I'm just sending them in because they're comics that mean something to me rather than monetary value. Yes unfortunately CGC only grades books as authenticated signatures if they have someone who works for them witness it. Unlike CBCS which employs people who authenticate signatures. No signs either from CGC to suggest that they will ever go that route, although it would be nice. The main thing is you know it is real ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I'd like to get my Gil Kane/Stan Lee Signed ASM #97 slabbed but I need to see if I can get John to sign it first so I have the trifecta on that book ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I've got a CGC 9.6 signature series signed by Stan Lee with a big ding in the spine that I wouldn't have graded higher than 8.0

Two packages arrived on my doorstep as I was clearing the driveway with the snow-blower this afternoon. One was an ebay pick up, the other from Lonestar. From ebay, a couple comic-related vintage paperbacks, a Doc Savage volume and a Modesty Blaise novel... ![](https://i.imgur.com/bHcfeUo.jpg?2) and from Lonestar, a pair of Unexpected issues that have Doorway to Nightmare installments after Madame Xanadu's feature was folded into Unexpected when Doorway was cancelled... ![](https://i.imgur.com/Gf0T2t3.jpg?1) and then a bunch of Sgt. Rock issues-they got a bunch of low-mid-grade copies in and the sale included the DC books M-Z, so I picked up a bunch to move me along towards completing the Sgt. Rock run... ![](https://i.imgur.com/r8JysDm.jpg?1) ![](https://i.imgur.com/MZlsz3d.jpg?1) sixteen issues in total. -M

I love the Modesty Blaise books but boy, they have been cursed with some terrible cover designs. It's hard to find a paperback with a cover I like for many of them. The best are the earlier paperbacks with painted covers by an artist whose name I forget, but they weren't easy to come across the last time I checked a few years ago. The ones with photographed models are just awful.

I'm still working on completing my run of Unexpected, still needing 23 issues to complete the 118-issue run (not including its predecessor title "Tales of the Unexpected").
The dollar books are surprisingly difficult to find-- there's only 7 of them in the run, but fairly uncommon.
And of course, The Sgt. Rock titles are total Kubert goodness.

I've not read any of them (I wasn't even aware of them until I saw this seller list them-he had a bunch of other books I bid on but I got outbid on them, a few others that weren't on my radar previously and a few things like Shadow novels that were). I am looking forward to diving in to this one as soon as I finish something I am in the middle of (I have 2-3 prose books I am already in the middle of). -M

They're great, some of my favourites in the genre. Not only because they feature two of my favourite characters, though that would be enough in itself, but also because I think O'Donnell was a first rate writer. Like Ian Fleming, he came from a background in journalism and I thnk in both cases it lent them a facility and ease in telling a story efficiently and just with handling words in general. I've read all the books n the series at least once, some of them twice, and definitely plan to re-read them all in the future.

After being tempted by some of the actual issues at my LCS, I was able to get the essential Tomb of Dracula vol. 2 for the original SRP (give or take $17.99).. I was excited to see it for that price, since essentials seem to be hard to get these days, especially stuff that works nicely in black and white Hoping my daughter will read them too (she really likes Marv Wolfman's name... whatever it takes)

In the last 5-6 years, almost every comic I've bought has been connected with my Edgar Allan Poe project. About 4 whole magazine-size boxes worth of them. (That's a LOT!) There's been the odd other item here or there, but when it comes to buying comics these days, I have some serious problems. Namely, lack of money, and WORSE, severe lack of storage space. For the first time, I've begun thinking about what parts of my huge collection I might want to GET RID OF. That said, the other day, I was shocked by a sudden "impulse" buy. There's this series in Mexico, JOYAS DE LA MITOLOGIA, dealing with ancient mythology. Think of it as an alternative to " Tales Of Asgard", or, for that matter, " Tales From The Bible". Most issues can be got for around $4-$6 bucks, but apart from the money and storage issues, there's 3rd problem. I DON'T READ SPANISH. Given all that, what would make me want to spring for any of these, apart from perhaps just wanting one random issue to have as a "sample"? A 3-DVD SET containing ALL 522 issues on disc-- and for about $12.50. WHOA! It was TOO CHEAP not to go for it. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](https://www.tebeosfera.com/T3content/img/T3_numeros/_/1/joyas_de_la_mitologia_1963_er_novaro_1/w-423_joyas_de_la_mitologia_1963_er_novaro_1.jpg)
