Why I married the perfect woman.....

[Sharkey]

steve,

it's a nice page, but i just can't seem to bring myself to spend big bucks on a panel page. regardless of who the artist is....unless it was something truly historical and it just kicks me in the gonads......(like Killing Joke or Dark Knight pages.....or Watchmen.) - even Kirby, Adams, Steranko, Byrne, etc......it would have to be a 1/2 splash at least.

 

Hey, it takes all kinds. I'll be happy to take any lousy panel pages off your hands, cheap!!

 

Besides, I didn't spend big bucks on it, my wife did! (actually DNAgent gave her a nice deal -- thanks, buddy!).

 

I just thought it was way cool that my wife bought me OA for my birthday. After reading all the threads about how guys wives and girlfriends give them grief about their collecting addiction, I am happy to have an "enabler"!

BTW, if Steve would like me to delete my previous posts, then I would be more than happy to,seeing as how it is his thread.

 

Nope, I appreciate you coming to my defense. Although I didn't take cgcfan's comments personally.

 

I just figured he was jealous.

Heh, the way I see it, one less person to compete with when you're trying to get panel pages

Me, I'm an equal opportunity collector, I'll take panel pages, spash pages, covers, pinups, commissions, whatever!

 

Kudos to your wife though

Yeah, me too. Actually what I like to do is get consecutive panel pages so you can see a significant part of the story. Sure, I like splashes and half-splashes, and covers (though I don't own a cover....yet), but my own sentimentalism is geared toward the stories. That's why my collection has a number of consecutive page runs. It also makes the "hunt" more complicated, and interesting. To me, anyway. Everybody has their own collecting style.

Consecutive pagaes are cool, and in many occasions indeed tough to get, unless you collect recent comics, which you can contact the artists reps and pre-order a bunch of pages from one issue...

However, obtaining a whole issue of, let's say, one of the Tales of Suspense issues, now that would be quite an accomplishment, and a fun one. Since most pages from that era have the word ballons in them, I think it would be fun to read a whole TOS directly from the original art pages...

Just imagine pulling out the big portfolio, sit on the couch, and read a story...
