In today.

Since the topic came up in another thread, let's see if we can create a definitive list. Here's what I have so far, I'm sure there are some I'm missing.

No, seriously, we need the laugh emoji back...

For what it's worth, the post would have gotten a laugh emoji from me if it was available...

Checking my list for what marvel magazines I've got complete runs on... Bizarre Adventures, Comix Book, Conan the Savage, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, Destroyer, Doc Savage, Epic Illustrated. Kull and the Barbarians, Marvel Super Special (other than #7), Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk/ Hulk, Savage Tales Series 1 (with a 3/4 cover on #1, need to upgrade), Savage Tales Series 2, Spectacular Spider Man, Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction, and Vampire Tales. I also have the one-shots Darkman, Deadliest Heroes of Kung Fu, Marvel Movie Premiere, and Marvel Super Action. I have Savage Sword of Conan 1-60 and 190-235 (the Roy Thomas runs) complete, with a scattering of other issues in-between. Does anybody have a definitive list of the Marvel Magazines handy?

Another underrated run, those are beautiful copies. I finished the series a while ago.

Hopefully you snagged the books, it looks like the few copies that were on the Bay of either issue have sold in the past few days.

Was looking through a box at home that was largely unsorted dollar bin pickups from the last couple years. At the time, I grabbed this one purely on the principle of “nice Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez cover, that’s worth a dollar.” I then threw it in a box and forgot about it:

I think we settled on Daffy Duck #27 as the best choice, with Looney Tunes #240 being on the stands a couple weeks later.

So, disregarding Charlton Bullseye as not actually published by Charlton, and skipping SICK as just not seeming that interesting, there are only 20 magazine issues from Charlton. That seems like a doable little project, although some of the issues are pretty scarce in the market. in today:

That's why I chose that issue in particular.

On the original cover, the Price box was ABOVE the Duke image; and the pistol overlapped the image of Duke. On the reprint layout, the price box was below the image, and they didn't want the pistol obscuring the price or CCA stamp.

Adventure Comics #370. Admittedly, I got this book well after the fact, some time in the mid-80's, at a swap meet; since I'm personally early bronze age. But it was the first Legion of Super-Heroes story I had ever read, although I had read about them in Who's Who not long before. The story was part two, but it brought you up to speed quickly enough. I still think it's a masterpiece by Shooter & Swan, and I was hooked on the Legion instantly. Somewhere between 20 & 25 years later, I finished off my LSH back issue hunt when I finally got a very beat up copy of Adventure #247, but it all started with that swap meet find.

Do you mean first issue of the Morbius run in Fear, or first Morbius solo series at all? Because his run in Vampire Tales started before the Fear run. Although he wasn't on the first two covers (other than holding the brand emblem), which may drive down the demand.

A dollar bin find from a couple years ago, still has the record:

I actually have both versions now:

I concur that it's a manufacturing error. It's such an odd one that I have no idea how it would impact the grade, though. Definitely worth the dollar, though!

I would say the perspective on this cover is weird in places, but it's so bonkers I'm not sure the artist wasn't channeling M.C. Escher...

Found in the wild today. Not an Arkham House book I would necessarily sought out, but as one of the very few I’ve seen at a store it was irresistible on general principles. 4991 copies printed:

Two pickups at a local store today. I’m not 100% sure what people consider the line between bronze & copper but I always consider the “Marvel Comics Group” banner as bronze:

From the local store today. Always great to add a Frazetta cover to the collection:

You win some, you lose some...

I wonder if Sanjulian was looking at the Eerie #23 before he drew the Vampirella #23?

That book is garbage as scholarship, making a truly epic number of factual errors. But I saw it in the library when I was a teenager, and what it does do extraordinarily well is convey a love of old comics. I read it and wanted to see more, and have spent the last 30+ years trying to do that. One of the first EC's I ever got, and one of only three I kept when I sold off most of the EC's I had then to pay the rent about 20 years ago, was MAD #20. Which I originally wanted because I saw the cover and a partial reprint of the story "Cowboy" in the Crawford. I'll never recommend it to somebody as history. But I will always personally love it because it, more than anything else, made me fall in love with the golden age.
