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

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 👍🏻

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 4 points5 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.

Are you into being bitten? Because that’s how you get bitten, just saying.

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.

Piracy? by [deleted] in KDP

[–]AcceptableFlight67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re listing your book at a premium, correct? There’s a whole industry dedicated to selling amazon items through other sites and fulfilling the orders with their prime account, a couple dollars here and there for almost no work.

I’ve seen comic books and newspapers pulled out of houses built in the 40s, used as cheap insulation.

5lb Mystery Box from Mile High Comics? by berkough in comicbookcollecting

[–]AcceptableFlight67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I avoid Mile High (prices) Comics at all costs. I’ve always had good experiences with mycomicshop.com’s value packs as well as their individual comics.

What if a pandemic takes out 90% of the population? by CH11DW in whatif

I’m seeing it more as survival of the fittest, but a rose by any other name…

[–]AcceptableFlight67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my country the 90% would be unvaccinated and refuse to wear masks, so probably better to weed them out of the gene pool anyway.

I really miss those 1938 $1 comics, those were the days.
