Nexus Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Congrats ZaCrew on the win! Finally got a chance to post my newest 5G page up on Comic Art Fans. Check it out: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=144586 Sweet page. A good buy that's become a great buy, considering what ashcans are going for now.

Machiavelli Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ya... I really wanted this book and kinda had a nuclear snipe set for 3 sec to go. Congrats Za!!! Big winna on that one. I think you made the right call as I doubt one will be hitting the bay for a very, very long time (if ever). It's good to know a fan got to pick it up. I half expected some wealthy half fan to snatch it up and lock it away in a vault. You got the cream of the crop of this series that's for sure. Congrats again!

Jealousy doesn't begin to describe my feelings. This is on my shortlist of items I feel I must have for my collection. Timing is everything. I have spent about $3000 on comics the last 6 weeks. If this had gone up at the end of September Za Crew and I would have done the "Man Dance" (Way of Gun reference...and if you have not seen the Movie I highly suggest a viewing of the opening scene if nothing else). Either way I must congratulate you. Just an awesome piece. This comic is just so much fun. It reminds me of the old "serial" TV adventures that I would go watch on Saturday Afternoon at the local Movie Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) I just read #6 again and I liked it better the 2nd time. Frank's storytelling is top notch as always and the art fits. I love Chris' art and associate it with the book so it's hard not to compare. I think Garry's splash pages and cover are fantastic. I prefer Chris' stuff a little more and that's not a knock on Garry. I liked the one and done book. That is so rare anymore but it was very refreshing. It took me back to the old days and reading Conan. The book had a beginning, middle,and end and didn't need 5 issues to tell the story.

That is why is found the writing in the one to be top notch. It's difficult to write a quality (beginning, middle and end) story with only 24 pages.

Yeah, it must be because it rarely happens anymore. I can't believe that book was only 24 pages. Makes it all the better. You definitely get your money's worth.

Frank J. Barbiere Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Re: The Third Eye Exclusive & Phantom #6 We didn't want to have competing covers in the same market. The covers are DIFFERENT, however--the Third Eye cover has the logo on the candy, and the Phantom Variant has the Phantom logo on the candy. The Third Eye Print run was *slightly* smaller than the Phantom print run, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzilla Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Haven't read this series yet, but I just got back issues due to this thread and can't wait. Also, I loved that cover when I saw it at my LCS and was talking to the manager about it for a while, between here and that cover it made me finally decide to jump on board. The preview artwork for the upcoming issue also helped, it looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
