[DJ Jackalope]

Was, havent really collected since the Mcfarlan silver and gold spiderman 1st ed. Tried to sell them but was told they are basicly worthless.

American comics or japanese comics? I read manga a little bit. I havent read american comics for a while.

I read Spawn, and a bunch of star wars comic books

I have a buddy who always wanted to draw for a comic book company, he got the job with Wizard Comics and now hates it...too corporate.

:(

I like the comics that are complete, or going to be a complete.

Sandman
Preacher
Transmetropolitan

or things that have come out in graphic novel.

Ellis's Punisher

I just hate when they don't reproduce the graphic novels in complete form. Spawn graphic novel and punisher do this I've noticed. Rather annoying for us purists that don't want to collect the monthlys but want to read them all none the less.

I read comics... they are cool.... seriously tho.. I do like gregory he rocks! and I found that I like a bunch more ... after they gav me free stuff at comicon :D

shattter-

New Transmet TPB comes out this week.

And yeah...like totally SPAWN is the worst right now, its a total joke. Every issue to see that comes out it at least like 9 months late, and they could make a crapload of money if they botherd to actually collect those things...its like trying to read Hellboy or Invisibles, its all out of order....

lope

god comic books.

Far too much of my money has been spent on the evil things.

but I still love them.

my faves: Sin City and most Frank Miller books, Love & Rockets, Eightball, anything by Alan Moore, anything Grant Morrison, anything by Neil Gaiman, Optic Nerve, Hellboy, anything by Jim Mahfood, anything by Evan Dorkin, Cerebus...

I've also been buying a lot of the "Essential" marvel collections, good reading, huge (like 300 pages) and cheap ($12).

When I was in high school I loaned a guy $25 and as collateral I got a box of mint condition comic books. He never paid me back. I joined the Army and three years later came home to find the box of comic books. They were in the garage for three years, were wet and had mold all over them.

I took them to a comic book store to try to sell them. The owner had a tough time peeling them apart. The smell was terrible and the comics were slippery from the slime. all the covers were eaten away but the pages survived a little bit.

He help up one wet clump of paper and said, "I will give you $25 for this one." I took it, I got my $ back.

Heaven forbid I imagine what it was worth when it was in mint shape!

[jesse]

that's totally insane. most comic shop owners won't even buy mint comics, so the thing must have been valuable. or he saw a $50 under the cover.

This was back in 1983, maybe things were different then.

[jesse]

entirely possible.
