    Come on, there has to be some more CGC 9.6-9.8 newsstand copies, not just the ultra-common Whitman/Direct versions. I would love to see a 9.9 of this, as that would be a true rarity.

    Good call, JC. My 9.4 is a newstand edition, which is the only way I'll buy ASM slabs from that era. :cloud9:

    While I'm on topic... hm

     

    My Lady and I just celebrated our 7th Anniversary, which just happens to be on Halloween, and she was sneaky enough to contact our dear Shiverbones herself.

     

    She was really quite proud of herself and I, of course, was absolutely bowled over by my gift from her:

    Fully framed and perfectly matted:

    In proper context, on our mantle:

    Curiously enough, the gargolye and skull were not props for the photo -- we have them there year round! :devil: It looks really great bookended like that, but I'll eventually hang it "officially" near the entrance to our computer room (aka: my collectible vault and "secret lair").

     

    *BRAVO, Matt!* :golfclap:

     

    ... and especially much <3 for my gal. :grin:

    I caught our Queen City, Buffalo-Con this weekend. I wasn't in a huge buying mood, but scored a few winners...

     

    GS ASM #4; 3rd Punisher:

    ... and of course, my Con buying wouldn't be complete without indulging my D&D youth w/ some Sword & Sorcery B.A. titles!

     

    Conan #2 beater, a sharp Kull #2, a pair of HG CotL titles -- #22 (1st Thongor :grin: ) and #29:

    Some of the Gold Key painted covers are really good. I just got this book today and thought it ranked right up there with some of the best Turok covers.

    Wow, that IS a really cool looking book. I'm not familar w/ this classic-Key title; so like a Turok, Kamandi, Thundarr-style motif?

     

    Some post-apocalpyse-genre, might-and-magic sweetness! (thumbs u (thumbs u
