Dude I really feel for you to be honest.

After reading through all of your life ventures and choices. I  really feel that at the core of your situation that your parents had failed you.

Failed as in teaching you how to be a good person, responsible, hard working, but most importantly to teach you right from wrong, and humility. 

Your road through life is going to be paved with some big potholes if you don't man up and take responsibility for your actions.

I am very sorry for you.

Nice to see the fire burns as bright as ever. Lots of nice mags out there. 

You know it my man!

Once again Bryan also known as DeadOne finds me just a sweet copy of Eerie 17. You horror magazine guys  need to know that Bryan is such a great guy to deal with , just amazing really.

Where's Hulk 180? I would defer to the other side of the fence at DC, and put Hos 92, GL 76, and possibly Batman 232 in that list.

Is Cat 1, Night Nurse 1 ,and Hulk 141 even in the same category as the rest of these keys?

The UK copies are cool Oak. Can't beat a UK copy. 

Thanks my man. They are rarer than hens teeth for sure, and high grade like these? Forget about it.

Thank you Oakman. You collection is just awesome! How long did you take to complete the creepy run? Only high grades?

In my case, Just grabbing some Creepy and Eerie high grades, especially the first ones from the Archie Goodwin era for now.

How long did it take? I actually had to look that one up here on the boards.

It has taken from 2012 to this year, so 6 years. Yeah it took me awhile because I have tried to find some of the best grades that I could find. I first tried to get the hardest books first , then work on the the rest of the run.

Your collection is very impressive I must say.

That's a beautiful book. Congrat!

You have quite a few nice books yourself. Are you trying to complete Warren runs, or just grabbing ones you like? 

Randall Dowlings sales thread garnered this book. Another  piece to my Eerie puzzle.

What an amazing group of books.

AWWWWW! Did you say bugs just for me?

Enjoy the ride and good luck Oakman and don't forget we'll all be in your back seat watching! So if ever you're stopped by the cops you can answer this question honestly "Who are all those clowns in the back seat?"  

That's sigline worthy.

That's a really nice cover, tell me this will the Eerie run be easier to complete than the Creepy set or are there a few hard to get in high grade?  Good luck on your quest.

Also they both Eerie and Creepy have their challenges.

I'm trying for all the harder to get books first, so the first 10 then 17 and 23 are next.

Picked up a nice Eerie #4.

A killer Gray Morrow cover.

How can you go wrong.

Dwayne have you looked up this book in the census? How many total in any grade are there? I can tell you a graded  one has never come across Heritage Auctions ever.

Here is the sweet book I got from @thirdgreenham for winning the contest this year. Isn't she beautiful, thanks Andy 

I would be so damn jealous if I didnt own a pristine run of my own. 

Naw, Im deflecting my jealous rage.

There are so few of these in high grade, good grab from Andy.

Thanks guys, couldnt have done it without all you helping me complete this.

so kudos to you guys for making this happen. Brian, Dwayne, boumty, makmorn,ThothAmon, Wombat, Jayman, and Wolverine180. Just so you know I appreciate you guys. 

Now its time to get every one of them slabbed, so I can get one of those fancy awards!

Great collection, Dave! If I may call you Dave, that is.  

Congratulations on completing an amazing run.

Of course. all my friends call me Dave.

Here it is, the final piece to this puzzle. The last book for a complete run of Creepy in high grade.

#143

I added numbers 142 and 145, with only 143 left for a complete full run.
