Ghost Town Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks for nice comments, guys. GCD says there's very little, if any, Jack Kirtby in these covers. It's too bad the King didn't continue on the title except for a couple more covers. RetiredOldMan and Chett*Eye*Knight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maraxusofkeld Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I love the date stamp - fantastic copy! yeah made me wonder if it is a lost green river copy I was wondering that myself actually. I spoke to the person who submitted the book to CGC, book was from an OO collection out of Ohio, so no Green River, but still a nice book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave2739 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Can't remember if I posted these before. Nowhere near as nice as Ghost Town's books, but I'm pleased with them. Skizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SECollector Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 If Amazing Spider-Man is the most collected series and the Fantastic Four the one that "started it all", my opinion is that X-Men is the coolest and the one with the most important and interesting historical / social metaphors. Unfortunately I haven't read as much as I would like (yet) but one day I hope I will have the time to buy an Omnibus and go through all these great stories and art. Which is everyone's favourite cover or story from the first 10 or 20 in the series? My own favourite cover would most probably be #4. It´s awesome - and what a pleasure to enjoy it in all it´s glory in Ghost Town´s post. Just wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Unus's name still makes me giggle Edited March 23, 2017 by Dave2739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomised Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 anyone pick up on any of the John G. Fantucchio X-Men books off clink tonight? Really nice copies and almost a full-run of first series. I was in the running for the #4 9.0 but was outbid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices were getting ridiculous once the night got later and I got priced out of many. Some 9.4/9.2 books were selling for $700-900 even though recent sales were in the $500 range.

Ghost Town Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Great gets, Ruben! All great covers. But that X-Men #11 is one of my all-time favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Me too! I would love to get a NM copy of X-Men #11 someday. Beautiful copy -- I was looking at it myself. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgross.com Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 did anyone here notice the beautiful xmen 1 5.0 that sold yesterday on comiclink for $5877? according to gpa, thats about a grand more than any 5.0 has ever gone for. i see alot of chatter about AF15 prices lately, but this was pretty astounding! i thiught it would go for maybe $4500. perhaps the fantucchio pedigree?

Phicks Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 "GCD says there's very little, if any, Jack Kirtby in these covers. It's too bad the King didn't continue on the title except for a couple more covers. " Some have speculated that X-Men become a third tier title for Marvel specifically because Stan and Jack both left after only about 15 issues. There was nothing magical about Roy Thomas and Werner Roth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
