Welcome to the Mario Covone RU-vid channel. Home to all videos pertaining to Me, Mario Covone and my work as a director and writer of both film and comic books. Here you will find any and all videos that I make to promote my work.
Hi. First of all well done. That’s damn near complete minus the variants etc. hats off to you fella for that, the discipline and dedication required collecting this run is quite immense. There’s another guy who did a similar video and he has every slight variant (crazy) you can imagine. It’s great what you’ve done but you’re missing a few from what you showed plus then there’s the chunks you skipped over and didn’t show us. Also a nice facsimile cover. Regarding Alan Scott, I actually don’t believe the issue folk have with it is homophobia, rather continuity. He was straight from day 1 etc. his creator was Martin Nodell not Neal Addams or any other person with a progressive outlook. I loved Terry Berg, great gay character but Alan is not. Also the book did social issues with addams et al from 76 to 89 but after the initial spike it died a death hence they moved it to a back up in other books, when they revived it with 90 it was more generic superhero stuff. It’s not a progressive book it lasted for just over a year. Other than that this was a great video. Well done on this achievement, you’ve got about the second or third best collection GL collection on here so far, that’s no small achievement.
Two things: 1) Salaak first appears in GL 149, long before Kilowog and 2) Alan Scott's and Hal first met in Justice League of America 21. This is a BEAUTIFUL collection you have, and it was a pleasure to watch this.
This is a stellar film that has a terrific cast and a strong storyline with enough twists and turns to keep most guessing! I highly recommend it! I would examine it further here, but I might give away too much and everyone should see it and learn about the mystery for themselves!
My grail is Green lantern #6 and showcase 24because I can’t even afford any other showcase but can’t find any way to buy it that matches it’s value on price guides anyway amazing collection completely forgot about anything after Geoff johns😂.
This is a proper comic book collection by a proper collector. No slabs, proper reading copies, and a full run to go through. This is the way to do it: complete and there to be read. Speculators who just buy the 'key' issues and slab them are spoiling it for those of us who want to read a full run of the original paper copies. Loved the video!
Thanks Stephen. I appreciate that. I have nothing against slabbers, whatever they do with their own property is down to them. But you're right when you say that speculators hurt the industry and ruin it for other collectors. Regardless, thank you for watching the video and for your compliments. I appreciate it.
Thank you Cam. Maybe one day I'll go through some of my other boxes, but nothing else is half as impressive. Though I am working on a complete Justice League collection now.
FINALLY!! Someone else has my sickness, lol. this collection is stellar. The fact that you have the Flash run and Action Comics run says it all. Oh, and Corps 201 is Kilowogs FA, but Salaak came in Green Lantern 149. But yeah, fucking amazing collection. bravo
@@mariocovone498 oh it wont be soon lol. I just about paid off my showcase 22 (.5 signed by Joe giella) and the the girlfriend wants to save for a house. So its gonna be a long minute lol
@@mariocovone498 oh I know. Been a fan of GL ever since I was a kid. Gf fully supports my collection and I'm even allowed my own comic room in our future house lol
For me personally, I purchased the most expensive issues first, so that as I went on, the collection got cheaper and cheaper. It's difficult to give advice on buying Silver Age, because it's incredibly difficult to find people selling bulk collections or cheap issues. You have to be quite lucky.
Awesome collection, i hope one day I will have the same! GL it's my favorite! But just one thing, you missed the crossover green lantern and the planet of apes, i have that run 😁👍
There's a few that I do have, but I haven't pulled yet. GL/Planet of the Apes, GL/Star Trek 1&2, Blackest Night, Brightest Day, Earth 1 etc... I promise, I do have them, but I wanted to focus mainly on the main series. Thank you for watching. Keep collecting!!!!
@@mariocovone498 yes i understand, i was just saying because maybe you didn't know anything about that series 😁 again great collection, i started 2 years ago, but I'm far away from you 😂 I hope one day I will complete everything like you, thanks !
