Martin Sinescu Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I used to own the cover for #24. It would be cool if that makes it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiconxion Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 If anyone out there has original art pages or covers they may be able to contribute to this book (especially from issues #1 & 2), feel free to drop me a line. I can help make sure they get to Scott Dunbier for this project. Should be a great book and the ultimate book for G.I. Joe art collectors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephisto Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Well the series IMO does continue to pick up for a while after issue 50. It really is good for a long while. By my estimate if you wanted the rest of the run in graphic novel form you would might be looking at spending another $200 total. Although I have moved on to the more recent GI Joe series, which are great, I have not personally read the last 25 issues or so of the original series so I myself am looking forward to definitely picking up those books soon . So to make a lame answer short, yes but it is up to how much you are willing to spend. You can always stop when you want that way too. Enjoy! I finally picked up the rest of the run...of course it will be some time before I get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my pages are probably too late or inconsequential to the project managers.

This book will be limited to the stories mentioned in the press release along with some additional covers for the cover section.

Buzzetta Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Any updates in Joe land? Joecon (the final one) seems to be a little late this year and occurs in about three weeks. Hopefully there will be some big announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfWolF Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Of the 74 graded GI Joe #21's in 9.8 does anyone have any idea how many would be newstand copies? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey7 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Interesting that you mention there are now 74 copies of G.I. Joe #21 graded at 9.8. Looking way back at some posts in the first 20 pages of this thread, even in 2006 (six years after CGC opened it's doors) there were still zero 9.8 copies.

Looking way back at some posts in the first 20 pages of this thread, even in 2006 (six years after CGC opened it's doors) there were still zero 9.8 copies. I remember back in the red label days it seemed like 9.8's in general were incredibly tough, if not completely out of reach. I was trying to put together a run of the early Joe issues and 9.6's were fiercely pursued on eBay. Can't remember how much specifically but I recall issues in the early teens and 20's were up near $80-90 or more. IIRC when a few Silent Interludes did eventually hit 9.8 there was some muttering that they were pretty soft. It's possible CGC decided if they didn't loosen up a little on that issue, there would never be a 9.8, so they reconsidered. I only kept one of my red label 9.6's from back then (issue 23 ) and I think the grade is probably correct, but I'd be curious to see some of the red label 9.6's on issue 21 compared with a current 9.8.

OV Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Has anyone here given the IDW "Silent Interlude 30 Year Anniversary" book a read? It has some great insights into the creation of the book. My only wish was that they delved more into the creation of the cover of the silent issue. Since the cover is almost as iconic as the story I thought they could have covered that more. But it's a great read and I recommend it. Here's a link with info: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=53217 Now you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they were pretty soft on this 9.8 I did think it had a chance but I really expected a 9.6. It had a small ding/crinkle at the top of the spine that was pressed out but there are very tiny color breaks in that crinkle and the spine just has the tiniest hint of tanning on the white spot. I thought 9.8 with ow pages at best but it got 9.8 white pages. I really wish I had an idea of how many were newsstands. I'm guessing around 20 but I have nothing to base that off except the fact that all the graded first prints i saw on ebay were direct. Not just the 9.8's, all grades. :EDIT: Actually now i'm not seeing that tanning on the spine. Maybe that was on the 9.6 I got back or I imagined it...
