Just wondering of the series from Image is going to be added. Its a magazine size issue, but it does contain a certain amount of artwork and in panel format, so I am thinkin it would qualify to be added.

Yeah as you well know this question it has come up before.
I for one would like it to be added, But don't hold your breath upset

No not missing, Just under Wonder Woman. "The New" on the cover is a sub-title.

The price listed for Tales of the Zombie magazine #10 is $75.00, but it should be $.75. Submitter must have hit too many zeroes.

Issue # USA vs Australia print (spawn)

Ive been going through my comic collection of spawn and noticed for the first time that the issue numbering is different between some of the earlier versions i bought news stand Australian versions of before I went and bought the USA/Can version.



Ie... i have australian issue which is numbered # 8 which based on story and cover should be issue #10

Same deal for Australian issue #5 is actually US issue #7

I only have thes

What would be the reason for this?


  • there are 2 issues missing in the australian print run between #1 and #7 ( i only have the two new stand copies )
  • its just a belated print run ( 2 yrs) for a region that no one really cared about the numbering with ?
  • is there a printing mess up on this run of books ?
  • does it even matter given they are australian print runs?


im assuming its a bit of all of the above and it doesnt mean anything. just made me stop and scratch my head when i saw it.







I had those Aussie Spawns.
My where reprinted under Trielle Corp. Comics. They did heaps of others during the 90's. Here is a link to them.

2018 comic goals for members

Gilgandra
Gilgandra
Great question HR.
and here we go!

1) Pay rent before any purchase wink
2) Find some more bronze age horrors.
3) I try not to add goals when it comes to comic books. I like to go on instinct. Chance it, Most times i come out on top.
4) Find a copy of "Superman: The Man of Steel # 17" second print ...Oh! just found one, By chance Cool will post soon.
5) Find a few key issues i've been after.
6) Re-post all my pictures in my back issues thread. As photo bucket sucks dog balls (big hairy sweaty ones) Cursing it may take awhile for this to happen.
7) Keep posting on Tex's blog page that is where my latest post are. https://texscomicsnewsandreviews.blogspot.com.au/
8) Hope that some older CPG members come back. Unknown (Mitz), Bounty, Robbie (master collector himself) among many others. I miss you guys.
9) Finish "My Display Case". I have to go through a S*#% load of boxes to find those books that are worthy.
10) Buy a major book or many small books at "Supernova" Sydney this year. Going in blind, Wish me luck.






I thought i add this for fun.
My Non-Comic goals for 2018.

1) Find a boxed set of "Rockford Files"

2) Get back into playing some games. Just bought a "Nintendo Switch" Oh boy is it good.
3) Get a light bar for my Hilux Ute.
4) Buy Tickets for the extreme Ghost Tour at Manly Quarantine Station. Sydney.
5) Get my 1968 Cotton Gin blue-prints framed.

Your #6 is what I’m doing. I use photobucket but haven’t uploaded for a few years. Others have had problems, don’t understand why I haven’t had problems, strange.
I’m with you gilgaandra, I enjoyed Robbie’s collection and all of his wisdom he shared. Bounty missed, really cool person. And unknown(Mitz) I thought he got robbed of his collection, and just stopped coming around. Wasn’t mitz into 10c books?
Hey is it Summer weather for you this time of year?




Yeah! I think he was robbed of at least half his collection, was a shame. Yes, he was into 10 centers.
It's going to be a pain to re-post my pictures but it must be done smile
Summer time, That is correct HR. Starting to cool of a little now, Heading towards Autumn (Fall).
Did you read my updated post, I added some Non-Comic goals Lol. just for fun.

Ok, I’ll bite on the non comic goals.

#1 Quit smoking. Smoked 10 packs a week, now 1 pack a week. Nasty habit, been smoking over 35 years. Live a more healthier life style.

#2. Get my telescope out at least once a month with my dad. Great bonding time with dad. He is 80, time/life is going by to fast. Fun deep thinking conversations while looking for objects

#3 buy more 4K Blu-ray’s...I’m hooked.

#4 don’t talk politics.

#5 save enough money to send my daughter a few months of her mortgage payments or car payments.




Hey strange, I thought I was signed but posted as a guest....SOO THOSE ARE MY NON GOALS ABOVE.





HR, Can you play those 4K Blu-Rays on a normal Blu-Ray player or do i need another one?
My current player is old Lol.

Nice article Ron smile
Not sure if i'm any of those ...

I go with the flow.
Knowing the history of books, I gaze through pictures, words or key references. Then go in for a closer look. If i like what i see then i get it.
Call me a (Hmm ...I'll get that) Laid-back collector, Typical Aussie Lol type of collector.

Gilgandra, do you have a large collection? In my thinking, if you have a really large collection, you can be more laid back about it. Or it could be your personality type? Thanks for reading it.

Expander, we are all kind of a mix. When I want to read a story, I become a completist. Selling books to buy more books is different than an investor. Maybe there's an efficient collector, who uses their limited resources efficiently. Maybe?




Hey Ron.
No large collection here, Simple no room for it.
Most likely just my personality for been laid back.
