Ant-Man

Here's one just beyond the Bronze Age. Good ol' Kay-Bee Toys ... Middle book is Muppet Babies #5.

A little off the beaten path. Needs two scans due to the length.

So what do you know about the Sega Promo?

+1. The only Star title that I bothered to complete. I was very happy when Mr. Porker began a new series in Marvel Tales. Does anyone know what issue was his last in this title? Believe it or not, the OSPG doesn't bother to break it out. The nerve!

I don't normally seek these out, but I couldn't pass them up at a flea market this weekend. Pizzazz # 6 & 7.

Went to a subdivision garage sale on the next block. Found about a dozen Cracked magazines from the mid-80s in great shape. A sample: Same house had a handful of Gold Key/Whitman books. I thought a few might have been prepackaged only and I guessed right!

I believe this was the only Bronze book I picked up at C2E2.

I haven't bought a Cracked magazine in nearly 30 years, but I loved 'em as a kid and was more than happy to pick up about a dozen issues at a garage sale this weekend. A small sample:

Picked this up last weekend. It was the last of the nine B&B books with the Metal Men that I needed.

Sale at the LCS last weekend. A few highlights ... I know this was a hot book at one point, but I never owned a copy. Not even collecting this title yet, but I couldn't pass them up. My favorite of the group as it filled a big gap in my collection.

And don't forget that there will be a Mouse Guard comic on Free Comic Book Day this year (new story!).

Went to a Marvel New Year's Eve Eve party. Wasn't expecting to get anything, but I picked up a few one-shots that I missed in the 90s.

Just in from ebay. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a hero was stirring ...

#50, Thing battles the Thing. Not a particularly difficult issue, just haven't run across one in my recent searches. I can wait until C2E2 if I must.

Just in from shark2557 (thanks Mike). Only need one more to complete the series.

Another year-end half-off sale at a local LCS. Didn't have much time, so I only picked up a few titles. About a half-dozen Ghost Rider, a half-dozen Grendel & a few Marvel Two-In-One. I only need Ghost Rider #93 to complete the run.

Just in from ebay. A few mags that I don't see too often. Both have bound-in Spider-Man comics.

Year-end half-off sale. Nothing compared to some of the books in this thread, but they work for my budget (didn't pay more than $4 for any book). After I got home, I noticed that I had books from five different decades (60s - current) and five different publishers. Good thing I don't have a focus issue. Some highlights: Capes #1 (5 pg Walking Dead preview): Fantastic Four #73. I'm a big fan of giant guest star bonanzas & this books gives me a run from #60 - 261.Can't tell you the last time I bought a Silver Age Marvel. It felt good. Grendel #40. Heard this one is somewhat tough to find & I've seen it priced much higher. Very happy to find this one. Picked up a bunch of Marvel Two-In-One. Think I'm down to six more for the complete run. Fun title. Metal Men #15. Only two more for the complete run.

I enjoy the Andru/Esposito artwork, especially compared to the Metal Men mini from a few years ago (ugh ). The stories are fun reads, generally light-hearted. I'm not a big reader of DC, but these guys are the exception. Read an old, coverless copy as a child at my grandparents cottage & I've been hooked ever since.

From a recent trade with HouseofComics (thanks Marc).

This is a great book. It was a big event when it was published...I remember what a big deal it was when it showed up. The reunion of Lee and Kirby and a Silver Surfer/Galactus epic to boot! Nice book Lloyd. I picked one up about a year ago. I don't think too many people think about slabbing the thicker books that hover between comic and TPB.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with it.

Just in from Ebay.
