commentary, especially during WWII. Nice book!
  13. Nice stuff! I like that you have separate DC & Marvel sections, cool idea! I think that V mask on the wall would just freak me out though.
