Here's a few favorites I've got in my reading stacks. That HOM has a killer story in it. I'll make a seperate post on that.

Ghost Stories 1 is a classic! That and 'Tales From The Tomb" are two of my all time favorite horror comics. They are very different compared with the other issues Dell put out. 

Happy Reading horror heads! Halloween is right around the corner. ?

Some spook-tacular reads right there! I'll have to check out Ghost Stories, never associated Dell with horror before.

Finally slabbed a sweet copy of this book. It took about 8 years of website checking, want list submitting, eBay dice rolling, and a little bit of joeyposting.

That is sweet, congrats Barton! Perseverance pays off 

Once an agreement has been reached via PM, the seller should immediately post "Sold via PM" in the thread (assuming the buyer hasn't beaten them to it) to let any other interested parties know the item is no longer available.

Nothing better than bronze framers

Sweet looking cluster of PF's, Collin. I'm especially liking the Twin Cities pedigree!

There was a seller on Granville that used to put the board in the middle of the book every time.  Perhaps greggy just left it there....

Golden Age Collectables. To give you an idea of how long they've been there, I remember wandering in and out of the store while my sister held my place in line while waiting to see Superman 2 at the Capitol 6! Back then the store was mainly focused on collectable movie posters...

Great grades youmechooz. Love those Rhino covers!

Not anymore.

You found an MTA #6 graded 9.8? Or another 9.6?

Bought a sweet CGC Suscha pedigree from Collin.  Easy to work with and the comic was well packed and shipped fast. Buy from with full confidence!

How can he be a Targaryen?  He doesn't have blondish-white hair.  

I think the blondish-white hair is only for "pure" Targaryens (i.e. born of incest). Dany's mother was Rhaella Targaryen - her father's sister.

 I think Bran will control the 3rd Dragon, he's always been able to take over animals (wolves, crows)

My guess is that Tyrion is the third Targaryen. The books indicate that the Mad King had an unseemly interest in his mother; he doesn't look like a Lannister; and this could be the true reason behind his father's hatred for him ("you're no son of mine!").

Also, he is the only other person I know of in the series (other than Jon and Daenerys) who has been able to get close to the dragons without becoming a snack - and we all know the dragons only tolerate Targaryens!

So am I.  I've been reading the "Saxon Series", I've read the 3 King Arthur books (Nothing like you think it would be) and a bunch of other books by him...Just GREAT reading..I WILL read this book soon since he recommended it. Funny, Bernard Cornwell has a book titled the same and it's an excellent book! 

Just a heads up, this one is Non-Fiction. Still a great read, especially if you're interested in the real history behind the books (like the fictional historical novel you mentioned - Azincourt).

Four more.

I love this cover art:

One of my favorite Thor covers. Hela is awesome, as always, and the looming maniacal visage of Loki seals the deal!

With a cover like this,  who wouldn't want to read this comic?

well I will throw a few up that haven't been posted yet, in all their mid grade glory

 

Great comics, though I wonder what was going on behind the scenes at Marvel when Thor 158 went to press. The Marie Severin penciled cover looks like a stock photo without even a hint or blurb of what might be awaiting potential readers inside the issue. Maybe Kirby was way behind schedule (again) and Stan Lee told Marie to "make a cover, any cover, just make sure it has Thor on it!"

One more recent grab. This comic has been at the top of my want list for the longest time - the Sentinels are my favorite villains - and finally found its way to my modest collection via Comicdey (with an assist from djpinkpanther67). Thanks Collin and Thomas!

I'm a big fan of Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe!) and a history buff so I grabbed this one on sale at Black Bond Books solely on his recommendation!

I thought she looked even better as her alter ego on the show.  If not for Lynda Carter, this would have been my second choice for Wonder Woman of the '70s.

She is definitely the stuff Saturday morning memories are made of...and that's not forgetting Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

Dyna-Wow!

Totally dragging this thread off topic, but I didn't realize Isis - I mean, Joanna Cameron - was also in the Amazing Spider-Man TV show! Thanks, Google!

Nice books, but God, did I hate that period when Marvel attached those annoying yellow ad banners towards the top of the covers.  Ruined a lot of iconic covers for the time (X-Men 137 comes immediately to mind).

Oh yeah..."This Marvel Comic Could Be Worth $2500 To You!" "Win A Toys 'R' Us Shopping Spree!" "Win A Ten-Speed!" "Don't Miss the New Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends!"...those fugly cover banners were a terrible idea and definitely the bane of comic collectors in the early 80's.

Two new, via ComicConnect:

Another recent addition!

For the Journey run, I'd venture #s 83,85 (first Loki),89 (classic cover),97 (origin Odin; first Tales of Asgard),103 (first Enchantress and Executioner),112 (Thor meets Hulk), and 119 (first Warriors Three) at least.  Maybe 115 for the origin of Loki and 102 for the first Sif.

All must haves, but there is one other (minor key) - JIM #114 - 1st Absorbing Man! A personal favorite and, in my opinion, a classic cover!
