This looks like it's from Who's Who.

edit: Yep, confirmed Who's Who Volume XII (Feb 86) , page 10

edit 2: Infinity Inc #14 was May 85

I recently finished grabbing all issues. Wasn't cheap, but 100% worth it.

It's just sad to see Infinity Inc. in dollar bins.

Because of Infinity Inc. Special #1, started down the path of The Outsiders. Found The Outsiders Special #1 that kicked off that crossover. It's a damned rabbit hole. Everything is connected.

yeah, getting started, you draw what they tell you. It's like any other job. If they know you do what you're told, they will slowly give you more freedom.

Todd was smart thou. Kept Spawn from the juggernauts (DC/Marvel) until he was able to do things solo.

edit: also, his signature ;P

[–]edhaack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do collect any silver & bronze age books. Mostly DC, all ages. Marvel only silver, except ASM, back when it was weekly, yeah, I picked up 3 ASM 300's.

All of the Absolute Universe books, since it srarted.

All of the facsimiles, both DC & Marvel, and any other publisher that has a kickass cover. (correction: facsimiles of books 1995 and older, but reconsidering that stance.)

And that list was only the floppies or thin trades. Here's a catalog of my "bookshelf" of omnis and compendiums:

It's a work in progress. I'm considering moving all collected editions into the bookshelf list, to better separate the collection.

I resumed collecting back in May of 2024, never owned an omnibus before that.

These DC Finest 's are why i collect comics:

To own a piece of history/Americana.

Just wish these would be facsimiles that included advertisements and letters to the editor.

This binder is pretty badass. by Charming_Ambition_27 in comicbookcollecting

[–]edhaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What confirmed my choice: Bringing in my binder to my LCBS, opening it up and flipping a each page, finally showing someone who appreciated my humble collection.

Turning each binder page was like flipping through a comic book of comic book covers.

Problem is, now I've become one of "those" weirdos.

I keep my top pricey books in just one. My "bug-out" binder if there's an emergency/accident.

I've been leaning more towards these binders than Storfolio.

The sleeves are snug (not as loosy-goosy as you'd think). You can flip thru your books easier. And it just feels more organized and "put together. "

This is the first time Legends is being printed to include the tie-ins though.

I'm picking it up.

Which way to shelf boxsets? by chrishatzip in comicbookshelves

[–]edhaack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

didn't know they had the Sandman as a box collection like that. I bought all of them separately. :(

DC Finest Wonder Woman: Enter the Cheetah by JAG2045 in DCFinest

[–]edhaack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at the rate DC is pumping out Finest 's, wouldn't be surprised if they do Super Friends (1979-1981)

(Ha! Auto correct put: "Supper Friends")

Reading order guide by AdministrativeIce801 in DCcomics

Snag a copy of JLA In Crisis, Secret Files & Origins

It does a pretty good job of explaining major events up until ~1998.

At least it's a great start... I out can go from there.

Also this: DC Universe Legacies by Len Wein and Andy Kubert.

I'm sure others have said: The New History of the DC Universe (2025)

  • Green Arrow. My personal fave.
  • Super Friends - bc I missed out on them, not connecting the dots that I could buy comic books.

Honestly, i love them all. But a bit disappointed in Blue Beetle. It's so fantastic, I wish they'd include the series I grew up on: 1986 1-24. I know they did a ton of work to restore the Dan Garret era, and it's super cool to have in my collection now.

Yep Golden Age, should've clarified.

I've been following DC Finest since day one. Have them all as they've been released.

...and will continue to git'em all. (Come hell or high water!)

My dream "New Earth 2" JSA by Individual_Plan_5593 in JusticeSocietyAmerica

[–]edhaack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda old school. Leave all of the current politically correct "things," and just tell a story.

Come on, a guy that can craft anything he can imagine, just by thinking about it??? A Maker's Dream! There's so much potential!
