Locke & Key Audio Play Review

Howdy everybody and thanks for checking in on a VERY long overdue update to Collect the UNcollected.  At this point, you're probably better off following me on TWITTER and my new INSTAGRAM for quick little thoughts and updates.

Today I'm going to review the Locke & Key audio play from Audible.com

It WAS free until November 5th but I will tell you now, as a HUGE fan of the comic series already, this is worth every penny.

The DECLINE of Selling Autographed Comic Books

Howdy everyone and thanks for checking in for another edition of Collect the UNcollected.  I hope everyone enjoyed the NYCC update and the con itself if you went.

I learned a lot this year and one thing I'm going to touch on tonight is something that has been building up over the years.

If you follow any comic book creators on Twitter, it's more than likely you have read a tweet from them where they bring up the subject of noticing an autographed comic of theirs on eBay.  It's big time frowned upon.  Comic book creators never like to see someone flip their work for a profit.  They want people to enjoy their work for what it is, not to try and make a quick buck.

Locke & Key

Now some of you may know about Locke & Key, some of you may not.  Locke & Key is, no bullshit, the most amazing comic I've ever read.  It's written by Joe Hill who happens to be Steven King's son.  The artwork is amazing, its a phenomenal comic book.  Above is my copy of the 1st Printing of issue #1.  Bought it for $40 off eBay.
You can still pick up a copy for around that price.  Word is not completely out yet on this gem.  I heard about it from the boys at www.comicbookclublive.com  (Check them out, great podcast every week, even had Joe Hill on the show once which you can listen to HERE).
STAY AWAY from the Dynamic Forces Variant.  Not worth as much.  I'm not positive about how many copies were made, maybe 2,000.  Wikipedia says that it went to a 2nd printing but I've never seen one.
