Anyone from Penang ?

I am from penang ^^

Just finished Dabel Brothers' excellent adaptation of George RR Martin's The Hedge Knight.

The adaptation of the text is very true to the original and almost nothing is missed. The art is good, but it could've been much better. It's too much like most of the superhero comic books, I wanted something more fantasy-esque. The story obviously wasn't the problem anyway, since it was already great in novella form.

It's GRRM but in a comic book format.

Maybe there would be a Anita Blake fan commenting on the comic ?

hi all,

new to all this, as in just found out that this thread exists!

anyway, used to be a hardcore comics collector in my heydays, now reduced to occasional buyer/collector, mainly from places like Kino, etc. used to have Punisher, X-Men, Batman, and even have the revamp versions of X-Men under McFarlane. I think I bought about 10 issues before finally calling it a day, and I think I still have them stashed somewhere!

main point here is that I just had my hands on the Civil War TPB, and wow! blown away! really intense, not a load of cosmic mumbo-jumbo that needs re-reading every now and then (case-in-point: Earth X, Universe X, etc + Infinite Crisis) and am looking forward to the next one to be out in TPB, namely the current Capt A series.

hope to see loads of informative posts out here in this thread, and keep it alive, ppl!

now i was wondering, how to check whats their worth? and how & where to sell them?

all of them are in very good condition, with seals (not airtight) and a hard cover placed behind the comic itself.

You are collecting the early comics mostly from Valiant.

It was a huge interest at one time then fizzles out as fast as the Image bru-haha in the early days.

Maybe the Deathmate would be saleable.

any ideas where to sell 'em? any website etc?

Can try e-bay, not sure there is a lot of Malaysians looking.

Hard to see Comics in Malaysia. LOL. I got mine for sale, interested?? Vampirella, Darkness, Witchblade, etc.

Maybe we need to form a Comic 4 sale thread. LOL

yep! but the TPB may be out only next year, as the series is still running...i think!

If you havent already picked up any of Brubaker's run, you might be interested in the omnibus that Marvel is releasing in September.

I never fond of Marvel's superheroes comics, even though I have ghost rider and punisher. I usually buy graphic novels mostly from DC or Vertigo, like Preacher, Fable or even Kingdom Come. I also recommend Watchmen. And I can say that I am more into non-superhero type of comic.

whoa this looks expensive...

Well that depends on your point of view.

If you try to collect all the run thru conventional comic - it gonna costs you a bomb since few of the "HOT" issue costs more. Furthermore, some of the issue you will not possible to get it.

Omnibus is kinda inexpensive and complete issues. I remember there is a Grant Morrison run on New X-Men, about 36+ issues in New X-Men Omnibus which costs around RM300+.

Cheap or expensive? Anyway you will get full series.

You can check out my first post. I've listed out a few site there and some of them do have an online market price as well...

Sell it here in lowyat.net of course... You'll never know until you've tried it. If you tried it before still not successful... well... Maybe it's not time yet for you and the comics to be parted...

Err... jchj kinda reminds me not to support sales thread outside the garage thread. Beside... the admins would much prefer creating those thread in there. But... I do not know what they would answer if we were to create a link here directing to the garage sales...

No doubt the cost is always an issue but since the ringgit is going strong now... I thinks it's time the publishers lower their cover price...

I just got the first 4 volumes of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. Super in love with it. I am a big fan of the Dark Tower series and it was pleasure to see it as a comic. I am actually surprised Marvel is the publisher. I really do not like superheroes comic.

avantgarde84,

your username reminds me of my zine avant garde, published it in 2005 & 2006

crap. i once owned avantgarde@yahoo.com , before i gave up that nickname.

i think it was from a car name in m.a.s.k

just saying because he's saying too ...

do you guys get your comics from DCP ? what do you think the effect is , compared to say music piracy? they call it digital comics preservation , and i for one agree with some of the points , but after downloading comics do you still fork out money to buy the TPB?

assuming some of you actually download comics , seeing they can't be carried around and read in buses, cars, trains, toilets ...
