Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 6/27/2023	Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 I haven't written many blog posts lately but today I wrote a weird one. It's interesting what you can learn when you study a title, even one that doesn't interest you. I've gained a new appreciation for Dan DeCarlo. His art is more than just inappropriate covers, like Betty and Me #16 or #37. No doubt, those are shocking the first time you see them. If you would like to read the blog post here is the link. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/what-dan-decarlo-taught-me-about-fashion/ Ron PS - In the next day or two I'll write this week's newsletter. Ideas are always welcomed.

Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 6/29/2023	Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 In an effort to write the next newsletter, I've accidentally written another blog post. This started as an AI prompt about 1968. When I checked the 15 suggestions, 13 were totally fabricated or incorrect. As a meager human, I decided to write it without AI help. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/comic-books-from-1968-that-might-surprise-you/ Ron

I was genuinely surprised at how Stan Lee made us wait for the big reveal. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/the-long-and-winding-road-of-mary-jane-watson/ Ron

Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 7/28/2023	Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 I'm trying to jump around to different eras to entertain or inform different tastes. If you have a suggestion, please let me know. Today's blog post is on Todd McFarlane. I've never heard anyone talk about his development as an artist with concrete examples. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/comparing-todd-mcfarlanes-early-artwork/ Enjoy, Ron

Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 11/8/2023	Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 Have you ever wondered if there is a magic ratio between the cost of a characters 1st appearance and their 2nd appearance? I did the research to determine what the right ratio should be. I think it will help you buy smart. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/1st-appearance-versus-the-2nd-appearance/ I also wrote a post on the Masters of the Universe Preview insert which has some wacky pricing. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/the-strange-world-of-the-masters-of-the-universe-special-preview-insert/ Enjoy, Ron

I have totally forgotten about the He-man insert. now I have to go through my boxes to see if that insert is still in those books as well as a long box of coverless books.

Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 1/4/2024	Ronbatman Administrator Posts: 2353 Recently I noticed that there was some confusion about Zatanna's first appearances so "Research Ron" kicked in gear. The confusion lies in Detective 336 and how it's explained later. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/zatanna-appearances-in-order/ Enjoy, Ron

glorkar Posts: 563 1/4/2024	glorkar Posts: 563 Great explanation! I'm a fan of Zatanna. I could easily see the 'Zatanna and The Ripper" Webtoon being made into a live action TV series. Kind of a DC response to Marvel's WandaVision.
