I saw these clear backing boards for comic books, and man, I would love this for some wraparound covers like all the Who's Who comic or the JLA/A comic... but it's so expensive. $32 for 25. Anyone bought these? Are they worth it? Do they suck/break/foggy? amzn.to/4gbAkxz

Once again, good old reliable Neal Adams was called in to re-do the cover. The original House of Mystery #251 cover by Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez and Bernie Wrightson. It was deemed too gruesome according to the Comics Code. FYI: I thought DC Finest Horror was VERY very tame compared to EC.

DC Comics had a great Gil Kane JLA #81 cover ready to go, but the editor needed it to be changed (I think it has to do with Flash's head and the wing tip), so they hired Neal Adams to re-draw the cover. Also: Seems silly that Atom can just walk through the bars

If I were to guess why this Denys Cowan cover on the left was rejected - it is probably that eye-ray, which makes him look like he has some x-ray vision powers. The published cover is much better to convey Jericho's powers.

There are varying degrees to the Amazon coupons - the highest I've seen is 30% off. If you see some good coupon deals - let me know. Coupon expires on August 3. Here are the books I see - WW Silver Age vol 3 looks good for $45. Interested in Marvel Universe Handbook amzn.to/4fPvBR7

You guys know that I'm always looking for ways to store my comic. I came across this wooden box design for $34. I'm interested, but... not I'm not sure if I like that mesh metal design. It's cheaper than BCW (which is the Gold Standard for me - but they are just too pricey at $40). amzn.to/4wjNC09

Image on the left is Mike Mignola's rejected artwork for Batman Black and White Vol 2. I think it's because you don't immediate recognize it's Batman... so a re-draw was necessary to show the Batman emblem Let me know if you want more of these, otherwise this might be the last

I saw this Flash Fastest Man Alive at Ollies, which includes Flashpoint. I am assuming it reprints the inked George Perez variant covers. I didn't buy it (already have Flashpoint in a better format). It's discounted to $15.If you don't live near Ollie, Amazon has it for cheap-ish amzn.to/4x9QP2V

I find this kind of thing really cool. Gil Kane originally drew the cover to Secret Origins #2 and some adjustments needed to be made to the cover. I'm assuming they couldn't get Kane to do it on a tight schedule, so they got Ricardo Villagran to do the cover - and he signed it Kane & Villagran.
