  1. Okay, not a comic, but still something added to my collection thanks to Ijiwaru Sensei Jr. Forget coffee table books. Put this book on cinder blocks and it becomes the table.
  2. Will these rather non-Disney-like shows eventually become available for streaming on Disney+, or will they be locked in a vault? Will a Region 1 DVD or Blu-ray of the Daredevil series be sold? Inquiring minds want to know.
  3. AI 2041. It is a collection of fictional stories, each one followed by an analysis, that predict how far the integration of technology and humanity will evolve over the next two decades. The stories are cliched, characters flat, writing uninspired, but the technology that may be coming our way is a combination of amazing and terrifying.
  4. Not loss, stolen, or destroyed, but I sold a run of Uncanny X-Men, Frank Miller's Daredevil, Captain America, and other titles in 1985 to help pay for college. Let's just say I'm spending quite a bit more now than I paid then to regather these comics.
  5. Too many people have the authoritarian impulse to ban or otherwise censor words, images, and ideas they don't like. Free speech now and forever!
  6. There are quite a few YouTube channels that discuss comics, but I think my favorite has to be Comic Tropes hosted by Chris Piers. He's not posting content every day, but I've found his content well-researched and informative. Comic Tropes Who are some of your favorites?
  7. Aren't most of the buyers of these books in their 40s-60s, or older? In 20-30 years, as this age group shuffles off this mortal coil, will prices nosedive, or are there enough younger collectors to keep comics in demand?
  8. I've found Arby's bacon, turkey Market Fresh sandwich ok. I have at least one a year. How many employees does CGC have, approximately? I remember when the minimum wage in Florida was $3.35 an hour.
  9. I have multiple copies of a few books mainly because of my poor record keeping or poor memory or coming across a higher grade issue and then not getting around to selling the lower grade one.
  10. And both of those issues crossed over with Invaders 5 and 6 or was it 6 and 7?
  11. My comic collecting started in the 70s when my dad plopped an Invaders 22 on my bed. I was instantly hooked. Growing up in Panama City, Florida, at that time, I'd go to Money Haven every Saturday to look for new and back issues. I also ordered Howard Rogofsky's catalogue and ordered a number of back issues from him. I started with Invaders and Captain America but eventually expanded to Peter Parker, Uncanny X-Men, and Daredevil. Sold my collection in 1985 to pay for college, but I've re-collected most of what I had back in the day.
  12. That, actually, is exactly what I'm looking for. Any appearance of Jesus, reverent, irreverent, in history, out of history, literal, metaphorical. Thank you.
  13. Thanks, everyone. This is really helpful. I knew about David C. Cook's stuff, but I didn't realize it had gone that far back. I have a book collecting his Jesus narratives, but its copyright page says 1978. The style of art should have given it away. Good info. I knew about the E.C. stuff, Sunday Pix, and Treasure Chest, too, but the "Of Such Is the Kingdom," "In Love with Jesus," and "The Life of Christ" are completely new to me. I really appreciate the pointers.
  14. I am actually doing research. I'm in the early, early just thinking about it stage, so I'm just trying to identify potential sources for now. I'm considering writing something on Jesus in comics. I've presented some papers on the topic, and I've written a little about Christianity in manga and will have a chapter in a book dealing with Daredevil's Catholicism (Netflix's Daredevil) coming out later this year or sometime next. So, it's a topic I'm interested in. Just trying to get a feel for the lay of the land at this point.
