wizardseye311 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 OMFG Cheetahs set is poof http://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/SetTypeDetail.aspx?SetTypeID=330 Will the inhumanity ever END It was a good one I hoped t get close to someday ! I saw that. So I guess I'm at #2 now, but with Doc's SS books he will stay at #1 even if I ever find a #11. I think mine is the only set to have all issues with white pages though, and I do have both #9's. How about Barry James with the double cover Marvel Feature Vol. 2 #4 in 9.8? Snuck right by you didn't he? That is one awesome book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyro-1 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 To get it to glow do you have to shine a light on it for 5 minutes ? and if you carry it in your back pocket do you go sterile ? Crazy sexy covers on those Dynamites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIJOEISAWESOME-migration Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just picked up a Conan 23 and 24. Unfortunately, I'm not a big Sonja fan. Looking to sell em to a real collector who will appreciate them more than me. Besides, I don't want to get addicted to the Sonja's frame or I'll have to buy those Dynamite's...

Mr Sneeze Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, I received a PM about the lot of Conan's I sold earlier today in the Gold/Silver/Bronze section. I had stated that the cover for Conan 22 was the true cover for 23. (I also made the mistake of saying 'first Red Sonja' which obviously wrong, I meant to write that beside Conan 23) I should have been more clear. The Cover for Conan 22 was indeed the intended cover for 'The Shadow of the Vulture', the first Red Sonja story which of course appeared in 23. If I am not mistaken, Barry Smith was running behind on the artwork but the cover had been turned in so at the last minute they went with a reprint of Conan 1. So with Barry's story in hand the following month, Conan 23 was published with a cover by Gil Kane. Interesting I think that Red Sonja's first comic has two different covers. As, I had stated in my sales thread, I had collected this group of mid-grade Conan's for a binding project. My intention would have been to have the Smith cover (22) go with the Smith story (23) and I probably would have kept the Kane cover for the back of the book.

I checked the GCD and it says the artwork was lost in the mail as opposed to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizardseye311 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You guys should read the original R. E. Howard story, "Shadow of the Vulture". Conan #23 is loosely adapted from this story, and is the inspiration for Roy Thomas' Red Sonja. In the original she is Red Sonya of Rogatino. Not the Hyborian Queen we know and love, but a fire haired Ukrainian battle maid. Roy Thomas took the character, and made her his own after a fan had hinted in a letter that another R. E. Howard character, Red Sonya, would make a good companion for Conan. With a change from, "Sonya" to, "Sonja", placing her in the Hyborian age, and mixing in parts of the Irish myth of Scathach, the Goddess she gets her power from, Red Sonja was born. Though it takes place in the 1500's, and not Hyboria, Red Sonya is as entertaining as ever. You can read R. E. Howards original story, "Shadow of the Vulture" here, for free: http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0608101.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01TheDude Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7423963#Post7423963 Red Sonja 8, series 1 It seems flawless to me, save a little concern over the lower staple pinching (?) -- which is amazing considering I bought this from a 7-11 rack as a kid. I may have just bagged this as soon as I got home without opening it. W-OW pages. I read the first 40 or so pages of this thread and felt like sharing this copy with you guys who might appreciate it-- I used to buy everything I could whenever I made the trek to the old 7-11 on my bike back in my Chicago days as a kid. I have several more of these, but was so mad at myself for cutting out the coupon in the back of the dang Marvel Feature #1.It's wierd that I didn't read some of these because I used t always buy up the Conan graphic mags-- and enjoy those stories.....but I have a couple of the RS that appear untouched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro-1 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi welcome to the fan club You see the popped staples a lot with the UK pence issues I think the more people handle it the more the paper gets pulled or pushed the more likely it happens I do know with the pence issues you have to look close for it happening on almost all that are for sale in that grade And welcome to the CGC boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
