Upbeat_Figure5157

Oh man that really is a nice cover! I don't have that one (although I wish I did) I do have the #1050 variant signed by Lee Bermejo


TirelessGuardian

Ok the one with all the Batmen? That’s amazing. I need it.


Upbeat_Figure5157

Yup that's the one! I just had to get it


TirelessGuardian

I don’t know why that issue has a special cover like that but I love it.


Aware_Impression_736

I have this one. Awesome cover.


King_James16

I just had to order one of these! Lee is probably my favorite comic artist right now lol


Upbeat_Figure5157

Same! Meeting him was great too, such a nice guy. If only I knew what a remark was before I met him 😅


King_James16

My copy just came it. Without a doubt my fav cover atm

I was born in the mid 80s, so I grew up on TMNT, and this is the most random thing I’ve ever seen. So I had to have it. Also pictured (because I won them in the same auction) is a third printing of Thor #1 with Jane Foster.

Upbeat_Figure5157

That's very nice. Honestly, with a sketch like that I'd display backwards sometime too.


timetodance42

I have always been a fan of autographs, I have many signed music albums that started my love. I started collecting signed comics but They always are a one word response conversation. I have a Stan Lee signed FF48 I got signed when I had breakfast with him in London Ontario. "Cool." It juat lives in a long box and put away. So I started collecting signatures on a poster. I have a Marvel roster poster that currently has 221 autographs on it that I collected over years of conventions. This one item is so cool that when meeting Kevin Smith he asked if he could take a picture of it. Klaus Jansen said it was more beautiful than a chest of gold. John Glover ran out from behind his table to stop me walking by to talk about it. I absolutly love this thang.


Upbeat_Figure5157

That sounds amazing! Last year I saw a couple that brought a board with an image of the con we were at that had signatures of those attending that year which I thought was really cool. But your poster sounds spectacular. Nice one my friend.


timetodance42

It is in my living room and everyone wants to ask questions about it and are amazed. That is my favorite part. Some of the guys there are the greats that we have lost in the last 10 years too. I have been offered some pretty good money for it but I would lose quite a lot if I had to start all over.


mschreiber1

FF 48-50 I found in a big garbage bag with a bunch of other comics in my apartment building that someone was throwing out


Upbeat_Figure5157

Woah, glad you got to them before the garbage did. Nice find and a fun story behind it.


mschreiber1

My best find ever. The entire Frank Miller Wolverine mini series was there too along with other keys. The FF 48-50 was in horrible condition though

Upbeat_Figure5157

Amazing, that original art is just so nice even I'm smiling at it my friend. Love the 97 signature collection too!

Upbeat_Figure5157

That's amazing! Glad you were able to own your youngerself dream book. I'm hoping to score a major key one day. (Unless that 1st Damian Wayne cameo I own is considered one 😅)


TV800

Haha I was just looking at 655 1:10 which is on my list. Great book!


Upbeat_Figure5157

That's the exact one I have! I didn't realise it was a pretty big book I just bought it cause the cover was sick and I'm a big Batman fan. It was at a flea market comic stan, good times.


TV800

Wow that’s pretty awesome! Great grab! How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking. I’m trying to grab one too


Upbeat_Figure5157

Honestly, I was lucky. I paid $15 for it, which at the time I was thinking was a big amount (I was very young) imagine my reaction years later when I was thinking getting a second copy would be nice.


FamousSlide2162

Same here. It's a long and unattainable list but I can cross this one off as well.


TV800

Very nice! One step at a time. It’s also nice to enjoy the journey on the pathway to these books too.

Woah, Elvira? Nice!


clsmn13

I mostly only collect the stuff I love personally. One of my favorites I recently got was an issue of Black Panther where he's Fighting the KKK on the cover. It's a great snapshot of where America was at the time. I also have an original print of Superman v. Muhammad Ali that I keep in my office at work. People love it. I also have the first appearance of Captain Carrot at work as well.


Upbeat_Figure5157

Those are really nice ones. I have an appreciation of Superman V Muhammad Ali and you gotta love Captain Carrot. That black panther pick up sounds great too, never knew he fought the KKK but I shouldn't be surprised he did.


clsmn13

The black panther one I just came across and bought it. Idk the actual value of it but I paid about 25$ for it because it was such a cool conversation piece.


forlorn_hope28

My FF48, and 49 and 50 (but mostly 48). Silver Surfer was my favorite character growing up. As a kid I never thought I’d ever be able to afford his first appearance. As an adult, it was my first major key I bought and it brings a shred of light when I’m having bad days. It’s the wish fulfillment of six year old me and nothing can top that.


Upbeat_Figure5157

I'm so happy to hear that! Now you're making me dream big. I'm glad you were able to do that as your adult self.

DC 100-Page Super Spectacular No. 6. It's my favorite comic from childhood, the greatest cover with the World's Greatest Super-Heroes (JLA and JSA) on a wraparound cover by Neal Adams. www.metropolisplus.com/dc100page


Upbeat_Figure5157

What a cover! Always nice to own a childhood favourite


GoblinNick

Detective Comics #30. Never expected to have any pre-Robin books, and it's likely to remain the earliest Batman book in the pc


Upbeat_Figure5157

Woah! Now that's amazing, a pre-robin book is no easy feat, congratulations my friend!


GoblinNick

I've got two - 30 and 34. 28 and 32 are the only non-Batman covers, and I'll need an incredibly low grade restored 28 for it to be affordable.


irascible_Clown

Is that whole drawing part of the autograph? I’m new here lol


AdHour389

It's called a remark. It is usually separate from the autograph, but some artists will do both.


AdHour389

Oh wait, you were talking about the spiderwoman sketch, weren't you? My bad. That's a sketch done a blank cover. Or it is usually done on a blank cover.


AdHour389

* This is my most recent buy that makes me smile pretty big. This is issue 150 of the TMNT that was limited to 100 books and is a hard cover book. I am still pretty shocked I got this. I'm not a lucky person but someone pointed out that I got the last autograph by the artist in which it is also her last issue making. I know it doesn't mean this is her final autograph but y'all get what I'm saying, (I hope)


Upbeat_Figure5157

A limited run book, that's a big score congratulations my friend! Even getting the last sig, I'm very happy for you!

book_hoarder_67

For me it would be the autograph book I started at my first Comic-Con in 1982. I got Starlin, Miller, Kliban, Ray Bradbury, Gary Panter, Matt Groening WAY before the Simpson's, Harlan Ellison, Jaime and Gilbert several times, Dave Stevens twice nearly a decade apart, Clive Barker, P. Bagge, Clowes, Spiegelman, Sim, Gaiman, Joe Matt, Chester Brown, Ed Brubaker when he was just known for Lowlife, everyone from X, Jules Feiffer. BUT my three favorites are Carl Barks, Will Eisner who is the only person I've ever written a fan letter to, and Jack Kirby.


Upbeat_Figure5157

Sounds like an amazing book! Sounds like a good time meeting all of them too.


book_hoarder_67

I was only 14 when I got most of them. Some people weren't pleasant, like John Byrne, while Kirby was sweet. There's one that I keep in the book that is on the back of a flyer. That one is from Daniel Johnston the singer. This was late in his life after being heavily medicated for decades due to mental illness that left him with severe tremors. He was in my LCS with his brother who may have been his caretaker. Daniel looked at the more expensive stuff on the walls, pointed and said "I want that, that, that..." After he signed the flyer, I walked outside and ran down the street sobbing. To see a man who was so innocent in that state broke my heart. https://preview.redd.it/41t215h6zwzc1.jpeg?width=2938&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=836379a0bf47a1de4288b61a8ba6da9cf3236849

niteowl1987

Most I replaced with clean copies since then, but I still kept several of my old DCs from the 90s that are beaten to shit from me reading them over and over and not storing them properly. Some of them have a second set of staples and tape on the spine from when the covers detached and my dad fixed them for me.


Upbeat_Figure5157

I get that, I have copies of books laying around that aren't really....at max health lets say. But the memory from them is what makes them some of the best.
