How long did this particular moniker last for anyway?  A couple of months?

Sienkiewicz first cover (CGC still hasn't corrected the Census)

"How long did this particular moniker last for anyway?  A couple of months?"

 

I think around 5 or 6 months. I get it though. I'll always be especially fond of  25¢ Marvels, and the "STILL ONLY 20¢" books from DC. That was the time-period when I first started buying books off the spinner-racks...

Mike, please explain how we can have CGC correct the credits? First cover of an artist of Sienkiewicz's caliber deserves to be recognized.

I do love the 1978-1979 35 Cent'ers. New slab was self submitted.

@CGC Mike I second the motion. I do have a vested interest

Cover of course is by Bill Sienkiewicz, his first, & Joe Rubenstein.  You can contact Mr Sienkiewicz or Mr Rubenstein for verification. I do wonder the source for the bad info?

Being smart enough to pull the trigger via massive trade on this cover back in '07 was the smartest collecting move I ever made. .

Great topic! I even have a sweatshirt with the Still Only 35 image.  Here's one more another I acquired in trade 20 years ago. It was my First Hulk comic.  Love the "Marvel's TV Sensation" blurb I believe this was only issue that did not display it in a circle.

 

@Frisco Larson based on the Spidey thread and here we have similar interests with divergent collecting paths.

I NO LONGER OWN this cover. I do miss it but received a "stupid offer" in trade a dozen years back.

@CGC Mike

I recommend that someone start a thread that is dedicated exclusively for this issue.  I have a pretty tight schedule these days. It is nearly impossible for me to cover the entire forum and compose a request for all of the credits people would like to be changed/added to the label.  If someone was to do this, please flag me to the thread.

Having lived through this period while collecting, I can tell you that the "Still only...." imprint was a warning and not a welcome thing.

[MAR1979]

Will takes Mike suggestion regarding BP14 Sienkiewicz and start a new thread in a day or 2.

Was “Still Only” only on 35 cent comics or on all price ranges just prior to price increase?
