washane washane Hobbyist Registered: 09/18/09 Posts: 50 Loc: Pittsburgh	How about a chat on the Fusion fanzine featuring Morrison's "The Devil and Johnny Bates"? Has anyone read this story? Fusion #6 recently sold for a sum I wasn't willing to pay. The description states that it contains part 2 of the story. Link to Ebay Listing

Good sale. _________________________ I sold my first collection in 1995 for £1350. 6000 comics and 33 years down the pan. It won't happen again. Steve H who are you? where are my Dads 57 comics you borrowed on 17.09.1980 and never returned? (Seriously they were key Silver Marvels so if you know him PM me)

EwanUK EwanUK Talkative? Registered: 12/19/02 Posts: 702 Loc: England	Originally Posted By: nmtg9 Quick question about the Golden Age TPB. I have just picked up the McKean cover copy for £6.50 (ten dollars) is this the second print, or UK copy or what? I thought this was the first printing but I'm not sure now my commic software says its the 2nd print. Either way its a bargain for me. They are dated May 1992 and April 1993 respectively but I can't recall what dates they were released. I don't count them as 1st and 2nd printings though or different variants... they're different versions... Here's my graded copy

EwanUK EwanUK Talkative? Registered: 12/19/02 Posts: 702 Loc: England	Originally Posted By: juggernaut So here is a little gem that very few Miracleman collectors even know about. I sure didn't until a few months ago. It took me a few weeks to research it. Read the back cover and it will give all the information. Miracleman appears on the cover only and is drawn by Mark Buckingham. Back cover also contains references to Miracleman and Eclipse Comics. This is quite an interesting Miracleman item - one I didn't know about either until last year. It's not a fanzine per se, it's comic published by Richard Johnston, the comics journalist. It was published after MM 24 so is the last appearance of MM until 2004's A1 Sketchbook (minus a few mags). Print run was 3,000 and there was an ashcan version.

EwanUK EwanUK Talkative? Registered: 12/19/02 Posts: 702 Loc: England	Originally Posted By: nmtg9 Wow, that went for a lot of money really. Good sale. It was a record price and I got overbid - but it was bought by another MM completionist so fair enough. The article is not by Grant Morrison - that was a misunderstanding I perhaps created years back (see early part of this thread) when I was first searching for it. Obviously, the cover is by GM though. The article is the 2nd part of one begun in Fusion no.4. It's by a chap called James Clements and is a fascinating feature that I understand was a "big influence" on Grant. Both Fusion no.4 and no.6 had a tiny 300 print run so are amazingly rare. No.4 also has an Alan Moore letter in it. Ironically, no.6 has sold two copies recently on ebay - the one for £316 and one about 2 months ago on a £1 BIN !

I am looking into getting more copies at my LCS. Didn't know there was an ashcan. Just started my research on #1 & 3. Dirtbag #1-3 is turning out to be a hidden gem.

ryanatlas ryanatlas I was posting here when you were in diapers. Registered: 12/19/11 Posts: 3365 Loc: Boston, MA	Woah, didn't know this thread existed. Nice! I had a full run of MM 1-24, Family 1-3 and all 5 TPBs but sold the floppies last year and am in the process of selling my TPBs right now. Financial necessity and all that. It's sad to see them go but I'm actually holding out hope that Marvel will somehow, some way, some day reprint the original run and finish 25 and 26 in a single recolored Omnibus edition. Probably unrealistic because of all the rights stuff but _________________________ -Ryan

nmtg9 nmtg9 Chatzilla Registered: 08/16/08 Posts: 2072 Loc: Stockton on Tees UK	I reckon Marvel will announce sometime that Gaiman will be finishing the Silver Age and do the Dark Age but I don't know if Moore will allow reprints of his material. I know he did say something about giving his royalties to Mick An lo but he has died now so i don't know what he would do now. _________________________ I sold my first collection in 1995 for £1350. 6000 comics and 33 years down the pan.

The hold up isn't with Moore - he has given permission as his "payment" is going to Mick Anglo's estate. The hold up is with Marvel themselves as they will not pay Garrry Leach appropriately for the use of Warpsmiths and Qys. Both Gaiman and Buckingham are waiting to complete the series but Marvel want to run the first 24 first. They lost a huge amount on the Marvelman reprints which sold very poorly - it will happen, there's too much money at stake for it not to.
