What's your niche?

[koollectablz]

Does that mean you could get a midget dwarf? You could call them a didget, or a midarf - but thats already a term for a fielder in cricket.

X-men cross-overs.... Iron Fist and Luke Cage appearances. Covers with Dr. Doom other than Fantastic Four.....

[SilverRich]

I can't resist Green Lantern comics with the color green anywhere on the cover...I'm also a sucker for covers with Flash depicted running.

That doesn't narrow the field much, does it? Which GL covers DON'T have any green?

 

 

I'm also a sucker for covers with Flash depicted running.

 

Seriously, what does that leave out? About 10-15% where he's lying there with the snot beat out of him, talking to the reader, standing, sitting, kneeling?

 

Interesting niches.

Though I really dig the oddball, B.A. stuff (ie: Human Fly, Ka-Zar, 1st Issue Specials, Claw, etc.), I recently noticed an odd underlying theme in many of the titles I like...

 

Lately, I've really been on quite a Caveman, Barbarian, Jungle-Man binge -- especially in raw books.

 

Sliver-Age: Tarzan & Korzak's, Anthro, Naza the Stone-Age Warrior, etc.

Bronze-Age: Tor, Iron Jaw, Wulf, Kull, Conan, Claw, Ka-Zar, Tarzan, etc.

 

 

... well, they never wear PANTS -- mostly just loincloth's, really!

 

Is that a "niche": slacks-hating, loincloth wearing, take-your-sister-with-us, pillaging barbarian cavemen?!

 

SIGN ME UP then! (thumbs u

Some great niches.

 

Stuff I thought might show up but didn't:

 

Marvel Pop Art (although I think we have at least two regulars who do)

Those checkerboard DCs from the late '60s.

Character lifting the bottom corner of the page to reveal something (usually a new character)

Hitler covers

Every Ambush Bug appearance ever. (or Cheeky if he solos)

 

[Epcomics]

I have a soft spot for comic books where a character is interacting with the logo on the cover.

I love collecting 50th issues since many golden age books didn't make it to 100.

[General Zod]

I was going to collect all the Bizarro covers, but I don't see that happening for years due to wanting them all in 8.0 or better grade while I'm concentrating on several other areas first.

[spoonerism]

I like Statue-of-Liberty covers. I got started by loving Kamandi #1, or course.

[Mephisto]

 

3. OA covers/splashes with villians

 

Am I going to have to break your thumbs?
