  1. I've always liked this cover. Great example of the value to be had in these secondary titles that most tend to ignore.
  2. Sounds like one could be about them vanishing, the other from the perspective of said vanishers. Either way someone was maybe a bit lazy that month, at least when it came to coming up with a title.
  3. A few pics of last year’s show that I still had on my phone.
  4. Agreed, it’s an odd one. I always blamed that on the alien in the foreground. If you ignore them it’s less odd but still out of place for JIM. May be a pre-implosion issue that they were using up, but this would still be odd for JIM and would have had to come from another title’s back log. That, or they got a head start on the sorts of stories we’d see shortly in very early TOS and TTA.
  5. I thought the same thing when I saw yours pop up a split second ahead of mine! For whatever reason this daily number festival has gotten me back into logging in more regularly. Hope it lasts! I do miss the boards, just difficult to take the time some days...
  6. One of my favorite shows of the year, already looking forward to it!
  7. September 16-17, 2023, staying at the Embassy Suites at least one more year!
  8. I've been watching the countdown via the daily updates I get, and since I just got my JIM #45 back I wanted to belatedly show it off on the day of 46. Had a hell of a time finding the JIM #46, and I am not crazy about the page quality but wanted at least a placeholder at my target grade.
  9. I covet this #46 if you ever decide to rehome it.
  10. Congrats on the scanner upgrade! Those are great books. I’ve been spending a growing chunk of my budget on these Atlas books that vanished in the implosion. Not sure what to call them, I often go with some variation of “secondary titles” in comparison with the survivors JIM and ST from the era. This sort of in between late Atom age/early Silver Age Atlas is fantastic stuff.
  11. for 2023 dates soon, this has been my favorite show of the year lately.
  12. TTA #22 is one of the least common in the run, in my experience. Finding a nice one is even tougher.
  13. Spent more than I planned to, but wasn't going to let it go.
  14. Thanks for posting those. That AA #1 would be a grail for me, love that title and to have the #1 from that pedigree would be a centerpiece of any PHM collection.
  15. I would tend to agree with her for these less common books. If only I had bought one of the TTA #13s I saw at Chicago shows in the late 80s and early 90s. But I was holding out for a higher grade…
  16. We’ve had some fantastic shows in Dallas, particularly Fan Expo but even some of the smaller shows. There are definitely buyers.
  17. Dallas again? I wasn’t able to attend after all , and would love to have it nice and centrally located again.
  18. Congrats! Tough book, and good eye appeal for the grade.
