Need help on identifying signature

I was browsing at my local comic mart a couple of months ago, and picked up a copy of Shi vs. Tomoe #1 with a signature on it cheaply for 50p. A few of my friends reckon that the signature is from the writer, Billy Tucci, but I'm not too sure. Can anyone help me whose signature this is?

Thanks,

CIVIL WAR #1 - As soon as the movie comes out, prices will be a bit higher than they are now, but after the movie comes out I reckon it'll drop back to previous values.

Try some of Alan Moore's material. Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell are brilliant reads. Some of them are in the DC imprint.

I regret buying comic lots on eBay...

I bought a few comics lots over the weekend on a whim, spent around £30 and now have (almost) nowhere to place the odd 100~ I got...

Got a few decent adds to my collection, a couple of duplicates I might flog, a decent condition Avengers #314 too.

Now to try and stop getting carried away from spending more money... Has anyone else found some sweet finds via eBay?

Atomic Avenue is a nice alternative to ebay.


Do they ship to the UK? Can't seem to find if they do on their website.

There may be a Bloodshot movie coming out within the next year. While the first comic in the series is a $2 comic at best currently (1992-1993 volume), it may raise when the film is closer to coming out.

This one I doubt, but issues 1-6 (Origin subplot) for Justice League as part of the New 52 series may be of note as Darkseid does appear as the main villain.

Hi,

I bought a copy of the Dark Knight Returns from my LCS recently, as soon as I flicked through the pages I spotted what seems to be a signature. Would anyone know who's signature this is?

Thanks,

The Poly Bag

I have an issue of The Losers #15 in its unopened clear polybag with the World of Tomorrow disc inside. I haven't had the heart to open it but came across an opened copy without the disc to use as a reading copy. Looking through the bag the comic doesn't look that bad or affected by staying in its bag (around 12-13 years!). I'm guessing some polybags are not "acid-free" leading to degradation over time.

If a polybag is air tight - then that is fine. If air gets in the interior pages fade. Best to open the bag and put both in bag/board.

BTW - If you want some faded comics that had been in polybags unopened for years - let me know - I have dozens.


I would open it, but recently got it signed (on the bag) by Andy Diggle. It looks relatively sealed. I did pick up quite a few polybagged comics recently, some faded, some not.
