Has anyone read Richard Corben's Luke Cage miniseries? Good stuff. |

I can say from my experience, it’s not worth selling books too cheaply. Most people don’t want to give away their products. But it’s also true that if books will only sell at the right price. You won’t get 15 dollars for a 1 dollar book unless the market dictates it.

pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/freeselling/2024/1013094/Wow, this could really shake things up, and encourage more lots of comics rather than single issues... Once 30 of your actions sell in a year, you'll have to start reporting it on a tax return in the UK, starting soon! eBay also have to inform HMRC, so dodging it will be hard. It says starting from 2025... so does that mean the tax return we file each January will need to include it in January 2025, or January 2026? Before it kicks in we might also see some private sellers flogging a lot of what they have.

It's not worth giving stuff away, and I certainly won auctions that made little financial sense, like 10p a comic for things like Howard the Duck and Ka-Zar. That money only makes sense if you're clearing space and would otherwise just be dumping the stuff. |

Of course, once private sellers are paying 20% VAT and suffering the horrors of tax returns, single issue prices will probably be pushed up 😬

I am going to say that this discussion of eBay is no longer a 'quick question'. Perhaps it should be moved to its own thread.

I just finished watching a classic movie, Stagecoach (1939). Amongst it's stars were John Wayne, Andy Devine and Tim Holt
Each of those actors had their own regular comic book series
Has any other movie have 3 or more actors/actresses who also starred in their own comic book series?
I'll accept 3 actor/actresses and 1 animal actor (Lassie, Francis The Talking Mule etc.)

Which shouldn't be hard since I think he was in a bunch of them |

Well, let's see, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World has Jerry Lewis, Phil Silvers, The Three Stooges, Jimmy Durante, Milton Berle, Mickey Rooney, Andy Devine, Jack Benny, Jim Backus, Leo Gorcey, and Don Knotts, who all either starred in or appeared as themselves, officially, in comic books. Well, Backus appeared via Mr Magoo. The rest as themselves or their characters, such as Sgt Bilko, for Silvers.

I'll accept 3 actor/actresses and 1 animal actor (Lassie, Francis The Talking Mule etc.) Ish, how about this one: the 1947 film "My Favorite Brunette" stars Bob Hope, who of course had his own long-running DC series The Adventures of Bob Hope--over 100 issues! His frequent co-star Dorothy Lamour was also in MFB and she too had own comic book series, though not quite  as long-running as Hope's--just 2 issues in fact, published by Fox. The "Dorothy Lamour" series is available at the great comicbookplus site. And finally, as an avowed Alan Ladd fan, I've always loved Ladd's unbilled cameo (as ace Detective Sam McCloud) in MFB. Ladd had his own DC comic book that lasted for 9 issues; for those who may be interested, here's what I posted about the Ladd comic book series some years ago during a CCF 12 Days of Christmas event.

Yeah, after I posted my question I did think about It's A Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World and thought that must be the record holder. But let's break it down with the people you listed. Keep in mind, it's for actors who had their own comic series-not a comic series based on just one character. And it's for an individual actor, not a group. So Phil Silvers- his comic was a Sgt Bilko comic, not a Phil Silvers book Three Stooges- nope Milton Berle, Jack Benny, Mickey Rooney, Jim Backus, Leo Gorcey and Don Knotts never had their own books So of what you listed it leaves Jerry Lewis, Jimmy Durante and Andy Devine A Tie with Stagecoach But why, even after checking the credits on IMDB, I seem to recall a cameo appearance from a doggy star like Rin Tin Tin or Lassie? Am I trippin'? |

I was going to see if any Bruce Lee films qualify, but the closest I could find was Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan (he did appear in the movie as a henchman who gets killed) did have their own comics, and apparently there was an issue of Deadly Hands of Kung Fu that had Jim Kelly, but that was a one-off, so I'm not sure if that counts.

Because, if he did, then Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood also has three: Edgar Bergen, Dorothy Lamour and Andy Devine. |

Hold the phone. Big correction coming There was a 1 shot comic in 1938 called Edgar Bergen Presents Charlie McCarthy. The correction is there was a 4 issue series 1950-1951 from Victoria Publications called Uncle Milty. Since that was just a nickname for Berle, not a character, then it qualifies and both It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Won Ton Ton, The Dog That Saved Hollywood both jump into the lead with 4 |
