None for me this week, and probably none for the next few weeks, too. I’m going to pick up some volumes to hold me over. Anyone have any recommendations for me there?

Action #1 was the first appearance of Superman, but Action was an anthology book and the Supes story was barely a few pages out of it. Same with Detective #27 and Batman.

Superman #1 was the first book entirely devoted to the character.

Action #1 - June 1938 cover date (released April 18, 1938)

Detective #27 - May 1939 (March 30, 1939)

Superman #1 - June 1939 (May 18, 1939)

Detective #38 - 1st Robin - April (March 6, 1940)

Batman #1 - Spring 1940 (April 25, 1940)

Marisa Tomei as the Mother…

I’m in!

And here I had always thought Action Comics No. 1 was Superman No. 1!

I was playing around with doing a story about this; a Mafia Don has a nerdy grandson, and when the old man is arrested and the usual income stream is shattered the kid comes up with a plan to forge the most collectable items in the world.

Marisa Tomei as the Mother…

The thing that I’ve seen with any forgery attempts is it’s impossible for one person to account for everything. There are experts not just in comics but on paper, ink, printing presses, and all sorts of other things that one person might not account for. Like you could have the same paper and ink, but it may be impossible to make it look like it was printed 100 years ago.

It’s like those people who catch speed runners cheating because Mario’s left leg goes 1 pixel higher when you jump or some other ridiculous detail that no one else may have ever noticed.

There’s a Michael Caine/Shirley McLain movie where they steal a priceless statue from a museum and then return it.

The endgame is to tell a few dozen rich folks that the one in the museum is a fake and they have the real one for sale.

Difficult. Grading includes print errors so for some of these things they know like that circle is actually supposed to be a rhombus but the printer lightstruck the middle third of pg 3-8.

Same with trading cards, it’s totally possible but for these ultra high end ones it would be a big big risk and investment to do.

Realistically, how much would it take to make a convincing fake?

It’s not like the original technology has vanished.

Rich people who don’t see money as a thing to budget

Nicolas Cage.

People who are consistently abusing the labour of thousand of people so the profit from a work year for 140 people is nothing to them.

Bezos makes the comic’s value in an hour. And just by not even doing shit.

at a high level average, the average US citizen earns 66k/year.

It would take almost 140 citizens working for an entire year, to produce enough money to meet this “value”.

Who TF is paying that much
