NO, I am not into comic books anymore. I haven’t been into comic books for 50 years. But, as a youngster, growing up in Ceylon I loved U.S. comic books. They were hard to come by — which added to the appeal & excitement. Yes, as an adult I go into Tintin (again) & Asterix, but never back into superheroes. Some of my kids caught my enthusiasm for Tintin & Asterix, but apart from that I don’t think any of the four really got caught with super hero comics though I know that they have watched some of the movies.
This movie, on Netflix, sounded vaguely interesting. I watch about an hour of Netflix a day, so I gave it a spin. It was from Spain. Since, it was dubbed into English it takes you a second to realize that it is actually a foreign movie. Fairly well done. Not great, but OK.
I had never heard of this ‘Siegel-Shuster Almanac’. Seems neat. I really have no interest. Just curiosity as to how such a registry could be credibly maintained to reflect accurate ownership.
Yes, of course, I did some cursory Google searches. There is a ‘Siegel & Shuster Society‘ that is focused on creation of Superman. But, I can’t find any reference to a registry of who owns the most valuable of old comics. I am just curious. That is all.
Wanted to share this with you. Maybe you can enlighten us. Thanks.
