Those of us who were in this fight for Jack for so many years feel vindication.
No doubt.
...and thanks for posting stuff like this.
I used to be a total comix head fanboy and constantly read TCJ, but I've lost track and don't buy comics as much as I used to - but there's so much good stuff out there!
Some of my fondest memories are from hanging out at comic book shops!
My stupidest mistake: when I was about 15 I had found a good condition copy of X-Men #1, but later on I really really got into the 60's underground stuff and ended up selling it because I thought I was "over" the superhero stuff - wotta dumb mistake! My narrow vision not only lost possible future financial reward I could have gained, but also is a crippling indictment of my stupidity of chasing "cool" and not having a broader and deeper perspective of the inherent great mythologies involved in superhero comics.
Most underground comix are near-worthless today, compared to the superhero stuff, but Jaxon's historical works remain amongst my favorites, also Greg Irons, Rory Hayes, Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso are very valuable to me personally even though their old books ain't worth much in todays market...
It took me a while to come around to truly appreciating the likes of Alex Raymond, Wally Wood, Jack Cole, etc etc, but when I did, a whole new world opened up.
