Hehehe...JJ worked for Marvel Comics in the 80's, then moved to Valiant in the very early 90's. She's a great person, and lots of fun to hang out with.

 

She once shared a studio with Bill Willingham of Fables fame. They (Texas Comics) put out one comic: Justice Machine Annual #1. :)

GPA is a paid subscription (or a tolerant, generous subscriber on a good day); the CGC census is on this website. That #86 has 194 copies...only 11 in 9.6...and only 2 in 9.8. Good luck on that. If you even score a 9.6 and are in a selling mood, you'll bring home a bit of bacon.

I know. But they don't catalog CLink and a few others. Kinda makes them worthless IMO. And definately not worth the $10 a month charge for not recording all sales....Thanks for the census....... :)

Touche...Let me refrase it. By not recording all easily recordable sales, thay are less valuable than they could be. Better? The only info online is from 2007 for $5300.00 Just wondering if they recorded a sale of it since then? Sorry

Those are pretty kewl Kitefun. Were they more for promotional use, or did they all have individual storys??

 

Kite Fun Books were from 1953 to about 1998, each was distributed in the spring of each year at schools to promote kite safety. Don't fly your kite around our power lines.
