The ....ummm is that the 12th Co(s)mic Comic Book Broadcast? : More Gems Yeah Gems.

Yes, more gems were found and will be shared on the Co(s)mic Comic Book Broadcast.  Well they're gems in my eyes, don’t know if they’re worth anything these days but I’m going to share them with you right here.  Here we go:

Classic X-Men # 43, yes this is a reprint of the famous Dark Phoenix Saga.  The cover is by John Byrne. In this issue, Lilandra transports the X-Men to her base so that Phoenix can be killed for her crime of wiping out an entire star system; Xavier explains that the Phoenix Force has been purged from Jean and demands the right to trial by combat when his captors refuse to listen; The X-Men and the Imperial Guard fight on the Blue Area of the Moon to determine Jean’s fate; During the battle, Dark Phoenix manifests herself once again and Jean sacrifices herself rather than let the Phoenix loose on the universe.

Written by Chris Claremont, Pencils by John Byrne and Inks by Terry Austin.  Not forgetting Colors:Glynis Oliver and Letters:Tom Orzechowski.  This issue also featured a backup story called Flights of Angels also written by Chris Claremont. I also like John Byrne's reimagined cover for this issue. 

Condition wise, this book is in okay condition, I’m just very unhappy with that stain on the front cover left after I peeled off the price tags.  The stain is the residue of the glue they used on those darned pesky price tags. 

I love this cover on Captain America #383.  Wow, I loved it.  The cover was gold in color, Ron Lim drew it and Jim Lee Inked it.  Very patriotic. The title is I am Legend. The script is by :Mark Gruenwald, Pencils:Ron Lim, Inks:Danny Bulanadi, Colors:Christie Scheele and Letters:Joe Rosen.
In this issue, Cap is following an old man who has stolen his shield when he takes a trip through time and meets American icons.  

Condition wise, this is a nice copy, sure there were nicks here and there but it’s a nice copy.  Once I get some plastic bags, these gems are going in those bags.  Thanks again for reading, like the broadcast if you…..like.  Thanks, until the next broadcast, you take care my friends.
