Yes I got the poster as well.

The insanity continues...

If anyone is looking for a decent copy of My Love Special #1, I have one for sale. It's in Fine, with some creases in the lower right corner and a weird streak through the middle that looks like a printing error. (Both blemishes are almost invisible in person. It's a nice copy). Taking offers from board members. PM me!

Thanks guys...it is nice to have the hard work of accumulating these books appreciated by felloe board members...Here are some Silver Age books recently acquired (starting off with another grail book...the Northland Strange Tales 110 CGC 9.4):

 

Costume is custom made with light up Eye of Agamotto.

Bigger pix of the room HERE.

Thanks folks! It took me more than a year to put together.

And if anyone's interested, I got the poster display here:

My Sanctum Sanctorum is finally complete!

Korvac, those 2 books PWN.

Beautiful copies.

This should go in the Risque Comics Thread

Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun making them!

Just acquired yesterday...one of my ST "grail" books...

One day I will own a 115 as nice as this one... beautiful book!

Hey, how did you get that "Earth-Prime" version of Strange Tales 110?

I hope you didnt make a deal with the Dreaded Dormammu!

I designed and printed custom covers for the entire Steve Ditko Dr. Strange run on Strange Tales and attached them to coverless/Fair/Good- copies of the actual books!

It's Dutch....I used to have a full run 1-50 at some time

Oh well... I was close!

And finally, a full color Special Strange from France that reprints FF #1 as well as Strange Tales #110 and 115. This is a great copy, and one of the coolest foreign reprints I own:

Next up is a German X-Men reprint (with full color interior!) of Annual #4:

Some foreign prints of Marvel classics came in the mail this week. First up is a ragged looking copy of a Spider-Man UK weekly. I love the Romita Sr. art in ASM #109, so had to grab it...

All are midgrade copies. I just love that comic...

If anyone wants to trade me 1 copy in CGC 9.4 or higher for all of them, I'd do it!

Since I got 2 copies of this book this weekend, I figured I should take a group shot of my babies! (One of them is from my custom covers project) :

Some more pre-code goodness that arrived today, this time one of the most famous crime/horror comics of them all. This issue figured prominently in Wertham's SOTI and in the Senate hearings...in fact, it was this issue that put Gaines on the spot when he claimed the cover was "in good taste". What a cool little slice of comic and pop culture history.

 

One of my all time favorite EC covers... up there with Weird Science #12 ("Good Lord! Your shrinking Carl!"), the Frazetta Weird Science Fantasy cover, and the uncensored Vault of Horror #32!

Congrats! Beautiful (is that the right word?) book!

Very nice. Want to sell this one to me?

Not a comic book, but related...

Hope to get some stuff worth posting here next weekend at Wizard World LA!

The big purchase finally is in my grubby mits!!

 

Rare UK Comic Convention program with a Bryan Talbot Dr. Strange cover:

And finally, a classic comic book cover (one of my all time favorites) that I got for a steal on eBay. Sure the spine is bad and cover is loose, but the image is fully intact and that's good enough for me!
