What old series are you collecting?

[steeler80]

I posted this a while back in the Classic Comics forum but I thought I'd post here as well. I was wondering if there were any old comic runs people were finishing off.

For me, I'm 3 issues away from a New Teen Titans run of 1-60. I'm also working on The Question and Suicide Squad runs.

[Cam63]

None, unless they come in TPB.

I'm working on a lot of Bronze Age stuff. Contrary to many people's opinions, I do not want the Silver Age back.. I grew up in the Bronze Age.. give me an Icee from 7-11 and an issue of 70's Batman and I'm good to go. :)

Wonder Woman series 1.. missing a lot of issues but I'm working on a 200-final issue run.

Green Lantern series 2.. From 1 to 89 the end of the original run.. they picked up the numbering some years later. I only lack 10 issues now from having them all. Then I'll see who I can mug to afford the 3 Showcase appearances.

DC Who's Who.. only need 5 of em.

I love collecting Bronze age stuff. To me thats anything up to and including the original COIE.

I'd like to start getting.. Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, DC Presents, JLI/JLE/JLA, and build up my Brave and the Bold collection.

Well I finished my "Anything that the CSA are in" collection which if your looking for a fun time that is...er was

I have been getting some of the old 40's Green Hornet stuff when I run across it and the $$ os ok

But man I have been going crazy over Superman action figures thou. I have been getting 1 a week my wife is saying Iam reliving my childhood when my folks couldn't afford stuff or Iam the 40 year old virgin= LOL

[hellokittykat]

I'm continuing my lifelong quest to collect as many of the original Wonder Woman series as I can.
I'm glad that I started a long time ago since a lot of the issues that I've managed to get have become pretty expensive.

[the4thpip]

Some Roy Thomas 80s stuff... Infinity Inc, Young All-Stars, All Star Squadron.

[TheSaltedSuperman]

With my desire to read a coherent Black Panther story I'm going back and collecting all of Priest's run.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

I just wrapped up getting issues #27-66 of Preacher (I already have #1-26 in TPB).

[Yoda]

I've been working on Miracleman. I have all of Gaimen's issues, and most of Moore's. i'm only really looking for 13,14,15 at something resembling reasonable prices. I don't want to read Gaimen's issues until i finish the Moore ones so it's kind of aggrevating.

Other than that I'm trying to build a complete run of the Incredible Hulk Vol. 2. It's nearly a 400 issue run and i'd say i'm close to halfway done, with the bulk of my issues being in the 200-400 range. I actually just found a new store northwest of Boston that has a great selection of the 100's reasonable priced.

While not really old, I recently discovered and liked the Hourman series that Peyer and Rags Morales (his arts improved leaps and bounds since then) did a while back. I have about half of the 25 issues.

Me too, actually. Small world. Good to see there are more people seeking it out.

[David Bedlam]

I'm going through the classic New Mutants and Uncanny X-Men in the period betwen Essential Vol. V left of and the Muir Island Saga.

I've got about 75% of the N.M. and picked up a huge stack of outback era and around then today, for fifty pence each.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Once summer starts I plan to persue back issues of Powerman & Iron fist as well as lockin up more LSH fun from the 60's thru today lol.

My "Back Issue Hunt " thread at the community board is where I place my finds.


The biggest find for me was when I landed the Brave & the Bold #200 and the " Batman & the Outsiders " issues 1 & 2 in great condition !

[cactusmaac]

I'm buying Grimjack in trade and am debating whether or not to get all the Suicide Squad single issues or wait for a Showcase type volume.

[The Humanist Hero]

None, unless they come in TPB.
Ditto!

I'm actually collect a lot of old series, but all of them in the form of Essentials, or Showcase Presents, or some other reprint collection.

[Paploo the Ewok]

I got almost an entire run of Marvel's Star Wars comic for about 40 cents an issue recently. Huzzah, reading material for a good while :)

40 cents an issue?!?

Man, eBay *has* killed the collector's circuit......or did you get that time machine to finally work? ;) :p

[CURSD BLADE]

Batman since #500 (the first DC comic I bought at age 6). I have almost every iss from #500 to #649 (latest iss) but have a few gaps around the No Man's Land era.

I want to own the whole latest Daredevil series (Marvel Knights). I have most of the 81 issues with a seven or eight issue gap that I will fill soon.

I also have every issue of Superman/Batman, granted its only seen 23 issues released but I am missing a few of the variant covers. I only need the RRP edition of #1 and the Darkseid cover of #13 to complete the series.

[MacQuarrie]

I'm replacing a lot of comics that I don't have anymore, as well as filling in some stuff I never owned: At the moment, it's Captain Carrot, Inferior Five, Pre-Zero Hour Legion.

I have almost every issue of Batman from #399 to #649 with just a few issue gaps around the early 400 issues. But I've got a run nearly complete there.

Uncanny X-Men I have nearly every issue back #224 with just a few issue gaps in there . I plan to start looking for Uncanny issues again this spring/summer as usual.

[jetfire85]

I just finished putting together a "Stars and STRIPE" run at the beginning of the month. I'm semi-collecting "The Ray", but my LCS doesn't have many backissues of anything (though I could probably get the entire run of Robin for about forty bucks in their $.50 bins).

[Samurai]

Not to brag, but I already own a lot of what you guys are looking for!

New Teen Titans, Who's Who, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Suicide Squad, DC Comics Presents, JLE, JLI, Infinity Inc, All-Star Squadron, Young All-Stars... I have complete sets of all of them.

I'm looking for more issues of Brave and the Bold, Green Lantern, and Hawkman (silver age issues for all).

[Azrael52]

Not old stuff, per sey, but I'm reading Gotham Central 1-40, I read 1 when it came out, and I've recently got the rest. I've made it to 27. Also, my wife had me read her X-Files comics since I loved the show. I've read almost all of the series, and I've got a couple of minis left to read.

It's actually a really good series, and you can see Morales' art improve throughout the book. I forget where i picked up on in originally, i think Newsarama had an article on it. But its really good, and the McDaniel covers are great.

[Patient Boy]

Mostly I've been trying to collect a lot of the stuff I missed out the first time around when I started seriously collecting in the mid-90s. None of it is particularly old though. I picked up the entire run of Christopher Priest's Quantum and Woody, now I'm looking to complete the Hitman series, Starman, Young Heroes in Love, etc.

Hmmmm I wonder if its ok to envy someone elses collection ? I know I am now. :p

[Magneto_X]

L.E.G.I.O.N and the older Legion of Super-Heroes runs.

[Ringslinger76]

I'm hoping that DC puts Who's Who in a Showcase Presents like Marvel just did with their Marvel Handbook. Showcase has been great to me... I think next I'm going to start picking up Jonah Hex because I never knew how cool it was until I read the Showcase collection he featured in.. those stories really hold up. Metamorpho on the other hand.. ouch.
