What Classic Comics Have You Purchased Lately? Pt. 2

**Richard Bishop** · 01-05-2013, 08:58 AM

Just picked these up on Thursday. Thanks to a gift certificate for a LCS from my nephew for Christmas, I got each for approximately $6. This moves me to within 15 issues left to have the entire Marvel run of Captain America.

I also picked up a copy of Force Works #16 to finish out that series, but that is not as picture-worthy as these

It would be if the picture was you setting it on fire.

Those Caps are great, though. Cool story, Avengers crossover, Gene Colan art. What's not to love? I was lucky enough to meet Gene and had him sign my #116 a number of years ago. Very cool pickups there.

I'm super jealous you got to meet him. Both he and Marv Wolfman were supposed to be at the Pittsburgh Comic-Con a couple of years ago (2010 or 2011, IIRC), but both had to cancel for various reasons; if it was 2011, it would have been just a couple of months before Gene passed away. I was planning on getting both of them to sign my copies of Tomb of Dracula #1 and #10, but it just wasn't to be.

RBishop nice purchases!

I just noticed this thread has over 5,000 replies....I'm sure a Volume 3 will be started soon.

Just snagged these off of ebay for $20. The Star Wars was an impulse buy, don't know too much about it. The Arkham Asylum is a 1st print hardcover so I think it is a good deal. Also looking to win 27 Batman issues from the same seller, if I do pictures will follow :)

Nice books guys. Those Caps are great. I'm glad I got to meet Gene Colan when I did too. *sniff, sniff*

It's been a while since I grabbed any LB Cole books, so I picked up this one last night:

No that's not a Cole cover, but he did interiors! Plus that is a killer cover. I also always liked MANHUNT #4 and hope to get one of them someday. I already have a #7.

I also grabbed this one off the CGC boards:

Nice headlights. ;) It was an elusive one for me that I needed to fill in a hole in the BB run.

Very nice. Are those guys on the cover of Manhunt fighting in a zeppelin?

Yesterday I came home with Night Force issues 3 and 13 as well as The New Teen Titans 21 (for the Night Force preview) naturally.

I think so! I'll have a better idea after I get the book in. I also love how not only is the girl fighting to not hand to death, but either she's in a tube top or how else it looks is that she only has a skirt on. HA! Here is an image of the #4 that I'd love to have someday:

And he's a (not my) #7:
