Comic book suggestions

Read the original X-Men from the 60s and Giant-Sized X-Men of the 70s

I think you have to sell a kidney to a black market dealer in Russia, who will remove it without anesthesia, to get a hold of a legit copy of that for decent price.

^There are always the trades! Now if were talking ''MIRACLEMAN'' a series that will never see reprint, then yes you would have to go thru that particulor hell to just get a ''dog-eard, water-damaged, semi-readable copy of that series!

Or do what I did and spend an hour and 1/2 downloadng it.

Extinction is the best reason for the digital preservation of comics.

You can't trust paper to tough it out and you can't trust businesspeople to bind books that might not, or will not sell, and most insanely in the case of Miracle Man if a book is trapped in licensing hell and the courts will not allow the reprinting of said book.

It's possible that Miracleman will never be reprinted ever.

I like the way you think!By the way I've had the same exact thoughts for a ''long'' time.

RAMA's posted a thread about a new Buck Rodgers comic book coming out soon.

You might want to check it out.

If its any good it might be worth collecting. Maybe a few anyway

Something Flash Gordon-y about those BR covers

 

[Guy Gardener]

I'm quite enjoying the actual Flash Gordon comic that is already coming out.

There's an actual FG comic coming out?



Didn't know that

DC, Marvel, DH, or Other?

Ardden Entertainment.

Issue 4 (there was also a limited edition convention handout with a decent page count which was labeled as a Zero issue.) came out recently.

Flash looks like Launchpad McQuack without a beak.

How come ST's comic folks don't make a Captain Proton comic book? CP's clearly BR/FG inspired.

Captain Proton would probably be considered a Voyager property, and no one currently holds the Voyager license. (The series sell seperately--IDW currently have TOS and TNG.)

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Thanks

That's a shame. Captain Proton really caught that Buck Rodgers/Flash Gordon feel, atmosphere.

That'll have to wait.

Oh well.
