AKA... My Soul Gem: Redux

It finally arrived!... Marvel Premiere #2. This is a holdover from 2012. I actually purchased it from the ComicConnect auction site back on December 20th. Although not a key, I couldn't resist the purchase based on its high grade and certification from a pedigree collection: Suscha News.

This little gem takes its rightful place among my proud collection of keys I am currently building on Adam Warlock. To date, I now own:

1. Fantastic Four 66 (Origin of Him),

2. Fantastic Four 67 (1st Appearance of Him)

3. Marvel Premiere 1 (1st Appearance as Adam Warlock, 1st Appearance of Costume, 1st Appearance of Soul Gem, 1st Appearance of Counter-Earth/Earth 616)

4. Marvel Premiere 2

5. Warlock 10 (Origin of Thanos and Gamora, 1st Appearance of In-Betweener).

As I mentioned in my previous journal post, "Keys to the Kingdom!"... 2013 will see me searching out for two specific Adam Warlock keys to complete this collection. However, I have decided to revise this key search to include two additional keys that have caught my attention, which now means I will be looking to obtain a total of four (4) keys:

*1st Key: Thor Volume 1, No. 165: "Him's" first full appearance as he battles Thor for the hand of Lady Sif.

*2nd Key: Warlock (The Power of...) Volume 1, No. 1: Finally! Warlock gets his own magazine! This inaugural issue is a continuation of the storyline from Marvel Premiere 1 and 2.

*3rd Key: Strange Tales No. 178: The first appearance of the Magus... Warlock's evil future self and founder of the Universal Church of Truth.

*4th Key: Warlock No. 9: The origin of the Magus.

The late Gil Kane was a master! He's one of my favorite artists. His cover to Marvel Premiere 2 is dripping with dynamic action ala 70's Marvel... check it out!

Happy New Year and Happy Collecting!
