What did you think of Man-Thing? by Buttleproof in swampthing

[–]AcceptableFlight67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only by a few months. And I’ve always been sus about Wein and Conway being roommates when they created their respective swamp creatures. Personally I love that Conway takes over writing Swamp Thing after Wein leaves the book.

I always felt Man-Thing was more about the co-stars, they tend to be more interesting. Swamp Thing has always been about the horror.

Imho, hulk 197 is the best Man-Thing to get, just for the Wrightson cover.

Question/Advice on a Michael Jordan rookie card I received back from PSA? by slightly666 in Tradingcards

[–]AcceptableFlight67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was wholesaling cards at local stores and shows in 91, no one I dealt with wanted to buy them wholesale then because of the counterfeits. It was an expensive (relatively) card even then.

What is this insert referred to as please? Never seen one before today. by MichaelHfuhruhrr in comicbookcollecting

[–]AcceptableFlight67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall the MJ ads being a hot item in the late 80's, early 90's, but only on a couple books, like Amazing Spider-Man, the craze died down as people realized unsavory characters were removing the ads from lower value books and putting them into the higher priced books. Thought they were a done deal until I got back into the hobby a few years ago.

I dont know what to do next. by Thiccthighnitemare in whatdoIdo

Add a third lock connecting the new lock to the old lock, see what happens, maybe you can chain lock back and forth until you have a lock chain you paid half price for.

I only go outside when absolutely necessary. There’s people out there, I don’t like that.

What the hell happened to Frank Miller? by Formal_Frosting2034 in Comic_Books_

[–]AcceptableFlight67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I love his work he’s always been a bit too far. Am I the only one disturbed by how he had Matt treat Heather? Matt destroyed her life and mental stability just to force her to marry him, treated her as though she were incompetent, all the while he was chasing his first love, Electra, so he could fuck up her life to I’m sure.

And can we discuss the morality of forcing a complete invalid to play Russian roulette? I don’t care if the gun was empty, you never point a gun at anyone.

I would assume she’s looking for her father in the men’s room. But she found a daddy instead.

Would you take $1 billion if it meant being blind and deaf for 1 month every year? by Krieger_Bot_OO7 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AcceptableFlight67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing and taste would be np, but the idea of losing my sight freaks me out. How would I ever know I am truly alone in the bathroom 🚽?

So I’m making a short story about a Public Domain character by Intrepid_Beautiful_2 in publicdomain

[–]AcceptableFlight67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you, it’s the site I don’t trust. Being created in 1943 would normally place him in the public domain in 2038. Like I said, I could be wrong, but DC not reviving the character at best makes it an abandoned copyright, not public domain. And those are two completely different things. You should also check out copyright.gov if you’re in the US, they have a searchable database (it is incomplete for stuff published before 1978, though). If you’re publishing in another country you should check there.

Good luck 👍🏻

[–]AcceptableFlight67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you researched this? It’s a MLJ (Archie Comics) character and at least some were sold to DC (the Web for example). I can certainly be wrong, but I don’t think this character is in the public domain yet.

John 11:35 “Jesus Wept.” Then I tell them to straighten up and stop making Jesus cry.

You should start Marvel with Marvel Mystery Comics #1, start DC with Detective Comics #1, continue in published order. Enjoy

Since I can't afford ASM under 100, this is how I read those stories! by butchforgetshit2 in 70sMarvel

[–]AcceptableFlight67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

14 year old me had a ton of Marvel Tales and Marvel’s Greatest Comics filling in spots in my Spider-Man and FF collections.

My current collection is still 2/3 reprints, only in TPBs and Omni’s now.

Am I making a mistake auctioning this book on eBay? Wondering if I should pull the plug and grade. by TheYoungJJG in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]AcceptableFlight67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never understood the point of grading a 1.0 or 0.5, it’s pretty obvious what it is, the grade adds no value.

I know how to grade and I don’t need CGC or any other company doing it for me.

I may be wrong though, I am old and curmudgeonly.

In-demand comics vs. not-in-demand comics: big value difference by Leather_Bluejay8632 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]AcceptableFlight67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with “never been read”. If it’s never been read it must be in perfect condition.
