i have found something anomalous.  not a big deal, but cool nonetheless.   after some time on my original hunt for every s.a. marvel "annual" or "special" or the like, i expanded to ALL s.a. squarebounds, including the pure reprint books.  then, for shiznits and giggles, i have for the last little while broadened that to every "classic corner logo" squarebound marvel, which got me into bronze, and essentially takes one up to the end of '71.   mike's amazing world of comics was my guide for finding them month to month with the "newsstand" function.  i've been posting my grabs here for awhile now.   

well, for no reason i can determine, there is one such old-school corner logo 25center that is NOT squarebound; it just sits out there unique, as far as i can tell.  here it is, 25c, old pre-picture frame format, but plain ol' stapled wraps like it was a 15c book.   staying true to my s'bound pursuit, it's not on my want-list, but it did fascinate me a bit!

i wuz wrong; here's a second old-corner logo 25center that is stapled, not squarebound.   this one wraps up my little silver/bronze hunt.

Just got my Hulk 181 back from CGC.  Thanks @joeypost for the great job on this book.  I bought this from my LCS when I was 9 years old.  I tried to take as good of care of it as I could, but this was before bag & boards.  I later stored it in a poly bag when I discovered them, and finally moved it to mylar with a full back as an adult.  It survived about as well as could be expected.

I'd been wanting a decent copy of this that didn't break the Bank for a while. :cloud9: @drbanner for making that happen. A catchy picture frame by the infrequent combo of Gil Kane AND Bill Everett. GOD BLESS....
