Silent Master

SWEET! I have a raw copy somewhere but it is not in the best of shape. If you ever want to part with this you let me know .

I don't think its a 2nd print, just a printing error. I have several copies - newsstand and direct - and they are all identical. Here are my 3 CGC versions, CGC recognizes it as a logo variant. (sorry about the sideways pic )

My favorite story! The stories from 20 through 50 are awesome!

That looks to be in great shape for a foreign book! I worked HARD of picking up foreign Joe books, they are tough to find in good shape. I was shocked to discover how many countries Joe was printed in: I have books from: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chili, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, & the U.K. Other than the U.K. Action Force stuff it is all just reprinted books in a different language, on occasion with all new original cover art. Foreign books are a cool way to keep collection the old Marvel run once you get all of them printed in the US. Great find!

I got a new figure I had to share, SERPENTOR. The size and detail of this thing is incredible (and a few pics of the comic room so you can see its new home). It's from Sideshow and made by Prime. It came in 2 huge boxes and had what seemed like 30 pieces that I had to assemble. Absolutely gorgeous in person. The Storm Shadow (the one on the far right file cabinet) is from the same folks, and I thought it was incredible but WOW, this Serpentor is insane. I have a Snake Eyes and Scarlett coming from the same folks as soon as they finish producing them.

Great score - CONGRATS!

SWEET sketches! As always OV you get your hands on some awesome Joe stuff! Jealous as always!

I went to see it this morning - lots of fun. Loved all the references to previous Batman movies and stories!

Really?!? He is credited for it; maybe just because they used so much of the original soundtrack? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002354/

Just went to watch it a second time; the theater was nearly full on a Christmas morning showing! It was even better the 2nd time. Such a great story! You know what truly ties this movie together with A New Hope? The music of John Williams! I do not think that man gets enough credit for the success of the Star Wars universe.

I thought the same thing (maybe 2nd to Episode VI) but I'd give it a solid 8.5/10 or better. Loved it and plan on seeing it again next weekend! The cameo's were great but the real surprise was the CGI cameo at the very end, a very cool final few seconds. Made me want to come right home and watch Episode IV! After seeing this I want a side-bar/connected movie for Episodes V & VI as well.

Sweet! I kept looking for Bright for a few years hoping he would attend a convention so I could get a SS book from him but never saw him anywhere. Great job and awesome sketches!

Thanks! I'm just focused on getting G.I. Joe sketches by Joe artists now. I'm aiming for the original Marvel series artists and inkers. Wait until you see the next four sketches I got! I never thought I would get sketches by this G.I. Joe artist, as I've never seen him attend a comic con in all the years I've been looking for him. I'll post them as soon as they arrive to me. I'm excited to see them!

You always get some awesome sketch covers!

SWEET! I'll do my best to get one!

Neat! I love seeing foreign variants of my favorite comics. Very cool! +1 Very nice!!!!

Not surprised especially when it comes to the modern ones. Lot of those books are $2-$4 in the longboxes so why pay $50 when you can get them cheaper. I see the hardcovers already be discounted as well usually around half price. Then you look at the arah reprints and while maybe the first and second volume is ok you can get the softcover for like $15 a volume and in certain numbers of the 155 you can find those original books at $2 a piece for decent quality originals and get it cheaper in the end. Bad news indeed, I was planning to get all of them. But as you say, I guess there isn't much point in them when most of the issues you can find in the dollar box. Ugh! I hate when they do that!

That would be an awesome story line!

Yeap, very sweet!

SWEET!

All of my pages are probably too late or inconsequential to the project managers. Only page I have that may be of interest to them is this one from the last issue of the Marvel run: Nice. I have managed to pick up a page here or there of inconsequential issues and a few from the original Special Missions run but nothing from issue 155!

Agreed... odd as hell.

You know I saw this a while back and I didn't believe it would happen, then this cover was announced: I'm just concerned it's a last ditch effort to keep the name alive...
