12/22/2021 Topic: Hawkeye on Disney Plus - NO SPOILERS Defiant1	glorkar wrote: Just watched the last episode. I think I enjoyed this one the most. The fight scenes were a lot of fun. All in all, it was a good way to end things too. I was a bit disappointed with the end credit scene though. I was hoping for the usual "what? no way!" sort of thing. Not... that. I just watched episode 6. I liked the whole series even though I'm not a big fan of the characters. I'd have liked to have seen Jack in costume. I thought a certain Marvel Netlix superhero was going to make a cameo, but they didn't do that.

Maybe we'll see him don the garb in something in the future along with his former partner (I'm guessing that's the cameo you were hoping for). I'm just making an assumption about Jack. I was hoping to see the guy that fought Kingpen in the past.
1/2/2022 Topic: Simpsons comics Defiant1	Is this the issue of Simpsons Strike Back that you want added? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/simpsons-comics-strike-back/tmpwi You have to select Australia to see it. Everything defaults to USA. I don't really agree with the default, but I'm sure it's necessary to minimize the server resources being used on searches.

Here's a Weather-Bird Comic wraparound on a copy of MD #3 (EC Comics) Notice the staple placement. The cover was likely added later and not bound on the comic originally. It does not have an EC cover underneath the cover you see. Here's a Weather-Bird comic that does appear to be bound onto the comic in the original binding process. edited by Defiant1 on 8/1/2021 I entered these 2 under "Special Tab" with the Weather Bird title I added before. That way there not lost in the Database. I should imagine there are not many of these getting around. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weather-bird/pkxyly Have to do the Harvey ones another day. Like to add all those weather Bird Shoes first. edited by Gilgandra on 1/14/2022 When people sort through their collections, these are less likely to get scanned or put up on eBay to sell. I need to scour the web for Blue Bird Shoe comic images again. There are a lot of variant covers for those. Has anyone besides me noticed the similarities between the Blue Bird Comics colophon (Charlton) and Valiant's limited Harbinger TPB logo they used? Defiant1
1/29/2022 Topic: When You Happen On A Book You've Been Looking For Defiant1	I was looking for a comic that is not real noteworthy, but I still wanted it. I'd check comic shops all around Atlanta. No luck. I had searched through boxes at both large conventions and small one day shows. No luck. One day I stopped by an antique shop not far from home just to see what they had. I wasn't looking for comics. Staring me in the face was the comic I'd been looking for. I had searched a decade for the comic and I ended up finding by accident at an antique shop. It was closer to home than any comic shop in town. I just thought it odd how much deliberate effort I'd wasted over the years. I thought it odd that I eventually found it so close to home.
1/29/2022 Topic: Dollar Bin Digging - Signed Books Defiant1	If you find a Charlemagne #4 (DEFIANT Comics) signed on the letters page by me... just know that a local comic shop requested that I sign it. They insisted. That was the first comic to print a letter of mine. There are a couple of others that printed my letters, but I didn't sign any of those. edited by Defiant1 on 1/29/2022
1/30/2022 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Defiant1	A couple of books I bought today... Journey Into Mystery #68 Journey Into Mystery #74
1/31/2022 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Defiant1	Ronbatman wrote: Those old Journey into Mystery issues are difficult to find in that condition. Usually, they are beaten up. Good finds, Ron I'm happy with VG or better. My main focus is Tales to Astonish, but I've switched over to Journey Into Mystery because the local show is running dry on Tales to Astonish.
1/31/2022 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Defiant1	I scanned some of my early X-Men comics and damaged my #9 in the process. I was horrified at first until I realized I only paid $8 for #9. #3 #4 #5 #6 (Copy 1) #6 (Copy 2) #7 #8 #9 #10 I have a copy with a rolled spine, so I don't know where that went?!?) #11 Pretty rough, but the sticker on the bag said $4... 1st Stranger! #12 That's all for now. edited by Defiant1 on 1/31/2022

It's stranger than that. If you search by title alone and filter by Whitman, it only shows one Whitman comic for 208... the good scan. I see now that both Whitman scans show up if you search with the issue number field populated.

2/16/2022 Topic: HAPPYHOUR!! Defiant1	Ronbatman wrote: Those Journey into Mystery issues have great coloring. Nice pickup I prefer the old coloring to the new stuff. Modern comics have too many colors not found in nature. They want too much stuff to glow. They have gradients that are so uniform that it makes everything look plastic. Give me the old coloring with that organic style to it.
