Ant-Man

My first Cap ...

Not bad at all for a first sub! Congrats!!

Can't help but think of Ford Fairlane, featuring Andrew Dice Clay as the rock 'n' roll detective.

Only books I bought at WW Chicago

Moondog?

Awesome! (thumbs u

It was my favorite non-Marvel book back in the early 80s.

Ditto. Vivat Grendel! The "War Child" 10-issue series that was intended to be #41-50 is a great story IMHO. I've enjoyed a few of the minis since then, in an "Elseworlds" sort of way, but nothing like the original run.

And wait till you have to scroll through all the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Looking forward to it. (thumbs u

Congrats Stephan!

A cool week indeed. That will be quite a culture shift into 80s Marvel, but each age has its own rewards.

Nice raw purchase indeed!

While everyone here knew you were deserving, it's nice to see you get some widely recognized cudos. Congrats!

Time to knock this thread back down a few pegs where the air isn't so thin ...

My first of the early six & first "Circle 12". Posted in a few other spots, sorry if you've grown weary ...

My first "Circle 12".

The SSP Smash-Up Derby set was cool, but cheap for a reason: only one of the cars still functioned and most of the "pop off" parts were missing (car hoods and doors, etc.). But the ramps, box, and 2 in-tact rip-cords made up for it, and the seller also tossed in the functioning "Mini T" hot rod which really rolls! We messed around with the cars before dinner...they don't run for mess on carpet, but are crazy fast on the basement floor!

We had (still have)? a variety of SSP vehicles (I seem to remember some 'rocket'-type cars), including that Smash-Up Derby set. The pop-off parts would go all over the place and the ramps worked well with Hot Wheels too! Definitely picked up speed on tile.

Thanks for sharing.

It was a paperback/digest kind of Sunday ...

Loved the magazine, never knew they had paperbacks.

Had a Dover moment, except these are not 1st prints.

Original reprint digest (Gold Key), not the republished reprint digest (Whitman).

Seems like there's been a Mile High book every other page for the last few days now. Pretty soon, we're going to need a reservation to post in this thread. Thanks to everyone for sharing some incredible books!

A1 #4 of 6. Contains a Grendel story that I never knew about. B&W anthology title with stories by Moebius, Sienkiewicz & Alan Moore. Meta-Warriors cover by Simon Bisley.

Some recent magazine pickups.....

Cracked #2

Make sure to stop by the magazine thread with these ...

Thanks for the input everyone. Your knowledge, as always, is much appreciated.

Not to worry. (thumbs u

Not sure how 'rare' this is, but the Total Eclipse bag made me dig it out:

I had posted this in a thread about comic artists outside of comics, but I thought you guys would appreciate it here as well. Found it while thumbing through some old Circus rock magazines:

I found this little nugget at a flea market last summer, but I never got around to scanning for the antique mall/garage sale/flea market thread.

I was looking through a box that primarily contained sci-fi/fantasy art magazines when I came across this (the post-its were not included, just trying to maintain some privacy for the original owner):

The return address sparked my interest, so I flipped it over:

And finally, the prize inside:

I'm not sure how often these things turn up, but I was very happy to find them with the original mailer. It would have been nice if a thank you letter was included, or something on Mirage letterhead, but it's still a nice grouping.

I don't think I've posted to this thread before, so I'll apologize if these items already appear in the 100+ pages of history.

The first is a book I bough over the summer at a used book sale hosted by a local library. All of the pop/pull/twist items inside still work!
