Azkaban Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Azkaban's mystery box arrived today! First, a huge thank you to Dwayne aka Azkaban, you are awesome! This is actually just the 1st box with another one on the way. It's crazy even saying that, considering the size of the box and what was inside. I knew I lucked out when my #1 pick was still available at the 9th selection but he really hit it out of the park. Azkaban PM'd right away to ask about my interests and then he tailored the box to fit them. He then sent out a mega package with more than 100 books! As you all are about to see, his generosity and thoughtfulness is off the charts. If his mystery box was not on your radar before then I am sure it will be after the reveal. In fact something tells me his may be the very top pick on most lists next year, should he decide to offer it up again... So as soon as I opened the box I was like Then as I continued going through each carefully wrapped pile of awesomeness I was like Ok,so here are some photos. Seriously, that's a huge amount of books... But wait until you check out some more of what was inside... WOW, just wow, right? From Daredevil #4 (1st Purple Man) to Walking Dead #100! Just look at those sweet, sweet, Action Comics! And that Black Panther #1 is just dreamy. That's just the tip of the iceberg. The list literally goes on and on with over 100 books and somehow more to come! I can't wait to spend some real time going through everything again and again. I look forward to sharing some more as soon as the next box arrives. Thanks again to Azkaban! You Rock! Mike you are more than welcome, your next box is on it's way Edited January 11, 2017 by Azkaban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Got my mystery boxes from CAHokie. He gave me lots of choices on different categories to choose from. Great group of items. Four signed art prints. Loving that Wonder Woman. A sweet Spiderman slab and some other nice books. Very cool old Superman book and record.

CAHokie Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Glad you like them! I got the prints signed in person. Those are my three favorite artists (J. Scott Campbell, Dawn McTeague and Jamie Tyndall) at least as far as drawing female characters go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roach04 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I opened my mystery box from wombat this evening - about 3 hours ago - and lost my frickin' marbles. I believe I sent him 5 or 6 PMs as I rifled through books bc it just kept getting more and more insane. Box theme - Frank Frazetta. And, yes - that is a Creepy #1. And a Vampirella #1. And an Eerie #3 that looks like it was printed yesterday. Really stunning stuff - I'm that fantastic combination of overjoyed and overwhelmed! Thank you wombat!
