Were the 'Just Saying' and 'There I said It' threads merged? I can't seem to find the first one using the search engine. Nope. The "Just Saying" thread is here... classiccomics.org/thread/4330/saying

Many people rate the Frank Miller + David Mazzucchelli Daredevil: Born Again as one of the top DD stories but what about the other Mazzuchelli issues that preceded it - worth picking up? Looks like they were mostly written by Dennis O'Neill.

Looks like they were mostly written by Dennis O'Neill. Personally, O'Neil's take on Daredevil is not my cup of tea. Of course, I don't envy any writer that immediately followed Miller on the title. Mazzucchelli's art is always worth looking at, especially in this period. It's probably my own bias that seems to make his art burn brighter on Born Again, which is a masterpiece by any definition. IMHO, the O'Neil (one "L") run best serves completists.

Looks like they were mostly written by Dennis O'Neill. I recommend! It ends a bit abruptly for my liking though. I guess I felt the whole idea could have been fleshed out more but it really is the first time the Kingpin is used correctly and in such a grand manner.

Rozakis said otherwise, in an Ask the Answer Man column. I still haven't found the proof; but, he said in two different ones that Binky and the others were Earth-B. In one of the columns he lays out the Earths with 1, 2, 3, S, X, A, B and Prime. I wanna say this was circa 1978-79, in the Daily Planet page. Have to do some digging. On the other hand, in one column he states that Earth One has a Wildcat, while most people assign the B&B Batman/Wildcat team-up's to Earth B. Most people who are stupid and enjoy being wrong.

To those who are long time readers of Thor/Mighty Thor. My question is about Donald Blake. When I read about Thor's entry in Wikipedia, Donald Blake was supposedly a separate entity from Thor, but then was explained in another Thor origin story, and subsequently that Thor and Donald Blake are one, and the Donald Blake persona was created by Odin to have his son Thor learn humility. What has happened to the Donald Blake persona in the current/modern Marvel Universe, has it been totally omitted by Marvel editorial?

Don't know about current, but he was brought back by JMS in the.. 2007?... series. After Thor's second series ended with his apparent death, Thor was entirely absent from Marvel for three or four years. When the series relaunched, all the Asgardians were on Earth, in mortal bodies, with amnesia. Thor's mortal form was Don Blake, and after he got his memory back, he went around finding the other Asgardians and restoring them to their true selves. But Blake in this series was a separate personality that shared a body/mind with Thor, similar to Firestorm or Captain Mar-vell during the Rick Jones era.
Not sure what they ended up doing that that.

Ok, so moving into the Hondominium in a couple of weeks and I need to insure the collection, which has never been organized and cataloged.
Insurance ?
At the very most, my most expensive issues might be $ 100 or so. I've sold different valuable issues off over the years to help when I was in a tight spot.
I do have some original art pages, sketches, commissions, as well.
What have you guys done ?

Make sure you have some pricing quotes/documentation and such for any single issues which are high end. And don't let them lump the collection into an all in one price because if you ever have to replace them then what the current cost is versus what insurance paid you all becomes moot as the dollars will never spend the same

Yes, thank you for that Brutalis
At one time about 20 years ago, when my collection was smaller, I had it insured, including Superman # 4, Incredible Hulk # 181, and Adventure Comics # 247.
I'm estimating I have around 20K copies and will insure them for $ 100K. I think that covers me somewhat. As this proceeds I'll get a better handle on it with the cataloging and grading of course.

I looked into it once before, and it was prohibitively expensive. In order to have the comics worth more than their cover price, you have to have an written appraisal from an 'expert', which isn't free... I was told you might even need actual pics of any more expensive pieces. I considered just taking out insurance for the cover prices, but even that I recall being kinda nuts.
Definitely report back on how you make out!

I'm looking into that right now.
Years ago I asked the IRS about donating copies to a non-profit, like the Boys or Girls Club. They said you can only receive credit for what the cover price is that you paid, not the market value of the copy.
Still, maybe some of my copies that I don't intend to keep, or duplicates, might work towards that end. Who knows ?

When did Venom posses Galactus? Is this legit? Cause I didn't think Carnage possessing Surfer was gonna be good but it was. Edit: Also, is this a legit Marvel comics panel? It looks authentic to me. imgur.com/a/ck5Jk

Whatever happen to Jim Hammond/Human Torch/Android version in TIMELY COMICS and why he's ain't around Marvel Comics while Captain America and Namor/Sub Mariner is. I was thinking about this for a day or two and the internet isn't much help at all?
