My viewers asked the following questions, which I'll answer in this video:
How many All Stars do you own? Which comic franchises or characters do you feel would be better off being written by manga authors?
Did marvel have golden age superheroes in comics and would you show the ones you have? The commercials they show give you money or at least something in return?
Do you have any “recalled” or “error” “variant” books in your collection? And, if so or not - your thoughts on their collectability overall: hype, speculation or just rare enough we feel compelled to get them?
Could you talk about how disasters, mistakes and bad luck affect the rarity of some comic books?
Could explain to everyone what an “Ashcan” variant is? Second, would you show a few of your “Little Big Book comics and maybe the oldest one you have?
Curious about your thoughts on Archie. Every supermarket in my town sells Archie Digests and I've even seen them in locally-owned corner markets. It seems like the one comic that still sells to the general public. But I don't think Archies are considered good investments no matter the era. I still collect them but don't really understand the disconnect.
I’m ok at grading, but when it down to 5.0 and under it gets a bit harder for me. Do you also have this problem?
Comment on this video and I'll answer your question next week and give your channel a shout out.

Hi Allan, Did you catch my JSA 11 as key comment before it somehow vanished? First Wonder Woman JSA cover,first WW JSA adventure,first (only?)JSA against Japanese, formation ofJSA battalion of America -so presumably joining the army.Great cover.

Hi Allen, thanks so much for sharing your BLB collection. Most of those are in excellent condition - very impressive . For the most part you only see BLBs that are pretty beat up. Higher grades are much less common. I have a couple hundred or so in my collection.

Hey Allan, Re: the "Golden Age Marvel" question, if you do a follow-up and show some of your Timely comics covers, you might want to go into a little more detail and mention that technically "Marvel" was "Timely Comics" in the Golden Age and then became "Atlas Comics" in the Atomic Age before finally becoming "Marvel Comics" in the Silver Age. Also, as a counterpoint to your All-Star Comics collection, you could mention that Timely Comics had the All-Winners Squad and that after the Torch and Toro, Namor, Cap and Bucky, that Miss America and The Whizzer could be considered somewhat significant to "Golden Age Marvel" as they were part of the team. Also Miss America had her own comic for a few issues. The Golden Age Angel could also be considered somewhat significant. And Ka-Zar is important because he predates all rhe Marvel superheroes and was in Pulp Magazines that Martin Goodman piblished in the 1930s. Then there is also the Blazing Skull, the Patriot, the Fin, the Destroyer (Stan Lee's first superhero creation!), the Golden Age Vision, Golden Age Black Widow, etc. You could refer the person who adked the question to buy the Invaders frun from the 1970s and The Twelve limited series to get a broader understanding of Marvel's Golden Age IP.

Thank you Allan for the video - new question: what is/are your favorite covers from each age? Gold, Atomic, Silver, Bronze, Copper and Modern - but besides Good Girl Covers to throw a curveball! Appreciate your videos, insight and content as always.

@williambarrett7108 19 дней назад

What a great video!!! Can you share the golden age marvel comics of super heroes? Can you also explain more about all star comics when it came back and how long it ran in total. I really enjoyed your explanation of comic grading. Thank you!!!

After watching your comic room tour video, are there any books you know for certain are in your collection that you have not seen in years? As always, thanks for answering my questions.

@Deadman1957TEB 16 дней назад

Hi Alan, this may have been asked before. But can you tell me who buys these expensive comics, is it just separate individuals who are buying and selling to accumulate enough money to buy big books. Or is it conglomerates buying to sell once the price goes up, much like shares? There are a few books I would like to get just to complete runs, but can't see me getting them anymore! (That has a lot to do with my age and being a pensioner, lol!) I'm fascinated with your eclectic collection and obviously you must of wheeler dealered to get a number of your superb books!

Brainwave was better looking on the TV too. I wish Per Degaton was on TV.

@JMChick47 19 дней назад

Thanks for sharing the All-Stars you have. Does Stephan have more All-Stars?

@ComicCollectorGeek 19 дней назад

Ask him on Monday :)

@wazdakka1342 19 дней назад

Do you have any collecting interests that go against the grain? Like Matt Baker war covers instead of good girl art covers for example?

Of course we can count on you a to collect the “nude” or rated R variants of many comic books. You showed a variant of Electra that was a nude variant in this show. For scientific purposes only, do you have other such variants that are “scientifically “ interesting in that way?

@Adrift. 19 дней назад

You forgot to mention Angel as one of the early Marvel heroes.

@ComicCollectorGeek 19 дней назад

Good point..he was a major character too.

@fiddlechips8555 16 дней назад

Graded comics are a huge part of collecting today. I would even say graded comics besides the internet, is one of the biggest to happen to the hobby in twenty years. In your opinion why do certain collectors hate graded comics. They hate them in an irrational way. I crack every slab I buy, but I’m glad CGC exists. I’m even more appreciative of the census.

How long have you been reading comics?

@fiddlechips8555 14 дней назад

@@cardsfan5100 Since Batman #417 in 1988, I was nine years old. It’s been a lifelong love affair. Even tho the big two make it very difficult, with their modern books.
