RE: Back to the Chess Trenches - The Road to 1,500 ELO rating
It's always a problem to bounce back after such a losing streak, I've heard of people quitting chess after losing so many ELO points! It's great that you didn't quit but are actually trying to recover

RE: The Necroscope saga
Right there, made in Glasgow it is the UK version, first print, 1989. Still in the first book but man, I love how he writes and how the story is developing. I don't have much time to read at the moment

RE: Speaking of those Eurovariant comics...!
Yeah, let's see it, @blewitt! The first Mexican edition is from La Prensa, 1963, and so expensive as to be prohibitive due to our economy!

RE: When you find a Golden Nugget!
Thanks, Blewitt! Not my cup of tea, since apart from having (now) an online store, I'm also a collector, but of SF/Horror 50s comics. But the item is very well received!

RE: A new trend in Comic Book Collecting!
The end product was a comic of 32 pages with the same paper, very heavy and garishly colored!

RE: A new trend in Comic Book Collecting!
Usually, the quality depended on the economy of the country at the time. Here in Mexico, in 1973, there was an enormous scarcity of regular (cheap paper) and Editorial Novaro decided to print their editions

The plan was to watch every movie, one per week, until Infinity War, wasn't it? You have a month to watch more than a dozen!

RE: Star Wars The Last Jedi: La 9na pelicula de la saga pero la primera que no merece lugar en la cronologia
Para las generaciones nuevas, podría ser una buena película de la saga... tan es así, que las opiniones están MUY divididas. Pero eso no le quita que hay un 50% de disgusto generalizado...

RE: Providence, by ALAN MOORE. A review by a comic lover
Well, yes... Unfortunately, comic books are not cheap nowadays. These issues have a cover price of 4.00, and being a 12-issue maxi series... Some of them command an 8 dollar tag in the secondary market.
