vaillant Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Why would anyone be a sucker? There's something very intimate about someone's signature of their name. My mom just passed away in March, and every time I come across her writing on something, especially her signature, her life feels a little more real to me again. There's just something about her writing. It's just so...personal. It's clear evidence of her existence, very specific to her movements and thoughts when she was alive. These artists hold a lot of meaning to fans. Having a copy of their (mass-produced) book is special in itself for the art that it is. But having their personal sig and/or sketch is something altogether different and again....personal....to add to one's collection. (thumbs u I entirely agree too.

Could be said about a lot of key books. FF1 - horrible Spiderman 1 - not good X-men 94 - opinions vary widely but one of the lessor covers from 94-141 IMO Anyone suggesting Strange Tales 110 and Ironman 55 are "classic"? And some of the classic covers that have fallen off Still classic in my books and have risen in value but are nowhere near what they were once considered relative to recently found classic covers Avengers 93 100 Thor 193 DD 158 Defenders 10 FF 112 Submariner 8 Higher value making it a classic is the norm.

And than go and read them. Great art and great story and one amazing run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaillant Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 FF1 - horrible How you see the cover to FF#1 as "horrible" is beyond me. It’s a very nice composition, balanced and intriguing and it doesn’t let the reader imagine in full what lies within – he would expect a "classic monster story" while here we have what would have given a new meaning to the word "superhero".
