The last sentence of that interview is the best. Worth reading.

Q: Wow. You didn't know Britney Spears was married?

 

A: I do vaguely, but I don't understand people's obsession with who's going out with who and who's married to who and Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. I'm like, "WHO [#@$%!!!] CARES ABOUT THIS [#@$%!!!]?" I like finding a good book and [#@$%!!!] reading it.

Gene Simmons of KISS is a huge fan and comic collector. I think he's been at the last five or so San Diego cons. I've seen him there several times, sometimes just walking around. He is the guy that personally brokered the KISS comics deals with McFarlane and then Dark Horse. He mentioned at a panel that the other KISS guys think his endeavors into comic books are silly.

Pretty ironic coming from a bunch of guys who wear spandex and makeup and jump around on stage while things explode around them.

Sebastian Bach of Skid Row - saw him on "MTV Cribs" and he had some cool stuff.

 

Yes! I have thousands of comics. Specifically silver age Marvel. I have Amazing Fantasy #15: the first appearance of Spider-Man--it's worth 30 grand. I bought Hulk # 3 in Germany on tour. I have all the X-Men where they change costumes, and each one is worth thousands and thousands--I bought all those when I was little, right off the stand for 20 cents.

 

Oh really? Which X-Men's with a .20cent cover is he talking about?

Worth $$THOUSANDS$$? Just funny.

Maybe they are all slabbed 9.9s and 10.0s?

I think he's talking about X94 but got the cover price wrong?

We received an email query about comics with monsters driving outlandish cars from Joe Bob Briggs last week. (But it may not have been the real JBB.) I guess he's a celebrity now that he's in movies and not just writing about them.

The note about Gwen Stacy dying in issue 101 was classic. Everyone knows that it was issue 181

Yeah, I remember years ago reading that he's a big Silver Surfer fan.

 

David Goyer -director and screenwriter (Blade 2 & 3, Batman Begins) was a huge colllector and he only recently sold his collection.....he said it was into the thousands.....wonder what he had.....

[goldust40]

Some celebs in the U.K. are heavily into comics - Jonathan Ross, Lenny Henry, Paul Gambaccini.......not that you guys would've heard of 'em.

 

I read once that Woody Allen used to read the odd comic, back in the '60s.
