I watched these (2) books on HA for a month. I thought I might have a chance at one of them based on a previous sale but yikes. They went fast and they went big. Just fantastic copies. It will be interesting to see if they ever come back to auction.
This journal is nothing but my own adventure in what books I absolutely want to own. My way of tracking images I find and keeping a record.
I found this on Heritage. It is a book I would really like to own someday. I have a nice 9.6 but it does not have a very nice cover wrap. But I can dream about this one.
I am a rather devoted Neal Adams collector, but I have a fondness for Peanuts books as well. My earliest recollection is from when I started to get back into comic books in 1994. I was at a convention in Detroit, the first one I had ever attended. And there, I found a dealer selling a raw copy of this issue. I instantly had to have it and it started my journey back into comic books. I later went on to have it graded and it came back a CGC 9.4. When I sold my first collection, I sold it as well.
Here is another book that I consider to be Neal's finest work. His run of "wordless" horror covers is just incredible. This is the masterpiece. The saddest part of this drool session is that I used to own a 9.6 copy. I would be happy to buy it back.
