Blonde hair, black silk, yassssss. Thank you, mailman. I think I might like the later publication of the same novel by Avon in 1958 under the title Shameless with a Chiriacka cover even more, and that cover girl's not even blonde...

This title is seldom seen: 13 17

I've only got one issue of Rex, I think I paid $5 or so for it back in the day because it was low grade but still looked fun.

A seldom used trick to make a striking fire image is to utilize pink in the coloring of the flames.

This one is just nuts!!!

I thought so when I was little. I still think so now.

Not many of the originals around either...

Just curious, are you using a small penlight or flashlight to critique? May be a silly question, but I'm just wondering.

I'm still working at completing my set of Philadelphia Gum Super Hero Stickers from 1967: Vintage sticker sets are typically much more difficult to complete than vintage bubble gum card sets since stickers tended to be used and thus destroyed.

One of the very best!

I think I need it in my collection.

In today. Nothing major, just a UK variant that somehow made it back to me in the US. Bronze, but in the time frame of the general topic:

I have one of those too! Uncoloured. While Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was indeed a great artiste, he was capable of only air brushing. The finished line art for his T-shirt designs was rendered mainly by Wes Bennett and then from late 1964 onward Ed "Newt" Newton. I built both Rat Fink and Angel Fink as a kid and I have all the Roth custom rod kits with the exception of Surfite and all the fink kits with the exception of Scuz-Fink, Robbin' Hood Fink and Boss Fink in my present day collection. And I refuse to even consider "kiddy" Snap-Together kits for my collection! I just say "No!" to any model kit that doesn't require styrene cement to build.

He's an incredible actor. I hope this film is salvaged. It has really gone through a lot of setbacks so far.

I should have thought of this earlier... Are we allowed to make "want to buy" posts as well, or do we need to do those over in the Comics Market- Want to Buy thread?

It is so immersive. You will love it.

Wow one of the best Marvel Mystery covers!

I think those were only included by Don on the original art. Maybe the art page that sold was the way to go.

Do you think this one looks better than the first one I posted?

I never understood why this book didn't get the same love as some of the other big Spidey keys. We have the first appearance of two major characters within the Spider-Man mythos with Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. The red cover make it tough in high grade copies as well. I am thinking about buying a few high grade copies to hold but wanted to gain some perspective from others.

Sorry if this has been covered, but I am curious if people are reading this character or if this was a product of the Dan Slott hype machine. If people are really into Bailey, what issues really stand out as a "must read"? How does Baily stack up against some of the other Spider-folk (Miles, Gwen, Silk, etc). Would like honest discussion and not pump and dump.

I think the ceiling is 9.0, but it could go lower as one of the high volume books that can be scrutinized more closely

I actually like the idea of focused mini-series. Often times it feels like a writer can't land the plane on a story arc in an ongoing series, but a mini-series creates some boundaries that seem to help. Tom King's Mister Miracle is one of my all-time favorites. The One Bad Day Batman run was also really good. I tend to be a Marvel guy, but these types of stories told in completion have really won me over in recent years.

This all depends on what the gunk is along the spine. Foxing can't be removed. If it's surface dirt, you can get this above 9.

Super annoying in my area as some of the local collectors rip open the packs then leave them if it doesn't have whatever they were hoping to flip.
