Get Marwood & I

And that concludes our walk through Amazing Spider-Man First Printing Australian Price Variants. I hope this helps some future completist / completionist / nutter in some way. Remember, if you decide to go after them you will need patience and the ability to not get annoyed when your promised NM turns up a G+ If anyone finds any issues I missed in the hunt, do dive in. Good luck, G-Day and be seeing you!

Hello! In my previous post I noted that the earliest L Miller indicia I have is dated May 1960 (Gunsmoke Western #58) and the latest is March 1961 (Gunsmoke Western #63). I've found a later one - Gunsmoke Western #65, July 1961 issue This is what the 'regular' US version looks like: And here is the L Miller variant: Note that the price stamp is for 6d again, not the 9d Thorpe & Porter were charging for their imported Marvels around the same time (so why was the L Miller #58 a 9d printed price I wonder?). The indicia has the L Miller strapline: ....which I'm guessing is absent from the US copies. I've yet to find a pence printed copy of this issue. 58 and 66 have them, but not 59-65. Maybe 59-65 only exist as 10c copies with L Miller distribution indicias / price stamps? These books surface painfully slowly over here, so it may be a long wait to find out!

I am me and no one else. If I have something to say I will say it. I do not appreciate even a slightly remote insinuation that I am using a shill account to say something. Nor did I Buzz, but you know that by now...

I hate unnecessary u's, even though I'm forced to use them now Favourite has been the preferred spelling in British English for several centuries, but this does not mean that favorite is a late arrival to the language or even American in origin. In fact, the OED lists instances of favorite from as long ago as the 17th century. Milton used it in Paradise Lost and, and William Wordsworth used it around 1800 (and many more examples are easily found in historical Google Books searches). The preference for favourite was not well established in British English until the first half of the 19th century, which is around the same time Americans settled on what is now their spelling. P.S. Someone needs to start a new 20 questions, but I don't want it to be me. Are you trying to class up this joint? I fear it's just been cancelled out.

Two! Two sane persons on the boards, ah ha ha ha haa! ?

One sane person on the boards! ?

He'll have to put himself on his own list if that's true.

And so did that post, oddly ?

Cheeky!

Coming from a member of the cool kids club, I'm honoured. When do I get my membership pack?

Sorry, Muggins told me you had a sense of humour Kav. I hate being misinformed! Muggins!

There's something about the mood of that issue. Difficult to put into words, and probably owes a lot to the pull of nostalgia, but it makes me feel good. 169 gets me like that too. And, if I'm honest, most of the others too.

Ross Andru, Amazing Spider-Man #143 Definitive in all respects......

Excellent!

That could be a fun game NamesJay. I applaud your perseverance. Give us an example of the type of game you have in mind, if only to see how long it takes someone to the answer? Maybe it will inspire a more enthusiastic response.

We share. I spend a bomb on comics and she calls me account.

I've just thought of another potential cause of hate. Talking sheite.

The 7-up did not help at all, but one swig of the Trades Union Congress and I feel much better. Thanks! ?

Dang, liz already did colour. I'm definitely off color. Sorry, colour. Dang! ?

I try not to fly in the face of popular opinion... I like you too. We should start a 'like' riff. Oh, wait.....

I'd do it Foley but I'm feeling off colour.

Also very good! ?

There's a three letter word missing there due to the insane new boards filter. Which I HATE! ?
