Wow..... Real nice bro!! Damn Frazetta WOWOW!!!! Unfortunately Cap pretty much is the only CGC books that I buy. I have been a fan of comc books almost all my life, but when I started collecting CGC's I decided to stick to Cap primarily. I made it a rule to myself, that the only way I would get another CGC book would be if somehow Cap was on the cover of it also. (example Marvel Team up, X-Men #268, etc..) The only reason I made this rule was just so I could control my spending. Collecting Cap CGC's already have dented my bank account. If I collected others, man.....I don't know...... Anyways I have broken my rule once and picked up Crystar #1 9.8. I did it because it was a really cool & special comic to me when I was a kid in 1982. The cover was done by Bob Larkin and I thought it was so cool. (I'm into fantasy art) The cover was $2.00 when comics were normally 60 cents. I had to water the plants after school in my grandmothers garden for 2 weeks to raise the funds to buy it. The inside of the comic was full color on glossy pages, which was something totally new at the time. So as a kid in 1982 this comic blew me away and I went ahead and bought a CGC 9.8 for Nostalgic reasons. If you know of a Bob Larkin signing in the future please let me know so I can get it CGC SS'd. I will post a picture of it here soon as well.....

Great story Sam! Nothing like getting a book from your child hood. I will definitely keep my eyes open for Larkin. Hopefully he will be near you so you can get it signed. I will never get rid of the 4 books that I got signed myself from Joe Simon. I have been finding it hard to get the last three books that I need to finish my Cap run. So I dabble with other books. The Frazetta was from a very limited signing done on the CGC boards. I wish I had a Cap book for Gene Colan to sign. I might pick up the Cap #601 cover he did. Two of the horror books I bought raw and had them graded. Most of the books I buy that aren't Caps, I intend to get signed. Just the moderns basically. __________________ http://comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=11328

Quote: I wish I had a Cap book for Gene Colan to sign. I might pick up the Cap #601 cover he did. Yeah #601 is a good one as it his last comic book ever (I think that is what he announced). Either that or pick up the classic Cap #116, I picked up a litho of it and got it signed last year..... Yeah real nice Spidey comics bro! I know on these boards it looks like I love Cap and only Cap LOL, but.... I'm also a huge Spidey fan also. When I first started really collecting comics in the early 80's Spidey was it for me. Secret Wars, Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, the black costume saga (before Venom) The Black Cat romance storyline, Peter proposing to Mary Jane, etc.... I was there and read each issue month after month. In fact Spider-Man has always been my FAVORITE comic book to read. Yeah I love the Brubaker Cap stuff now for the last few years, but typically it has always been Spider-Man as my comic book of choice. In the 80's I really loved the Zeck Cap covers and art a lot, but the stories were just ok for the most part. Some story lines were good (Deathlok), but most were just ok. Excellent art though! Spidey though is what kept me coming back to the comic book stores. Even in between issues I would buy and read Marvel Tales back then reprinting the old Stan Lee stories. While Spider has been my favorite comic to read, I haven't collected much Spidey over the years mainly because there is so much to collect. I do have a few action figures and Spidey statues, but it is almost impossbibe to collect all things Spidey. With Cap, much easier as there is usualy a new action figure or statue every couple of months. So it really it really isn't damaging to my wallet for the most part (except CGC SS books ahem...) Ok back on topic... While Crystar #1 isn't worth peanuts in the comic market, it means a lot to me. So that's why when I saw it for peanuts on ebay for a 9.8, well I just had to break my rule and get it. Another book I would break my rule to get would be for Amazing Spider-Man #238, and Amazing #50 "Spider-Man no more" No not #50 because of the movie, I have always loved the storyline. With Spider-Man 2 though, man now that comic price is though the roof for a decent grade. As for Amazing #238, well that was my very first comic book I ever bought with my own money. I was at a drug store, and saw it on one of those spinning racks, and just got $1 for watering the plants for a week. I walked by the rack and saw this guy (Hobgoblin) ripping up Spidey's costume and I was like..."Oh My God!!, who is this guy just ripping the costume up!?!?!" I bought it right there and then and have been hooked on Spidey comic since. Ha ha the best part about that comic as a kid was that it came with tattoos inside it ha ha!! Free tattoos!! A great bonus for someone in 3rd or 4th grade. Now it's pretty cool as I found out later it was the first comic both John Romita SR & JR worked together on. Will take some pics to add to this thread later.....

Sam, would you ever get a sketch cover done? __________________ http://comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=11328

Quote: Sam, would you ever get a sketch cover done? Oh yeah, I hope to get at least one done at WonderCon 2010. As for those horror books above, all I can say is WOW! I was never into that, or I guess never actually paid much attention to them in the past. Now I see yours and wow those covers are just sweet!! Really really cool bro! As for your Amazing Spider-Man #36 above...wow it's signed by Stan Lee also! Back when that first came out I met Romita Jr and he did a quick spidey head sketch on 2 copies for me. I also got the books signed by it's writer J. Michael Straczynski. I wish there was CGC SS back then, or was there?

Very Cool!! CGC was around but I'm not sure about the SS program. Actually don't you have a Zeck sketch cover? I just bought a bunch of the Fallen Son Blanks from a website for $4 each. So I got 18 of them lol. They came and they are all in perfect condition. So I will be getting sketch covers done for awhile instead of getting them done in my sketchbook. I think I have about 10 of the Marvels Project blanks also. __________________ http://comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=11328
