I'd rather pull my eyes out than watch The Spirit again.

Wow, I loved age of ultron. More than the 1st avengers.

It has nothing to do with DC VS Marvel movies in general. Man of Steel was a great movie. WB dropped the ball after that for my taste anyways. To my surprise I am very excited after seeing the new Batman trailer, I was worried about the Robert Pattinson casting but after seeing the trailer I hope I am wrong!

Original stickers, or what's left of them, and copies.

It's a classic.

Cool books Andrew!

One of these days I'll find a set of the early issues with the free inserts intact. I used to think finding the Captain Britain #1 with the mask was difficult, these inserts are on a whole different level of difficult.

I'm in the US also.
I would pick up the occasional UK imprint every now and then and became interested in completing a set of Mighty World of Marvel. Prices from the US retailers was going to cost me an arm and leg so I started watching the Ebay UK site. After winning a handful of auctions for cheap, I realized that the shipping was going to eat me up. So then I started ordering large bulk lots from the UK. I've completed my Mighty World of Marvel set and started focusing on the FANTASTIC and TERRIFIC runs from the 1960s. I had almost put together complete sets when I came across a guy selling the complete runs from a single collector. Now I almost have 2 complete sets! Always on the lookout on Ebay UK for the huge lots.
The Fantastic/Terrific books used terrible quality staples and it's almost impossible to find these things without some type of rust accumulation. It really bothered me for awhile, but after talking with some collectors in the UK, they say that the vast majority are like that. It's taken me back to when I collected to collect, not overly worried about high grade books only. It's a lot of fun!

Came across another batch of early Barry Smith Pin-Ups back from when he was still a teen in the UK. These are from the Fantastic Weekly put out by the Oldham Press in 1967/68, and were used for the back covers. No Smith Collectors Collection is complete without these classics!

Here's a UK oddity, From SMASH #38 October 1966. Despite the Batman strip on cover the issue's point of interest is a NEW hulk strip. Sometimes referred to as Avengers 3 1/2 as the story follows on from Avengers #3. The villain was later retconed as the The Masked Matador from Daredevil #5;

Don't think the stickers have been shown before, at least no longer visible;

Me too.
