any of the early Bronze Age Jimmy Olsen books wherein Kirby included any character related to Don Rickles

every year this show gets my attention but rarely my attendance. life getting in the way and a kid in private school makes it hard but i def want to try and get back up there one year to see your friend and mine @chrisco37 the Geppi museum is definitely cool. i recommend bribing, cajoling or some other way of convincing the tall geek @MrBedrock to go with you since that was my experience and his wealth of knowledge really made a fun visit much more interesting than it might have been otherwise. Some of you cats are older than dirt. You know who you are

Guessing those were distributed in Canada, given the French warning about putting one's head inside a plastic bag, non?

Last one. 28 copies. This is filed under the category "Why did I buy this?" which is a bit larger than i would like it to be but live and learn as the saying goes

36 of these;

only 20 of these slabbed. this one is, of course, raw. i assume posting books for which you do not have a slabbed copy but which still fall under the fifty count threshold are still okay to post here

skipped 101, it's only got 33 but sadly no image. 103 has 31 copies - i have an image but it's huge and i dont want to resize it, 104 has a staggering 48, 105 a more normal 32. every other issue of this series with the odd exception of 118 has less than 50, most less than 30. I'm not subjecting the boards to their pictures i think maybe the above will suffice. only 18 copies of 120. I dont have an image of my copy which is sad because it's a really nice book. needless to say, when i started this Quixotic attempt i thoughtlessly failed to recognize that mid-60s third-rate DC books would not actually be all that plentiful. oh well, i'm in for more than a few pennies at this point so i'm just going to have to figure out how many more pounds i want to devote

28 of 96; 31 of 97, 29 of 98 (no image), 33 of 101 (also no image), 48 of 102. Observant posters will begin to detect a theme here

36 of this one. There's only 35 copies of 94 but i dont have an image;

Only 28 of these bad boys. This the "Brad Squared" Pseudo-pedigree marketed by the Link back in the day;

49 in the census. i dont have an image of my other copy, to surely the disappointment of all;

Cohort of 45 as of 9/9/24

Variants of variants seems like a bridge too far for me but the temptation is definitely there

I have removed the temptation to overpay for this unopened 3-pak. You're welcome.

its not from "The Ring of the Nibelung" or whatever its called nor is it from Sword of Sorcery...

These were even cheaper than the last group. Also mid-grade, but for a couple of bucks, who's turning them down?

Four bucks each, mid-grade.

Huge fan. Dropped the title after Vosburg picked up the art duties although he did a good job with it

Oh my goodness, no. Apologies if this has already been addressed, but Mr. Adams himself posted on these very boards (!) back in like '06 (?) and explained that the costume Ra's is holding up was supposed to be Bat's actual pants, but a decision was made - not by Mr. Adams btw - that showing Bats in his skivvies on the cover was not something which was done and so they colored it in like you see here. Wish they had kept it the way it was intended, but mainstream comic publishers back then, and especially DC, were not known for their daring as the larger IP work products were concerned. Then the thread kind of devolved into Adams's "hollow/expanding Earth" theories and got quite silly, iirc

Finally can cross 98 of my list. Just like three or four to go

huge fan of the PC books with the original sticker on the case...I only have two images saved of the three i own. My Bethlehem copy is from '66 and it just has a date stamp.

let me have my Schadenfreude, dadgummit

how to turn two million into 840k, comics version

the first time i was exposed to him was at Camp Sloane in Lakeville, Connecticut as a ten- or eleven-year old nascent comic collector. I still remember telling one of my friends that I didn't like him and i can literally hear him asking incredulously, "You don't like John Byrne?" My somewhat sheepish reply was "I don't like how he draws Mr. Fantastic." Yeah, pretty stupid. A couple of years later in Commons in Ithaca, NY, at a comic shop whose name is lost to the vagaries of time, I picked up a signed copy The Art of John Byrne, as by that time I had completely seen the light. Better late than never, I guess

boy thank goodness Destroyer remembered to put on his boxer briefs before going out to battle.
