| 2009-07-11 | Sarah | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, Brian. That was very useful indeed. Cheers |
| 2009-06-14 | Rosana | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for leading me to all of these wonderful resources. Yes, I did check out your website, and you're right, I believe that the 80's ThunderCats issues do number 24. I'm starting to find that it won't be impossible to rediscover these rare gemstones, so I'll look through these outlets and keep you posted on what I come up with. It will be refreshing to reconnect with my childhood crush again, (SIGGGHHHHH...to this day, I find Lion-O the ultimate HOTTIE!!!!!) You might hear from me in a couple of days or so, so be sure to look in your inbox. Thanks again! :) |
| 2009-06-05 | Roger | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | OK, thanks. I just wanted to make sure that they weren't valuable before I pitched them. Thanks again... Roger |
| 2009-04-21 | Richard | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Excellent. That clears up a quandry i have had for some time. Thanks for the fast response, your level of knowledge is very impressive. |
| 2009-03-15 | Steven | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Brian-as always, thanks for the incredibly thorough and helpful information |
| 2009-03-11 | Cory | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Perfect answer! He was able to give me all the information i wanted. My question was incomplete and Brian still was able to guess what i was trying to say! |
| 2009-03-05 | Avi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow-what a speedy and thorough response! |
| 2009-02-28 | Denton | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Brian was very helpful and very prompt with my question, thank-you Denton |
| 2009-01-01 | pritesh | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank u very much i really appreciate your help. |
| 2008-12-15 | Scott | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thank you, i was hoping it was worth a little more, but thats ok, i will keep it for a long time |
| 2008-10-25 | Nic | 7 | 6 | 10 | 10 | No | The response was very timely and polite. I will check out the website Comics.org (which is not loading) in order to get close to anything resembling an answer (which maybe located in a black hole at this point). The other two suggestions feel merely like advertisements and have nothing to do with publishing amounts but more with tracking what comics I have now. Please don't get me wrong. I appreciate the volunteer help for my question, but I still have no answer. |
| 2008-10-18 | Mike | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks a million Brian, for your time and a most comprehensive reply! You've given me enough links and info to get a fantastic start. Best...Mike E. |
| 2008-09-30 | Jonathan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Awesome! I really appreciate it, exactly what I needed all 10's from me |
| 2008-08-03 | lisa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for answering my question, and quickly too! You've settled our debate. My friend will be disappointed but maybe she can begin a search for who she is thinking of. Thanks again, lisa |
| 2008-07-26 | Pete | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | sir,i would like to thank you for your help . i can not think of any thing else to add that might help .the covers are not fimilure to me . |
| 2008-02-07 | Pedro | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | lol You know that is a good idea to take a quiz test for comics. You can help me win a lot lol. But no it's that me & my friend like to read comics (old & new) so sometimes we are reading a comic that talks about the situation but we don't know what's really going on. I like comics but I'm not an expert. Besides I tried google.com & ask.com but they were no help until I met you. Thanks again for the answer. I have to email my friend now so he knowa lol. See you on the next question. |
| 2008-02-06 | Pedro | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you. I appreciate that you had time to answer my question. I look forward to talking to you more. Thanks again. |

| 2007-11-09 | Susan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks a lot. That explains all these comics with no/partial covers. Thanks! :) |

Expertise
I`ve collected comics for 40 years and I'm able to answer most questions regarding comics, creators, fandom and the industry from the Golden Age through the Silver & Bronze Ages up through today`s comics, with an emphasis on super and action heroes. I have knowledge of the Western, Funny Animals, Romance and other genres, but to a lesser degree. My expertise lies in DC Comics/National Periodical Publications, although my general knowledge extends well into Marvel, Tower, Archie, Charlton & many of the "Independent" companies that began in the late 70`s & 80`s.
Experience
I have been a comics reader/fan for over 35 years now and have followed industry trends from distribution to creation to fandom to retail and back again. I have had several letters published in Comic Buyers Guide and have several websites dedicated to comics at:
If there's a question I don't know the answer to, I usually know who to ask and have been providing online information to a wealth of inquirers for over 10 years now. I'll do my utmost to answer your question, no matter whether it is simple or in-depth.
