So I bought it. That's how we collectors octopus into a whole smorgasbord of semi-related comics over time. Here I thought I was the only one who did that.

Popular Post Hepcat Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 (edited) I realized that I didn't have any Canadian Whites in my collection despite being ardently nationalistic in certain ways (e.g. I sneer at American college "sports" and the sissy four down football played south of the border). So I bought this one a few weeks ago: I can always be tempted by Funny Animal comics anyway!

I just checked out a cover gallery of Wild Bill Pecos the Westerner and that's a run well worth pursuing! Edited March 29 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr.Fantastic Posted April 1 Popular Post Share Posted April 1 Received this today. It's not my usual crime title this time. Instead a Fiction House bondage cover.

Hepcat Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 From the Golden Age I'm deep into Black Cat and she was very pleasingly endowed: I bought the #1 some 25 years ago but I still need #6,10, 11, 12, 14, 18 and 20 to complete the thirty issue run.

PVOG Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 On 9/9/2004 at 10:40 AM, precodekeith said: Yeah, in the latest issue of my fanzine I note in the market report how there are many great pre-code horror deals right now. In part due, in my opinion, to the recent frenzy in the BA horror area, especially HG DC material. Also, I hope it is somewhat of a "market correction", coming down from the balloon-inflation pre-code craze of the mid-late 1990's. Let's pray this continues to last!!! http://boards.collectors-society.com/images//graemlins/893crossfingers-thumb.gif Hey, sorry, I'm pretty new, and I'm trying to learn from those that clearly know far more than I. I hope the questions don't bother you, soooo, what is the 'BA' horror area, and especially HG DC material. Pretty sure I'm knowing on the DC😏- just curious about the rest. I know there is a horror niche, and I've been reading about comics of war making a move too. My collection at this point is small and wide variety, but not many silver or golds. Started chewing on spec books and have been doing ok, and I'm learning a lot here. Thanks for letting me babble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That person hasn't visited the Boards in more than a decade. BA = Bronze Age so DC horror comics from 1969 through some 1975 or so.
