Artifiction

2021 has blessed me with some, to me, awesome acquisitions, and more than just three. However, since I have to choose just three, I pick the three pictured. Chosen only because I have the most $$ tied up in purchasing them.

Just a suggestion to all... Never tell your wife the true value of your comics!

Hmmm..... I wonder if the lucky buyer will join the Vampi #1 club? He/she should be qualified?

James, you know better than that. I wish it were me that got it. Heck, I couldn't even buy that CREEPY 29 that's in Randall's thread, and I wanted it, bad. I do have everyone paid off for the books that I have purchased, though, and that makes me feel good.

Dayum! Hey, at least we got to see it. Thank you for that, Lion's den!

I'm not a dealer. I'm just a collector wanting to go to some local shows, but If you could get some fliers to me, I'd be glad to distribute some around my area. Every little bit might help?

I hope so!

I'm in Huntingburg, and would love to see a show in Evansville. Better than having to drive to Indy or Louisville.

Awesome cover.

A phone conversation with the seller never hurts.

I tried following one or two members, and was surprised when I started receiving notifications for every little post that they made. It made me feel more like a stalker than a follower. So, I stopped following/stalking them. I only wanted to know when they posted a new sales thread!

Why can't I just be happy with collecting lower grade books? I'd save so much $$ if I could just be happy with books that fall into the good-fine+ category. All I'd have to do is ignore the outer edges of the books, and focus on the centers, but no, my eyes go directly to the even the smallest of faults, and they bother me. In some instances, the faults won't stop me from buying something, but bother me they do, sometimes occupying my thoughts for long periods of time after seeing them. I'm that way with all things that I collect, like vintage, Halloween ephemera, coins, records, cast iron, animal traps, tin cars and trucks, etc. I wonder if there are others that suffer from the same affliction as I do.....

Every time I look at these that bionic man sound effect keeps going through my head.

Thanks, and he really does. I know you must be excited to get your package of goodness!

Over the moon pleased with these. Thank you, Namisgr!

I was wondering what the story was about, and now I know! Unfortunately, my OCD won't let me read the books that I buy. I'm almost too paranoid to touch them, much less read them. I'm afraid that I might cause some kind of damage to my minty beauties. I'm not sure if the stories are meant to be logical? I think I prefer them when they're a little on the illogical side.

Sorry if these have already been posted. Thanks again, jimjum12....

Upgrades are always good. Nice grab!

Thanks, Steve, and thanks for clarification. I appreciate it. Would be nice to have that cover proof!

So this cover was never actually used for issue #39? The #39's that I've seen have a different cover?? If it wasn't used for #39 then my #96 wouldn't really be considered a reprint, would it? Just trying to figure it all out.

I like the "WEIRD AND HAUNTING TALES OF FRIGHT!" better than I do "COLLECTOR'S EDITION!".

Page 40, please?

Thank you, Blackmask. It's a beauty....

Isn't it obvious? Spiderman, taking a fisting.

The left leg looks very loooooong.
