I didn't live here at the time Ron. They film a lot around here though. Calendar Girls was also done just down the road, as was All Creatures Great and Small.

Cool,
The other film released at the same time, also about Hood- 'Robin Hood' (the one with Uma Thurman) was filmed near my home town, I worked on it for 3 months, doing sword fighting, had to wear several different outfits, but the only time you see my face, was sadly during a non violent scene!
Highlight of the shoot, was talking to an effects guy about other films he had worked on, and he pulls a tshirt from his bag and says 'I worked on this aswell' as he unfurled a 'Revenge of the Jedi' shirt! :mrgreen:
I used to collect comics in the 90's and had quite a large collection at one point of issues of titles including Amazing Spiderman, DareDevil, Ghost Rider, Iron Man & X-Men etc...
Quite a large portion of my collection was sold off about 10 years ago to fund other purchases but I held onto about 1000 comics and still have them now.
Recently a guy over at RS asked me if I would be interested in selling them, so I got a few boxes out of the attic and took him a few pics with a view of selling them. His offer wasn't great and I now feel fairly apprehensive about selling them with the state of the economy etc.
Here are a few pics of what I still have in my collection:-
Should I keep them or take what I'm offered?

Totally agree with you Bollox, The Amazing Spiderman 50 cover "Spiderman no more" has to be one of the greatest comic covers of all time and its a key issue with the 1st appearance of the Kingpin.
Check out this review:-

Im not a comic collector by any stretch of the imagination but i love a good comic cover so i have this "Spiderman no more" in a frame by the front door,
its the first thing you see when you walk into the gaff. That and Frank Millers Batman year 1 issue 1, another great cover and story to boot :wink:
Near mint in comic valuation terms means ridiculously pristine, anything less and you can knock 50 %off that estimate.
