And Let's Don't Forget

Pepper Potts!

And who's Pepper Potts you ask???

Well... Marvel Entertainment cast Gywenth Paltrow to play Virginia "Pepper" Potts, who is the personal assistant to Tony Stark, the millionaire playboy!

And Tony Stark's alter ego is Iron Man of the same named film that is being released this Friday May 2nd 2008!

Pepper Potts was first introduced in the comic book, Tales of Suspense #45 in September of 1963 ! See the top right for the comic book cover.

Iron Man had started in Tales of Suspense #39 so Pepper was an early character in the Iron Man Comic Book History!

There were some changes made to Pepper Potts' appearance in the film, as it is a well known movie star that is portraying her in the film!

Gywneth also starred in 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow', which I really enjoyed, with Jude Law and Angelina Jolie!

So now you'll have a little background of who Pepper Potts is when you see the film in the upcoming weeks, LOL!

Golden Records With And Without Comics!

Golden Records With And Without Comics!

We received the following email question earlier today:

Dear make_it_so_marketing,

I received a Golden Records "Marvel Age Comic Spectacular" "Journey into Mystery" Thor album. The cover is only fair with one ripped edge and the album plays great but does have some fine scraches. I do not have the comic! Does this album have any value by itself? Thanks....

Well, my answer to this eBayer was:

Thanks for emailing us! I have seen both the album/record and the comic book selling individually by themselves at conventions. There are collectors that were not able to get the album when they purchased the comic book and vice versa.

So you have a probable market in reaching those collectors. Especially since the advent of CGC and PGX where they encapsulate the comics but don't do so with the records. The encapsulated comics go for about $250 in 9.4 NM grade.

Whereas if you are selling the record/cover alone, you probably should put a reserve on the auction to get what you need out of it!

If you have a question feel free to email us!

Iron Man Opens The NYSE This Morning!

In one of yesterday's blog posts I stated that the upcoming Iron Man Theatrical Film is making all the News!

Well it appears that it is even making the Financial News this morning!

Tony Stark, billionaire industrialist (aka Iron Man) rang the opening bell this morning for the New York Stock Exchange, (NYSE)!

Well.... actually it was Robert Downey Jr in front of an Iron Man Film Poster doing the ringing, but it sure seemed that Tony Stark was there for real in addition to promoting his movie coming out on this Friday! LOL!

Back then, Stan came up with the idea of selling the behind the scenes story of what it took to create, print, and publish a comic book.

The booklet was published by Famous Enterprises, Inc., in a paperback edition, and today can be found for sale at times around $150.00... there is a 'signed' copy for sale at $300.00 currently on eBay!

There was a reprint edition of this booklet:

'Secrets Behind the Comics' (Limited Edition)
by Stan Lee, with Ken Dale (illustrator). Published by Marvel Limited in 1994. Currently OOP.. Out of Print. First print was a LIMITED edition (700 copies) of the 1947 edition. This reprint had a silver embossed cover. With 100 pages. It was a Hard Cover Black and White 6" x 9" (15cm x 23cm) with a Dust Jacket.

Note: There is a different colored cover for sale currently on eBay for $120.00!

George Tuska's 92nd Birthday!

George Tuska's 92nd Birthday!

Right now the upcoming Iron Man Theatrical Film is making all the news!

However, we want to wish a Happy Birthday to George Tuska on his 92nd Birthday!

George was born April 26, 1916 in Hartford Connecticut.

He started drawing in comics back in 1939 when he assisted on the comic strip 'Scorchy Smith'.

George also worked in the comic shop of Eisner and Iger during what is now called the 'Golden Age of Comics'!

His tie-in to 'Iron Man' is that he drew the comic book for most of the Iron Man issues from 1968 to 1978, about TEN YEARS! They were issues #5 to #106 with a few interruptions.

He's also known for his Luke Cage Power Man, Black Goliath, the Sub-Mariner, Planet of the Apes, and a few X-Men stories.

Our thanks for his great work and his adding on to comic books lore especially on Iron Man!
