Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe

Really interesting stuff from the earliest days of Timely until now.

Just got this in the Jan CLink auction. Not bad for $7!

I just got this in the latest CLink auction. Have to hunt a little for Hitler, Tojo & Mussolini but you get a little Mickey Mouse too.

:shrug:

 

i dont get the appeal

Santa Claus delivered seven nice new additions to my Eduardo Barreto gallery, among them a two-page spread from Robin Annual #6 I have been itching for ever since I saw it in print for the first time in 1997. There is another two-pager from Mike Danger #5, a page from the Elseworlds story Scar of the Bat and four pages from the mini-series Indiana Jones and the Sargasso Pirates. Due to the fact that Barreto used zipatone/craft-tint for shading when he drew that story they look much better in black and white than they did in color in the actual book. This technique gives the art the desirable old adventure strip-look.

Wow, nice!

The one in the back/middle was clearly not paying attention during rehearsal.

Good eye, too funny.

A few new ones to the collective

 

 

Cullins has been tough to actually get!

 

 

Haven't seen Captain Canuck in years. Beautiful copy & awesome you got it SS!

Love the cover on Mystic #10...

Great books, guys.

 

I've bought the first three volumes of the Flash Gordon series and am looking forward to the next volume being released.

 

I received these books as Christmas gifts this year.

 

The Gernsback Days by Mike Ashley and Robert Lowndes

The Secret History of Marvel Comics by Blake Bell and Dr. Michael Vassallo

I Say, I Say...Son by Robert McKimson Jr.

 

 

Nice gifts!

I should've kept both of my 6.0 unrestored copies

6.0 unrestored...

Finally found this JSA digest.

 

 

Who would ever thought that these 1980's books are difficult to get in 9.8's.

 

Please prove me wrong. Anyone

 

 

Never saw this one before, very cool!

(thumbs u

Hey, a Giant Size Man-Thing! Haven't seen that issue before, cool!

Could you have used a larger emoticon?

Wow, need to load up beforehand or you're out of luck. Crazy!!!

Picked this up in the Kenny/Trevor Fund thread. A huge thank you to Andy...

I don't know why exactly but I've always loved this cover.

Nice group!

That White Mountain copy has been flipped like a hot potato for several years now. Sold in 2010 for $143K, 2012 for $203K, 2013 for $191K. And whoever just bought it in August is going for an immediate flip at the current list of $225K.

Wow!

Updated my "Nerd Vana" room afer a few Christmas presents.

 

Don't know if that's a sketch cover, sketch or just a funky cover I never saw but I like that Iron Fist tattoo.

Nice Four Color cover. (thumbs u

I like it

 

And how appropriate that the story behind Scrooge's first appearance was posted on this here Duck thread - on Christmas Eve.

 

Yes it is here. Just gone 13.00 24.December 2013.

Good point, hadn't thought of that.

Cool! Iron Fist was always a favorite BA character of mine. (thumbs u

That's the first good thing I've heard about her. I sure hope what you saw is what she shows in this movie.

How many gifts currently underneath your Christmas tree(s)?

Speaking of trees. Here's our superhero tree in the store

 

 

Super-duper, trooper!

 

Since we're sharing, here's our tree..

 

 

My stocking...

 

 

I have no idea what's in store.

Both great trees & I love the stocking.

I finally got Ken Bald added to this one (thanks to Rich Henn )

 

Obviously my oldest SS book

 

Wow, Golden Age double sig...

I do not want a collection that will sit inside a safe or a box. If something is cool, I want to look at it and enjoy it. I am in the hobby for me not as an investment. I make sure that there is no sunlight in the room at all. That being said, that means most of you might not like my comic room. I am only showing three walls because the 4th wall has too much identifiable stuff like diplomas and other nonsense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great room!
