    Hello all - It's been a year and a half since I last posted.  Since that time, in my comics life, I've been mostly working on completing runs. 

    For larger titles, some times I pick a starting and/or ending point, instead of the complete run.  So for Journey Into Mystery I started with #83 (the 1st Thor) and then went to the end.

    For Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, I just picked arbitrary issues to start with, 25 and 50, and then went to the end.

    Earlier in life, I wanted every issue, like for Amazing Spider-man, Avengers, Fantastic Four.  But I'm 61 now and I don't have the energy (and often, the money) to do that anymore.  And practically anyway, it's impossible to get every issue of titles like Action or Detective (for Action I went #300 to the end, and for Detective it was 325 to the end, although I have a scattering of earlier issues).

    Also when I get close to finishing a run I'm willing to pay more just to get it done.  Like, for Liberty Meadows, I splurged on a CGC 9.8 copy for #1 since it was the last issue I needed.  I did the same with Iron Fist 14, getting a decent CGC 5.0 copy.

    Anyway, here are the titles I've completed since my last post in Feb 2022:
