Is Spawn just destine to be mediocre collector forever? 4 4

I read the first page of this thread and I gently weep for anyone who can't watch an old movie like Casablanca and not enjoy it for what it was.

And the 80s Batman movie is the best of all the Batman movies to this point!

I’ve been saying this for years. 
 

Good luck finding anyone to buy golden and silver age comics when the generations that read them fade away. 
 

Nearly all GA, SA, and BA books are unreadable. Even Chris Claremont’s run on X-Men, outside of Days of Future Past, is really bad. 
 

There are a few serious gems that successfully hold true timeless value in the 80s that I can actually still read. Most notably is Dark Knight Returns and Batman Year One. The pickings are slim though. 

My neighbors been telling anyone who will listen that he is Teddy Roosevelt.  That doesn't make him right.

Spawn is a gold mine. The book was HUGELY popular when it launched, and against all odds, has maintained publication all those years since. So, you have a title that not only had a huge commercial peak, but it has lasted long enough that the rule of 25 and beyond can apply, so there are plenty of collectors remembering how much they loved Spawn, who are going back and trying to put the run together. And those late/mid issues are TOUGH. 

Spawn 1 is has one of the highest prints runs of all time, and yet, 9.8's are hitting, what, $200 now? True, we are at peak market insanity, but it's clear that there is still great interest in the title. 

I used to buy Spawns whenever I found them for a buck or so. I don't find them anymore. At least locally, the cheap reserves have dried up.

Now, onto the important topic: more than one person in this thread has testified that "Casablanca" is not a good movie. To these folks, I'd urge you to visit your physician immediately, as you've clearly suffered some sort of head trauma.

I have always loved the art in Spawn but have always struggled to engage with the writing.

I'll admit I'm not always into the subject matter, the vampirella ar what not, but he is pretty talented for sure.

I hadn't heard of him until maybe 3 years ago

But still I've noticed, his stuff that he HAS drawn, its undoubtedly talented.
