Oh, wait no. That's the dude from Alpha Flight.

 

Looks cool, Claudio

 

EDIT: Nope, not him either. I give up. He looks familiar, but I obviously own no books with him.

 

Hey, I can’t believe that: you have never read a Captain Britain story, or a story where he is featured?

I really must post some of the insides of those – at least X-Men and New Mutants readers are expected to know them… :D

 

I am still wondering why everyone is after Captain Britain (first series) #8 which is merely the first appearance of Betsy, when actually Betsy becomes really relevant in Captain Britain’s second series, in the Alan Moore/Alan Davis and then Delano/Davis tenure. In fact, if you don’t read CB (2nd series) #13 and #14, you are left with many questions after reading New Mutants Annual #2. Those two issues are where Betsy loses her sight (which is restored by the nefarious Mojo with artificial eyes afterwards). :)

1st rule of comic collecting for married men, ALL comics, i dont care if its an AF15, ALL COMICS cost "like $40" (thumbs u

 

That was more or less what I used to tell my father when I started collecting italian 1930s-1960s (pricey) Disney comics when I was fourteen. I had to buy them when he did not see, problem was that I did not have a car to go to conventions, so I had to take my chances when they presented themselves… And also, I did not have a weekly allowance (shrug)

 

Luckily my grandmother was always there to supply cash when I needed it, and she understood pretty well how much I loved comics… (thumbs u

 

They were really that much in the 1930's?

I had the Six Million Dollar Man action figures when I was a kid. Very cool!

 

And Space 1999 was a fantastic show.

You mean the prices? Depends on the issues, but the 1930s title I collected (whose issues currently go for $120-250 each) costed around $20-30 each in the mid-1980s so, yes, they were expensive for a fourteen years old. :)
