Ant-Man

There was a nod to pulps and pre-hero books. Here are a few splash pages from Tales To Astonish #34.

I went this past weekend, and very glad I did. For those concerned about going to a museum 15 months into a pandemic, there was an after-hours option when the rest of the exhibits were closed. Tickets are sold with varying admission times (and they were checked). I thought the staff was safety-conscious, controlling the initial headcount into each gallery, and guests were offered a stylus to touch screens and other interactive displays. This was advertised as the only surviving original page from Marvel Comics #1.

Now Oct 15-17.

Busy holiday weekend in the dollar boxes. Shaolin was actually $1.50, but I wanted the rows to be even. Only Harbinger #2 is missing its coupon.

Busy holiday weekend for newsies. The Hulk 7 probably has the most wear, while the ASM and X-Men handbook are particularly nice.

I don't collect old newspapers, but I made an exception in this case. The Sunday Mirror was distributed in New York, and this issue is dated 12/26/37. The '16 pages of comics' were not in there, but that's ok. The back cover is what caught my eye. I remember Overstreet noting an issue of Mickey Mouse Magazine that has the 1st appearance of Snow White, before the movie release, maybe the first time in print anywhere. I doubt this paper pre-dates the magazine, but it did come out before the movie. It's also different to read about Walt Disney and his accomplishments in the present tense.

Damiano Scott.

I think Spectacular Spider-Man 90 is still reasonable, if you’re looking at first black costume in each of the Spidey titles.

Nothing high-grade here, but a nice grouping in each title. Has the market decided whether a missing "digital code" sticker is a big deal? Newsstand or otherwise?

It’s 2020, anything can happen

I thought it did start here? Maybe it was moved for you.

I just bought a box of moderns from Dwayne, and everything was well-priced, well-packed, shipped fast. Can't ask for much more.

Is it considered a risque cover in any language?

What, no annuals? Well done!
