It's all stuff that people have better examples of though.

@Marcus...so humble!

Ron Lim

4:13

@Marcus As evidenced by last week's Dueling Dealers

Andy Beall

I've heard the corn dog story before, but it still makes me laugh every time!

Mark V

4:13

@Ron Lim ... unfortunately, it is.

Ron Lim

4:13

All these newbies in here!

4:13

No kidding Dan. This live stream looks like a NWO white boy fan club

Marcus, your TF covers are brilliant. I enjoy every comment you make whenever I post on CAF. Cheers!

Felix Lu

@Guest...please sign in with your name!

@Mark V - Are you buying them every week? I just started reading Love & Rockets 30 years late and loving it. I need to snag a page on Heritage.

Felix Lu

4:14

@Mark V...is there any particular period of Jaime/L&R you favor? Or do you love the whole thing?

marcus wai

4:14

Then we'd tape some for the Albert stuff you would see as memes on Bill's show.

I've seen a lot of those TF covers come on sale on ebay back then

Hi Felix and Marcus

Felix Lu

4:15

Hi Mike!

Ron Lim

4:15

@Dan Albert gets L&R pages pretty regularly.

Jimmy Lawrence

My first published piece was an Invisibles page from vol. 1 by Jimenez!

Dan T

@Mikail - KLC4Life?

Will_K

4:15

Marcus, without going into detail, how many pieces in your collection ??

That was question was @marcus

marcus wai

4:15

@Will K I've lost track, it's a few hundred

4:16

I just started collecting a few pieces late last year or early this year (time has been foggy through the pandemic). Feels like a really bad time to be starting, but so long as I'm cautious and only buy things I love, I'll enjoy it.

Mark V

4:16

@Felix ... I love all the Jaime but have a fondness for his Vol. 1 & 2 work

Felix Lu

4:16

@Mark V...me, too. But arguably the better work came later.

Mark V

4:16

@marcus ... I know you write comments on a lot of the new art that comes through CAF. Do you go back to older pieces as well and write comments?

marcus wai

4:16

@Mark V I do not go back. It seems to be too much to wade through and some owners have abandoned their galleries.

Nathan K

4:17

Hi Marcus, thanks for sharing the Transformers #1 cover, and thank you Felix for facilitating it. What a pleasure to see!

Felix Lu

4:18

@Nathan K...it was not an important book to me at all...but I remember that cover so clearly on the stands. I do believe it is one of the most important cover of the '80s. For comic book fans. For the general public...I can't think of another from that period that would matter more. Totally psyched to see it in person!

Mark V

4:18

@Felix ... definitely agree with that.

Dave W

4:18

@Marcus - anything Hulk related in the black hole?

marcus wai

4:18

@Dave W I don't think I have any Hulk covers

Fabrice S

4:18

Marcus, appreciate how precise, scholarly, but also upbeat and fun your comments are

Felix Lu

4:19

@Fabrice...100%!

Dave W

4:19

@Marcus - thanks for the dedication it takes to post so many CAF comments. The interaction(s) are really appreciated!

Dan T

4:19

@Ron Lim - I botched it because I wanted a Frogmouth page because I just liked the art, but felt I needed to read it first. I started with Esperanza. LOL

4:19

I had never seen the Transformers #1 cover. Agree, that it's stunning. Thank you for sharing.

Dusty Rhodes!!!

I'm just trying to engage with the people who are actively posting, so I mostly post on new stuff
