Hepcat

And one of my favourite covers of all-time as well!

Adventure Comics was replete with jerk covers for the Legion of Super-Heroes: CGC 9.2 It's no big surprise when women turn against you, but things are really bad when you can't even trust your pets.

Well then let's go to the Doom Patrol:

One more:

You're just a youngster in my book then! Truthfully I never concern myself about the comic "market" or its "health". I merely look at the prices of the comics on my Most Wanted List and far too often wince.

This was well after Dragon Lady moved from the north side of Queen Street West to the south side of College Avenue circa 1996 though. You're not thinking of the location on the east side of Yonge Street opposite the Eaton Centre to which Silver Snail moved circa 2012 , are you? That was upstairs.

I might have given some of the DC 100 Page Super Spectaculars a glance but the rest I would have dismissed as common stuff that's everywhere.

'Nuff said.

What I find troubling is your conflating "health" with "rising prices".

Sounds like he'd get customers both coming and going. I wish somebody had told me about that store at the time. What years would that have been? Do the collectors who've mentioned it remember whether the women were hot?

Comics Unlimited. It moved to the southwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Bathurst and became Comics Unlimited/Sports Connection circa 1989 during the sports card boom. The store was eventually taken over by the owner's son Daniel. Around 1999 it moved to some God forsaken location near Dufferin Street and Highway 7 up in Vaughan as Sports Connection. It's now strictly mail order out of Niagara Falls. Yesterday's Heroes was indeed dark, dingy and disorganized. Both the first Grey Region location downstairs on Queen Street West and the second location on the west side of Yonge Street near Wellesley are gone now.

Queen's Comics & Collectibles was where I bought some of my earliest Justice League comics including #3. Comics Unlimited on Keewatin Avenue just east of Yonge, Dragon Lady and Silver Snail were the other comic shops I patronized in the late 1970's. Queen's Comics and Comics Unlimited also had cards. Bakka Books was in the Yellow Pages under comics but by 1979 they stocked just about zilch comics. Certainly their Yonge Street location had none. Trying to find any of the titles/issues I most wanted though was like pulling teeth. As a result I thought Toronto was just a backwater for comics and I needed to go to Detroit, Buffalo or New York to find the comics I saw listed in Overstreet.

This one: About a week after I read a copy of this one at summer camp near Mt. Brydges just outside of London, Ontario:

Truth! Issues #2 and #3 are almost always much more difficult to find than #1's.

Thanks for reminding me why l just say "No, I'll pass" to those places.

Here are a couple more of my Atlas westerns:

Rather than hijacking this thread, I've posted a lot about my board games throughout the "Hepcat will still be Hepcat" thread including on this page:

Mmmmm, Batgirl!

Here's a picture of that same cabinet with a better view of the games from about eight years ago: I've added a few board games since then.

A few more from my run:
