I am always amazed at what other people can find in the wild! Or let me rephrase that find any comics in the wild. You just explained the influence of the Marvel Masterpiece cards. Kids in the 90's learned about other Marvel characters, their origins and their powers through these cards. For me in the 80's, it was the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. You learn something new every day.

Also not to bang the Spec Drum too loudly but yes I did hear that the Hickman Secret Wars run will get the most references in the Secret Wars movie but instead of using a God Doom to spoil a long run of that Epic Villain in the MCU, I'm hearing there will be a Kang Variant that will create Battle World and call himself The Beyonder which I guess makes sense in the current MCU Timeline

Hi Mike, I almost fogot that you asked for our opinion for Joe Jusko. I am a very big fan of his artwork but especially of his Marvel Masterpieces of 1992. I read comic books since I was little and my dad bought me the first German books of Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Superman. At this time I was still in Kindergarten and could not read so my dad used to read the stories to me. At the late 80´s / early 90´s almost all publishers stopped publishing German super hero comics and so I started to read the US comics and I really got into collecting in 1992. At this time I could order the titles at my lcs and he provided us with the previews magazine where we could place our orders. At this time I discovered the trading cards. My first set was the Jim Lee X-Men set but my second trading cards set was the Marvel Masterpieces from 1992. At this time my father used to go with me to my lcs and he talked to the owner who was about the age of my father then. My father read titles like Tarzan and Prince Valiant. He saw a complete unopened box of this Marvel Masterpieces and he asked me if I would like some packs. I would have been very happy with some packs but instead he bought the whole box for me for approx. 100,00 Deutsche Mark in 1992. I was able to get a complete set out of this box and 3 special cards (Hulk vs. Thing, Spider-Man vs. Venom and Captain America vs. Red Skull). I instantly fell in love with the artwork of Joe Jusko. My dad passed away three years ago and his loss still hurts but when I see those Marvel Masterpieces of 1992 a lot of happy memories come back to me from a time my dad was still alive. So you see, I don´t just like Joe Jusko I love his work because I am very emotionally attached to it.

It wouldn't be a flea market, convention or collectors' fair without Funkos these days. Geoff Johns is a masterful writer and, although I wasn't a Green Lantern reader at the time, I thought Blackest Night was such an awesome concept so well executed that I bought the core miniseries and many of the connected GL issues plus the one-off issues of titles that had been long cancelled like Starman. Getting the Secret Wars issues plus the FCBD #0: good move.

Secret Wars is a lot of fun, Hickman is a masterful comic book writer. Love his stuff, all of the Avengers/New Avengers, and the "Infinity" event leading up to Secret Wars was stellar. New book of his, Ultimate Invasion #1, was also a great read. Many channels I follow aren't as into reading modern books as I am, but I think Hickman puts out superb stories. Dawn of DC has also been a lot fun.

Speaking of the comic art, that's the proverbial mixed bag of nuts(as I think you like to say sometimes). More often than not we see the hotter titles besieged by the variant covers that push the artwork more than the stories & that makes it harder to keep those titles affordable! When that happens I then see some of the issues on my subscriptions getting lost in the mail, when the reality is that they were never sent to begin with. That also happens with the spec books almost all of the time...

Good afternoon Michael Great show as always, I hope you have got rid of that cold! I loved the look at that flea market, and I am with Caleb. I was hoping you might have picked some of those Charlton Horror, the often featured Joe Staton and Steve Ditko and Tom Sutton art ,They are really starting to go off the chart over here. Also agree with Caleb on the Unknow Soldier, always enjoyed that read. But you were hunting for yourself and got exactly what you wanted for $27.00 so great work. Some of the New Mutants issues looked to be very over the top on pricing, 6700 comic fans looking over your shoulder. Np pressure/\? Cheers Al The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda

That’s very interesting that those Charlton horror books are becoming popular over here there. I think they are very cool and I’m always surprised they aren’t more desirable here. And yes I think it’s funny I have all these people “looking over my shoulder” but I don’t really think about it and just get what I want at the time. I appreciate everyone’s interest though and maybe I’ll give those books I passed up another look in the future based on people’s recommendations!
