Great show guys - thanks for the shout out for our documentary film Selling Superman! Was great to interview Golden Age Guru (Jeff) at the collection. Glad you mentioned the mental health and father-son story. It's so key. Cheers guys! -Adam Schomer, director of the film.

[@drbones77]

I couldn't imagine going thru that many books. We inherited a collection of almost 70,000 books about 5 yrs ago that were random in boxes. Golden age, bronze, silver, and modern in no order. That took forever to go thru. All my spare time til wee hours of the morning during work weeks to look for major keys. Wish I had key collector back then. I bet the Guru and Tom have a lot of searching still to do

I agree with Fire guy Ryan. Life changing doesnt mean that you gave to take actionable steps toward making a change if you are inspired by a life changing movie. Its a more internal thing. We internalize the life changing movie and it helps mold our perspective on life. Maybe more long term can a life changing movie spring you into action, but its more about changing our perspectives.

[@collectivecomics]

We had a chance to interview them on our podcast. It was such an honor!

Guys its real simple, when you’re a captive audience the focus quotient shoots up, when you’re home watching anything on your big screen tv’s you can become distracted and you normally do other things such work,”RYAN!” Focus is the key to it all. If you are focused you accomplish more and understand more.

[@donaldmiller9648]

I was fortunate to start collecting in 1970s when these comics were affordable and available and by 1980s had multiples of many of the silver age you showed, but in latter 1980s and 1990s lost interest and sold much of collection but still have a few...enjoy watchimg you guys work together and glad you found a nice collection to preserve. The TTA #27 I never found in wild.

[@goldenageguru]

Thanks for sharing some of you history in the comic hobby. Really appreciate that and glad you held on to some still.

[@THEORIGINALTRAVMAN]

"Not with that attitude." I love it!

HAHAHA Fire Guy almost said "Swagglehaused" at 1:27

[@darthsneaky]

Ryan, have you bought books from Swagglehaus? Did you get Swagglehaused???

[@fireguyryan9362]

Hahaha no, my brain was not firing properly at all in that part of the show, I think I mixed up Slander and Swindle! Never bought from Swagglehaus, honestly never heard of him until his interview with Comic Journey, but I've enjoyed the few Swaggle videos that I've watched!

MCU needs to switch to its horror stage of story telling. those 1970s bronze horror stories were unreal entertaining. love to see them on the big screen. the werewolf by night special was pretty good

[@fireguyryan9362]

Agreed! I just rewatched that this week and I forgot just how dark and graphic it was at times! I need more of that please, Marvel

[@goldenageguru]

Absolutely agree.

[@ryanbush6118]

I was 9 when Iron Man 1 was released. There's been 32 more MCU movies since then, I'm sick of them at this stage

Ryan did good. You should give him that GL #7 as a prize.

[@fireguyryan9362]

I should make like ten fake KZbin accounts and agree with you here in the comments 😅

[@owen9768]

Incredible find! While I’m sure most are drooling over the Marvel gems, I’m very interested in the DC finds! Showcase 4 and the early Flash books 105-125ish, have very low populations on the cgc census compared to their Marvel counterparts, and with Showcase 4 that book is already hard to find and gets even harder above 5.0, so when a new /nice one enters the market it’s a notable find. I’d love to know if there was Superboy 10 (1st Lana Lang), Detective 225, Action242/252, Flash 105, Phantom Stranger 1? Or possibly a very random and tough book… Blood is the Harvest? Any early Batman books? Those are quietly being gobbled up. Have you guys ever done a deep dive show into the history of the comic collecting hobby? Like Jerry Bails, Bill Spicer, Roy Thomas and all those old school guys who really propelled things in the 60’s? It’s truly a magical story.

[@kevinanderson3753]

If I had a Superman 1 in that grade I would sell it then promptly retire.

[@japanate8416]

"not us, we're not lyers 😳" was kinda funny edit.

Getting rid of marvel movies would be the worst mistake marvel could do.movies are there most money 💰 🤑 maker

These are the videos that are well worth the time. Enjoy hearing the stories behind the collection is so interesting. Gives all the books you talked about a little extra significance. Great work

[@zacherywalsh]

You guys are great thanks for the video love seeing Ryan Sweat Bawls over your comic book spec pressure lol

[@dalemoyers8881]

WOW!!! Can’t wait to see a follow up video of the comic collection you guys are going through. I totally agree with Jeff’s point about going to see movies in the theaters and getting the full experience. Also I would love to see that movie/story about Selling Superman. That sounds like a great story. Keep up the great work. 😎

[@PhantomBugler]

While ragging on Ryan, no one mentioned that Amazing Spider-Man #1 is also the first appearance of Jolly Ol' J. Jonah Jameson. Homework for everyone! Also, I'd spend the 3-4 million on Detective Comics #27.

[@fireguyryan9362]

It's ok, it's why I'm here, just the punching bag because I like current comics 😅

[@blood_sausage9620]

Oh I'm definitely the winner of that ASM 41 😂

[@BiggRuss]

The F&F films (after #3) are HELLA fun. I would sell that Superman #1 to get that Showcase #4 and as many Flash #123's as I could find.

[@charliedogg7683]

The comics would have been organised in the mind of the late owner - but it would be such an esoteric system that to anyone else it would look like chaos.

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Something kinda random but tied to what Ryan said about little Timmy talking in the theatre. Why are kids allowed into rated R movies? I see it a lot, and that isn’t safe for kids, and isn’t fair to the adult viewers.

[@fireguyryan9362]

If the parents are cool with it, I guess it's allowed, I definitely remember going to R-rated movies with my parents before I turned 17, but not as little as the kids Tom's talking about 😅

[@copy801]

Man……some of those books. I WISH I could get even one of those silver age books in a grade like those. All of mine look like they’ve been folded and very well loved.

[@EricTeske]

Good discussion. We vote with our feet and with our dollars, if you like something you better get your butt up and go.

[@LarenzoJ]

18:52 "That's quite a bitch slap there!" Love this, great coverage and banter, guys :)

[@RunMeThrough]

1. 100% agree with Jeff. Have to see movies I’m excited for in the theater. I hear Tom mentioning the kid talking in the movie. Easiest way around this is to go earlier in the day while they’re at school. Same thing during the summer. Most kids parents are working during the day so it’s highly improbable they’ll be at the earlier shows. 2. 100% disagree with Ryan. Kyle Rayner is not lame. He’s my favorite GL and that’s because the first GL book I personally owned was Green Lantern Vol. 3, No. 50. The glow in the dark cover with Hal Jordan being a BAD GUY and killing all the GL Corp, adorned with 10 power rings. So I was there as a kid when Kyle took over, had his GF murdered and stuffed in a fridge and teamed up with Superman, all while Hal was a big bad. Plus there’s a great story where Kyle kills off a planet of Xenomorphs from the Alien series. 3. 100% disagree with Jeff. Hulk 180 is first appearance. You see Wolverine in costume, he has a speaking role AND says his name. The market just pays for for 181 because Wolverine is on the cover.

[@goldenageguru]

Thanks for taking the time to right this amazing comment. I loved reading every word of it.

[@RunMeThrough]

@@goldenageguru I agreed with you on 1 of 2 things 😂 You’re the man, Jeff! Looking forward to the next claim sale on Instagram and whatnot stream. Love hearing you drop that golden age knowledge

[@fireguyryan9362]

I would type a reply but I'm too busy burning my William Wallace shirt! But for real...I'm (slowly) reading through all of the 90s Green Lantern run, and I'm still in the issue 30ish range. Haven't gotten to evil Hal or Kyle yet, but I'm sure once I do my opinion on Kyle will improve a bit. I still prefer Hal Jordan though ❤

[@RunMeThrough]

@@fireguyryan9362 🤣! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those people that thinks their favorite anything is necessarily the best. Kyle is my favorite but Hal is the GOAT when it comes to GL. I’m not Cleopatra and living as the Queen of Denial, eh eh 😉 Okay…after that joke, you can burn the shirt 🤣

Dungeons and dragons honor among thieves , was a box office bomb, budget was 150 million, marketing budget around the same amount, studios and theaters share revenues, therefore that movie lost money.

[@artboston4787]

Action #23 is the accepted first appearance of Lex Luthor and the story inside introduced him but Superman #4 ( the second appearance which continues from Action #23 ) was actually on newsstands about 2 weeks earlier making it the true first appearance for readers in 1940. Should Superman #4 be given the title of first appearance or at the bare minimum deserve a notation on the CGC label and Overstreet about it being on newsstands approx 2 weeks earlier?

Fast X was so confusingly insane. Plot: Hugs, Family, and Death Defying Coincidences. So kooky. Every Marvel movie has been better than Fast X, but still it was fun to see the cast chemistry. Trick movies have existed since 1890. Not everything can be breathtaking because producers don't allow outside ideas.

I recently saw a book i never heard of, Spidey super stories 11 where the first black cat is a black woman. Its never been mentioned but im very interested in it.

[@codsworth9950]

I think you mean 1st Spider-Woman and not Black Cat. Val the Librarian finds Spider-Man’s suit and she adds suction cups to the hands so she can climb walls and then fight The Vulture. The Spidey Super Stories were supposed to be more marketed at children, but they’ve gained a cult following over the years. Especially issue #39 where Thanos rides around in a helicopter with his name plastered on the side of it. It’s hysterical to think that Thanos would go out of his way to buy an Earth helicopter and then commission someone to write “Thanos” on the side of the thing.

Because his wife divorced him his son didn't want to really speak to him much because of all the stuff he had that's being nasty. Now when we can talk about money they don't want to be nasty and they even said that near the end of the video.
