    Oh, I don't know - I think I'd appreciate it if it was HUGE, as well.

    I mean, that's the point of a collection, right? To add to it and build it with things that hold meaning for you?!?

    I got the signed LSoE in the mail today. I ordered the same day I got the email saying I could do so.

    You know what I mean, when it's small, you appreciate whatever you have which than allows you to build on it.

    Ok, maybe you don't know what I mean.

    Two recent CGC comics I am very proud of.

    Sorcerer One-Shot Graded 9.9 !!
    As of this date - the only one available and none graded higher!



    Marvel's Best-Selling Authors Sampler - DT Cover


    Intestingly, the Marvel's Best-Selling Authors Sampler isn't recognized by the Collector's Society as Dark Tower series book.... so it's kind of hard to find graded.

    I'm sure you're thrilled to own those CGC-graded books knowing what a collector you are of them. I can see why "Marvel's Best" isn't strictly considered a DT comic, it's more an advertisement for a lot of their products. Good for you for tracking one down.

    An amazing new addition to my Dark Tower collection - an original drawing of Roland's hawk, David by Liisa ( Lily-sai ).

    These photos really don't do it justice. It's remarkably beautiful.

    Thank You, Liisa. You've touched my heart with your generosity and talent.

    I've been a bit of a space nut since I was a kid, so this was a great and wonderful surprise for me.

    This is not a book, but it's my newest collectible.

    An original piece of comic art - From Detective Comics 854, page 10.

    The artist is JH Williams III and I asked that he sign the page for me.

    Detective Comics 854, Page 10 ( Batwoman # 1 ) :


    The original comic art photographed with the published comic page, for size relation :


    A close-up of the artist signature at the bottom of the page ( please pardon the weird lighting - the page is pristine white ) :

    Thank you!

    And... My foreign collection of DT comics will continue to grow - I just got a set of DT comics from Italy. I'll take some photos soon.

    I have some from Norway and Finland enroute!
