For everyone out there either under forced quarantine or merely social distancing, I figured it would be a nice idea to share some of your favorite CCF classic comics discussion threads of all time in order to help folks pass the time and get their minds off of stressful things.
So what are some of your favorite threads from this section that others absolutely need to check out? The older and more forgotten the better!

I re-read most of the Politics thread recently. I'm funnier when I'm political.

Comics Tidbits
The All-Purpose Books Notes and Review Thread
Films of Lugosi is great! Shax is like
Remember When: A Comic Fan's Remembrances is a font of nostalgic fun (And, no recommendation is not an example of mutual back-scratching by me and brutalis!)
You Got Some Bat-Splainin' To Do. Thanks, Hoosier X!
Savag Sword of Conan Annotated. By frikkin' Crom, it's sword and scholarship!
Any thread by Cody Starbuck or chadwilliam! Always something new and unexpected in both of those guys' work.
Special mention to two others: icc trombone's great community contribution, the Classic Cover Contest Hall of Fame and Crimebuster's podcasts!

I gotta admit, I rarely go into any of the forums besides this one. Too many rabbit holes.

A Comic lover’s Memories is like the collected works of Norman Rockwell, Mark Twain and Will Eisner all rolled into one.

I won't name specific threads just yet. But I absolutely love how the simplest topic can lead to pages of discussions. It can be the most obscure title or smallest facet, but we get there.
I truly believe - and this isn't a joke - that if someone here posted a topic about ISBNs or UPCs, everyone would contribute; everyone would share information that some of us didn't know previously; everyone would share something of value. I bet you any money that a topic about ISBNs or UPCs would get pages of responses. We're an esoteric bunch here!
There have been topics about subjects that, at first glance, don't lend themselves to long discussion. But we do it! We've discussed issue numbers, renumbering and so much else. Everyone brings their A-game.
If the CCF was a wrestling federation, every match from the bottom to the top of the card would be a main event!

I tried to post a new review, but Reddit suddenly malfunctioned. I might get it done before Monday if I find the time between homework and procastination.

Me too. A 500-page book about Marvel ISBNs *needs* writing very soon!

I don't mean to self promote but the "I said it " threads always produce really interesting discussions and everyone who participates are still friends at the end.

Will be posting the first 200 pages of my research project, "I's Been Meanin' to Tell Ya: The Romance of the ISBN Number" in my new thread, A Bookstore Clerk's Memories as soon as they place the UPC code on the cover. |
