    HOM 193

    Just won this in the current Comic Link auction. One of many great covers by Bernie Wrightson on this title. Quite hard to find in the higher grades as well.
  2. Thanks for displaying these awesome Adams covers. I had all thirteen of these books in CGC, graded 9.0 - 9.6 at one time. I ended up selling 121, 123 - 130 during the pandemic. I've since re-acquired 124 in 9.2 CGC, and am still looking for 121, 123 and 125. Dale Roberts has a 123 9.4 Mass. copy that I'm eying. I believe there is a 9.8 125 on eBay. That leaves 121, which is probably the hardest issue to find in high grade after 116. Speaking of which, I'm glad I held onto my slabbed 9.0 116. Like you said, very difficult to find in high grade.
  3. Very nice books. My favorite is issue 3. I've been trying to find a high grade slabbed copy, but no luck as of yet. As far as western covers by Adams are concerned, the Tomahawks are the best in my opinion, particularly 116 - 125.

    Eerie 77

    Picked this one up yesterday. My first Warren magazine purchase in three years. Awesome cover by Richard Corben. The story inside depicted by the cover was actually a trilogy spread out over several issues. Enjoy.

    Low Distribution Conan

    My second win in the current Comic Link auction. And yet another reacquisition of a book that I sold during the pandemic. Same grade, same page quality as my previous copy. Described as being a low distribution issue in certain areas originally, this book is easy enough to find in high grades nonetheless. Quite surprised that my winning bid was under $220. Enjoy.

    Amazing Adventures 8

    Won this yesterday in the latest Comic Link Auction. Somewhat obscure work by Neal Adams on this title doing artwork on the Inhumans stories. It's nice to acquire a copy that has a perfect cover wraparound, which is quite difficult to find with this issue. Enjoy.
  7. Very impressive gallery. But I'm not sure about Girls' Love Stories 155. Apparently this cover was done by Tony Dezuniga, although the characters in the background look like the work of Neal.

    Heroes, Inc.

    Quite right about this book being all too common in high grade. On the CGC census, there are 293 graded copies. Out of that, 4 are 9.9, 90 in 9.8 and 97 in 9.6. A slabbed 9.8 you could probably pick up for $100, don't know what a 9.9 would fetch.

    Heroes, Inc.

    Picked this up at a local comic show today. Very easy to find in all of the high grades. Sexy cover by Wallace Wood, who excelled at drawing full figured women. Enjoy.

    Strange Adventures 215

    Won this in an eBay auction the other day. Yet another book I've re-acquired after selling it. The next to last issue of this title featuring the incredible run of Neal Adams Deadman stories. As always, enjoy!
  11. My latest win from a Comic Link auction. Very tough book to find in grade, as is evidenced by the CGC census, where there are only eleven slabbed copies showing. This was during Diana Prince's "mod" phase, so I wonder why she is shown on the cover in warrior gear instead of one of her white jumpsuits. I guess I would actually have to read the story to find about that. Well, as always, enjoy!
  12. Picked this one up at the Toronto Comicon today. I don't usually go for signature books with sketches, but I decided to make an exception with this one. Just so happens to be the only signature CGC for this issue. The $550 price tag you see there is in Canadian dollars, but I managed to get it down to $470 (roughly $340 USD). Enjoy.

    Tomahawk 124 Again

    Picked this up on eBay the other day. I was outbid on a 9.0 CGC copy a few months ago, so here I've acquired a higher grade with the buy it now option. Need not explain how impressed I am with this Adams cover, as I already did so in the previous journal on this issue. Anyways, enjoy it again!

    X-Men 118

    Won this in the Comic Link auction last night. I'm working on re-acquiring the John Byrne issues 108 to 119 that I sold during the pandemic. So this one's a good start. Also, these books don't cost an arm and a leg in high grade. Enjoy.
