Get Marwood & I

When we were kids my dad decorated the front room with cool 70's wallpaper and some retro furnishings. A month later, we noticed that the house 4 down had the exact same set up. My dad was first of course. Oh, and I really like Amazing Fantasy 15.

It's a shame everything is so expensive isn't it. If you're in it for love, the big bucks are a drag. Hope @adamstrange reads this soon and shows us his copy. His copy, I said ?

Nice! I suppose you can't be too choosy on grades when the books are this old and scarce. Congratulations on getting them all

Yowser! How long did it take? Couple of weeks?

Don't dis da pencers bro! Which ones ya missin Jim? They don't call me 'I The Locator' for nuffink ?

The more obscure titles are tough in Canadian prices, for sure. Good luck with the search (you've got me looking now!)

Not sure, but Lassie definately needs a hair cut.

Thanks again @bababooey! Hope you don't mind the hijack

Not another word!

How cool are these!

I bought both of these for under ten of our Englandville pounds each when they came out. Though I sold them for an eye watering profit, had I hung on a few more years I could have sold them and bought a new car. Ouch. Actually, OUCH! Cool covers to boot. OUCH!

Great thread @bababooey! I didn't realise you were an ASM variant man. Great taste Sir Here's a well deserved bump, with a few I used to own. I ended up with 3 copies of the 184 in the end, but none of them had the sticker. Here's why: I always preferred the unbagged 390 to the bagged: Better than the snow cover? A nice sketch: A nice effect: Some of the second printings had great covers too. A few faves here:

Did you take a picture? Is there a comic book character called 'No Soap Man'? If so, I meet him every month at the London Comic Fair

What did you find was your hardest run / set to complete? Inspired by @Ghostzapper 's amazing achievement here. (well done again GZ): I was reminded of how difficult it can be to put together a run or set of 'hard to find' comics. During the Completist/Completionist/Nutter years, I had trouble with various lines. Here's a few that gave me (hugely enjoyable) grief: Australian Price Variants Trying to put together a run of AUS price variants is so hard! Not only do we not really know what exists, but finding any that haven't been used to wipe a dingos backside is, as the French would say, tres difficile. Try it my friends, try it! Marvel Newsstand Price Variants Jeptha Jude of Israel, these are hard to locate! Especially when, like me, you have the eyes of Mr Magoo. Online barcode squinting is not a pastime I would normally recommend! But try it anyway! Mark Jewelers Inserts For 800 years I tried to get the full ASM set (alongside training Jedi). If ASM #124 has an MJI, it must reside in Australia (see above)! Foolishly, I sold the lot. I could start again I suppose.... So, over to you guys. What was your hardest run / set to get?

I have some other good ones that would fit if this was a more generic "Unauthorized cameos (and references)" thread. Then check out the new thread title and post away @Lazyboy

Now that's more like it @Lazyboy! A Joker in the pack ?

Don't be so negative @Lazyboy !

Classy.

And longer legs And tighter pants.

Not here in chromeville @Sqeggs, no.

If the decision is taken to delete an entire thread, should that thread move to the OPs 'Your Threads Remove by Moderators' section Arch?

I got a slap for an anagram of 'Robot Man' in my Anagram Competition thread, in which I gave away free comics. I thought the mod in question played a blinder on that one.
