Husband found these really cheap, but honestly, who the hell ships comics without bags and boards?   And these are his. He collects Detective and Batman. I just like the covers.    That's particularly cool that he also collects comics. My wife has only had occasional interest in reading my comics. She read Daredevil for a while years ago, and both she and my daughter read Sojourn. Sometimes I was third in line to read that comic. |

He was the one who originally suggested comics to me, but he never really got into reading them. But what I am glad about is, he collects runs that I'm not currently trying to collect, and he also finds the things I want to collect, and he wins them for me. He brings his Kindle to work and reads golden age Detective Comics during his down time. |

... Star Boy can't help it if he has a dumb costume and stupid powers. LOL! While I admit Thom's Silver Age costume is not as sartorially stelliferous as the later black-n-white bodysuit, I never minded his original look. The purple goes well with the yellow and white accents, IMHO. No comment on the crew-cut though.  |

So, I like it, too! |

It happens...I remember one moron who simply packed a dozen or so books into a priority mail envelope with no bags or boards...the one on top slid a bit but the others stayed put. I gave his arse some negative feedback...fortunately the book only cost me about 30 cents but still.... |

Hell, I once had an established dealer send me a 60s page of original art rolled up in a priority mail box. And I was buying it a gift! |

I believe that there, #598 I received in a lot of Batman comics I bought many moons ago and that piqued my interest to buy the remaining issues. I don't think Denys Cowan's art is by any means terrible but I certainly did find it less than appealing. But the story, despite not being terribly original (and the idea being similar to the Cybernauts episodes of Avengers) I was quite fond of it and glad I discovered it. |

Lots of Spideys arrived today, but I won't bore you with pics of all of them, so I will only post two pics.  And just when I thought Kraven's costume couldn't get any worse. It did:  |

That's the only Kraven story I own. The Mike Zeck art is nothing short of gorgeous. The story is .... what it is. I guess it was a bit horrific at the time, but damn it looks beautiful. :-)
Edit: And I'm partial to the black symbiote costume too, so that helps in the visuals department.

But, but!: he is wearing leopard panties! The metaphoric battles between the hunter and the spider will haunt my memory (I'm aracnaphobic) more so than man panties. :-) Edit: But I get what you mean Ms CW. Atrocious costumes can be quite distracting in a visual medium like comics. I think it's the biggest reason, for me, comic characters belong in comic or animated. The glimpse I saw of Flash on TV I couldn't take seriously just on visuals. |
