Or Addicted to Signatures

One of my favorite story lines as a teen was "Days of Future Past" it was the first story line I collected after reading the Dark Phoenix saga trade. It was a few more years before I completed that story line, but the two issue "Days"story was a lot cheaper to collect, not just by price, but quantity.

The story line stayed in my head so predominantly that when Claremont did another story line along those lines in issues #47 and #48 with the New Mutants I was engrossed by not only reading them multiple times, but also read them on a clean kitchen table. I think those two books were the first time I ever read a comic book with precise care. In other words no Lucky Charms, pizza, or ice cream.

The 9.2 #142 was the one I purchased as a teen, the 9.6 #141 was won in an auction and I hope to add Chris Claremont's scrawl across the covers. As much as I love single signatures, I love doubles and I think triples. I would love one day to win a book signed by all those involved, an improbable feat, but nonetheless I would like to conquer. As for some of the other books I plan in bringing??? Some Sandman, a Green Arrow, a few more X-Men, and Marvels (all four issues) and for the Coup De Grace Wolverine 1-4.

What would you bring?

Thanks for Reading
