This is cool, I didn't realize there were newsstand editions either. I see there are a couple of issue 2-4 newsstands listed on eBay, but I don't see any of issue 1.

I checked in the past 12 months only one hit the market back in December. Pretty rare newsstand considering the endless amounts of copies

It's definitely on my "If I could only have five comics" list. Not sure I'd ever have one quite that nice though, I mean wow.

yeah I'd be content to just have it. as long as it presents well in low grade

What shape is the GL 59 in? 

Not great. Low grade. I've never owned it, so I'm holding onto it

 I wrote about this in the GA keeper thread. But this is a book I've wanted since I first saw one long ago. I had passed on many copies because it was either bad timing or the copy didn't present how I wanted it to. 

This book was offered here on the boards and I went for it. It didn't disappoint. The colors jump off the cover and I'm pretty pumped to add it to the collection. 

That's one of those comics, if it was the only one I had I'd be content

Community garage sale pickup, 25c each, also FN/VF run of Shogun Warriors 1-19; the polybagged Comics and Stories books look good enough to submit!

That’s a gold mine. To many it might not look like it but sold values of Radioactive Man 1 surprise me. I still need a TreeHouse of Horror 1

I assume there is still a story here? Usually you post in garage sales antiques, but there is so much good here. Posted today it was inferred that if a book has a manufacturing thing there may be more so I dont mind telling you...

I've found a double cover of that and poison ivy  or I have before, so check your books ! But quite the hall

Kazar and all! 

I just posted the story in the Garage Sale/Flea Market/Antique Mall Finds thread. I like to put the stories in that thread

I'm watching A Million Ways to Die in the West right now

Interesting! Where would you find something like that? Its commitment to accumulate

Some of my earliest memories are going to the coffee shop while my bio dad read the paper, and I got the funnies. He got coffee and I got hot chocolate with whip cream. Maybe I should precursor that with saying my dad was born in 1940, so this would be what he grew up doing too. I realized that as I got older, so it, looking back, was precious. 

Oh yeah and I organized them by date. The Mexican newspapers are usually free at any market or shop that supplies them. The Spidey stories are usually in the comic strip cartoon section

Just curious if anyone sees value in something like this.  The comic strips are glued together along the left side, essentially making a binding and kind of making a homemade mini comic book/strip.  You can tell it is from the spring of 1978 as some of the classified ads on the reverse have dates.

Believe it or not I have about 500-1,000 clippings of this strip from about the mid/late 2000s to early 2010s. In the Spanish LA newspapers. Stan Lee, Romita team ups. Almost always horizontal and 3 panels. Top or bottom of the newspapers. 

Such a big early 2000s artist. I remember buying his Cap White and Sketchbook.. the last time I bought his art was probably Batman 1 Rebirth variant!

Whoa!  Was just about to post about nom5693

Accepted an offer from him.  Few days later, USPS had not updated tracking and he goes on a wild rant about how I was trying to scam him.  So many red flags.  Now that they're stealing pictures, blockblockblock.  

Yeah same thing. He’s complaining to me… uhm.. he’s the one who “stole” my photos   if anyone’s irate I should be the one lol.

Same, quarter bin find pre pandemic. It is a solid cover for a 90s cover!

Probably got it for $1 5 years ago

Holy smokes! This is a classic 90s image!! I bought this years ago for the cover alone
