1942 copy of Print Magazine with a Picture Stories from the Bible comic bound inside.  1943 copy of Print Magazine with an article by Max Gaines telling the history of comics from a 1943 perspective.  A slipcase that included the two issues.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by earthshaker01 I'd never seen the #1, and it's the artwork on the #2 that looks familiar. I need to go back and look. It was a company that's been selling comics since the 70's and they have a stockpile of comics that are in storage. They periodically pull unusual stuff out of storage to restock their store. It was probably lower grade. Or I could just be imagining it. I'm reasonably sure I'd seen it in their store among some really oddball Golden age stuff that was in low grade (chunks missing etc.). I probably paid attention to it because it was in better shape than anything else in the beat up box. |

| @X51 Not as cool as someone named Bob Denver buying a Bob Denver comic, but I once sold an Atari to Wil Wheaton on e-bay. | ||

| @X51 Ah, that's even cooler that it was "the" Bob Denver. As far as Wheaton & Trek? Nah, I'd rather avoid that.  I did attach an "Axis of Anarchy" logo to the package, though. A reference to his character on "The Guild" web series. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DocBrown That's cool too. I've never sold anything to a celebrity or pseudo-celebrity, but I've bought things from creators that mean a little more to me for that reason. Especially, if they are very hard to find otherwise. I run a message board and I always thought it was strange that comic creators would actually go out of their way to contact me. They care how their work is presented or promoted online. |

| Yeah, it was neat. I asked him "are you the Shadowhawk Jim Valentino?" He said yes. I enjoyed Shadowhawk when it was new. I imagine it wouldn't hold up today.  |

I attended Vermont Comic Con recently, and met Cliff Rathburn (Walking Dead colorist, among other things)... I generally don't commission art (no wallspace, no good way to store it), but really enjoy his work and found him really interesting to talk to. I decided to have him do something for me, and the only input I gave him was that I wanted a "Rick" (Walking Dead)... This is what he handed me the next morning: I was blown away - I loved how it turned out. I also met Rusty Gilligan, who was a real character... he was doing $10 charity commission sketches... I asked him for a Jay and Silent Bob, and this was the result:  It was a pretty small con, but it was really nice to have space to move around in, and a low enough noise level that I could have extended conversations with a number of artists and writers... after my first San Diego Comic Con experience this year, it was a great experience, and reminded me why I will probably not go to a big con again |

| Another random cool thing I recently acquired - an Alex Cormack commissioned cover of his now-a-big-hit Sink #1... he's a local, and I've often been able to hang out and talk to him and have him sign stuff... he's a really great guy, with a lot of talent. I really love his work, and particularly recommend the series "I Play the Bad Guy" and "Future Proof." Also, after reading the first issue of Sink, I can't wait for more... I have no idea what the hell is going on in it, but it's fantastic.  |

| Got two more items for my collection! The first one was a Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper/Vampire Chronicles: The Chaos Tower value pack, which I bought for the former. More on that who want to hear it. And this one arrived today while I was gone. It is in great shape for a 21 year old magazine, and both comes in its original bag as well as its original bonus items. I plan to have it framed next year. Also, I am using the images the seller used. Mine is packed away.   |
