Is there a good news site to look at for actual information? Fox and MSNBC aren't news. Sometime in the early 2000s CNN started publishing Washington press releases and calling that journalism.
I just want a site to see lots of information about what is happening in the world that doesn't lean to far one way or the other.
I tend to go to BBC or Reuters
I throw in NPR as well. They are the best news organization in the US at this point, not that there is much competition.
I've had some issues with NPR. Not so much their news as much as the segments. They did one last winter that actually looked at my hometown (also the hometown of the correspondent). The final piece, as released was pretty much a hatchet job that focused entirely on the negative side of small town midwestern life. There's no doubt that the things that were said were true, but they were less than half of a story that likely gets much more traction in metro areas and advances a stereotype that is not at all representative of the majority of that community.

Oops. Sorry. I fell asleep there for a second. What did you say?*

This sale outdid the past $2,161,000 paid for a slightly less pristine copy that was auctioned in 2011. This record-breaking auction started on August 14 with a bid of $1 million and then gradually flew ever higher over the next 10 days, drawing in 13 different bidders with a total of 48 bids. As with most eBay auctions, the action heated up over the final minutes as the bidding quickly jumped from $2.5 million to $2.6 million to $2.7 million before shooting up to $3,207,752. But at virtually the last few seconds, the winning bidder automatically won with an offer of $3,207,852 to take home the holy grail of comics. This item became most expensive comic book ever sold on eBay.
Finally saw the season finale of Penny Dreadful. Disappointing. I was disappointed with how Dorian Grey was handled and I had guessed Brona Croft's fate and Ethan Chandler's secret about half way through the season. However, the series is very well done and wonderfully acted. The LoEG take on Universal Monsters is a great idea. I'm all in for Season 2.
If you liked the concept of Penny Dreadful, then you have to read Anno Dracula by Kim Newman.
If you found one in exactly the same condition as this in your attic. Would you sell it or keep it???
Sell it. But I'd want to read it first.
...which means breaking it out of the package...
Use the money from the sale to buy every DC Archive ever...it's reproduced in full in those.
Not quite true -- the Superman stories are reprinted, yes, but none of the other features, like Zatara or Congo Bill. And I'd actually be interested in seeing the period ads inside the book, just out of curiosity.

Hm...I know it's been reprinted a few times in its entirety, I thought it was in an Archive. Let me dig a bit...OK, it was last reprinted in a Millennium edition in 2000.
I've just been reading some old Ragman floppies from the early 90s. One of my favorite things about reading old floppies is checking out the old ads. Also have a load of Iron Man books from the 70s, cool ads.
Does the Millennium also print the ads or just story conent? I would love to flick through the ads from a 1938 comic.

I would sell it, and pay someone to create a line-for-line, halftonedot-for-halftonedot recreation of it, made entirely from the pigments obtained from pulped New 52 comics, and STILL have enough left over for an awesome car and house.

I think it reprints the ads.
Just pulled out my copy to double-check, but no, it does not reprint the ads—only one 1/4-page house ad that ran underneath the last page of a story.

Comments like this make people come back to these forums over and over again. \m/
Because the DC movies are a no fun zone. Now shut up and watch the cities being destroyed and LIKE IT! Oh, you like football? HERE'S FOOTBALL PLAYERS BEING KILLED IN AN EARTHQUAKE! Now shut up or we kill MORE people you might like!

Agreed. For me it would be like owning a Ferrari and not having a garage to store it in.
