Comic Citizen

First GI Joe I've bought in about 5 years. But when you have wifi, things happen sometimes.

I definitely did okay, but there were some kids on the street that had a LOT of toys. I never crossed the Millennium Falcon barrier, let alone the At-At, haha.

I remember a kid on the street had one. I was always more into figures, but I wanted one of these too…

Very cool. Got that in November. Still waiting to crack it....

First Supermobile!

Ha! I think that’s the brash and youthful Cage with pockets full and being a touch classist.

Sweet, Christmas in February!

Thanks! I haven’t had many Fear Man-Things the last few years and have never seen this one anywhere, I don’t think.

It’s pretty nice! I still love seeing this era in high grade. Never gets old.

Another nice picture frame to add to the pile as I increasingly lurch towards the anonymous comic consignor of leisure lifestyle I’ve been waiting for my whole life.

Thanks! They even had some Marvel Harvey books from the same era. I think I've seen those even less over the years, but they were about VG+ so I passed.

Thanks! It’s in the rarer corner of the bronze age for sure, especially in high grade.

Found all three of the Calvin books last summer and thought 2 of the 3 had a shot at 9.8. So far, so good.

Sorry, missed that. But yes, I remember reading interviews decades ago with people saying that he really pushed to expand the range of colours they were using.

I think it was probably just the editorial trends of the time. Some didn’t have it, like 116. I managed to get a small handful of the Tomahawk covers (although not 116), hopefully in and around this same grade.

Thanks so much. Very pleased for sure.

Ha! Yeah, not many at all. I just can’t imagine how much this would have stood out on the stands back then. I think he had a lot to do with expanded their range of colouring too.

Was on a Neal Adams kick last year and the results of the bin diving are starting to roll in.

Sorry, that's a drag. This was about $50 which isn't cheap, but the potential in this condition is really high. But what I love is that at ($70 CDN) books like this sit forever when people don't know what they are.

That’s awesome.

Thanks! Yeah, my eyes popped out. I’ve very quickly become a believer in looking for comics at card/toy/horror shows.

Picked up this gorgeeeeous copy from a card show of all places. Always check the little box of comics on the end of the big card show table, kids. You just never know...

Yeah, pound for pound, PS has to have one of the best runs of covers since the golden age.

Yeah, really gorgeous in hand.

Thanks!

It checks a lot of boxes, haha. And surprisingly pretty tough in high grade (to date, that can change)

Have chased this one many times. Such an awesome cover.

Beauty! Still have never made its acquaintance…

Here’s an ghastly beauty of a haunted castle on the hill cover in frighteningly high grade.
