I'd ask "What's an "ellery queen?" But I assume it's the name of the detective

British?

American actually.  It's a pseudonym for a character in crime novels in the early 1900s.

Ah so that's why it reminded me of something I read in Nancy drew or hardy boys. I havent reminisced on that in a long time

I'm a huge fan of crime-suspense novels, but I don't think I've read any Ellery Queen...unless it was when I was a kid.

No worries, just didnt want to fill up this thread since it's a no spam zone. I should have just laughed and moved on. Dont want Mike to think we took advantage of liberties

This thread is almost 3000 pages...I think we're okay.  Just hoping to add more comics soon.  Funds are tight.

Back on track.

My 5th copy, I have a problem

[Jesse-Lee]

I posted this in the Copper forum too, but any info is appreciated (if anyone knows about this, was at the 5th Motor City Comic Con, etc.). Even if it's "rare," I realize that doesn't necessarily equate to any special value, I just thought it was interesting and I always love more info if available.

-----

I ran across this for cheap ($4), and I usually grab weird stuff like this, especially when it's cheap. I can't find any info about it online - I know it's Phantasmagoria #1 by Tome (an offshoot of Caliber) from 1992, but I can't find any info about this one as a giveaway for the 5th annual Motor City Comic Con. The sticker is stuck directly to the cover of the book.

Not wanting to annoy peeps who differ on what age early 80s books belong to, I'm posting this here 

Frank Miller in his prime was one of my favourite writer/artists. In the past I read most of his Daredevil run as reprints and I've decided to add more originals to my PC.

I picked this one up today. It's my first ever purchase from someone in a Facebook group, rather than eBay or an LCS/bookstore!  

I used the money I received for a small modern Daredevil run I disposed of, as mentioned in the thread below: 

https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/510356-what-did-you-cut-from-your-collection-this-week-and-why/?do=findComment&comment=12434899

It's got a few colour breaking spine ticks & news stand writing on it so it's no "9.8 candidate" but I'm still glad to pick it up  

I think I had a crush on Elektra when I was a kid, perhaps I still do
