Nicely done!

Story is to be continued inside, but is an action read and early lilandra appearance!

Only the Phoenix can survive

I was impressed cause it was the 1st I had read of firelord

Broke 2 long standing rules of mine recently.

1) Never buy from HA - self imposed ban since 2012
2) Don't buy the label buy the book

As a small child in the early 1980's a friend of my Mom's gave me some books one day that were her son's. He was a teen and was no longer into comics.  The two books in that lot which I recall most were "Adventures into Fear" #16 and "Super Cops" #1.  

I found out about the Super Cops just prior to the auction ending. Figured I'd give it a go as who knows when another would pop up again. It's 1/1 in 9.8 and the red background in my opinion is just about as condition sensitive as a black cover. Additionally Red is a color highly subject to fading. The Reds on this one are deep and rich and the scan really does not show how great it looks. Luckily for me this book would have passed my personal "buy the book" evaluation.

Boy this one brings back memories and at least to me "screams 1970's"

Couple of scantily clad blondes showed up at my door today.

So I bagged them…

Comic opens with fabulous example of Marshall Rogers inking his own pencils. (His best work?) 

The Jim Starlin/Craig Russel tale ain't bad either....

Got this in the mail yesterday.  The book is nice but the case is a mess:  sleeks, scuffs and sticker residue on the front and back, Newton Rings on the front, puddling on the inner well on the back.  So it's in desperate need of a reholder.  Of course, by the time I get reholder money into it I probably could have just bought a 9.6 copy that another seller has.

The eBay seller was just getting started on selling so I didn't want to cram a return down his throat (it's kinda my fault too for not asking for better pictures).  And frankly, until CGC QC gets their act together, I'm not sending anything in for a reholder.  So for now, it at least fills a slot.

On those older styles slabs, the sides can pull apart easier, and you can slide something soft or unscratchy (paper?) And get the newton rings to go away

Just from the Star Trek covers alone, it's so obvious that Leonard Nimoy was the real star of that show from the beginning.

I like your attitude and ownership of responsibility.
