    Glad to see so many Minnesotans in this thread! I grew up in Duluth (18 years), where the most likely comics you'd find were Gold Key, Archies, Richie Rich/Casper/Wendy, and the like. But the drugstores carried Marvel and DC, and man did I look for those like buried treasure!

    I remembered those panels as well when Ledger's Joker kept making up different stories about his scars -- the nature of the truth, and of memory, is suspect with the Joker. I feel like this movie tries to emphasize the same point about how he makes meaning and interprets the world around him.

    We visited a friend's house in 1976 and they had some comics -- my brother somehow knew about the Marvel heroes, and he encouraged me to read them. FF #172 and Hulk #199 were my first comics. I was hooked!

    Yeah, that's another superb 4.0! Congrats.

    If you buy keys for the fc eye appeal, that is a nice 4.0 -- assuming a toasty inside cover wouldn't bother you if you cracked it open. Sorry if I'm coming across as a pimp for my own book, but it took me years (and one lucky message on these very boards) to find my keeper copy in the same 4.0 grade (below) -- finding a VG copy that has that kind of eye appeal is rough sledding. The asking price therefore does seem decent in that regard. Dan

    Ultron 1

    Drummy replied to JohnFranklin's topic in Comics General

    You're right about that -- it's the epilogue to #57, where the kid finds Ultron's head and the entire sequence of him kicking it around is narrated by Shelley's sonnet, "Ozymandius". Very cool page.
  22. Drummy
    Yeah, that's a perfect mid-grade copy. Congrats!

    Hey all -- One win for me on CLINK last night...noticed that an Avengers #9 in 9.4 wp went for nearly $8k. (Not my book or bid.) Just thought that was a super strong price -- any rumors on Simon Williams (Wonder Man) in the movies or TV shows? Happy hunting... Dan

    Oh, sure -- everyone knows Jack Kirby was the original artist for Mickey Mouse and a bunch of Disney legends.

    Actually, I could see Keanu playing Namor. He always looks pissed off, which would be appropriate...
