Can anyone help me finish my Hero for Hire/Power Man/PM & IF run?

[tilleycs]

I was able to help out a fellow forumite recently who only needed 6 Iron Man issues to finish a full run. He got a great response from fellow board members, so I figured I'd post in hopes that you guys can help me finish my run of "Luke Cage, Hero For Hire/Luke Cage, Power Man/Power Man & Iron Fist". PM & IF was one of my favorite titles in the 80's, and I've been working on a full run since I got back into collecting a little over a year ago.

 

Here are the issues I lack (28 issues total) from having a full run of 125 issues:

 

- 1-7, 9, 11, 13, 15-18, 21, 32, 35-37, 39, 42, 48-49, 53-4, 57, 74, 84

 

Since I'll be *reading* all the issues, reader copies are fine (and preferred; I am *not* looking for a high-grade run). I don't think the issues are high-demand or high-dollar, so honestly, I'm not looking to pay a lot for them, I just want to complete the full run. Hopefully I can find some folks who are just looking to get rid of these cheap.

 

I know the villains are dippy (I already have the issues with the dreaded Mr. Death, Mr. Fish, Big Ben, Stiletto, Discus, Doombringer, etc.). I know that a lot of the covers have Cage falling from a height that "even though I'm bulletproof, could kill even ME!" I know the dialogue is how white men in the 70's thought black men in the 70's talked. I've just always liked this title for some reason.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Thanks, Arex! The list of issues I need is, uh, in my original post.

I have a spare #2. I'll know the grade when I get home, but it was low enough that I recently replaced it. (Recently enough I haven't got the new one yet). Pretty certain its around a F.

 

Dunno if its worth the shipping cost to ya to get it though.

[tilleycs]

First-class shipping for one comic is less than $2, it's definitely worth it to me for issue #2.

oh man, you're killing me. i have all those issues in duplicate spread out among 60 boxes in storage rooms 90 minutes apart

 

oh why i why did i never organize collection?

 

why oh why don't i have enough room to keep it all in my home?

 

woe is me

 

i do have #1 and that sabretooth appearance handy as well as some from the 30s and 40s and 50s. i'll e-mail you

[tilleycs]

Well, let me be your inspiration to organize! Drop me a line at tilleycs1@yahoo.com or send me a PM.

 

Thanks, everyone! Hopefully I can start getting things going and complete the run (or at least take a huge chunk out of the list of issues I still need).

Thanks to Steve (Rhino_Comics), I now only need the following issues:

 

- 1, 4, 11, 32, 35-37, 39

 

Only eight issues left! Can you feel the excitement???

 

Hopefully I won't get all of these except one and have to be the Ian Levine of Luke Cage comics.
