    It's been a long time but I think from recollection specifically this Hulk initial series was not that popular, not doing well sales wise, and the run was stopped at #6. It wasn't until Hulk appeared in Tales to Astonish that this the lead to the successful runway we all recognize today for Incredible Hulk.

    Understood, but it was a cool cover, good name, and intriguing-looking monster story; maybe dr jekyll or even a bit frankenstein-ish. And first chapter so no risk of missing anything.  Hence my surprise.  In contrast to say, AF 15 which had another new name, turned out to be last issue, and weirder looking spider guy.

    Many thanks, the books are yours, please see your PM for further details. To the best of my examination they are all unrestored, if I have made any error I have a generous return policy to ensure customer satisfaction :smile:

    ...in other news Icemageddon is finally passing here in Montreal...we had a visit from Elsa...for an Ice Queen she can be a bit hot tempered....took down two of my favourite trees in my park next door...and damaged at least one car...just got power back a few hours ago...in some places entire residential streets are blocked by fallen trees and branches..

    Wow.

    Nothing remotely similar to yours, but here's a pretty one I took last month when an unexpected freeze hit San Antonio of all places, and my neighbor across street left the auto sprinklers on.  Stay safe buddy.

    Really nice copies of these 'Olshevsky' indexes.  Got a whole set but my first few are used, congrats on this pair.

    Nice stuff, speedcake, !, though I'm beginning to think I'm never gonna just come across a Rampaging Hulk 27 (last iss), but might need to actually go looking for it.

    Thanks guys!

    Im not a huge SA key collector. Anything I should look for ala complete inserts missing. 

    There are pinups in a bunch of issues (and if removed from comic it gets a CGC grade 0.5 "incomplete" or something).

    E.g. recent books I've bought at a discount because "missing p. 12" (which was a pinup in both cases) include ASM 1 and X-Men 6.  The pinups were started early too, in Fantastic Four 2, 3 and 4 for example.  There's probably a list of which comics had pinups somewhere out there.

    Just my 2c but I think that you would do more sales if you posted this thread in the GA/SA/BA section rather than the mixed section

    I don't like posting there either - too much riff raff over there.

    lizards2 gave me the same sage advice (had like 4 books from early copper or something), and it makes sense from traffic maximizing pov, but personally this low-key place is less frenetic and more laid back.
