I was a fan of the New Teen Titans from their first appearance in DC Comics Presents #26. Written by Marv Wolfman and pencilled by George Perez, the book quickly became part of my top 5 on the pull list.

It's popularity grew by having one amazing story line followed by another. We got Gods, Demons, Cults, Aliens, and Terrorists, and on and on. A special nod to "The Judas Contract", one of the most consequential storylines of the last 50 years, and one, in my opinion, that changed comics.
For that matter, I believe this book was one of the most important DC titles in the last 40 years. Disagree? Then, let's discuss.

It introduced Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Jericho and Nightwing! Villains? We met Deathstroke, the Fearsome Five, Brother Blood, H.I.V.E. and of course Terra! How many other books have had such a lasting impact on the DC Universe?

This cover is from the Tales of the Teen Titans #67. The New Teen Titans changed it's name to Tales of the Teen Titans with Issue 41. DC then started Volume 2 of The New Teen Titans with an Issue #1 around the time of Issue 45, and the two titles ran concurrently with new material until Issue 59, at which point Tales of the Teen Titans became a reprint book until it's cancellation with issue 91. Issue 67 reprints Issue 8 of The New Teen Titans (Volume 2). Simple, right?

This cover is Perez at the height of his powers. It's got so much jammed in there in such amazing detail that you can't help but stare at the piece for some time. Very happy to have this one in my collection.

After spending some time talking to Neal and his wife at the Chicago Comicon back around 2015 or so I arranged to purchase my first piece of original art. I've been collecting since the early 70's and deeply regret not getting into original art back then when key pieces of original art were plentiful and cheap, but if I had to start somewhere there's not much better than the legend himself. A 14 x 11 watercolor.

I know that all of you have been waiting to see the latest adventures of Sugar and Spike. I know that I have. Until DC produces the comic book again, I'm filling in by creating faux covers for the next issue - number 100!
 
In this installment, the kids have been transported to Earth-Groo. A world similar in some respects to Medieval Europe, but loaded with strange creatures and mass destruction mostly caused by Groo.
 
They landed right in the middle of Groo story that spanned two issues of Sergio Aragonés Groo the Wanderer from Epic Comics, Marvel imprint.
In those issues, the Fountain of Youth is found and destroyed. Unusually for a Groo story, he didn't cause the destruction directly. 🙂
 
Our kids certainly landed in a mess.
 
For those that don't know, Sergio is a long time contributor to Mad Magazine. The first thing I did when I got an issue was to review his "marginals," the little cartoons in the margins of the pages.
 
Be sure to check out what else is going on in Sergio's Facebook page, Aragones Cartoons!

“Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos” was a key part of the early Marvel line up. It was essentially a World War II book, and as a result, not really initially tied into the Marvel Universe. That all changed with issue #13.

In issue #13, we were treated to a story showing how Nick Fury met Captain America and Bucky, “Fighting side by side with Captain America and Bucky!”  In this issue, probably the only one in twice up size that has Bucky in costume, we’re shown a newsreel announcing their meeting and jump into the story from there.  This comic was released in October of 1964, 9 months after Cap’s re-emergence in issue #4 of The Avengers.  This page has Cap and Bucky taking on some Nazis – from a wonderful time in the beginning of the Marvel Universe, a nice example of the King at work.

The Michael Golden Marvel Stories Artist's Edition was announced at NYCC a couple of weeks ago. There will be four complete stories, including Marvel Fanfare #47, and two short Nam stories from Savage Tales, lots of covers and pages. Trying to go all out on this one. 

If you have any really nice Golden originals (MARVEL ONLY) please let me know. Also, I will have my scanner at the Baltimore Comic-Con in a week and a half, and at the LA Art Show the week after. Contributors will be thanked in the book and receive a comp (U.S. and Canada only, shipping costs have become prohibitively expensive).

Thanks,

Scott

I stole a Sal Buscema Defenders 63 page from Heritage tonight!  $660 with BP!
Sal pages from that era have been selling between 1k-3k lately.  The other Sal Defenders page tonight (from #62) went for 3.2k.  Undoubtedly a better page but not 5x better. 
And it has 2 of my favorite Defenders, Nighthawk and Son of Satan
