Your Guide To Comic Books

We found a comic book from 1947 in very good condition. Just curious as to the value of it.

hi! my father collected comics..1930-40’s on still does from time to time……. and passed that love to me…. I have been reading and collecting now for over thirty years….. and for a good fifteen years have graded/valued and priced on and off….. ouch….all that info just so you know that I did not just pull a name and site from a search engine….lol… …. for online pricing, info on books etc….this site is my favorite….

http://www.comicspriceguide.com/default.asp

hope it helps… if not, feel free to email me thru the answers link, and I will try and help you find out info on what you have, grading etc…..

oh, just saw two others answers are up before mine.. personal opinion here….

1) ebay is NOT the way to go… sorry but if I am looking for rock bottom prices and great deals, that is where i go… stores even will only give you a percentage…. before you consider selling? look into value after it has been graded via one of the two bigger grading/sealing companies; the value unfortunately goes up with it….

overstreet is very well respected…. but you need the most up to date that there is….

2) I have been to wizarduniverse.com and though the articles are good…. the items in their store front interesting? the guide is not so good and I could not find it online, if I remember and even the magazine itself for comic pricing, seems to have gone down some from when it first came out…..

I believe the first answerer stated something pertaining to values… if and when you get to values, grading and all the other things? the site I sent has some info on that… most comic sites will give you info on grading/values/pricing….. and, I really do not mind helping out if/how I can…. don’t like seeing people get shafted due to not knowing… anyway….

my favorite comic book series so far has been astonishing x-men.there is 4 parts to it and all of them r really good.

I am working on a project and I’m having troubles finding statistics on Comic Book Stores. I know I’m doing something wrong, just not sure what.

Like others said, this will be a very difficult statistic to find, and probably not something posted anywhere on the net directly. However, there is probably a way to find out. One company distributes all the comics in the United States, called Diamond Comics. They run a service called comic store locate service:
http://csls.diamondcomics.com/
This is a searchable list by city of nearly every comic book shop in the country. However, because of the volume, you can not see a straight out list. I would recommend calling their customer service, and asking them, because they are going to be the only people with any sort of clue:
The number is:
Phone: (410) 560-7100
Good luck, and if you do find out, please post.

I’m particularly interested in how the growth of air travel has changed American culture. My favorite book on the subject was Joe Sutter’s book on the development of the 747.

So, if anyone knows of similar books, I’d love to hear about them.

Thanks

Try "Hard Landings" it is a great history of the commercial airline industry.

MY BOSS’ OFFICE
Copyright © 2008 by Eben Brooks

My boss’ office has a wrap-around view of the bay
My boss’ office has a computer that’s build like a Cray
That he only uses for e-mail
Or occasionally to check his stock portfolio
He watches his ill-gotten gains continue to grow
And all I know is that I want my boss’ office

My boss’ office doesn’t have any books or files
My boss’ office has a desk that goes on for miles
In every direction
Spotless and empty, just like what’s between his ears
Polished to a glossy shine that’s better than the bathroom mirrors
And if it takes me years, I’m gonna get my boss’ office

My boss’ office has a wet-bar that’s fully stocked
My boss’ office; the liquor cabinet is always locked
Whenever I go in there
When he’s out to lunch or off on a trip to Tokyo
I take in the atmosphere; it’s better than a TV show
And all I know is that I want my boss’ office

Classic Game Room Comic Book Review reviews the very first, collector’s item issue of THUNDERCATS #1! Thundercats was an iconic 1980’s cartoon show about a group of half-cat, half-man (and woman) heroes from a distant world and a distant time… who lived on Third Earth? Well, full of plot loopholes and inconsistencies, Thunder Cats was still exciting and entertaining. Back in the day we watched the Thunder Cats cartoons as Lion-O lead the heroic Cat people in battle against Mumm-Ra and his loyal, evil followers. How does this comic book compare to the beloved TV show? Should you pick up issue #1 from marvel comics and their Star Comics branch? Check out this review as we look into the comic book artwork, the story, writing and characters. This first issue introduces us to Liono, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara (rrowrr!), Snarf, the Wondertwins and Mummra. These are some cool cats, dig it? They fly through space and wear latex body armor and carry weapons! Meet the Sword of Omens! Miss the first episode of the THUNDERCATS, well pick up the story with this comic book. It’s an entertaining read and one that you may enjoy so check it out as CGR Comics reviews, THUNDERCATS #1, based on the popular THUNDERCATS cartoon show which was made to hock the THUNDERCATS line of action figures, toys, vehicles, playsets, swords, t-shirts and plastic tank cat things!
