Oh, I didn't know it had a Green lantern back up. I grabbed a few just for nostalgia's sake. But many of the books that i picked up are mid to lower grade range. When the classic Neal Adams / Denny O'Neil run on Green Lantern / Green Arrow was suddenly cancelled, they already had their next issue completed. So the story that was supposed to appear in GL/GA #90 was instead cut into three parts and ran as a backup story in Flash #217-219. This story is also later the centerpiece of the origin of Connor Hawke, the second Green Arrow.

I'm a big fan of the Neal Adams run, Scott. It had slipped my mind that this issue had one of those stories. I liked the cover.

Nice pick ups ICC. That Conan 22 is one of 5 issues I need to compete the run and I haven't seen a reasonably priced ione in a year of looking at cons and shops or at Lonestar. Jealous. Love the other stuff you got too.

I'm still missing Flash #219 to finish that story, though I think I might have a reprint of it somewhere.

Came home from a day of comic nerdery and SpongBob Squarepants fun. A local convention, a nice small one, had the one and only Sergio Aragones as guest of honor. Other guests included current Hulk and Nova scribe, Jerry Duggan, Deadpool artist Scott Koblish and Bongo luminaries Bill Morrison and Mr Oddball Comics himself, Scott Shaw! While I spend some cash an original Sergio Aragones sketch and Morrison sketch, I did pick up one classic comic...

I'm still on a The Spirit kick, I'm nearing the end of the Femmes Fatales TPB and so I just put in a bid on eBay for the first 7 issues of the 1983 Kitchen Sink series. I won them and ended up getting them for less than 50p an issue! One thing I notice from the seller's pictures is that the colouring in these comics is different from that found in the aforementioned TPB. The Femmes Fatals volume doesn't have anyone credited for colouring, just someone noted for doing colour restoration. So, does anyone know if the recent TPBs have the original 1940s Will Eisner colouring intact and the Kitchen Sink comics are re-coloured or is it visa versa? Or are they both re-coloured?

Not sure but I do know the '83 Kitchen Sink series reprints eventually went to b&w after a year or so in color. The GCD lists members of the Eisner studio like Bob Palmer as the colorist (and sometimes inker) on the reprint credits, so I am going to guess those issues in color reproduce the original coloring.

Had no idea about that. That's a bit of a shame. I think I'm only interested in colour reprints. Actually, I just checked the colouring of the original Spirit sections on the GCD and it's apparently the recent TPB that is recoloured. The 1983 Kitchen Sink comic series looks to have exactly the same colouring as the originals.

I think losing the color was an attempt to bring the price down, since at 1.75 it was over twice the price of mainstream comics.
