It has been a while since I updated my journal. In a trade to acquire my most prized comic, I had to part with half of my Top 50.  I am going to redo the entire current gallery following this post. I chose to leave the original Top 50 photos, so I can look back and cry while thinking of the cool books that have departed my collection. 

Anyway....Here are my new Top 50!

Book #16 side story....

On an early December night in 1973, my mom asked me to fetch my favorite comic for her.  I sifted through my comics and picked out the one that had the best cover;  Marvel's Greatest Comics #42.  She tore the cover off right in front of me and handed the remainder.  No big deal....I went back to playing with football cards. 

Christmas morning came and the reason for the dastardly act of comic destruction was revealed;

This brings me to comic entry #16.  Marvel's Greatest Comics #42 is the rightful owner of the slot, but a 9.2 (with amazing deep colors) is the best copy I could find. When I found this...

I fell in love with it.  As a result, I kicked out the most important comic of my childhood. I couldn't get rid of it, so it became #16B.  So much for limiting myself to 50 comics. 

Very cool and weird set!  They are even numbered 1-33.  Thanks for sharing. 

Sweet set!  How about a group photo?

Just for starters, I would add:

Amazing Spider-Man #101

Marvel Spotlight #2 

I would skip Hulk 141 and the Cat #1
