| @daywalker and @EbaySeller - Thanks, guys. Next on my list is to probably sell a few books to replace what I spent on this book, and then find some more SA ASM's and Adventure Comics, and/or maybe add an EC to my collection of three so far. I do plan on having it slabbed to help preserve it. Maybe CBCS will have an X-Men promo soon? Eventually, I could possibly see myself upgrading this and some other X-Men issues at some time in the future. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Sorry I didn't see these replies. Mike and I live in the same small town, and when I learned of this I reached out to him for possible commissions. He invited me to his home/studio, and we've been friends ever since (9 years). I help set up commissions for him now (when he's open for business), and assist him when he sets up tables at West Coast conventions, when my schedule allows. I don't think he plans to set up at San Diego Comic Fest next month, but he invited me anyway. He brought a couple boxes of his file copies with us to SDCC last year. I drove him there so he'd be able to bring more stuff. There was one bite from a seller there, but he never returned. When we left he offered them to me because he didn't want to have to store them again. I think be and his wife like the extra space. Anyway, I don't think it's his ENTIRE collection, but there was a lot of Fourth World, Kamandi, and Eternals in there, plus non Kirby stuff. Not planning to sell any, if anyone is wondering.  |

| @Batman66 and @BrianGreensnips - Thank you. If there is interest, I might post my run on a separate thread. We did have a thread for runs, but it might have gone cold and been archived. And it would be a good way for me to make sure I have all the issues! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravoWay to go Ed and Uncanny congratulations! Its always such a triumph to finish a long winding run like this , an then be able to start upgrading and replacing the more worn for better and slowly polishing and shining up your treasure. It only gets better with time too.... When I think about it the three hardest fought runs for me were the Original Justice League of America, Incredible hulk from 102-400 and the ultimate nightmare to fill...Turok, son of stone |

| @Darkseid_of_town, I was looking for some early Wonder Woman and i've been watching this one for a little bit, then the seller offered free ship and that was the hook (apparently). It actually looks nicer than the picture because you can see the cardboard on the lower left corner, it makes it look like there is something wrong with the book but it's cut nicely and in good shape. | ||

| If I remember correctly that would have been when Kanigher was working the title and the comic was in low print runs....slowly recovering from the SOTI trials and so forth. Some of those books from that five or six year span have amazingly few copies in decent shape running around. I always smile when people say they are looking for early wonder woman books...I tend to focus on the first thirty issues, which are few, far between and rather price heavy, and were mostly written by Hummel. PS: if you ever want the ultimate wonder woman headache, try an find or buy a copy of issue 105....good luck |

| Speaking of X-men runs, after watching the Chris Claremont documentary I was motivated to continue pursuing my Chris Claremont "New X-men" run (which I started in 1982). At Calcomicon they had a 4 hour Saturday "Comic Swap" for collectors and dealers who could not get a booth at the main Sunday show. I was very happy to pick up these 12 books in a bulk purchase for average price of $20 each. I mention the price in hopes of encouraging all of you to plan ahead and get out here next January!             |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller Really...I don’t mind them. Better than a lot of the covers coming out now! Those have a story on the cover as opposed to just a character posing on the cover. Plus the interior art and story are what make them great! |

| I sent her the package, and her husband achknowleged having gotten it mid week of that particular week....around sunday he emailed stating he had spent the entire night with her at the emergency room, and according to her doctors it would be some time If ever before she was able to sign autographs for anyone again. He said if she were ever able to continue signing for fans he would let me know, etc. He summarily returned the entire box to me, more or less untouched, except for having been opened. ..….either I missed the chance by a daunting day or two, or they changed their mind.It almost felt like something spooked them or I dont really know. It all seemed sort of off....figured it wouldn't take much effort for someone to write their name a few times, but then again if she had a stroke or something worse, it could be the explanation. To get that close only to miss really stung and I haven't felt much like even talking further about it.....I do hope she is alright and it wasn't anything too debilitating, or serious, but given her age anything is possible. I spent hours of work and some money getting to the position of doing that and it all more or less fell in on itself in a matter of a day or two sadly. To come that close, and yet so clearly to miss doesn't feel that great honestly I spend time now and again searching for signed books she might have done at San Diego in case something surfaces, but it seems a forlorn chance |
