i know what that statement means, but i'd never say that.

after reading Cap stories for more than thirty years, i'd say that Steve Rogers was an individual always fighting for the rights of the individual, NEVER in touch with the rest of the world.

Steve Rogers carried a trunkful of clothes, a shield and rode a motorcycle much of his days and didn't buy into the "American Dream" as consumer culture defines it, never into collecting "stuff" and never knew when he'd go to war again.

Steve Rogers did not fight for consumer culture. He fought for what he believed, for the right to be whatever we wanted to be, and in that way the Civil War was a losing battle because the people in charge sold everybody out

as far as Cap #25, you know the familiar cycle; consumers lose interest, the hype dies, the prices go down and then we're onto the next new thing.

thanks for allowing me to comment.

b.

They're now hovering at 20-30 bucks for both covers. Still a goodly amount of money, but not insane. The regular cover issue is going for 6-8 bucks.

Probably more just stupid.

Like that sentence I just wrote. Damn.

Yikes.

152,50 for a single comic book. That was published yesterday. In which everyone knows what happens. 152,50!

Isn`t that, like, a little insane?

Yeesh.
Wizard is probably the worst of the worst for ripping off the uninitiated/foolish with overpriced slabbed, signed and variant comics.

Notwithstanding that Cap was a fictional character, intimating that what he stood for was the worst brand of rip-off capitalism is a bit difficult to swallow.

But if I'd have bought ten of these, I'd have a thousand bucks. *sigh*

That guy might as well just burn that hundred bucks.

I could have paid for a vacation if I had picked up a few extra copies.

Man, Barnum really had no idea, did he?
