Don't besmirch Church! :baiting:

Shhhh.  Please don't tell Rick, but I'm just trying to make him feel better.  Church is a patron saint of comic book collectors.

Ah, I get it.

Hey Rick:  Those Church books are waaaay overrated.  They have a weird smell and the pages are so white you have to wear sunglasses to read them. Who wants to bother with that? I only buy the darn things when they're offered at a steep discount. :)

Some people say pine, some people say cedar or even moth balls. I've had mine so long that I think most of the smell is gone. Although Adam Strange was over about a year ago and he said he could smell them. 

I've never run across a Church that has moth ball odor, those were the Hawkeye books. Cedar or pine is an apt way to describe a Church book.

I've had some of my church books for a long time, and I'm very sensitive to their smell. The way I store my raw books, with microchamber paper and absorbing sheets, I've noticed that the distinctive Church smell has - in some cases - greatly dissipated over time. 

Tracing the provenance of a book through previous owners is always recommended.

Thanks for your efforts, John. The book is just as nice as it was last night. It is like driving a Toyota Avalon instead of a Lexus ES. Same car- different label.

Oh, that thread? I hardly ever look at it. No high grade men in tights comics. Just that junky "other stuff"

and I put up another pic for you as well.

I'm going to have to start my own... :sorry:lol

You say you love Catwoman? Heres a quick sketch I just made up the other night. I prefer the modern version as you can see. :luhv:
