I have a question, and I'm hoping this is the place for it... when none of these are numbered, how do you know which issue is which, both in your own collection, and when you're buying?

By the season/year listed. Here is a good issue by issue list.

I just picked these up last week for next-to-nothing and they are all in fantastic condition! I never knew there was Silver Surfer/Galactus stories in these magazines!

 

 

 

I also got dozens of copies of Heavy Metal magazine from 1977-78 in the same purchase. Some great stuff that I never saw when I was a kid.

Yeah I was surprised to see Silver Surfer in there too when I first read it. But it was a good story and made the mag a little different from Heavy Metal

 

I've seen images online but not purchased yet, but is Eclipse Magazine in the same spirit as Epic Illustrated and Heavy Metal?

It was an anthology title like Epic, and was the first appearance of several characters, such as Ms. Tree, Coyote, and Masked Man. I'm definitely in the market for a set of these myself, as I have a complete run of Ms. Tree and would like to add the Eclipse Magazine issues.

Only two and I'll be holding onto those.
