Who here gets Comic Buyer's Guide? Wizard? OCPR? CBM?

[dam60]

I'm curious to see what trade publications we all subscribe to.

 

I am a subscriber and read every issue cover to cover of Comic Buyer's Guide and pick up the occassionaly issue of Wizard, the new overstreet price review and CBM.

 

Anybody else out there subscribe to this stuff?

 

DAM

 

edit - OCPR not OSPR my bad!

[minutekev@50]

Don't subscribe..but I buy Wizard each month. Sucker for their humor and the fantasy world of 10.0 flash-in-the-pan moderns bringing mucho dinero.

I am same as you David. Cover to cover on CBG (havde subscription) and will very rarely p/up a Wizard (picked up this month for UFF preview).

Get Wizard monthly.

 

Everything / anything else I'll get on occasion.

i have/had a subscription to CBG for the last 2 years, thinking about not renewing my subscription when it ends.

[shiverbones]

i get cbm monthly, wizard maybe once a year, and haven't had cbg in over 10 years, is it still worth picking up?

[Foolkiller]

pick up wizard every month, CBM occassionally ($7 is a little steep for that mag) and CBG every now and again... although DAM probably talked me into a sub for CBG now.

I'll pick up the occasional CBM if it has Batman on the cover. Alter Ego if Golden Age DCs is covered and Comic Book Artist if my favorite arist is covered as well.

CBM and CBG. I download CBG the day it comes out (today) and read it in .pdf instead of waiting a week to get it in the mail. If not for being able to download it I wouldn't get it.

I read CBG, but only the 4-6 pages relating to back issue collecting, eBay prices realized, collections unearthed, etc. I also tend to read it a few weeks after publication...there's just not enough time in the day.

 

I also pick up the occasional copy of CBM, which I think is very cool and a good deal at the price.

 

Wizard I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole - or frenchman, for that matter...

I am still on my first subscription to CBG, on a whole it is a lot of useless print. Although they do have the occasional readable article and I really like the Resale Report.

 

I am also on my first subscription to Wizard. Again more more useless print, just in a more enjoyable and readable manner. Some of the checklists in the back are useful. Like when they run issues for certain characters,artsist, or writers.

 

I picked up the Overstreet review one time and found it pretty useless. Most of the prices realized on CGC books I check GPAnalysis.

I read them all - CBG, Wizard, Comic Book Marketplace, Alter Ego etc etc -

 

why? because they're often more entertaining than the comics themselves!

 

However, these boards are actually the most informative comics medium I know of - a compliment to all here I think...

[Zonker]

Wizard, no.

 

CBG, occasionally, but I'm finding the combination of this forum, newsarama.com, and of course eBay make CBG not-so-valuable as it once was. I do continue to get their free email blast. And it was a plug for this forum in the CBG "Mr. Silver Age" email that first led me here last year!

 

CBM, faithfully during the Gary Carter tenure. Dropped it after #100. Picked up a couple of issues since (the Batman one, the Wrightson one) on the basis of recommendations from you guys here.

 

Alter Ego pretty much every issue. (Good mix of Golden/Silver/Bronze Age stuff).

 

Comic Book Artist, loved the first half-dozen or so issues, but they seem to have mined the best material by now.

 

Jack Kirby Collector, every issue up until the tabloid format change.

 

Gotta confess, I'm at the point in life where reading about comics is more fun than reading most comics themselves.

[SilverAgeGuy]

None of the above, although I have picked up CBM and Wizard at the local shop a few times.

[shiverbones]

i know what you mean zonker! I enjoy reading about comics more than new comics for sure. Even more than some old comics, but not all. The aspects of the history & hobby really interest me now. I do also read alter ego from time to time as well as comic book artist & comic book heaven. I forgot those!

[dam60]

Guys, fill me in on "Alter Ego" - I have never heard of that one before! There are a lot more trade publications than I had imagined!

[Zonker]

here ya go!

CBG every week and here, as well as comicscontinuum.com
