Go to Theme at the bottom of the page and switch to the beta. It changes the color scheme to something easier on the eyes.

Thank you

Is there a way to change color of these forums the white is very boring

So...picked these up at my local used book store this evening:

 

Great books man awesome finds

Well, this thread just is going to cost me some money. But, that is a good thing. So, here's the story. In 2011, my dad passed away and I ended up with all of my parents' stuff. Being the nice hoarder that I am, I kept most of it, since it was their stuff and it has some sentimental value. But, I already had a three bedroom home with three bedrooms worth of stuff. In 2012, I meet the woman I end up marrying in 2013. She owns a three bedroom home (with her two kids), and I move in... with three bedrooms of stuff and my parents stuff. So, our garage is a disaster, our house is a disaster, and did I mention we combined our pets? My dad's dog, my dog, my two cats, and her dog. Sigh...

 

So, I show my wife some of the cool setups on this thread. And I mention how much I'd like to do something like this if we had the space. She said "Let's do it!"... so, we are going to get some stuff together and it looks like I have some projects, but one of them will net me an entire wall of the bedroom just to store and display my comics any way I want. This is a win. I can wake up next to my beautiful wife, and look over at my beautiful stuff. I'll post more in a month or so when we get it all done. Whee!!!!!

 

This is such a cool book! Excited to own it.

 

 

I hear that Harley will be marrying Scooby and they will have mutant children, so this one might be a keeper. That's what I'm hearing....

Mega Man live action movie in the works.

 

Any comics worth picking up now?

His first comics were in Japanese and are impossible to find. I am not sure what his first American comic appearance is. Maybe the 2003 series I checked to see if he was ever in the Valiant Captain N series but he was was only on the animated show and not in the comic.

 

You may want to check again! I am almost positive one of the Valiant Nintendo oversized softcover TPBs teases MegaMan on the front cover. Wish I had time right now to refresh my memory.

Yep Archie Comics Puts out Mega Man comics

Great Cover

Oh, you meant comic book robot covers

 

 

Really cool cover man

My First Valiant Slabs

 

 

Those covers are really cool man grats

This one is why i normally collect Timelys

Cool Cover

Two scores from Heritage today.

 

 

I now have bookends (#1 and 6) for my Phantom Stranger run. None of them show up often so I can't really tell if 6 is harder to get than anything else but I do dig its cover.

 

 

 

I was told this copy can be kind of difficult in the Venus run so I'm happy to have a decent copy for my set.

 

 

 

 

Still have some comicconnect and comiclink bids in over the next few weeks too.

Today I went to two yard sales and found these comics. A few little keys but for what I paid - no complaining At least, I get to read great classic stories! Tom Cat was one of my first books in reading when I was a kid. This one in photo - I got that for 25 cents.

 

 

Great Books Grats

I like all of those Nedor titles and Startling is as close to Marvel Mystery as you can get.

Some really great covers there nice

Oh, the postman came a little while ago and brought me this. It is a hard bound giant annual. I have never seen one of these before. Very cool.

 

That is really cool

Looking through by bucket, I found a few more "Hooded Guy" examples.

Hi Gang. Yes, I will from try and keep my stuff mostly in this thread. I've got some cool ideas but just have to make the time to shoot photos and post it. "All in good time my pretties!"

 

Oh no matter what we all say, this really is "junk" to most "normal people". If you don't believe me, take one of your favorite comics into 7-11 and try and trade it for a 6 pack...

 

But us "abnormal" people with refined tastes know the real story.

 

I Know this is late but welcome to the boards and great collection

 

Thanks Wicked and welcome to the boards yourself. Now start posting some pics!

My brother was ten years older and used to leave his comics all over the house. My mother told me that I taught myself to read from them during the late 1940's but I don't remember organizing and collecting them until the 1950's. My now departed dear friend,Ray Funk. was a true collector, specializing in Buck Rogers but loving it all. He was about 20 years older and could remember buying everything off of the stands as it came out in the 1930's. I can vividly remember buying Uncle Scrooge in "Only A Poor Old Man" off of the stands but he could remember buying Action #1!

WOW Great Story Your Both Awesome In My Book

At least we are not like Barks' second litho, "An Embarrassment of Riches." The three of us total well over 100 years in this great hobby and have had a lot of fun along the way.

 

Richard, between the 2 of us we have 100 years in the hobby. Richie Evans is bringing up the rear with another 35-40. add the three of us together and we're the oldest man on the planet

 

I feel so young now, having only 31 years in the hobby.

I was returning my copy of The United States Marines to the stacks when I noticed sitting atop the next stack was a Matt Baker love comic.
