The series that started off with Grant Morrison's stories, around 1997.

It was called JLA, rather than Justice League.

I'll take that as a correct answer. 

Quote

Neal Adams and Giordano Batman: Stacked Cards [Book and Record Set] #PR27 Story Page 20 Joker and Robin Original Art (Power Records, 1975). Vintage Neal Adams Batman art, with a dark turn at the end. The last page of the story shows that the Joker is all wet, however, the tale takes a grim turn at the end when Batman muses that a frontal lobotomy could be the best punchline for this joke. Remember... this was a story for children! Created in ink over graphite on paper with an image area of 10" x 15". Slight toning, some minor creases in the lower corners, and some whiteout text corrections. In Excellent condition.

AHH MY HEART IS SO FULL 😭💕 I’M SO HAPPY AND EMOTIONAL 😭😭 Thank you x10000 to all the incredible human beings involved in this video. Seriously could not have done it without your time and creativity! All of us have been working so hard lately during these difficult times, so it was easy to forget that cons and meet-ups are being cancelled. This was a fun excuse to dress up again and show everyone what we’re made of.

inb4 someone calls us out for “wasting PPE” , All of these clips shot in PPE such as gowns and gloves are done during our shifts, typically right before we entered a patient’s room, or during a small break. Masks are being REUSED so it didn’t matter if we took a video or not, it’s the same one. No PPE were harmed or wasted in making this video 🙂

We only hope that this video encourages people to stay home, stay safe, and stay creative!

EDIT: due to the overwhelming response from so many people, the participants and I have decided to use this platform to help raise donations covid relief. Some to name a few:

Old news  but I see he swapped out the third book, still has "this dream, this doom & assault on avengers mansion" but he went from "final triumph" to "eternity, eternity"

HBO's Watchmen Is Free To Watch This Weekend For Non-Subscribers

Quote

HBO's hit series Watchmen--a spiritual sequel to the critically-acclaimed DC comic of the same name--is coming to a TV near you, even if you don't subscribe to the network. However, you will only be able to watch it this weekend.

From June 19-21, HBO will offer all nine episodes of the series on HBO.com and free on demand through your cable provider. You will not need an HBO subscription to access these episodes. This is part of the network's initiative to highlight "Black experiences, voices, and storytellers" to coincide with Juneteenth--the commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

While people are welcome to their preferences aesthetically between red and yellow, I’m fairly certain the outcry over the red has more to do with a red label book being devalued compared to it’s yellow counterpart.

Exactly.  The bottom line is that witnessed signatures are worth more in the marketplace than their subjectively verified distant cousins - the red label had little, if anything, to do with this.

One of the goals of a grading company should be to reduce confusion - this does the exact opposite.

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

PS - My favorite VSP story is when CBCS verified a printed Todd McFarlane signature.
