1939 NEWSSTAND PIC TIME MACHINE JOURNEY INTO THE PAST
catman76 replied to ajaxfarrell's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I found this photo searching around and I don't think it's been posted here before April 1940. Popcorn stand in Globe, Arizona -
Zoot Comics #2 is one of my favorite covers ever, there is nothing bad about it. I hate all phoro covers on comic books, but especially Tarzan ones...

What is the most convoluted title/run/series you have ever collected?
catman76 replied to Toz's topic in Comics General
Most Dell comics are not numbered normally on the cover or indicia and you have to hopefully find the actual number on the first page written tiny somewhere, sometimes not. It's a huge pain trying to find a particular issue because of it. Lots of 40s and 50s comics are like that or Ziiff-Davis titles that will start at number 10 then go to 11, then issue 3 and go from there, sometimes there will be two issue 10s. All this was really a huge pain in the pre internet days getting mail order catalogs and not being able to see the comic itself to know if it's the right issue I was looking for. -

I don't mind ink stamps at all. I like them actually. But I'd say these are the worst kind... -

There's more to comics than mainstream marvel/dc/image crud and who cares about that corporate sh*t anyway? There's so much great stuff being done today outside of that, that I don't know why anyone bothers with any of the marvel/dc sh*t. They are the ones ruining comics not any artists. Just go look at other comics where artists are doing their own stuff and aren't being a slave to some corporation hacking out some stuff as a job. That's the problem.

Kevin Eastman destroys another comic book grail!
catman76 replied to Flanders82's topic in Comics General
Bad example. The Mona Lisa is boring and ugly and is only famous because it got publicity for being stolen 100 years ago. No one cared at all about it before that. So I'd choose the security guard for that one. Now if it was between all my comics, records or toys and someone that wasn't my family or close to me, sorry you are dying in that fire and I am saving my stuff -
Kevin Eastman destroys another comic book grail!
catman76 replied to Flanders82's topic in Comics General
Why do you care? You don't own it and how is it destroyed? it's still readable and intact so it's fine. It's sure better than just a name scribbled on it. I'd rather have a drawing from an artist not some scribble. I think it's pretty cool -

What the Flippity Flop is going on around here?

I don't think all Whitman were sold in bags. Whitman versions were just distributed to retail stores by Western Publishing, while the regular versions were distributed on newsstands by DC

off topic: I'm interested in the science of collecting
catman76 replied to Westy Steve's topic in Comics General
Robert Crumb has talked extensively in interviews and made comics about the "sickness" of collecting, the obsession. There's a great interview with him and Terry Zwigoff where they talk a ton about record collecting and the obsession of it all but I can't remember what that was in. But here is a good interview with Crumb about his record collecting that covers most of it.... http://matsgus.com/discaholic_corner/?p=2048 There is a also CD compilation called "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made of" that has liner notes that go into the obsession of record collecting too that is a good read if you can find track that down. -
