Well, these are nowhere near as impressive as most of the books recently posted, but here's some GA I've picked up recently.

I don't understand the hype behind the 1990 set and why everyone's saying those are the rookie cards. Did everyone forget about the marvel sets Topps put out in the late 70s? I understand saying the Hulk181 is a rookie card (of a comic book? seriously?) but ,most of these characters appeared on cards long before the 90s.

Just picked up this issue of Wings Comics #29. Its in pretty decent shape except for the hole punches through the whole book, but the price was good enough for me to overlook them, and they don't interrupt any story so its a great reader copy. This is now the earliest issue of Wings I own.

Had quite the eclectic mail day yesterday. Knocked off some more Venom issues that I needed and also treated myself to a group of Golden Age. My faves have got to be the Wings and Whiz comics. I also took in a box of trades to my LCS that I didn't want/ have room for/ had doubles of and traded them for a stack of Defenders books, almost a complete run from issue 55 to 105.

Thank you! Yes that is useful. I didn't even think of TMNT. The 2nd from the right looked like the toxic avenger so that's why I was thinking that. P.S. After looking them up I've discovered the ape is named Sgt. Bananas. Cant think of a better name for that guy. from L to R: Scumbag, Sgt. Bananas, Muckman, Wyrm

My mom just bought a house and I went by there the other day to go check it out. I found a box in the garage that had an assortment of toys, mostly baby toys, balls and these four action figures. I have no idea what they're from. I think they were a few years before my time. My first thought was Toxic Avenger. Anyone know what these are?

I don't have a Planet 2 or 3 to share, but this is my latest Planet acquisition, #66!. My girlfriend got it for me for Christmas.

I'm loving it, but I also grew up a huge Venom fan and he's been my favorite since. The only real backstory you need to know is Cates' and Stegman's run on Venom, you don't need to go ALL the way back to his 1st app. Absolute Carnage is also a lead in to King in Black. So pretty much just any venom related stuff for the past 3 years. I'd recommend it but I'm also biased.

These past few weeks, I've still been making my way through Hickman's "Time Runs Out" story and also started reading Bendis' run on Guardians of the Galaxy. I've almost made it through the whole omnibus, just have the last 4 issues in the collection to go (Guardians of Knowhere, which I plan on reading after I finish Time Runs Out and Secret Wars). Id say the majority of my NCBD reads have been King in Black. I have been enjoying the Marvel anthology series as well. Batman: Black and White has been amazing and so has the Other History of the DC Universe. if you haven't read Other History yet, I highly recommend it. Between Guardians and Time Runs Out, I've really slowed down on my GA books reading. I did get a few in though, my favorite on this list has to be Startling Terror Tales #11, it doesn't get much better than golden age crime comics. I've also started to read Jim Starlin's Dreadstar. Got through the first book which collects Epic Illustrated 1-9. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. 1/24/21 - 2/7/21 -Uncanny Avengers(2012) #24-25 (2) -Loki: Agent of Asgard #6-7 (2) -Magneto(2014) #9-12 (4) -Deadpool(2012) #26, -Axis: Carnage #1-3 (3) -Savage Avengers #17 -Daredevil #26 -Marvel #3-4 (2) -Wolverine #9 -Venom #33 -King in Black: Gwenom vs Carnage #2, Maurauders #1, Black Knight #1, Namor #3, Return of the Valkyries #2 (5) -Amazing Spider-Man #58 -Thor #10 -The Other History of the DC Universe #2 -Joker/ Harley: Criminal Sanity #7 -Strange Adventures #8 -Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn #4 -Batman: Black and White #2 -Man-Bat (2021) #1 -Hellblazer: Rise and Fall #3 -Future State: Swamp Thing #2, Dark Detective #2 (2) -Ghost/Hellboy 1-2 (2) -Sparkling Stars(1946) #16 -Dell Four Color (1953) #488: Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars -Spawn #314 -Startling Terror Tales (1954) vol.2 #11 -Dreadstar (1980): The Metamorphosis Odyssey TPB (9) -Silver Surfer: Black Marvel Treasury Edition (5) -Avengers/X-Men: Axis TPB (9) -Conan: Book of Thoth TPB (5) -Guardians of the Galaxy by Brian Michael Bendis Omnibus: Avengers Assemble #1-8, GotG: Tomorrow's Avengers, All-New X-Men 22-23, FCBD:GotG #1, Guardians Team-Up #1-2, GotG(2013) 0.1-27, Annual 1 (43) -Avengers World: The Complete Collection #1-20, Avengers #34.1-34.2, All-New Marvel Now Point One #1 (22) -Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 1 (5) TOTAL: 139 2021 TOTAL: 326

Here's some stuff you don't see everyday that I picked up from my LCS yesterday. They recently bought a collection of books/TPBs/graphic novels and had just put this stuff out on the shelves.

This series was pretty crazy and had a lot going on but I think there's a solid movie that could be pulled out of this.

Saw this at my LCS and just had to have it.

Besides my usual weekly pulls from my LCS, I picked up these books.

Heres a few more of my favorite covers from my collection. Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell Jr.... the inspiration for the John Carpenter movie The Thing Peeping Tom by Jack Woodford Tavern Tarts by Patrice Caval

Some of my favorite cosmic stuff from that time period is the original Thanos saga, beginning in Iron Man 55 and ending in Marvel Two-in-One annual 2. A good majority of these issues are getting on the pricey side but you can get the whole saga in the trade, Avengers vs. Thanos. Edit: Don't know why these uploaded sideways but I cant seem to correct it for some reason.

Ha! That's awesome!

I thought I'd share some of my favorite pulps/paperbacks in my collection. Here's a couple really cool ones to start out with. These two have got to be my favorite paperbacks from my collection. 3 Girls and a Killer by H. Donald Spatz,1943. This book was published by Red Circle Magazines which was owned by Martin Goodman. Also features a "killer" cover by Peter Driben. Battling the Wolves of Society: The Narcotic Evil, 1929. I just really like this because its an early look into the history of America's "war on drugs".

Just picked up this copy of Adventure vol. 114 #3 (Jan 1946) for a dollar out at the swap meet.

Yea, that's what it's looking like. I'll just have to read it on the app or some other way. I'll look into War of Realms also. Thanks for the heads up.

Just got my first Omnibus in the mail today. I knew these things were big but I think I still underestimated just how big. Just made my way through the first "chapter'' of this series. Ive been thinking of reading the whole Annihilation/Kings series after this and getting those in omnibus as well (Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest, War of Kings including Prelude and Aftermath). I cant seem to find a copy of WoK for less than $300 though! Is that OoP?

I don't have very many Hitler/Axis/WWII covers but I'm excited to share what I do have. Sorry about the Mylar glare, these are pretty much the cream of my crop and I'm too scared to take them out of the Mylar. I'll dig through some more boxes to see if I've got any others I've forgotten about. Speed Comics #11 1940 Clue Comics #4 1943 Mystery Men Comics #27 1941 Yankee Comics #2 1941 (also a splash page from the Rebel story in Yankee Comics 2)

Today I've got a copy of Jungle Action #6 up for your grading. The book has a slight spine roll, and as you can see in the scans, quite a few tears/chipping to the front and back cover. Pages are probably cream to off white but are all accounted for and attached firmly to the staples. Thanks for looking and any help on this one.

So these past couple weeks I've been making my way through the Marvel Now era's events and Hickman's run on Avengers. I've read pretty much everything up to ''Time Runs Out" and will be starting that soon. Got half way through the Avengers World complete collection and noticed a recap of events happening in Original Sin and Avengers/X-Men: Axis so I ordered those, finished Original Sin today and will be reading Axis next before continuing on with the rest of Avengers World and then onto Time Runs Out. I'm pretty sure I don't need to read everything to be caught up with Hickman's run but I've really been enjoying the Marvel Now series so I've been trying to read most of what I can to get the "full picture". I also started Reborn last night and finished it this morning. I've been looking forward to reading that for awhile but was kind of let down. I don't really have any major complaints on the book, just felt like it fell short of its potential. And as you'll notice in my list, I've read a few Golden Age books. There's nothing that beats good ol' GA. Reading a copy of Joe Palooka again made me remember how much I really like that series, it had pretty in depth stories for the time it was coming out. I'll probably be tracking down some more issues to read soon. 1/15/21 - 1/24/21 -New Avengers (2013) 14-20 (7) -King in Black #3 -Black Cat #2 -Marvel Treasury Edition (1975) #6: Doctor Strange (5) -Eternals #1 -Wonder Woman #750 -Batman/Catwoman #2 - The Next Batman #2 -Harvey Hits Presents: The Phantom(1961) #48 -Popular Comics (1943) #83 -Blast Off presents The 3 Rocketeers (1965) #1 -Fight Comics (1951) #75 -Buster Brown Comics (1946) #19 -Rod Cameron Western (1952) #15 -Shadow Comics (1945) vol. 5 #5 -Tomb of Terror (1952) #2 -Space Adventures (1961) #40 -Joe Palooka (1947) #14 -Avengers by Jonathan Hickman HC vol. 3 (11) -Original Sin HC (17) -Reborn TPB (6) TOTAL: 61 2021 TOTAL: 187

My go to monster comic anytime the subject is brought up.Planet comics 13. I don't own a copy, so i stole this picture from here off the boards.

Thanks everyone for the replies! This was supposed to be Race for the Moon #4, which was never printed under that title so they used the material for this book.
