i grew up mostly with DC. the convienence store i was near only got a handful of Marvels. Marvel Two-In-One, Powerman and Iron Fist, Avengers, Invaders.... I just reread this and finally saw the chilling truth behind your statement here; a truth that escaped me earlier, but on some level, I must have sensed, else I would not have reread your post. What you're saying is innocent enough on the surface, but when one looks deeper, one comes to the shocking, sickening realization that you had to go out of your way to buy 3-D man comics........ I think I better lie down for a while.

My connection to Comics is abit limited I use to read Dan Dare when I was young but grew out of it after a while then when I went to college I delved into 2000A.D and quiet enjoyed it but on the whole havent bought one for a while but there might be a chance I will start again as I moved to a town with a specalist comic shop and its got a good selection. Any suggestions of a good comic to get into?

That's a pretty open-ended question you ask, cleburne. The answer may depend on what kind of comic book reading experience you're after.

Come to think of it I have an issue of 2000AD and of course Judge Dredd. I haven't looked at them in a very long time. I seem to remember that they appeared to be from the same publisher. Now I'm curious. :-)
Heh. After a little internet search I find that Judge Dredd has been featured in 2000 AD. I don't know the history so I don't know if JD was spawned out of that book or what. I see that "Dan Dare" was also featured in 2k at some point.

Hmmm, almost every comic book I've ever read and enjoyed I would call "fantasy." Sci fi...I don't know. Maybe it all depends on where you draw the line between fantasy and sci fi. It could be a very blurry line.

It could be a very blurry line. Well I ve just been to comic shop www.chaoscomics.com they had a wide range of comics I got lost in there. I spent 20 minutes just browsing around and couldnt make up my mind what I wanted. I asked the tender about Dan Dare books and he had 5 hard back ones but they were £15 each. So I settled for one that was $3.99 . But you will laugh I picked up a comic version of Ghost Whisperer based on the T.V show.

Ghost Whisperer eh? I know the show but have never watched an entire episode so I have no opinion on the purchase. As long as it was rendered well and has an entertaining story it doesn't matter. I am hopelessly fixated on Superhero comics though I do own several issues that aren't of that genre. I have a bunch of Star Trek comics and Prorider514 has a ton of Simpsons comics. I guess it's all about what you are interested in.

Oh you cant really knock the quality of the comic ,I suppose you have to appreciate how much work goes into them plus the story line was good but a bit short. I think I will try to pick up A.D 2000 and see whats that like.It take a bit of time before I find exactly what I m looking for And I did have have Iron man in my hand at one moment but decided against it. There is still time.

Hey Comic book fans, I found an old comic book in decent condition while going through some old stuff. Anyone know if it's worth anything? should I pitch it?

The guide has it between $10 for very good condition and $35 for near mint. I wouldn't throw it out.

shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=adventure+comics+419&_sacat=See-All-CategoriesCZ, A quick look at Ebay (link above) finds that AC #419 is being shopped for as much as $30 depending upon the condition of the book. There's of course no guarantee that those folks will actually get what they are asking but I never hurts to try. I'm guessing the book is probably really worth under $10 in very good to fine condition. I can't stand the old late 60s early 70s DC books about Supergirl, Superdog, Supertoad, Supermaid, Supercousin and of course Supergreat, great ,great uncle on your mother's side. As an admited collector I much prefer to buy books I wouldn't mind reading and enjoying but there are those that like any book so long as it's in good condition. TC
