Sweet addition. Is he going to shoot him with it or choke him with it?

Would this be considered smashed to a Pulp Fiction?

In today, Justice #25. "The Death of Danny Lewis" (art by Jerry Robinson), "The Man Who Couldn't Stop" (story by Carl Wessler, art by Jac Scott Pike), "Badge #8725," and "The Secret of Simon's Shop" (art by Tony DiPreta). Two-page text story, "The Scales of Justice." This would be a bad way to go.

Just one arrived today, but its a favorite of the local crime syndicate.

Yep, gets an "A" for creativity and efficiency if he takes out all three. I have to question his method of dropping it from the 2nd floor though.

Tuesday's haul of C&P. To say I was pleased when I opened these would be an understatement. I bought them all as VG, personally think they're slightly better.

Just a few C&P that arrived today......

Just added these two books. The run has some nice covers, and some stories written by Stan Lee. Numbering started a little wacky like a lot of GA crime, but seems to be an underrated series (I couldn't even find a set registered in the registry for them).

Since were talking about MTU. Why isn't there a MTU thread? Or is there?

Marvel team-up covers are so underrated. There are some great covers in this run.

Tongue in cheek, as opposed to other places.

20 centers are some of my favorites as well, here's a few......

First, let me state that I'm not a price variant collector. But, the story behind this recent purchase goes like this....... Eight year old me was standing at the spinner rack in my local convenience store. Among my choices were this book, which instantly popped out at me due to the cover, and the fact that it was ¢35 while most others were still ¢30. I spent the extra nickel and opted for this one, cause I already had the #1 issue. Took it home, read it, and laid it on top of a magazine rack where it stayed for years.(for some reason I always kept this book on top) It stayed there until I was about 17 years old, when I traded to a friend of mine who came over and looked through my books. It was a book that I saw every time I walked into my room as a kid for almost ten years. So, when I saw it this week in this condition, I brought it "home".

Attack of the killer coochie ?

Just came today, continuing the run above........

This just in.......

Putting together a Batman run. Started with #217 since I believe it was the first book on stands in 1970 (Published December 1969), but may go back a few and start with #214 (1st 15 cent copy). Either way haven't decided where the ending point is going to be. Thought about ending it around 1980 with issues #318/319 but am not sold on that exact ending point just now. Anyway here is a few I received this week, with #227 arriving Monday.

I mean that mat in front of the door does say "Welcome".

In today, a cover i've always wanted.

Some more HG Iron man arrived today !
