#1, #8, and #13 have glow in the dark covers.

Only 15% of the first 20 issues had glow in the dark covers? What a rip off!

I know what you mean but this one just misses the mark for me...the "so lame its good" covers for me are the ones like this

I bought a long box from some sailor moving out. Looks like reading fodder from the early 80 to late 80's, but for $20 I'm not complaining, and I'll just toss them later.

I'm waitng for the day when you buy a Batman #1 in VG for $5, and then "toss it later"....I'll be standing at the garbage can....

)...all this throwing away of comics....SACRILEGE!

I finally got great copies of Batman #404 - 407, Miller's Year One story. It's fantastic and I'm glad to have the real issues and not the trade.

Did you read them?

I just read #404 for about the 10th time....

Still as good.

I've read the Year One Trade several times since I got it probably back when the trade was first printed. I looked through the actual comics I landed tonight, but haven't "read" them yet. I'll have time eventually to read them (and I will), but I primarily wanted these just to have the actual books. I'd rather have a real comic over a trade anyday. I'll probably land the Year Two stuff soon too...

This damn board has me hooked on modern keys and so forth and I'm working on Batman stuff now too. I don't even want to talk about the Ras Al Gul fix I need... oh sheesh.

I usually don't dig beaters like this but this is one of those books I make an exception for.

For people who dig visual references and don't know semi-classic books by heart (not the copy I bought):

One of my all time favorite covers, ever.

First time I saw that cover, back in 1994, I nearly cried. Well, maybe "cried" is too strong of a word....

Wait...I think I recognize that #39...was it for sale recently on eBay? I recognize the vertical crease...

ZephyrWasHOT!! · Post by **ZephyrWasHOT!!** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 2:45 pm

Interesting thought.....

Did anyone ever look at the cover to Spidey #122 and get the impression of a British Union Jack?

I always did.

I paid $200 for a Spidey #39 in CGC 7.5. Anyone think that was an OK price?

JohnnyRnR · Post by **JohnnyRnR** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 11:57 am

From what I've seen dealers asking for 39 or 40 UNSLABBED in a broad range of grades (usually $180-$400, from G to maybe one VF), I'd say yes. You can't seem to find those affordably in person, and unslabbed books of that age are obviously a gamble on ebay if you care at all for condition.

How about this for a nice comic. I didn't pick it up but if I go insane in the next couple of days I might
