Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
The Cover: Well, it looks like Batman and Superman are begging to be killed because they have some kind of super-secret plan to escape their situation or they have realized that they are in love with each other and since…
I’m sure you’ve seen by know all of the Captain America motorbike chase scenes courtesy of the daily mail that have been making the rounds the internet lately. And I gotta say, they look pretty good. All of the Cap…
In my Auction Highlights #43 I looked at the recent $21,250.00 ComicLink sale of a CGC 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man #11. This comic book has an Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide value of $2,400 in the 9.2 grade. ComicLink noted that the CGC 9.6 grade is rare for this comic book...
Batman is one of those comic book characters that every writer and every artist would like a crack at. I have at least two Batman tales logged away in case I ever get the chance at DC. That being said…

ComicLink August Featured Auction
The ComicLink August Featured Auction has ended. I really like these Featured Auctions because they are not dominated by Silver and Bronze Age Marvels. In last month’s ComicLink Focused Auction 94% of the top 50 comics traded were Marvels. This time around Marvel represents only 42% of the top 50 books. DCs came in at 26%, original art 14%...
For me Batman #1 delivers a lot. The comic outperforms two other notable title launches in several ways. A quick look at the credentials of Batman #1 vs. those of Superman #1 and Amazing Spider-Man #1 highlights just how important the first issue of Bats is. Pick up a copy of the Overstreet Price Guide and read up on the above issues, I’m sure you’ll agree that Batman #1 brings the most to the table. The Joker’s first appearance will trump J.J. Jameson any day. The first female villain...
Terribly sorry for the large intervals between articles but I’ve been held captive by Dr Doom, much like the Scarlet Witch in Avengers Children Crusade! Why doesn’t the Asbestos Man have cancer yet? Professor Orson Karloff was one of the…

As countless sources have confirmed, we are go for a tv series based on Neil Gaiman’s most popular creation: The Sandman. You know, the Vertigo Sandman, not the DC Sandman who sprays guys with gas..oh wait he had a vertigo…

Over the weekend I caught up with the masterminds behind the nefarious plot to kill Shakespeare writers Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery and artist Andy Belanger. These three gentlemen are hilarious and we’ve preserved the audio for you all…
