Here's another recent eBay purchase.

AC360.jpg.caf4ce702cdd70d2a8b8b58e42086b3d.jpg

Action Comics #360 from April 1968.

This was the last of the 80 pg. Giant's that I needed for the Action/Superman collection, so I was very pleased to find a nice presenting, mid-high grade copy for a reasonable price.  This one cost me under $20 with shipping, so I call that a win.  

There's nothing better than knocking off one of your mini-goals!  I still have quite a few of the 80-pagers that I need to upgrade into 7.0 or above territory, but those are going to come as the deals present themselves.  As a run collector, I'm content to let the upgrades find me, as I focus most of my attention on the new issues.

In celebration, let's play the exciting game on the cover!  I just happen to have a six sided die here, so let's give it a roll...

...and it's a 6...

That lands me on "Enter Malvern. Go ahead 1".

All right, so that puts me on "Supergirl Regains Her Powers.  Go ahead 2"

Moving forward 2 puts me on "Supergirl's Immune to Kryptonite.  Go ahead 3"

Man, I am on fire.  Moving ahead 3 puts me into a fight with "The Infinite Monster.  Go back 2"

Oh, no...moving back 2 spaces puts me into quite the dilemma for the politically incorrect world of the mid 60's..."Linda Becomes Fat.  Lose 1 turn"

There's no one else playing, so I guess I'll just have to take a moment to think about my life choices that led me to this rotund state.  With that out of the way, let's roll those dice again...

...and it's a 4...

That put's me on "Jerro the Merboy.  Go ahead 2"

And moving 2 spaces forward puts on the FINISH line, I win!  Yea me!

That's quite an action packed game, as I essentially took 7 turns and lost a turn with only 2 rolls of the dice.  How this book made it out of the 60's without an excessive amount of cover wear from all of the dice and token marks on the cover put there during the hours of endless entertainment is a true mystery for the ages!
