  1. Amazed no-one has picked up that Mystery Tales 40...
  2. If I'd been around I'd've snapped it up in a blur. Great book for a decent price.
  3. Thanks mate. MLJs like these are always hard to resist.
  4. Not a bad pickup so early in your PCH collecting career...
  5. For a second there I thought Roy was selling a $500,000 book on the boards like it was no big deal.
  6. Spot-on Jim. The early 70s was such a great jumping-in point for the medium.
  7. It was Bernie's art in Swamp Thing #10 that got me into this hobby, or rather stopped me buying British comics and got me into American ones, which were waaaay more interesting for the impressionable ten year old that I was when I picked up that book on a seaside trip in the early '70s. I still think that series is incredible, and Wrightson for me has remained my favorite comic artist. I finally got round to chatting to him at a London show a few years ago (despite having numerous opportunities at all the U.S. Cons I attended when he was there). I brought that copy of Swamp Thing 10 for him to sign (and I rarely if ever get stuff signed), while telling him that it was his fault that I was such a massive comic nut. He took my little jibe with the humor in which it was intended, and was great to chat to. Needless to say I'm gutted at this news, even though I knew he'd been ill for some time. RIP Bernie, you were great.
  8. Hulk 181 has sold. The two Avengers, both awesome books, are still available.
