If this thread needs a little more [font:Comic Sans MS]PEP[/font] maybe this'll help. Not all recent, mind you, but here's my part of MLJ saga thus far.
Acquired last summer in San Diego, here's a real nice copy of [font:Comic Sans MS]PEP[/font] #1 courtesy of my buddy Sir Richard of Bedrock (thank you, sir) ...
My MLJ collection is pretty much all pre-[font:Comic Sans MS]Archie[/font]. Here are the rest of my [font:Comic Sans MS]PEP[/font]s (pulled together over the past four or five years)...
To top things off, a couple of sweet [font:Century Gothic]Church[/font] copies: [font:Comic Sans MS]SHIELD-WIZARD[/font] #7 (uncredited Kirby cover) & #27 (first Spidey, The Web)...
[font:Comic Sans MS]Whew! >>> Budduh-buddah-buddah, That's All Folks![/font]
Such beautiful pre Archie books!
Though I can't imagine having an Archieless MLJ collection. I never even thought that was possible! (I know it is, MLJ has a wide variety of non Archie titles.)
