With summer fast approaching we certainly have a LOT to look forward to. The simple question is which will make the most...Avengers? Spider-man? Maybe Batman will sneak in and surprise us.

Chime in , let us know what you think will be the best of 2012

Spider-Man Trailer
Batman - Dark Knight Rises
A long time ago, way before cell phones, before beepers and even preceding push button telephones, adventurous children who wanted to escape the tyranny of parental rule dreamed of escaping away to the Circus. Today circuses are almost completely unknown, but up until about 1972, almost every young man in America knew that when things got tough, they had the option of running away to the circus. As you can see in the film Roustabout, even Elvis knew this.
Young Clint Barton lost his parents in a car crash. All he had left was his brother Bernard. After the crash the two orphans were sent to children’s home. It wasn’t the best place in the world to be, so when the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonders caught their eye, they took the chance to escape. When it comes to comic book origin stories, this is certainly something different than an alien sending his son to Earth as his planet exploded around him, or possibly being gifted with a power ring by a dying interplanetary policeman.
In the sixties Marvel had revolutionized comics by introducing concepts and origins that might established a very deep and quick connection to a new generation of readers. Marvel had already given super spider powers to a teenage geek, exposed a mild mannered scientist to radiation that gave him a second personality that emerged when he experienced fits of temper and they had introduced a super-smart scientist who built an amazing suit of robot armor. These heroes argued, they doubted themselves, they had girl troubles. In general the heroes behaved like people in the real world.
Clint Barton joined the circus as a roustabout. He and his brother worked hard. As time went on other performers began to train him for a lifetime under the big top. Barton was taken in by the great Swordsman. The Swordsman saw to it that young Barton received training in as many aspects of the circus as possible. Most notably, Clint learned how to handle a bow and arrow from the amazing archer Trickshot. The young escapee from the children's home was now pointed towards the big time.
Then one day Barton happened to interrupt the Swordsman when he was counting out the loot from a recent robbery. Naturally Swordsman did what any good mentor would do; he offered the young man a chance to grow rich with him. Declining the invitation, Barton and The Swordsman ended up fighting, with Barton lying near death on the floor. Swordsman disappeared. When Clint's brother Barney found out that Clint had passed up such an opportunity Barney disappeared as well.
Left with no one to count on, Cliff was taken in by the performer Trickshot. The archer brought him back to life and when Cliff was healthy, gave him even more rigorous training in the skill of archery. Unfortunately Trickshot was also an extortionist. He talked Burton in going out on a job with him. The plan was to get money form the criminal Marko. In another unfortunate occurrence Trickster killed Marko during the visit and Cliff killed one of Marko's bodyguards.
That bodyguard was also the brother who had abandoned him, Barney Burton. Appalled at his actions, Cliff and Trickster end up in a fight. The Trickster walked away, but Cliff had some problems.
Over the course of the next few years Burton, who was now calling himself Hawkeye and appearing in costume, worked in various carnivals. One day he sees Iron Man at the circus. Inspired by Tony Stark's heroic deeds, Hawkeye decides to become a crime fighter. A these things seem to happen in Clint's life, even when he thought he was doing something good, he ends up paying for it. The very first night he goes out the police figure him to be a criminal. In one second he is a wanted man.
So what do we know about Clint Barton/Hawkeye now? He is a decent guy who is trying to do the right thing. He has a good heart but his temper and ego and obsessive nature can cause problems. He is easily influenced by the authority figure in his life but as soon as he finds out that the authority figure is criminal in nature; he will stand right up to that authority figure and get into a massive fight with them, usually getting beat to within an inch of his life (at least in his early adventures). Even when he is inspired to become heroic and serve justice, he is inexplicably branded a villain.
You would image that at some point, given his experience, that Hawkeye would stop trusting those around him. It doesn't happen He meets the beautiful and talented spy and villain Black Widow and somehow she manages to convince him to take on Iron Man.
Hawkeye's humble beginnings in the circus have given rise to one of the most complex and entertaining characters in the Marvel Universe. From his first appearance in Tales of Suspense # 57, (Sept 1964) he was a fan favorite and today he is one of the longest lasting heroes in the Marvel universe. Hawkeye is one of the mainstays in the Avengers and has served that team admirably over the years, both as a leader and as a troublemaker.
Like any long lasting comic hero his history has become complex. Over time he convinced the Black Widow to switch sides, made peace with iron Man, joined the Avengers, fought with Captain America, believed that he was in love with The Scarlet Witch, took on the identity of Goliath, returned to being Hawkeye, led the Avengers on the West Coast and developed other identities.
Why has Hawkeye managed to last so long? One of the biggest reasons is the most basic. The concept of a heroic archer is as old as Greek Mythology, maybe even older. The Greeks considered great skill with a bow and arrow to be one of the highest callings possible. There is something primal and yet simple about the thought of one man with only a bow and arrow fighting for what is right. That concept easily moves through centuries of story telling through the legends of King Arthur and into modern times with Robin Hood. Another recent example would be Legolas in Lord of the Rings.
Some people wonder why, when he was first introduced, Hawkeye wasn't just given a solo title of his own. After all, the concept was very fully developed and almost everyone loves an archer. Hadn't Green Arrow managed to survive the passage from the Golden Age into the Silver?
In 1964 new heroes at Marvel were being introduced with amazing frequency at Marvel. In fact the only thing really holding Marvel back from flooding the newsstands with new titles was their distribution deal with the exact same company that distributed DC, which also happened to be DC.
This meant Stan and the bullpen had to place any new heroes into the eight titles they could distribute a month. Ironically these real world restrictions helped solidify and unify the Marvel universe. Fans not only has a limited number of titles to pick up every month, which made it easier for them to buy each one, but the characters that populated the books were forced to interact with each other because very few of them had solo titles.
This led to Hawkeye's origin being inextricably linked in with Iron Man. Stan Lee had to put Hawkeye somewhere and Iron Man may have been the most logical fit at the time. By the end of the decade Marvel had arranged to get much better distribution which led to a new explosion of Marvel on the stands.
Today Hawkeye is one of the most consistent and interesting characters in the Marvel Universe. Others may be more popular or be cool among the super-hip, Hawkeye transcends it all. His loyalty to the Avengers pays off this spring with his appearance in the new Avengers film.
Hawkeyes future was set in stone when he stood up to The Swordsman. In his heart he is good. And nothing can keep a good man down. Not even a communist wench like The Black Widow.
Comics and comic characters over the years have played a unique role in politics over the years the first comic character to endorse a Presidential candidate was the Yellow Kid announcing his support for Richard McKinley in 1896. The Yellow Kid was featured on an enameled lapel stud that featured the phrase “Hogan’s Alley is Out Fer McKinley”. This highly desirable and rare collectible is desired by both Political Americana collectors and also Comic Memorabilia collectors. In high grade condition the lapel stud has sold for as much as $2,500. Rare comic books featuring the Yellow Kid have sold in excess of $15,000.
The Yellow Kid was the creation of R.F. Outcault. The kid was one of the first comic characters to sweep the nation in both newspapers and magazines. He debuted in a single color panel cartoon called Hogan's Alley in 1895. The comic strip allowed Outcault to introduce to readers the struggles of many of those who lived in the slums in the city.
The fun and loveable Yellow Kid was not only heavily followed by fans in print, but was also comprehensively merchandised. The Yellow Kid was used on a wide range of products including figural soap, cigarettes, dolls, postcards, dolls, chewing gum, pinback buttons, and much more.
For more information on the Yellow Kid visit our friend Richard Olsen’s website.
We recently spent some time talking to our friends at Collectibles Insurance Services, LLC (www.CollectInsure.com) about preservation. They mentioned five key areas all collectors should be aware of.
Collectors spend time searching for and acquiring items for our collections. Do most of us truly take the time to invest the same amount of time in properly storing or caring for our collections? It would surprise some to know that some collectors don’t properly preserve their collections.
The Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree collection is considered to be the greatest Golden Age collection due to the quantity and condition of the collection. The collection was stored in Denver, Colorado and it because of the storage conditions that collectors today are able to enjoy pristine copies of comic books that are over 70 years old.
One of the biggest threats to comic books is light. While we know that sunlight will fade comics and collectors need to also be vigilant again florescent lights. These lights will over time alter the colors of the inks on comics. It is not something noticeable immediately as it is something that alters over an extended period of time.
Another area of interest in regards to comic storage and preservation is that certain safes may be harmful to comic books. If you have a fireproof or resistant safe, or if you are considering purchasing one you should do as much research as possible. In some rare cases comics stored in fireproof or fire resistant safe could possibly create a harmful storage environment for your comics. These types of safes can develop moisture. These safe contain insulation that contains water crystals and cause a higher content of moisture then a standard safe. Also the environment in which a safe is stored can also be a factor.
Below are five key areas that any collector should follow when looking to preserve their collection.
Light -- Store your collection away from direct sunlight especially organic materials like wood, paper & textiles
Humidity -- Keep a good balance, ideally 50% humidity. Too much humidity can cause rust & mold. Too little can cause items to crack, shrink & become brittle.
Temperature -- Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations that can occur in attics & garages. The ideal temperature for preservation is approximately 64 degrees.
Handling -- Avoid excessive handling as the oily residue on skin can remain on items causing deterioration.
Stillage -- 6 inches (off the floor) is all it takes to keep collectibles safe from water damage caused by flooding; especially if stored on the ground floor or basement.
Valentine’s Day means something different to everyone. Most would agree that it has something to do with romance. For some of our readers it means a great dinner, a box of candy and a nice bunch of flowers. For others it may mean a couple of movies from Netflix and eventually fingertips stained with Cheetos and Dr. Pepper. Either way, February 14th is the primary day of romance as designated by the advertisers of America.
How do comics celebrate the holiday? Just like everyone else, with love, candy, a bunch of flowers, a smooch and in some cases, mayhem and battles. Our sole criterion for this brief showcase of romance was that the cover must reference the holiday directly. As you will see below, there is one notable, and very slight, exception to this rule.
While looking for some particularly romantic covers to showcase we stumbled across some real winners. Take the image of Goofy on the cover of Walt Disney Comics and Stories #5 from February 1945. He may a dumb talking dog (who by the fifties has somehow morphed in a suburban everyman), but he sure knows how to package himself for his sweetheart. As “goofy” as that cover is, how can you not love those adorable little tykes Sugar and Spike? Over the years the title had a good half dozen Valentine images, each one more cute than the last. Thank you Mr. Sheldon Mayer.
What was the exception to our rule? Headline Comics #23 March April 1943. While not a romantic cover, the text does mention one of the most memorable events of this celebration of Cupid’s arrow, The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. On a similar note, Static #10 pays tribute to the same event in its own, graphitti-styled way.
Yes, there are some covers and titles we have left off of the list. But we did manage to squeeze in something from the decade 1940 forward. At first we thought that the romance titles would be too easy but, surprisingly enough, we found very few direct mentions of the holiday on their covers. But there certainly were a lot of heart-shaped silhouette on many of the issues, regardless of the title.
We also looked at some of the "girl" comics of the forties and fifties such as Pasty Walker and even into the sixties with Lois Lane. But since romance was usually the dominate theme of the books (usually with a sailor, a dumb college boyfriend in a stupid hat or a superhero), they too seemed to avoid Valentine’s Day as the main subject.
Archie titles were too obvious. So was issue #5 of Batman: The Long Halloween. But no one can ignore the greatness of that story and it's art. So that one was a given.
Our last cover is a title that ninety-nine percent of comic collectors forget existed. The Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact was a comic put out by the Catholic Church which ran from 1946 to 1972. Published weekly during the school year and given to millions subscribers at Parochial Schools around America, many young Catholics found it to be a welcome relief from Catechism.
The title is most famous for an early sixties anti-Communist cover as well as the story, "This Godless Communism." At the other end of the spectrum, and also published in 1964, the book also featured what many believe is the very first fictional story line to feature an African-American running for President. Titled Pettigrew for President the story ran ten issues. Content aside, the book also featured artwork from notables such as Reed Crandall and Joe Sinnott. The issue below features a cover story on the man himself, St. Valentine.
Enjoy!
Classics Incorporated announded this week that they will be extending their offer of a guaranteed turnaround time of 20 business days through the end of February. Any order received before Sunday, February 28, 2010, will be shipped back by end of business on the 20th business day or Classics Incorporated will discount the order by 20%.
According to the press release, the turnaround time begins on the date the invoice is generated, which is typically done within 1-2 business days of receiving a proscreen approval. Proscreens are currently running about 5 business days (exclusive of the 20 day turnaround), while exPress service turnaround time will be 7 business days. This turnaround guarantee does not apply to orders for restoration removal or any other service in conjunction with pressing.
Classics Incorporated will be attending several conventions this year to accepting on-site proscreens and submissions including: Wizard World Toronto; C2E2 in Chicago; Wizard World Philly; San Diego Comicon International; Wizard World Chicago; and the New York Comicon. For more information, please visit www.classicsincorporated.com.
Classics Incorporated has just announced the launch of their new interactive website. The system allows clients to create their own work orders when submitting books, with email updates sent throughout the process. New services are being introduced as well, including the exPress, which offers a two week turn time on pressings.
"This has been part of an evolution we've been going through the past six months," said Matt Nelson, president of Classics Inc. "As the business progresses, we're getting a feel for our clients expectations, and figuring how we can meet and exceed those expectations." Nelson said to expect more changes in the coming months. "We're constantly working to evolve our techniques. There are some new developments in the works that we believe will considerably improve the services we offer."
For their pressing service Classics Inc. is rolling back the Modern tier cutoff from 1980 to 1975. "There's so many great books in that five year period, and we felt that it was a great area to expand by saving our clients $10 per book. " said Nelson. In addition, Classics Inc. has also rolled back their Bronze Age tier by five years, from 1970 to 1965.
Another change of note is the Proscreen service, which is now optional for the client. A fee of $3 will be applied to all books Proscreened, unless the option is waived. "Waiving the Proscreen is for our more experienced clients who are now comfortable with their own screening ability. Not only does it save them money, but it cuts down on the turn time," said Nelson. The Proscreen service provides a restoration check and estimated grade after pressing. "For submitters of Modern tier books this is the best deal. By waving the Proscreen, their cost is only $12 per book, the lowest we've ever offered for a pressing," said Nelson. Classics Inc. is also offering free Proscreens for all comic book valued over $4,000.
Matt Nelson and Richard Evans will be set up at the Baltimore Comic-Con the weekend of September 27-28, 2008 doing on-site proscreens. He and Richard Evans of Bedrock City will also be conducting their restoration seminar at the show. For more information, please visit http://www.classicsincorporated.com/ or email Matt Nelson at comics@classicsincorporated.com.

Best Golden Age Sets
1koko Favourite Pre-Hero Detective Comics #1-#26
Obtaining a complete pre-hero run of Detective Comics is an accomplishment worthy of top billing. Overstreet lists the first issue as scarce, and #2 and #3 as rare. This set of Detective Comics #1-26 is very rare. Well done!
starman221 KILLER BAT'S Batman #1-#100
This is a solid set of Batman with #1-41 complete and a total of 62 issues below #100. Only the hard work and dedication of a true collector to completing a run can produce results like this. Congrats on the run... only 38 more to go!
4Gemworks Comic Book Emporium 4GEMWORKS CRYPT OF TERROR Tales from the Crypt With only seven books to go to complete this fantastic run, this set contains some of the best stories ever printed in comics. This set contains many 9.6 copies and is sure to grow into one of the best sets ever assembled.
Best Silver Age Sets
CaptainTripps Canadian Original Owner Collection Journey Into Mystery #83-#125
Four 9.8's, eight 9.4's, and 32 9.6's. Most of them are top census copies. This set has been revised over the last three years, showing a commitment to collecting the best copies.
Bullet123 Bullet's FC's Four Color (complete)
The complete Four Color set is truly an undertaking. Trying to get this set all in 8.0 or better is even more challenging. Out of the 616 books in this set, only about 5 percent of the books are lower than 8.0. High goals and tenacity makes this set great.
Crazy Ed Emerald Insanity Green Lantern (1960) #1-#89
While this set is ranked 3rd in its type, the fact that the set is complete and doesn't get most of its points from high-priced books is impressive. Half of this set is 9.0 or higher and 32 issues are 9.4 or better. An honorable collection.
Best Bronze Age Sets
Sullypython Empty Set Marvel Bronze Age 1st Issues (1970-1982)
There are some difficult books present in this set. Some of these are very hard to find in high grade and what is represented here is very respectful. While this is a set in progress, it is already a set full of gems.
Barry Conner Barry Conner Green Lantern #90-#200 Green Lantern (1960) #90-#200
Only three measly 9.4's in this complete set, the majority of copies being 9.8. It will be hard for anyone to put together a run that would match this. A great set that was started just a few months ago.
Sterling Comics Dare You Enter... House of Mystery #174-#321
This set has been growing since 2006, now it is only 18 issues shy of being complete. Every book, besides being 9.4 or higher, has images and descriptions which really showcase these great books that are surprisingly difficult to find in high grade.
Best Modern Age Sets
worldsbestcomics Xcellence 94-143 X-Men #94-#143
This is often considered the most important run in the Modern Age X-Men series. Worldsbestcomics has managed to put together a very impressive set of books. First, the lowest-graded book in this collection is an X-Men #94 at 9.6 and from there it only gets better. Issues #113, #135, and #143 are all graded at 9.9. All of the rest of the books in this collection (including Giant-Size X-Men #1) are certified 9.8. This makes for a set that should prove very hard for anyone to surpass.
Darthdiesel Ultimate Variants Marvel 30 Cent Price Variants
30 cent price variants in high grade are a difficult thing to come by. Perhaps it is because Darthdiesel has already found so many of them. This is an exemplary collection of the many different books that went through the 30 cent price variant experiment. There are a few books missing and some lower grades on some issues, but to have so many of the books in this set certified in such high grade is remarkable.
armydoc
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed...
Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born
It is difficult to determine what new comic book series will mange to stay marketable past its initial hype. The Dark Tower series is one that has maintained its popularity. Almost all of theses books are certified 9.8, including two 9.9 books and one 10.0. Many of the books also have signatures from the writers and artists. Armydoc has put together an impressive collection of variant covers and signature series.
Best Presented Sets
Best2u The LL&P Collection - Thrilling Comics Thrilling Comics (1940)
The presentation of this set is unique and exciting, as it exemplifies the passion this collector has for his comics. He gives us insight into his excitement for this series through the use of images where he has zoomed in to specifically depict what is described in the engaging text. Though not a complete set, the time and effort that was put into the comics that are listed is evident through the detailed descriptions.
Raphael Loh The Best Run In Years Captain America (2005)
This is a smaller set, but has descriptions for all comics and double images for most of the comics. This comprehensive set has a detailed and personalized introduction that clearly displays this collector’s enthusiasm for this series. In addition, each comic is accompanied by a brief synopsis as well as details about the graded issue that are pertinent to the collector.
mschmidt m's sandman Sandman (1989)
The introduction gives us some history of the comic and creators, but in such an intriguing way that even the non-collector would be moved to seek out this series. Though not a complete set, each issue registered is accompanied by a succinct summary of the storyline and a scan of the registered book.
Best Magazine Set
Topnot evird Savage Sword of Conan #1-#100
The lowest grades in this set are 9.4 and there are only two of them. Most every copy is 9.8; which is a difficult task when it comes to magazines. There are holes in this set, but when you have such high collecting standards, it is bound to happen. A great set and one to watch as it continues to fill.
