Maybe those 1987 speculators were smoking something.

Starlin's run on Batman coincided when the character started becoming a top seller again for the first time in a long time.

Yup. After the Year One storyline, Batman really took off in popularity concurrent with the movie release.

I'm rationalizing that since I don't eat out everyday for lunch when I work, that overall, I'm saving money. Yeah, that's lame.  |

And we ALL have rationalized our expenditures at some point. A small happiness during these sad days is not a bad thing in way shape or form...Keep at it Brother of my other mother! |

etc etc etc... the only difference is that we're talking about comics instead of booze here. Hey, enjoy it while you can.

I don't know if they still do this but French weeklies ( and I guess monthlies ) would bind runs of their publication as they were printed. I have the complete run of Gotham like this. These Reliure were published once a quarter in the case of Spirou. Essentially four, bound, collected editions a year. This volume 148! which I just bought on eBay  le journal de spirou reliure 148 1978 #2073 a #2085 |

I just noticed on the Marvel Super-Heroes cover: Was this meant to depict frog Thor, and the colorist messed up? Checking the interior... I don't see frog Thor.
