Only of something happens to the quality. I mean, you can get anywhere from $10-$150 each, depending on the condition it’s in.

These are comix that had the Disney characters doing very un-Disney things.

Disneyt sued them and won an injunction and any comix that the company still had were to be destroyed. They are funny and rude

What are the funniest "Silver Age" Batman comics?

Alright…& Wonder Woman….
It doesn’t count if you went to Superdickery & judged by the covers. If you just looked at the cover of Batman 66, you wouldn’t have guessed it was full of boner jokes.

So what issues hold the most hilarious Batman stories ever?
Oh wait, you can include Golden Age issues too. I’ll even take the funniest old Superman/World’s Best/Detective Comics etc issues as well.

How Marvel comic series are set up?

November 222009

okay i am a star wars and marvel fan. basically big time nerd. i collect a lot of star wars comics but, although being into marvel, have never collected many marvel comics. i am now looking to expand and collect them along with my star wars comics. more or less i am a spiderman fan but i like all the heros and am in it to collect them.

now i am looking around and although i know bronze and silver age and what not, i dont know how the comics are formatted as far as series go. it looks like marvel sets them up by issue in series, and there are different series for each character?

as of now buying comics, i would not know if issue 179 was after 178 due to there issue series thing they do. again i dont know. i dont want to buy issues of comics if there number is in line but from another series. also there is spectacular spider man the amazing spider man ultimate spiderman and such like that. are those the series?

if any one could get me the info on how marvel sets up there comic lines, that would be amazing!!!! thank you and sorry for such a long question!

Each series has its own numbers. Mostly, plot lines stay constant in each series. If Spiderman is in a 5 issue plot where he is fighting Doc Ock that starts with "Spectacular Spiderman" 178, the continuation of that story will be in the next 5 "Specatcular Spiderman" comics. The other series that may star Spiderman will have their own plot lines. This is a fairly constant rule that only is abandoned during major events and crossovers. But, if a particular plot line is to continue in a different series, the reader will be told at the end of the comic.
However, you could avoid that sparticular problem by buying the collections/trade paperbacks rather than individual comics. The collection tend to group the plots together regardless of the series they come from.

And most characters don’t have multiple titles at the same time. Only the big time characters like Spidey and Wolverine do. Most just have their individual series and then whatever team series they are a part of (like Thor having his series as well as Avengers) but those plot lines are almost never interconnected.

BTW, Ultimate Spiderman (or anything called "Ultimate") is not in the same universe as the other Spiderman titles. The Ultimate universe is one that is kind of like the regular Marvel universe we all know, but there are several differences. Basically, if you read Ultimate Spiderman, you will find yourself going "huh?" a lot of the time. You’ll be asking why Green Goblin looks more like the Incredible Hulk, why Rhino is a robot and a lot of other questions.

What light-hearted, fun superhero comics are worth reading?

October 312009

I’ve been looking for a good comic-book series to read lately, and one of the more recent ones I’ve come across is Invincible, which I found really enjoyable and stayed up for five nights in a row reading all the issues.

The thing I liked about it was that it was light-hearted and laid-back, not unlike the more political and gritty tone to comics these days (not to say the Ultimates wasn’t good). What was better was the fact that it was almost Silver-Age in style, with the most randomest of things happening every issue. (Like a Martian invasion here, an Atlantis marriage there, and psycho zombies all at once)

If any of you know of a good superhero comic that’s interesting, fun, and intelligent and worth your time, feel free to leave an answer.

Ooh, I would highly recommend "Madman" by Mike Allred. It’s got everything you’re looking for in spades! Smart and super-witty writing, awesome pop-artwork, really great characters, tons of laughs…with some deep philosophical undertones, and randomness to boot! Kinda hard to explain, but it’s pop-culture trappings with Silver-Age inspiration. I think you’ll have a blast reading it.

Insuring comic collection?

September 232009

I have a personal comic collection of around 12000 ranging from Silver Age to present, mainly Marvel, I want to insure. Is there a way to go about this without having to individually grade each one? I am in the UK.

You should cover them under a "personal articles policy" (PAP). You may need an appraisal on the set.

Call and ask your agent.

Unless you know a good agent, I would recommend putting them in storage and using renters insurance.

I will also say that, most of the modern age issues will not be worth the money to ensure, as the value of them will not increase much (mass production does that).

You may also want to have the collection appraised before insuring, to ensure that it is worth it.
