thewritestuff Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I was wondering if anyone can give me a ballpark on what this Matt Baker Teen-Age Romances #9 comic might be worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ballpark is hard to give without a bigger picture. Is there moisture damage? Yes it is desirable and you could get a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have it in my possession yet... just purchased it online and was wondering if it was a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2wdw Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do You Remember Tiffany? Next month I'm going to the Steel City con in Pittsburgh. I haven't gone for a few years so it'll be interested to see how the con has changed. When I last went, it was mostly a toy con. Now it seems to be more of a pop culture con, like Wizard World. Tiffany will be there. Do you remember her? Back when I was in college she had the hit "I Think We're Alone Now." I think she was mostly a one hit wonder, but maybe she had a few other songs. Anyway, I got this album on eBay and I plan to get her to sign it. A few years back, Tiffany tried to make a come back. As part of that, she posed in Playboy. I plan to have her sign this too. This Playboy came out in 2002, 15 years ago. I'm curious to see what Tiffany looks like now. That is, with her clothes on. thewritestuff, porcupine48 and Larryw7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the book can be pressed and dry cleaned into better shape, you may have a real bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of funny to be a one-hit wonder whose only hit was actually a cover of an old (Tommy James) song. I guess it beats being a no-hit dud, though.

Popular Post n2wdw Posted March 15, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2018 Excited About My Latest CGC Shipment I received a CGC shipment today and I'm very happy with the grades. Also, I've been experimenting with the photo box, and by adding a front light to the box it seems to cut down on the glare, while producing pics that reflect the true colors of the comics. Here's what I got: comicnoir, kelholt, badback83 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post n2wdw Posted March 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Airboy, Valkyrie and Dave Stevens I got into Airboy with the Eclipse series back in the mid-80s. The stories were good, but some of the covers were jaw-dropping amazing. Like this one, with Valkyrie. The above cover is, of course, by Dave Stevens. It's one of my favorite covers by Stevens. When I first started collecting golden age GGA, I discovered that the Stevens' cover was actually a homage to the original appearance of Valkyrie back in 1943. Below's my copy that I got at the Baltimore con a few years ago. There are obviously big differences between the 2 covers. In the original, Airboy is chained, and in the Stevens version he is not. But notice why he isn't chained -- it gave Stevens the ability to draw Airboy holding Valkyrie's leg. To me that completely changes the imagery of the cover. In the original, they're enemies. In the remake, there's a hint that they will be allies (and perhaps something more). This is just one example of how Dave Stevens was so great.

Dave's cover is just SO much better in so many ways. n2wdw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2wdw Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 More GGA In Airboy Airboy is underrated for GGA, in my opinion. Here are some favorites from my collection. Also in 2015, Image came out with an Airboy remake. I bought the series for a buck a book at a local con. I was surprised when I turned the page and saw this. Only open if things like Stormy Daniels don't bother you. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
