<br />
As you know here at Comic Book Hunters and Gatherers we are big fans of the history an overall importance on Action Comics #1, just read all our past blogs in <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/p/stories-of-action-comics-1.html" target="_blank">Stories of Action Comics #1</a>.<br />
<br />
We haven't posted much recently as our team has been doing some reach into the early history of Action Comics #1. Much has been written in regards to Siegel and Shuster trying to sell their idea and the development of Superman. Not much has been written about the actual original sale of Action Comics #1. Yes we all know it started the superhero comic book genre. We also know it had an initial print run of 202,000 copies. The rest of this blog will contain facts you may not know.<br />
<br />
The publishers, <span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);">Jack Liebowitz and Harry Donenfeld, </span>of Action Comics #1 thought they might have something special on their hands so they printed 20,000 promotional poster to be hung on newsstands, in pharmacies and anywhere else the comic might be sold.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HtxAT0c5SQ4/VTxGGPnsE9I/AAAAAAAAFqw/z3j97Q2qGBo/s1600/15%2B-%2B1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HtxAT0c5SQ4/VTxGGPnsE9I/AAAAAAAAFqw/z3j97Q2qGBo/s1600/15%2B-%2B1" height="320" width="244" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">House Ad for Action Comics #1</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Liebowitz and Donenfeld also pre-arranged for Action Comics #1 to stay on shelfs for six weeks instead of the standard four weeks.<br />
After the issue went on sale the publishers wanted to get a feel for how the issue was selling so rhey provided retailers with a postcard where they could record the sales fifteen days and then again at the end of the month. Although this wasn't the mat accurate way it did give a snap shot of the sales figures and the figures were GOOD!<br />
<br />
Siegel and Shuster, <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Liebowitz and Donenfeld were all right they did have a hit on their hands. Of the 220,000 copies that were printed 130,000 copies had sold, that's 64% of the print run. Anything over 50% was considered both a success and made a profit.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Following the success of Action Comics #1 Liebowitz and Donenfeld wanted to verify what they already knew, that being that people were buying Action Comics to read about Superman. So in issue #4 they put in a short survey asking readers to put their five favorite stories in order. 75% put Superman first (404 of 542) with an additional 11% put him second (59). </span></span><br />

<br />
I have always looked at comic books as not only literature but also as art. The biggest problem I have always had with collecting this art form is how we store them.<br />
<br />
White long or short boxes have always been rather dull and boring. There just plain white, BLAH<br />
<br />
So I decided to take a day and create a custom short box, starting small, to house some of my Flash collection. I decided to make it a Wally West box.<br />
<br />
Here is my quick step by step guide.<br />
<br />
Step 1: get a comic box.<br />
<br />
Step2: pick some comics that you don't feel bad about cutting up. (This was the hardest part, luckily I had some doubles.)<br />
<br />
Step 3 : Buy some Mod Podge, there are so many cool craft related uses for Mod Podge.<br />
<br />
Step 4: Cover one side of the box with Mod Podge and start putting the comic cut outs down. Then move to the next side and repeat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8VSnDuKcsVA/VSOkn1XLzYI/AAAAAAAAFok/yk_Zo1aYivo/s1600/15%2B-%2B3" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8VSnDuKcsVA/VSOkn1XLzYI/AAAAAAAAFok/yk_Zo1aYivo/s1600/15%2B-%2B3" height="320" width="181" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Step 5: once all the comic cut outs are firmly in place go over the entire box again with Mod Podge, let it dry and you are done.<br />
<br />
I also spray painted the lid gold just to add more color.<br />
<br />
You now have your own hand made comic box it beats the boring white one.<br />

<br />
The last two days we have been reporting on all the comic book related toys coming out of Toy Fair in New York City. We have looked at <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/2015/02/toy-fair-news-dc-icons-figures.html" target="_blank">DC Icon Figures</a> and <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/2015/02/guardians-of-galaxy-dorbz-line-at-toy.html" target="_blank">Guardians of the Galaxy Dorbz</a>. I am certain we will be looking at more stuff as the fair continues, including many items from Funko.<br />
<br />
The Funko ReAction line continues to grow reaching into iconic television and movie series. Yesterday Funko revealed their Flash and Arrow TV series figures.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The Arrow line-up will include two different Arrow figures, a Deathstroke, a Black Canary, Diggle, Arrow and a Dark Arrow Merlyn.</span><br />

Yes it is Valentines Day today, so hung the ones you love then start following all the news coming out of Toy Fair 2015.<br />
<br />
The first thing I saw tat caught my eye says that Funko is listening. They are releasing a line of Pop! Vinyl figures based on The Flash Television series. The first two will be The Flash and Captain Cold.<br />
What is so great about this release is it the first time a Rogue will appear as a Pop!Vinyl, yes FINALLY! Hopefully there will be plenty more figures from the show.<br />
<br />
These two are due out in May.<br />
<br />
Hey your wallet might be a little bit lighter but your collection will be that much nicer!<br />
<br />
Good Luck on Your Hunt!<br />

<br />
On the February 4th episode of The Flash episode "Crazy for you" the main villain was Peek-a-boo. It is interesting to see one of the Rogues from Wally Wests time as the Flash and continues our hope that he does appear on the show at some point. Enough about Wally this post is about Peek-a-boo. And if you hunger for more information about the Flash TV series read our <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/p/the-flash-tv-series-character-guide.html" target="_blank">Flash Characters Guide</a><br />
<br />
Created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins, Peek-a-boo made her first appearance in The Flash Vol.2 #180. A copy of this issue can be found for a couple of dollars. If you have not read the Wally West run of the Flash it is highly recommended reading for any Flash TV series fan.<br />
<br />
<b>About Peek-a-boo</b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Lashawn Baez was a graduate student at Central City Medical School. When her father Tomas Baez became ill she stopped her studies to take care of him. First she tried to donate her kidney but instead the operation activated her metagene, thus giving her the ability to teleport. Lashawn decided if she could not donate her kidney she would use her powers to find a matching donor for her father. Her attempted theft of a suitable kidney leads to her battling the Flash and his friend Cyborg. </span><br />

<br />
In one of our recent posts we started our discussion regarding Marvel Comics Netflix series with a look at <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/2015/02/aka-jessica-jones-is-coming-to-netflix.html" target="_blank">A.K.A Jessica Jones</a>. In this post we will look at the shows main villain Purple Man.<br />
<br />
Purple Man will be played by former Doctor Who, David Tennant. Who happens to be one of my favorite actors and we can't wait to see him as a bad guy.<br />
<br />
<b>First Appearance</b><br />
Created by Stan Lee and Joe Orlando, the Purple Man made his first appearance in Daredevil #4, released in October 1964. This early issue of the Man without Fear will cost you about $3,000, CGC 9.0 plus. An ungraded copy will cost you about $100.<br />
Daredevil battles Purple Man on the streets while Matt Murdock battles Zebediah Killgrave in the courtroom.<br />
<br />
<b>About the Purple Man</b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dr. Zebediah Killgrave was born in Yugoslavia. </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Originally a physician, Killgrave turned into a spy where he was sent on a mission</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> to infiltrate a chemical refinery. On this mission, he was accidentally doused with a chemical that turned his hair and skin purple. He soon realized that the nerve gas had also given him the superhuman ability to command the wills of other people. Calling himself the Purple Man, Killgrave embarked on a criminal career.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">At some point during Jessica Jones career as the superhero Jewel, the Purple Man forced her to do some terrible things using his ability to command others.</span><br />

<br />
As you may already be aware Marvel comics is set to debut 5 new comic hero based Netflix series witih the next couple of years. Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, The Defenders and A.K.A. Jessica Jones. All five shows will take place in the same universe, so characters will cross over often. In order to help you navigate through these new shows we here at CBHG will be looking at all the characters in great detail. This will include their first appearance, origin and any other important tidbits. Hopefully you'll read our posts and run out to your local comic shop to buy the first appearance or action figures of these characters.<br />
<br />
We are starting our Marvel Netflix character guide with Jessica Jones.<br />
<br />
<b>First Appearance</b><br />
Jessica Jones was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos. She first appeared in Alias #1 released in November 2001. A high grade CGC copy of this issue will cost you about $250, while an ungraded copy can be found for a couple of dollars. The price is sure to go up.<br />
<br />
<b>About Jessica Jones</b><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jessica Campbell was a Midtown High School student who happened to be at the same science facility when Peter Parker was bitten by the radioactive spider. Jessica had a crush on Parker and was just about to speak to him when the spider bit Parker.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Shortly after this incident Jessica's family was killed in an automobile accident when their car collided with a military convoy carrying radioactive chemicals. Jessica was he only one to survive.</span><br />

<div style="background-image: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jessica later discovered that her radiation exposure granted her super strength, limited invulnerability, and flight (which she never fully mastered during her superhero career as Jewel).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jones tried being a superhero for some time, duri this time she had relationships with both Ant-Man, Scott Lang and Luke Cage, who she would later marry. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Finally Jones decided to give up the superhero life and became a private investigator. She has also worked for the Daily Bugle.</span><br />

<br />
If I wanted to I believe I could dedicate an entire blog to the ever expanding Flash TV universe. So many characters have been introduced in this first season that it is taking me some time just to keep up. Case in point, The Mist who appeared earlier this season on the episode "Things You Can't Outrun." You can view all the other characters in our<a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/p/the-flash-tv-series-character-guide.html" target="_blank">Flash Character Guide</a>.<br />
<br />
Created by Gardner Fox and James Robinson, the Mist made his first apperance in Adventure Comics #67 where he battled Starman in the story "The menace of the invisible raiders." This issue which is rare sells for around $3500.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>About the Mist</b><br />
The orinal Mist's name was Kyle Nimbus. He was a Canadian Army Captain who fought in World War 1. Nimbus was also a scientist. He created a device that turned his body into a gaseous form. He became a supervillain, a fought both the Golden Age Sandman and the Golden Age Starman. He also battled the modern day Starman. The Mist had two children, Nash and Kyle.<br />

Portrayed by Anthony Carrigan, Kyle Nimbus/The Mist was a mob hit-man, who was charged with murder and placed on death row. As he was being executed via the gas chamber the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, giving him his elemental abilities. He then goes on a killing spree to exact revenge on those that put him in prison, the last attempt was on Joe West, his arresting officer. The Flash defeats The Mist after keeping him in his gas state for an overextended amount of time, weakening him to the point of unconsciousness. The Mist is then locked away in thr metahuman prison.<br />

<br />
First it just so happens that the Royal Flush Gang is one of my favorite villian teams. Second before appearing in The Flash episode "The Sound and the Fury" the gang appeared on an episode of Arrow <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">episode "Legacies". Although the Flash appearance was a short one it was good to see them wrap up the loss end from Arrow.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Created in 1966 by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky, the Royal Flush Gang is made up of Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten. They made there first appearance in Justice League of America #43. A high graded CGC will run you about $400, while an ungraded copy will cost you about $20. </span><br />
<br />

<b>First Appearance</b><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The original Royal Flush Gang was Professor Amos Fortune's childhood gang, with Fortune himself as Ace. Each member of the gang fights a different member of the Justice League, using Fortune's luck-altering "stellaration" technology to defeat them. The Royal Flush gang is finally defeated by JLA mascot Snapper Carr dressed as the Joker.</span><br />

If you have been looking for an Ant-Man vinyl figure and can't figure out why Funko hasn't announced one yet, you are in luck. Late last year Disney released a vinylmation version of both of Ant-Man.<br />
If you don't know what a Disney Vinlymation figure is the are similar to Pop! vinyl figures except the are shorter and have Mickey Mouse ears at the top. They have been around since 2008, all major Disney related characters have been recreated in vinylmation, including many Marvel characters.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">At the end of 2014 Marvel Vinylmation released two Ant-Man versions, one of original Ant-Man Henry Pym and a variant Scott Lang version. </span><br />
<br />
These figures were limited to 2500 and could be found at D-Street in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. This figures were designed by Thomas Scott and are priced at $16.95.<br />

The Flash television series continues to introduce the Rogues, in this weeks episode the Flash with battle the Pied Piper. I have a feeling season 2 of the series will see all the Rogues join forces. You can read all about the other Rogues in our <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/p/the-flash-tv-series-character-guide.html" target="_blank">Flash Characters Guide</a><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Created in 1963 by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, The Pied Piper made his first appearance in The Flash #106. This issue is can be found in a CGC high grade for around $5,000. Lower ungraded for about $300. This issue also features the first appearance of Gorilla Grodd and Solivar.</span><br />
<br />
<b>First Appearance</b><br />
The Pied Piper made his first apperance in The Flash #106 in a story titled " The Pied Piper of Peril". <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span> Throughout Central City a number unsolved crimes occur.<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Finally the Pied Piper reveals himself and challenges the Flash</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When the Flash arrives at one of the crime scenes, he finds Piper. Piper creates a vibratory aura with his flute, freezing the Flash in his tracks. Piper exclaims they have thirty minutes before the Flash will be released as they take off with stolen goods. The Flash vibrates his body and frees himself moments later. Flash catches up with Piper and takes him to jail</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">.</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span><br />

Back in August I wrote also about one of DC's strangest villains <a href="http://comicbookhunter.blogspot.com/2014/08/rainbow-raider-dc-comics-most-colorful.html" target="_blank">Rainbow Raider</a>, in it I wrote how I hoped that the character would appear on the Flash TV series. Well my wish came through, <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Roy G. Bivolo did appear on the show even if they didn't call him the Rainbow Raider, I'll take it as a win.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Here is a recap about who the Rainbow Raider is and why he should be a full fledged Rogue.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Created in 1957 by Cary Bates and Don Heck, Rainbow Raider made his first appearance in The Flash #286. This issue is can be found for about $5. It is worth a look.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>First Appearance</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Roy G. Bivolo</span> was a wonderful painter from an early age but he was also color-blind. His father could not except this for his son, so the famous optometrist created a device that would allow his son to see in full color. Upon the death of his father the device was given to Roy but it did not correct his color-blindness. These vision goggles did do was some other things like project beams of light that could become solid objects, make him invisible, blind his opponents, or affect the emotions of his opponents. Roy could no longer follow his career as an artist so he chose a life of crime instead. He became the Rainbow Raider and joined Flash's Rogues Gallery.</span><br />
