    I've been looking for a copy of this book for about 6 months, even asked if any of you had one you'd be willing to part with. I finally found one!! So glad to have it... Why is 193 so important, you might ask?? besides the great Capt. Cold cover and story? It was the missing link..tying together a run from 176-270!!! Only 78 books left to complete 105-350!!!

    I was a comic book kid from the 80s. Started in the Fall of '82 with Green Lantern, and GI Joe. They, and most DC and marvel stories by that point, had multi-part stories, and I tried to get the consecutive issues, but buying at the local Circle K each Sunday (got my $3 allowance after church, then we'd stop by the Circle K on the way home. I'd get 4-5 comics and a Charleston Chew.) didnt guarentee that they'd have the next issue, or it would still be there when I was there on Sunday. I didnt mind getting a " to be concluded in..." book, but I did HATE seeing something interesting that was a part 2, or the third issue of an interesting 6 issue miniseries.... cause I KNEW there was no way I was going to find the back issues cause there was no comic book shop to visit....

     

     

    Oh yeah finding the next issue was so annoying my first spring/summer reading comics. Every week I would go down to the Quickstop gas station and get new issues, and sometimes you could just never get the next issue. Arrgh! In the Fall I did find a comic shop in the next town over, but I had to have my parents take me, so I still missed the occasional issue. But at least they had back issues. Still remember looking at a GI Joe #1 for 10 bucks or so and thinking how was I going to save up for that? First back issue I ever bought was GI Joe #20.

  3. I started with Marvel reading Transformers and GI Joe in the mid 80s buying some 3 packs at the grocery store. Soon afterward I started getting Marvel super hero stuff mostly X-Men, Spider-Man, Captain America, Avengers and Iron Man. Rest of the 80s I just dabbled with DC but never really got into anything, but I really liked the Last Days of the JSA. In the Early 90s I started reading Death of Superman, Knightfall and Emerald Twilight, and from then on I was more of a DC reader. Dropped out of comics in 99 and came back in 2014. Still more of a DC guy than Marvel.
