Another Clue

[Tnerb]

Or Will the next set Please stand up

 

I posted about a week ago my last clue. I even showed a partial of a cover and that is what you will see from below. Let's recap for a moment. We are dealing with Marvel. This is the company that I fell in love with, if not the first company I purchased comics from. The second clue (29) signified the copper age of comics, especially since it was 1984 when I never looked back, I was 12. The third clue was point blank and blunt. It is not currently a set. I still have yet to ask the powers that be to make this set. The fourth clue was a partial of the cover. Which I do believe brings us to our fifth clue. I hope I placed them in order. But let us digress...

 

The New Mutants was an easy set to pick for me, as were Longshot, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, and Magik. Only one of these four have I completed. There are other sets I am partial two, I am on two pages worth, which I never wanted to be. I was always interested in having a finite graded CGC set. OOPs. Now I even have sets that have a single graded comic book, a few that I decided to collect .5 specimens, and then there are my original copies I sent in, like my New Mutants #15 for example? What makes us pick a set to collect? Is it an artist, a writer? a combination of both? Or maybe just a good memory that lingers on.

 

I picked a few sets that I wanted to collect and then lost that loving feeling. There was no passion behind it; no love for it; no go go go about it. I knew if I were to start another set, I wanted it to be a set I could get behind and really want to complete it. If I do this I want them all I a 9.8 or better even though some I am going to have to go after are limited or do not exist, like my New Mutants #58. So I decided to be gracious and go a little bit larger. This might give it away and it might not, but if this clue doesn't, the next one is a doozy.

I am going to say Excalibur but I know I am so wrong.

 

I feel that is Kitty Pride's waist but I'm probably incorrect.

 

This mystery set is tough to figure out.

Excalibur has a set made already... hmmm.... Tough one... Still, no ideas?!?! I will, you've inspired me Tnerb... Inspired me to go ahead and start another set... something a bit older than my current modern sets, something that is a true favorite of mine... Actually, This is my Favorite Comic Book Movie of All Time, and possibly my favorite movie of all time! So with that, I got the 1st issue of V For Vendetta, CGC 9.8 WP, and fortunately, it is a very limited set, so... only 9 more to go.... Hey, maybe I'll actually finish a set one of these years... That would be a great goal!!!!

 

I'm also considering the 1st Star Wars series... I mean, after all, who are we fooling... We should all have a Star Wars set.

That clip looks so familiar! I hope I can put my finger on it...

 

Interestingly, in looking at artwork that I think matches the thumbnail style I can see, I tihnk I've found a set that I would like to collect... depends on the current state of the registry whether or not I want to get the set or just a few of the best.
