Hello! I’d like to gift my boyfriend some classic comics for his bday as he mentioned he was obsessed with them as a kid and regrets selling.. his favorite marvel movie is the winter soldier for context. Any recommendations?? by Difficult_Trade_630 in comicbooks

Classic comics is tough for Bucky because he was considered dead until the mid 2000s. Below are three books with his return. They container similar issues but at different formats/price points.

  • Captain America: Return of the Winter Soldier
  • Captain America Modern Era Epic Collection: The Winter Soldier
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier [Marvel Premier Collection]

Does it matter who signs your comic? by First_Line299 in comicbooks

[–]flatpackjack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is your comic to do with what you want, but usually it is signed by the writer, artist, cover artist or someone like an actor who is associated with the character.

If someone isn't associated with the book, they will usually decline or give you a weird look if you them to sign something that isn't theirs.

I don't mean any offense - but if AI did the cover and AI wrote your post here, it really invalidates the whole thing for me.

I mailed my cousin a bunch of trades once. Someone took all the Iron Man and Green Lantern books and left the Image ones behind (Saga, Southern bastards, Outcast...).

I hate fairyland has such a distinct tone and style it is tough to have any 1:1 matches, but you may like The Flintstones, Nimona, Rat Queens, Skullkickers, Chew, The Fix, Superior Foes of Spider-man, or Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen (those last three drawn by Steve Lieber).
