 I'm sure whatever it was you got me was perfect.

| Amazing Spider-Man (1963)#40 7.5-9.0 signed by Stan Lee and John Romita. Preferably with white pages and a good wrap. But the kicker is nicely placed signatures I don't want Stan right in the middle. In my opinion he ruins lots of comics with horrible (almost seems intentional) sig placement. | ||

| The Batman 181 homage is by artist James Lyle. He has lots of published work and can be found at many cons in the artist alleys. Here's another one of his works on a well known Batman cover.  |

| @Foghorn_Sam so he just does homage covers and sells prints of them? DC needs to hire this guy and reprint some classics! | ||

I always thought in the original, Robin looks like he has a pinch or two between his cheeks and gums; either that or he just had his wisdom teeth taken out. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego I found a fair amount of his art with Batgirl and Wonder Woman images on the net. He has his own website too and his work has been published in various titles. Since he attends some conventions, I bet you can get some of this stuff at his booth. Other than that, I just discovered his art myself in the last day or so. I thought that Batman #181 cover was so cool, I just had to post it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Kav I've never heard of James Lyle, but your reasoning is flawed. Google images using "Bruce McCorkindale reproductions". They are not colored, but I think it proves your premise is wrong. |

| I'd love to get a Batman #130 slabbed or outstanding raw copy in VF or better. A 9.4 would be heavenly. There are none higher than a single 9.2 in the CGC census. Strong sentimental reasons. My grandfather bought me one at a dime store on a happy childhood day. |

| Nothing better than sentimental reasons. There are just a handful of books I can remember where and when I got them, but I can relive those memories now just as vividly as the day they happened. Good luck finding a copy of that book in the condition you are looking for. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.
