    silver age comic
    Back to the journals after a winter hiatus, with this win in a Comic Connect auction. Actually, an upgrade. Had this one in 9.4 already, but qualified (detached staple). So now I have a universal copy. Enjoy.

    Restored Power Of Goliath

    By john ivic,


    Marvel Age
    Won this in the recent Comic Link auction. I've had to sell several books due to the pandemic, which resulted in the loss of my job. Now I've re-acquired this one. Features an early appearance of the Collector.

    Just purchased this one from Worldwide Comics. A stunning cover from the late, great Neal Adams. One of many from his amazing run on this title. Enjoy.

    Just won this from the Comic Link auction. Had this one before in 9.4, but like many books in my collection I sold it during the pandemic. So here I've managed an upgrade. 
    One of several issues on this title Neal Adams did during the early seventies. Most of them were also in this same auction. Enjoy.

    Conan 2

    By john ivic,


    Marvel sword and sorcery
    Won this in the Comic Link auction that just ended. Yet another great cover by Barry Windsor-Smith. Again, this book is a re-acquisition to replace the 9.6 I sold during the pandemic. So in this case we're looking at a downgrade.
    But my winning bid for this book was a surprise, having secured it for under $250. Enjoy.

    X-Men 118

    bronze age marvel
    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.

    Tomahawk 124 Again

    By john ivic,


    dc western frontier
    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!

    Jerry Meets Wonder Woman

    By john ivic,


    DC Comedy
    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!

    Adams Brand
    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!

    Amazing Adventures 8

    By john ivic,


    Adams Brand
    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.

    Eerie 77

    Warren Gems
    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.

    dc horror
    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.
