My History of Comic Collecting - By Set Type - Part V

ASM #301-#400 SET DESCRIPTION:   Ah...AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #301 to #400...       ...What can I say about this collection of comics...       ...From the first appearance of Venom to the start of the clone saga...       I went from loving Amazing Spider-Man and really hitting a high in my comic collecting, to hating everything about Marvel and not collecting comics anymore - Which at one point looked like it might have been forever...       Things started out well enough

My History of Comic Collecting - By Set Type - Part VI

ASM - volume 2 This will be my last entry for this series of journals. To start this off, I should explain that from late 1991 to late 2001 I did not collect comics of any kind. The terrible quality (and quantity) of what Marvel was pumping out in the early 90s destroyed my desire to read anything they made. The comics I had were in storage and forgotten, never to be looked at again. Needless to say, I was in a very bad place in regards to comics and comic collecting, and as far as I wa

My History of Comic Collecting - By Set Type - Part IV

ASM #201-#300 SET DESCRIPTION:   These are the issues where my love affair with Spider-Man comics first began and to this day the Roger Stern/John Romita Jr. run of ASM is my favorite and most memorable.       The first new issue I ever bought was a copy of #227 right off the newsstand. The beginning of the love affair between the Black Cat and Spider-Man that would span the next few decades started right here. It was not until years later that I got the first part of this 2-issue arc,

My History of Comic Collecting - By Set Type - Part III

ASM #101-#200 SET DESCRIPTION:   When I started collecting comics, I was years 9 old and the year was 1982. Back issues were still affordable, so when I went to my local comic store to buy new issues, I would also pick up a copy or two of something in the 100s.       The first issue I picked up from this set was #136 - I read this before I even knew that Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin or how he had died - So, to this day, I still consider Harry Osborn to be the real Green Goblin.

My History of Comic Collecting - By Set Type - Part II

ASM #1-#100 Here is the next one - My AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1-#100 set:   SET DESCRIPTION It was tough, but worth it! I finally have a set that I can be proud of...The complete run of Amazing Spider-Man #1-#100 + ASM annuals from the same time period (Hey, why is AF #15 in there?). I had already obtained the full run about a year ago, but was unhappy with some of my grades -- Like the 5.5 on my #93, or the 6.5 on my #69 -- So, I scoured the comic shop bins until I found better versions

My History of Comic Collecting - By Set Type - Part I

ASM #1-#25 My set descriptions as Journal entries       Hi...I've decided to jump on the "A journal a day" bandwagon...but only for a few days.       I'm going to be posting some of my set descriptions that I think are worth sharing with you guys. And I would love to hear any of your collecting experiences as it pertains to what I am writing about.       I'm going to start off with my AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1-#25 set description. Though these were not the first comics that I coll

I would definitely do it again!

A few things relating to my WW Chicago 2014 experience... Hi there,       I thought I would share my experience from the Wizard World Fan Expo that was held in Chicago this year.       First off, I should explain that I have been a Spider-Man fan since I started collecting Amazing Spider-Man comics (way) back in 1982. The very first comic that I ever bought off the newsstand was ASM #227 and I was pretty much hooked from the first page (actually I think it may have been the cover).
