Pedigree Warlock & the God of Thunder
Okay, not quite Warlock yet, but “Him” didn’t look as sweet in the title field. Last night this month’s Comiclink Focused Auction came to an end, and it as one of those rare instances that the book I most coveted also turned out to be the cheapest out of the batch. In more ways than one as well, as not only was the Thor#165 the cheapest issue targeted, it was also the least expensive of the surrounding issues of Thor’s in the auction. There were several other examples from the Rocky Mountain Pedigree last night, and I have to admit being a bit giddy at the thought of being able to add to the stack of one of my favorite issues to horde with a pedigree and for less than an extravagant price (kind of), BUT still a beauty.
Infinity Gauntlet Color – Cheap Marvel Cosmic Goodness
If you asked me I’d probably tell you that I don’t really care for color guides or color ‘art’, a bit of a relative of my general disinterest in sketches, prints and unpublished material. You will not find somebody who gets more irrationally irritated when finding out the original art of his desires has been sold, and then told by the artist “but we do have prints“. I don’t want your fucking posters–I have a sweet printer to! Yet when I start going through some of my more recent purchases I see a lot of color guides or promo material represented. It’s weird how things work out though, as in an odd way, because of my step-son view of them as a whole, my possession of the pieces I do own kind of reveals how much I do love the subject of the pieces themselves, and in some manner represent a purer appreciation for that very reason.
