The Alan Moore Appreciation Thread 10 10

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Some guy named Sean Fingh has a photo League of Extraordinary Gentleman #3 signed Alan Moore Yellow Label 9.8 on myslabbedcomics.com.  I am so jealous of you, whoever you are.  I tell you what, I’ll trade you a box of 9.8 signed Liefield Supreme’s for it if you’re reading this and interested.  I know you tagged that it’s not for sale but the deal is so awesome that I’ll  be waiting patiently for your response.

I like this one.

I hate that Marvel polybaged these.  At first I thought it would keep the issue in better condition by keeping in the plastic bag it came in but then I recently learned that the bag will damage the comic.  When I heard that, I ran and opened my copy up.  The back is F---ed up because of it.  I love your copy.  I have 3 raw copies in my pursuit of a 9.8.  We should start a John Totleben Competitive set in the registry.

Panini sold them without polybags. I managed to transport that book all the way from Rome in my luggage so a 9.4 was okay with me.

I concur.  The scan looks great too.  I want a graded copy of the #13 reprint as well. That plant with the lip leaves trips me out.

Michael lovingly created almost every book in his collection - sourcing the 9.8 copies and arranging to have the signatures done. Nearly every book has multiple signatures. I have owned several of his dupes and was involved in many of the same signings that created his copies.  One of the finest gentlemen in the Sig Series game, and someone that I grudgingly had to admit, very early on, loved Sandman even more than I did!

I found Mr. Fingh!  Please show us more.  Maybe we can start a collection fund to get you a scanner.

I gave this book away years ago.

[Jasonmorris1000000]

That was a nice gift.  I think the cover is fantastic.  It’s my favorite in the series.

I’ve never heard that expression before.  It’s hilarious.

I’m sorry to hear you’re selling your stuff.

Dont be sorry. I loved all my books, but after a while they owned me. Now I just make it rain like Pac-Man Jones all thanks to the Yellow Label.

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Sweet.  I got worried for a second.  Thought your Mom needed a kidney or something.

It's truly amazing, baffling and sad how badly Marvel up every single thing about the handling (including reprinting) of Miracleman after they acquired the property.

Thanks for the concern. I’ll take your mom to Red Lobster with some of my Alan Moore bread. Is she on Tinder?

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Amen to that Lazyboy1000000.  You got any 9.8 reprints or are they as rare as an honest politician?

Red Lobster?  Wow you’re first class.  She’ll be impressed.  Normally she goes to Long John Silver’s.

We can do LJS - it’s sort of like reading Tales from the Black Freighter.

Nah, the only ones I have are a bunch that I got for $1 each. The bags were pretty trashed, but the books were decent (~9.0)

[Jasonmorris1000000]

Just bought these online.  How well does a pressing work on a TPB/graphic novel?

I’m nervous to buy these through the mail.  I don’t want to accumulate 50 of them in pursuit of something that probably only 3 people on planet Earth give a bleep about.
