It is in full color. This issue reprints both Conan #23 and #24 in their entirety. There's also a random Lee/Ditko pre-Hero monster story in the back.

This series apparently was weekly, with each...

Reading through a giant pile of Jughead vol. 2 issues and they are much more interesting and weird than you might think if you haven't read the relaunched Jughead. They canceled the original series...

I would stretch this out only just a tiny bit to Mutant Massacre, which was a little less than a year later. That's when basically all the cool characters were written out of the book so they could...

This is currently en route from ebay. I still need the American version, but for $7.50 i couldn't pass up the classic cover:

The one thing to keep in mind is that a lot of dealers don't bring all of their stock to shows. The cheaper the books are, the less likely they are to bring them in some cases. it's just a matter of...

I don't use long boxes. I much prefer short drawerboxes. They are so much easier to store and easier to get comics out of and they look a heck of a lot better as well. And they are sturdier.

They...

I love the first 75 issues of Fables. For me personally, it kind of tails off after that. I dropped the book with #126 and sold off everything after #75. But that's just my feeling, you may enjoy the...

I just picked up a cheap lot of random comics from ebay. 14 comics for $5 shipped. I bought it because there are four Archies I wanted, but the rest of the lot.. oy. There is a Hawkman Special form...

Very nice, pmpknface ^^

I actually own two comics from this month. Now we're cooking!

Sgt. Fury #2
Superman #162

Very important month for Superman - the first appearance of Brainiac in Action #242 came out. Marking for some people the start of the Silver Age for Superman. Worth noting that Superman #122 came...

I don't have it in hand yet, it's in the mail to me. But GCD claims that long time Jughead artist Samm Schwartz drew it. It certainly looks like he drew the Jughead figure, but as for the rest......

I love reading through old Archies and seeing the creators adapt the characters to their current time period. Sometimes the results are cool but usually they're just hilarious, particularly in...

On a bit of an Archie spree at the moment. You can really rack up some bills collecting Archie, it's very deceptive. The issues are so cheap you always feel like you're getting a deal, except there...

Yup. Which is why Champions failed so hard. There was no concept at all other than "we want to do another team book," which is almost verbatim the explanation I have heard from the parties involved...

One more note on this: The other major thing that has changed in the past year are the sales figures from DC and Marvel. DC, of course, was already up some when I posted my original thoughts, due to...

As a couple of us were discussing over in the What Have You Bought thread, it might be time to revisit my original post in this thread, because things have significantly changed since I posted it...

Ruby would return over 20 years later during the Simonson run and her children would become fairly important supporting characters for quite a while.

The Simonson run as a whole is both...

Just saying they interest you reveals that you've never read any of them.





My favorite series of all time. Get them all!

Oh, that was me. But the sales figures I was talking about were for the digests. It seems as though in recent years, Archie has been using the digest format the same way other companies have been...

Just treated myself to a birthday present in the form of a giant order from My Comics Shop. The main haul is all the remaining Superman family books I need to have everything from 1971 through 1986....

Just got in the lot of random back issues I bought last week. I also received from another seller this silver age classic:

One thing I will say about the Mantlo run is that I appreciate his willingness to take risks.

As a kid, of course, I hated the Mantlo run on Alpha Flight even though I was such a marvel Zombie...

I am certainly finding the various responses interesting, which is why I asked the question. What's most interesting to me is that I had thought I might just have missed something with these...

This is why it's always nice to get other opinions. For me, Blood and Thunder is one of my least favorite Thor arcs ever. It's marginally better than the absolute garbage that followed it, but this...
