Liver failure, or something akin to it. I saw him on a weekly basis back then as I picked my books up at Seagate. It was hard watching him literally shrink and turn a ghastly shade of yellow. His business suffered, as well so that by the time of his death there were several rival distributors cannibalizing his clients. Seagate went bankrupt soon after his death, but Forbidden Planet (NYC)still exists.

Fantastic clip...different world, different hobby.

Wow, what a great clip. :applause:

So refreshing to see the joy of owning comics being openly promoted. Especially compared to the Lance Armstrong enhancement attitudes sweeping through today's hobby, having us all pretend comic books were never distributed, never saw a truck or a bundle, or a display rack, a store shelf, or any kids at all.

Not sure if this has been posted here previously or not. If so, here it is again! I love seeing how the comics are treated. I half expected Klinger to roll up the CapAm 1 and put it in his back pocket!

 

Look for Pini to come out in her Red Sonja costume at the end of the segment. Enjoy!

 

Wow! Jamie Farr knows his comic book stuff.

That was pretty cavalier handling of a Superman #1 even in 1977. Boards and bags were in common use by then. The fact that Seuling showed up with a stack like in what looked to be pretty nice shape and was comfortable passing them around unbagged, shows a true fan though.

 

Douglas' initial "kid's stuff" attitude does show how things have changed. Even though the collecting community still jokes about the image of comic collectors as stunted adolescents, that perception isn't really as pervasive as it was back then.

 

Funny to think that the Golden Age books he was passing around were about the same age then as the Red Sonja book is now.

 

Don't fool yourself. People may be astonished how much some of those old "funnybooks" are worth, but the prevailing attitude towards comics in western culture is still the same.

+1

as TDKR and Avengers getting snubbed by the oscars showed.

The people who pick the Oscars don`t take comic books seriously,and this is after both the Avengers,and TDKR did over 2 billion box office combined.

2 billion box office = 1 oscar nomination combined for Avengers and TDKR.
