This is strange. over 1000 comics so far and these are the only 3 he bothered to bag (no board)

As far as I can tell, nothing remarkable compared to others I've seen. He has Captain Marvels #1-6 (and a #12), unbagged just rotting in the boxes, to say nothing of Iron Mans 1-3, 1960s Spider Mans and Fantastic Fours and the ones I've posted on here which all seem to carry more value. What a weirdo.
 
And also, another note, you'll never convince me that this wasn't intended to be 1960s-70s porn for adolescent boys. I mean it does nothing for me because I've seen too much, but if the only women I'd seen were from Sears catalogues, I could getting my rocks off to Red Sonja and Hellcat. I mean Vampirella, are you kidding me?

He might have bought them that way. Marvel Super Action was a title to sell reprints of stories before second printings and purchasing back issues was common. That issue is a reprint of Captain America #101.

With one box remaining, no sign of Amazing Spider Man 129, Hulk 181, or 1975 giant size xmen #1. Even though he has a ton of Hulks (3 within a year of 181) and Amazing Spider Man's (3 within a year of 129). I'm beginning to lose some hope of seeing any of those big grails.
 
One of Neil Gaiman's publishers has dropped him as the British author faces multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment. And his name is not on the website of the agency which has for years handled his speaking appearances.

Dark Horse Comics announced on X last weekend that it would no longer release its illustrated series based on Gaiman's novel, “Anansi Boys.” The seventh of eight planned editions came out earlier this month.…..

Now they just need to drop Neil into the Mariana Trench.
 
Rob Liefeld is done with Marvel.

The comic artist and creator says that after more than thirty years, he is severing ties with the publisher for whom he created renowned characters Deadpool and Cable.

Liefeld laid out his decision in a 90-minute episode of his Robservations podcast as well as in a followup interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he detailed a series of perceived slights at July's New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine.

At the premiere, Liefeld learned he and his family were not invited to the afterparty, something he was accustomed to attending. He also felt snubbed by Disney brass, including Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, whom he says was near him on the red carpet but did not acknowledge him.

"It was meant to embarrass, diminish, defeat me," Liefeld said on his podcast of not gaining access to the after party.

And there was another slight: Liefeld said he posed for professional photos with creatives on the Deadpool & Wolverine team, but later was told by his publicist that those photos were deleted. He believes they were only taken as a courtesy and not intended to be used, though other photos, featuring Liefeld alone as well as with his family, appeared as part of Disney's Getty press portal from the event.

Soon after July's premiere, he decided he would cut ties with Marvel, which he believed no longer wanted him around. "At some point, you go, ‘I've received the message, and the message is clear,'" he said on the podcast.

Liefeld said that his discomfort with Marvel began in early 2023, when he learned the company made the controversial decision to change the credits on Wolverine, awarding co-creator status to editor Roy Thomas. The character was created decades before Liefeld worked in comics, but he is close to Christine Valada, the widow of late Wolverine-co creator Len Wein, who was upset with the decision.

A year later, on June 3, 2024, Liefeld fired off an email to Marvel asking if he could receive a special credit on Deadpool & Wolverine, and inquiring what else might be offered to him, in terms of access to movie premieres and other promotional opportunities. Liefeld did not ask for more money, as he already has perhaps the richest deal for among Marvel creators.

Marvel generally credits comic creators at the end of the movie, but Liefeld wanted to be elevated to something more significant, citing the opening credits of 1978's Superman, which prominently listed Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster as the co-creators of Superman.............

Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Will No Longer Work With Marvel After ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Premiere Indignities

The writer-artist describes several perceived slights, such as being denied access to the afterparty, and makes a head-turning claim: "Kevin Feige does not treat comic book creators well."

There is a absolutely a whole conversation to be had about how Marvel has not done right by creators after making billions of the characters and stories they came up with. DC, too, but they have done a slightly better job according to aome people. But Marvel Studios has cold shouldered everyone from Ed Brubaker to Jim Starlin in terms of money and notoriety.

But Rob is a coked up goofball who is mad he didn't get invited to a party. Also, he is a creator of Deadpool in name only. His original version is almost a completely different character than the one that became popular. Rob should count his blessings he was able to make a career as an artist despite literally not being able to forking draw.

So anyway, the wrong guy made the right point for the wrong reason.

While Marvel and Disney no doubt has their issues, this smacks of sour grapes to me.
