Whoo-hoo! finally some new back issues...Enjoy!

A Marvel Movie Special #1 (Time Bandits), VF+. February 1980.

Time Bandits?? That's so cool... I've got to get my hands on one. I love Terry Gilliam's work (Brazil is one of my favorite movies ever).

Great thread.

A local comic shop here put on a talk with Terry Gilliam years ago, that I was lucky enough to attend. When he asked my name for signing my Holy Grail, I told him initially 'eBay buyer'.

It's great to see the original artwork. The Wolverton piece is really cool.

It is a glorious page in person. Insane amount of detailed inking.
A published cover from his last group of work. Weird looking people is what Basil was best known for.

Best artist in my collection is this guy.


a pencil rough for Chessmen of Mars (book 5 in the series). The centerpiece of my ERB related art.
it's a freakin Frazetta. Frank Jr had someone disassemble and auction off pieces from one of his dad's sketchbooks to raise money for the Frazetta museum.
(White Indian is on the back.)

I wanted to put up some of the different publishers as I continue to collect scans of items.



I love the mod covers so much . They have so much pop and as a child of the 70's and 80's, those designs were still out and around in popular culture.





These are the last two appearances by the Charlton versions of these characters before they appeared in Crisis. Neither are particularly great reading, but it is fascinating to see what kind of plans were out there for them before they were purchased by DC.





Couldn't tell you anything about these shows/movies but the story on the Moon thing was barking mad. I am almost, but not quite, tempted to track down a copy of it to watch but I don't think there is enough whiskey to sustain me through it.

Frazetta met Roy Krenkel in art school. They worked together on some EC sci-fi books and later they did the ERB paperback covers for Ace Books.

I have one Krenkel inked sketch.

Not sure where they get off calling that a movie "classic..." I mean, has anyone seen it? Heard of it? It would be an interesting thing to see, though. And a nice comic to own, too.

Your return is justified Sargon
Sweet copy of the first DC Korak son of Tarzan.

Thanks a lot! I am enjoying your thread too.

I love the Koraks and Tarzans from this era. The stories are so much fun to read and the art is amazing.

Sargon

DC Korak & Tarzan (& Weird Worlds with John Carter) are fun. Mostly Kubert artwork.
The Carson of Venus backup in Korak is great; rarely get to see that character.

Can anyone tell me where I can get my collection graded in Melbourne, Australia?

i am trying to find out some info on this title. i know it was only copy published ever! i can not find a value or how many issues were circulated in july of 1968.if anyone has info on it please help and thanks

I have decided that as I get new comics, I'm gonna start inputting the creators in the data base. Question...what does the "Penciler" do? lol The options are like the editor, cover artist, inker, etc, but no penciller. Is this just a different way of saying artist or something?

Thanks

Hi, I need some help with finding an issue. I searched the database for the Inside Image #13 from 1994 I have but don't see it on here. There is a number 13 but not from 1994. Sorry I don't have a scanner at the moment, but the cover has Spawn and Batman on the front and says Miller and Mac attack on the bottom. Was just trying to add it to my collection box. Thanks!!

Signatures do not automatically increase the value of a book. There is a school of thought that believe any and all writing on comics (signatures included) is a detriment. Some collectors would never purchase a signed book. Ofcourse there are others who pay a premium for signatures. I don't believe there is any established standard or guide when it comes to signatures. Many factors go into what someone will pay for a signed book. First and foremost the buyer has to believe it's real. Secondly, the desirability of the signature. Obviously, the book itself is important.

I'm curious as to who here at CPG thinks signatures increase or decrease the value of a comic.

The two month anniversary of this post is just around the corner!

Managed to fill in some more FF issues. Streamlined the list a little bit too.

1/2,56,63,76,80,84,86,134,140,142,144,147-153,155,156,158-160,162-165,169-177,181-183,185,186,188,191-195,197-211,213,217-241,245,248-285, 287-316,319,323,325,339,341,344-349,354-356,358,360,363,366-369,371-377,379-382, 384,387-389,396,402,403,Annual 3,11,14,17,19-26, Special 5,7-10

I'm going to fill in 100 to 400 first. Then whittle down the sub 100s. My 56 is pretty nice and I'm sending it to get slabbed. First book ever for me, so it will be a learning curve. May sell it off if it comes back good. Use the monies to buy more stuffs lol.
