1983 MH ad

[Ogami]

To be all honest, even if you had a time machine, you most likely would never get the Key X-men books (94 or GS#1) Not sure about the hulk 181. I tried back then to get them but they never seemed to have one available and would always send back an alternate selection. So I tried to hold out till one came available by not having an alternate (paid waiting list). I think I waited almost a year before I gave up....

 

oooh, I did not know that. That is very interesting.

Great thread, Slym.

 

This topic really hits my nostalgic buttons. For a twelve year old, reading the MH and EastCoast Comics ads was akin to checking out the Wall Street Journal for stock tips, which is to say they were about as accurate.

 

Between the ads, and the nosebleed prices from LCS dealers, I had heady misconceptions of the industry.

both.

 

I remember ordering Spec 106, 107, 108, 109 from East Coast Comics and it took "forrrrrrr-eeeevvvvvvv-aaaahhhhhhh" (see The Sandlot for pronunciation).

 

Good times.
