What Classic Comics Have You Purchased Lately? Pt. 2

[ShQQta]

I have the opportunity to purchase a copy of the Monster Society of Evil in high grade for about US $80. Worthwhile? I'm dragging my feet a little - anyone out there read it or maybe the Capt Marvel stuff it reprints? I have read almost no GA Capt Marvel. Is a child of the 80's likely to enjoy it?

[zryson]

I think if you like Capt Marvel a person would enjoy it. I bought a HC Captain Marvel book recently and it only featured Golden Age stuff and I thought it was interesting (having already looked through the book several times.)

So I went to the Flea Market recently and at the place the guy had some goooood stuff. I got some nice stuff listed here....


Black Magic #2

Conan the Savage #7 (need only #9 to complete the run)

Creepy #52 , #53 , #56 and #57

Famous Monsters of Filmland #99

Ghostly Tales #111 (Charlton Comics)

Mad Magazine #221

House of Mystery #205

Mad Super Special #14 , #18

Unexpected #188 , #200 , #215 , #216 , and #219


Vampirella #18 (Warren Magazine)

Nice pickups with the Warren mags. I've been keeping my eye out for some but with little luck lately. I did just get two issues of The Spirit though

Another bulk Bronze Age purchase, this time with just a little Silver Age mixed in. I bought these 34 Action and Superman issues:

Superman: 206, 231, 237, 244, 253, 257, 270, 274, 300, 313, 335, 355, 360, 361, 400, 422
Action: 293, 341, 367, 392, 403, 404, 406, 408, 410, 413, 414, 422, 428, 429, 430, 445, 483, 486

For $40 (shipping included), or $1.18 each. I'm pretty happy with this, particularly with the Action issues. The guy was selling much larger lots of both titles, but he agreed to break out just the issues I needed so I wouldn't be wasting money on more doubles.

Got back on the Spidey train...these were listed as Good but I think the 89 and 68 might fare a little better. 74 looks to have some decent spine wear and split but they were all listed as complete. Plus for about $6.75 each (shipping included), I think I made out okay.

Just ordered Special Edition Series 1: Captain Marvel, stories from Whiz Comics #7-28, 320 pages, the seller claims the condition as "like new." I paid $35 + shipping. I suspect these are black-and-white volumes, like Essentials or Showcase Presents, but for double the price.

Is this the version from '74 or so? These were basically fan-produced books, and this was before computer scanning or even Theakstonizing, so not sure of the quality.

Couldn't help it. Had to have it. It's another LB Cole paperback cover:

Read the back cover:

I see that guy surreptitiously hooking her dress off with his thumb. Sly dog.

[pmpknface]

Yeah, I'm loving these things. Some are older than his comic covers. I think I've tracked down 2-3 more of them but they are a bit more than I want to spend. We'll see...

[dupont2005]

I haven't been buying back issues much lately. Just got these though

[AZBarbarian]

I am currently working on the Moore Swamp thing run. I am nearly finished with it. Can't believe I haven't read it yet.

Wow, so am I. I had the entire run but it was swiped from my home by my sons friends I suspect. Buying them back has cost over 50-60 bucks so far but #37 is the pricey one. (First appearance of Constantine).
