Re: Bob Hall signing new Shadowman work?

That is so cool! I love Hall's work. I wish I could land a commission from him - but it wouldn't be Shadowman. I love to take artists I love and put them out of their element. James O'Barr did and Iron Man commission for me once instead of The Crow - it was incredible. You'd imagine that I would ask...

Indiana Jones Retro & Adventure Series By Hasbro

It's a pretty exciting time to be an Indy collector. Hasbro is releasing a bunch of great stuff, but their release schedule and info dumps have been clouded by staggered release dates, exclusives and mid-wave releases that are just confusing to follow. Wave 1 Collectibles is doing an ongoing Hasbro ...

Re: What are you collecting these days? I've gone Golden Age and subscribed to Marvel Unlimited

I also read the first half of the Iron Man run from Tales of Suspense. Somewhere online decades ago I'm sure I wrote about the shear number of firsts that take place across the TOS run. Back in the day people didn't consider the 1st appearances of Black Widow or Hawkeye, or the Cosmic Cube or the 1...

Re: Bragging rights - your best deal of late?

All Valant is down. It’s a drought when other stuff is sky high. I honestly have not really collected much in two years and I even stopped looking. Not a lot out there of interest. My passion is diminished due to the lack of new books and other collectors, I think this is the most passive I’ve been...

My understanding is that they interior advertisements are "modern" to when the JCP edition was published - so the ads are different inside from the original printings.

Re: Iron Man: Armor Wars MCU & Comics Breakdown

There's something about the style of those comics that I just love, they definitely have a very proto-pre-Unity VALIANT feel. Realistic and 'modern' without all the grim and gritty cynicism of DKR and Watchmen. This was quotable. Love that original Armor Wars run on the title. I’ve recently heard t...
