It is a shame some board members are "racially insensitive" to the possibility that there could be a culture clash with American Super hero's and ones beliefs.

tth2 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 No, I'm saying that you're an insufficiently_thoughtful_person for assuming that because Hariri is from Lebanon that he is some religious extremist who could not buy a book because it features a woman without a head covering. buttock, sacentaur and The-Collector 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch, all kinds of western comics have women without head coverings. If it was THAT big an issue to him he wouldn't collect Superman in particular (due to Lois Lane) or western comics in general. Youre trying to put yourself in Ayman's shoes which is great but you're way off base here. I'm not super educated on Lebanon but what Lebanese friends I've had have been very far from the picture you're painting. Ayman has also been photographed in western dress at western events such as the exhibition of his collection so he's bound to be perfectly comfortable with the different clothing traditions and presumably not in the slightest bothered by a woman without a head covering.

sfcityduck Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Mitch, San Diego's a bit conservative, but it is still California. C'mon, you know better than to make assumptions like that. Ayman Harriri graduated from Georgetown U., a Catholic school, and states he decided to buy Wonder Woman comics after he met Gal Gadot (an Israeli) on the set of Superman-Batman. Based on that personal history, Mitch, I don't think he's any sort of fundamentalist. Given that his father was assassinated by Hezbollah, he's probably anti-fundamentalist. This is him and his wife. No burka in evidence. stephankeisman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to revisit this because just noting how stupid you are doesn't do justice to how incredibly and callously ignorant you are. A few points for you to consider: 1) not all people with brown skin are Muslim. 40% of Lebanese are Christian. It's probably got one of the deepest Catholic histories of any country in the world. 2) not all Muslims are extreme fundamentalists. Especially those from Lebanon. 3) 1% of Indians are Sikh. Some others wear "turbins", but this ridiculous stereotype is what gets good people shot by uneducated dipsticks. Don't try to turn it into a moral argument just to save face.

That's correct - all three issues fall outside of the Larson time range. The only Larson All-Stars are 1, 4, 5 (which I own), and 6. There are no Larson Sensations or Wonder Womans.

Knightsofold Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The price gap between all star 8 and Sen1 depends on a great number of things. I like Sen 1 a little more because she's on the cover. Slabs made me care about covers more than in the past. I would always pick action comics 7 over a 2,3,4,5, or 6. or a detective 29 over a 28. I think first full cover feature appearance means a lot. I'm glad there are so few first appearances that are absent from the cover. I'm not saying the Sensation should be worth more than the All Star 8 I just prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
