Can somebody recommend graphic novels which feature dragons? Such as Bone. The Smax miniseries comes to mind, assuming it's been collected into a single volume. It has indeed; I have the HC. |

But people wouldn't actually be reading them... Correct me if I'm wrong, but if (indifferent) people like you got your hands on a slabbed book, wouldn't you open it to do precisely that? In many cases, slabbed books represent maybe just 1%-2% of an entire print run (not including variants), with many other unslabbed copies around....but the graded books get the scorn. I'm not sure whether slabbed books get a degree of scorn poured on them throughout the hobby? My guess would be that in more modern comic collecting circles or in areas where investment/profit is a priority that slabbing is not frowned on at all. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a book slabbed or buying slabbed books, if that's what you want to do. To each his/her own, as far as I'm concerned. But this particular community (long before it was located here) has always predominantly been a gathering of comic book readers, rather than collectors who are concerned with grade (although we all collect to read, of course). So, I think you'll always be fighting a loosing battle when it comes to trying to convince the majority of posters here of the benefits of CGC slabbing, Jez. You shouldn't take it personally though.  |

Ok, I was reading an early issue of Conan this morning and stumbled across this ad....  For the life of me, I can't place the character above Spider-Man and between Kraven and the Goblin. Can someone identify him for me? I am guessing he's a DD villain, as I haven't read much Silver Age DD, but I have read the Marvel Essentials for the first 100 or so Amazings (but it being black and white I could have seen him and just not recognize him in color). Any help is appreciated. -M |

Hard to believe they found a worse color scheme than the original but yonder it be!

Mr. Fear! I don't know if I've ever actually read an issue with him in it, but I recognized him right away from one of my favorite Daredevil covers:  |

Which other characters have had their race briefly changed in the same universe? I know Lois Lane spent the day as a black woman in an early 70s DC book and Punisher turned black in 1992. Anyone else?  |

I don't know if it counts but Martian Manhunter has taken human identities of multiple ethnicities and both genders.
Cei-U!
I summon the really thick wallet!

What was the first wraparound cover for a DC and Marvel comic (not treasury).
For DC, I'm thinking it was one of the 70s 80pg Dollar comics?
