Books like this one are difficult to track unless members or organizations notify us. If it were a digital only, it would not appear in the database but since you can buy a physical copy I'll add it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll go through the recent sales and do some updating.

Double cover Batman 46

There's only two staples holding the outer cover in place so you could remove it and no one would know...but why? That is a super cool feature on an old Batman. Usually on old expensive books like this I'd be in favor of grading but in your case it would remove one of the most unique features. How long have you had it?

Jealous!

That doesn't make sense to me since his first appearance and first series (17 issues) were all before this issue. So What the...? #3 is the 19th appearance. Is that a thing? Anyway, I'll research it.

title wrong for Inhumans: the untold Saga

What I can do to help is add in extra search terms that match the cover of the book, making it easier for people to find it. I've added The Inhumans: The Untold Saga to the search terms now. Hope that helps,

I was in a comic shop over the weekend and there was a major discussion about the right or wrong of what Brie said. It got heated but civil. I'm never a fan of being hit over the head with an agenda. (right wing or left wing) I'm smart enough to make my own choices and don't want to be spoon-fed someone else's view. (Notice how I didn't mention my views) wink

Is anyone going to C2E2 next weekend? There are a lot of comic artists that I'd like to see and talk to.

I saw on Instagram that Artgerm and Derrick Chew were also going. (not listed on the site yet)

Anyone? anyone? Bueller?

I'm am going to say a reluctant, "yes". We are considering newsstand issues to be a variant. The amount of work that that simple statement caused is unbelievable.

They have a really good mix of old and new talent. Every single person you named was one I was interested in seeing and talking to.

Every Saturday night we back up the site so that if there is some kind of cyber attack all the data is safe. We are going to try to move that to a few hours later so that it's less inconvenient for west coast members.

Trading a New Topic In Marketplace

Hey Taskmaster,
That was the original purpose of the classified ads. Primarily because a trade is more complicated than a simple transaction (money for comics). A trade can be simple but it can also be a convoluted mess. I'll trade you 4 issues, Batman #238, Catwoman 50 and Captain America 75 and 77 for an Alex Ross statue of Superman.

I checked in our cue for missing Variants and missing issues and didn't see this book. If you post books on the forum they can easily get lost if there are several posts that day. We strongly encourage people to submit missing variant and missing issues through the system.

I'll get this issue added today.

Chester,
You will need to create some kind of document that says what you have. Unless you want to advertise to someone local to look at and decide. Knowledge is power so the more knowledge you have about the comics the better off you'll be.

No, you can trade in the classified. That's one of the purposes.

First of all, 700 pages wow!

Secondly, you are correct that it isn't a good use of hard drive so we will look at this today. Yes, today.

I agree with Rhudman, low print run, and a great story. I'm currently on issue 2 and it's a great read.

I've printed this out and given it to Bryan.

I believe the first issue is related to copying and pasting from Word. They have spaghetti code and when you paste it, some of that "spaghetti" comes out.

The other issues that you mention, we will look into.
