What's wrong, mods god your balls?

 

Actually, Rockhead keeps reporting my posts to the Mods (2-3 so far have been deleted, apparently for calling him Rock-something), so that his inexperience in this area (i.e. he obviously got into comics in the 90's an dhas no clue about the 70's and 80's) cannot be properly illustrated.

 

That he posted the incorrect comic (hint, it was polybagged) and then took me to task for the year, is too hilarious for words. :facepalm:

 

Do you have friends?

I like "enhanced" books; they're gimmicky, but I grew up in a gimmicky era, so my brain is wired to respond to shiny books.

 

I've considered starting a collection of slabbed foil/hologram/chromium books in the past.

 

Me too. I remember an evil Ernie book that was bright green, and a few others that reflected sunlight into your eyes from the LCS window. Good stuff.

I always thought of him as a spiderman villain... The Antagonist! Throwing words and making your head spin until it falls off.

Ah, memories. I know what my next collecting endeavor is going to be! 4th one down he has tiddies. And wasn't there a book with a purple jewel on it as a gimmick? I'm too lazy to find it and post.

I can't be bothered to Google that for specific details either, but I think you're referring to the Eclipso special from DC?
