Marvel SELLS OUT!!! to Walt Disney

The Comic Book Listings Blog:

In an absolutely Stunning move, Marvel Entertainment Inc. (MVL) has SOLD OUT to Mickey Mouse... er, I mean, to the Walt Disney Co. (DIS), for a mere $4 billion in cash and stock.

Under the deal, which was announced Monday and is expected to close by the end of the year, Disney will acquire the rights to 5,000 Marvel characters.

I can see it now...
"Sleeping Beauty Meets Spiderman"!

"The Seven Dwarfs vs The Fantastic Four",

"The Incredible hulk Seeks the Wizard of OZ".

Holy Mixed Marriages Batman! huuu?


Here's something for ya!
Back on June 2, 2008. I wrote a news article about Marvel Entertainment being Added to the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. At that time, Marvel Entertainment shares were selling for $34.89 in after hours trading.

Now Dig This!
Marvel shareholders will receive $30 per share in cash, plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share they own. That values each Marvel share at $50 based on Friday's closing stock prices.

Marvel shares shot up $9.77, or 25 percent, to $48.42 in afternoon trading Monday. Disney shares fell 79 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $26.05.


Bottom Line?
What do You think of this mixed marriage?

(Especially after the Phenomenal Iron Man Movie produced by Marvel Entertainment.)

Good Thing? ... Bad Thing?

Superman Masterpiece Edition Box Set

The Comic Book Listings Blog:

Found

Superman Masterpiece Edition
For Sale
on craigslist






Not particularly a Superman fan myself, I found this Superman Masterpiece Edition box set for sale on craigslist and thought maybe someone might be interested. Seller stipulates "pick-up" but, ? you never know unless you ask.


Seller's Description:
This package features a reproduction of the first, 1938 Superman comic book, a statue of the Man of Steel, and a book, Superman: The Golden Age, by comics historian Daniels.

The book is beautifully designed by Chip Kidd.

This authentic Masterpiece Edition set consists of 3 items namely:

1) An exclusive 8" tall Superman statue designed by Alex Ross
which is based on 1940s version

2) A exact reprint of the Superman # 1 with size and advertisement in the
comic as per the original

3) A Hardcover Book chronicling the first 50 years (Golden Age) of
Superman’s history with information and pictures.


==
Amazon.com Review: Four-color comics have come of age, and Superman--every boy's hero circa 1938--is now a middle-aged, American cultural icon. To celebrate Superman's halcyon days, the Superman Masterpiece Edition, with its balance of whimsy and class, is the perfect toy for grownup boys. The box is super-size (one and a half feet square) and seals shut with a velcro flap. Outside it's decorated with classic Superman pop art, and inside are three separate tributes to the The Man of Steel. First is a full-color reproduction of the Superman #1, complete with ads for crystal radios, 9-in-1 opera glasses, and the magic nose flute. Next comes Les Daniels's lavishly illustrated volume, Superman: The Golden Age, tracing our hero through the years 1938-1955. The book features rare and never-before-seen images of pre-Superman artwork and story drafts by Siegel and Shuster. It also includes stills from cartoons and early movies. But the real treasure here is the polyresin figure--exclusive to this set. The statue is, frankly, one of the best pieces of Superman art you'll ever find: a tribute to Shuster's original Superman artwork rendered by comics master Alex Ross (of Kingdom Come fame) and painted by Chris Ware (creator of the cult classic Acme Novelty Library). The statue is a tasteful piece of Americana that will likely find a home atop your local version of the Daily Planet (e.g., a CD tower or bookcase)

Everything is in near mint condition. I'll throw in a bonus too


$40, pickup in Carrollton

My Entire Comic Book Collection! 350 comics! Bonus Cards and Tie! - $300 (Carrollton)

Comic Book Listings has posted this craigslist.org posting via craigslist's "Email a Friend" link.


My Entire Comic Book Collection! 350 comics! Bonus Cards and Tie!

I have decided to sell off my entire comic book collection. Two long boxes worth of comics, about 350 issues! The entire list of what I've got can be found here:

http://www.comicspriceguide.com/world/default.aspx?m=DIGITAL%20MAN
(note: Firefox has issues rendering the page correctly, so use the scroll bar at the bottom and go all the way to the right to see my collection)

I have used that format just because it's so organized. Towards the bottom of this listing you can also find the full, hyperlinked set of issues.

I have a few more comics than are listed there(probably about 5 to 10 extra) as there were some issues or titles I just couldn't find in their database. NOTE: Please ignore the rating of the actual comics in that database. It says that everything is "9.4" and I just don't have the time to go through and change every instance of that. Please read below for more info...

In terms of the comics' condition: They have been stored in two cardboard long boxes(comic boxes, like you see in the shops) and every comic has been kept in mylar bags, with cardboard backings. Now, I didn't have time to look through every single comic but I am certain that they are all in very good shape. I was a collector for the longest time, I'd buy issues just to have them...wouldn't even open them up to read the damn things.

So, like I said, you get it all: The comics, the mylar bags(plus the ones I haven't even used yet, there's a lot), the cardboard backings, the long boxes, all of it for less than a $1 an issue. Plus, as a bonus I am throwing in my entire collection of comic cards! I've got cards from all sorts of series, featuring a variety of super heroes.

Here's the list:
4 cards featuring Carnage
14 cards featuring Venom
6 cards featuring Deadpool
19 cards featuring X-Men
6 cards featuring Spider-Man
What looks to be an entire set for Ghost Rider II(100+ cards)
6 Special or "Metal" cards

Like the comics, the cards are in good condition. The series include Wolverine II, Spider-Man II, Marvel Metal, Spider-Man, Marvel Universe 1994, Marvel Masterpieces 1993, 95 Fleer Ultra, X-Men 2, Marvel Universe 1992, Marvel Masterpieces, Marvel Universe 1993, Marvel 1992, Marvel 1991 and Ghost Rider II.

Finally, I also have a Marvel tie that has various Marvel super heroes on it...am throwing that in as well. :)

You're more than welcome to sift through them before you buy, to make sure they are up to your standards...like I said, most are in very good condition as I kept them in those mylar bags, and then in the cardboard long boxes.

This item is available as long as you see this ad(I remove my items only after they have actually sold). Please *do not* just email me with your phone number and ask for me to call you. There are *way* too many scammers out there and I'm tired of calling up numbers only to have a guy try to sell me a fake magazine subscription(or something). If you have questions, shoot them to me via email, I *will* respond.


Note: In order to see the cover scans, you have to sign up for an account. Don't worry, it's free and they don't spam you...they don't even send a confirmation email! You sign up and you're immediately active!

If I had more than three issues of a particular series, I just linked to the cover scan gallery as it was easier. I ONLY HAVE THE ONES LISTED HERE, even though the cover galleries will show all issues.

A few quick words on how I do things on Craig's List: 1. I do my best to describe these items as thoroughly as I can, so you'll know *exactly* what to expect. All items are in working condition, unless otherwise noted. 2. If an item is found to be faulty, I *will* give you a full refund, no problem(so far, this has never happened). 3. I set up meets in public places, like malls and whatnot. Essentially, this is how it goes with me: You email me and tell me you're interested, I reply back and we negotiate a time and place to meet, once agreed upon I will give you my cell number in case anything comes up between then and the time of the meet. It's a simple as that. :)
