Tomega Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 X-Men 59 From the collection of Joe and Nadia Mannarino My favorite cover of the Adams run. I got a couple of X-men coming back from sunny Florida in a couple of weeks. The colors are great on that cover, those issues in the 50's and 60's are the best. Good luck on those X-Men from CGC.

tilleycs Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just got this one Saturday. Man, SWEET book!!!! As far as my collection (and I feel kind of out-of-place sharing this, because I've been concentrating more on reading lately than buying), I've been able to complete and read the following mini series lately: - Green Lantern vs. Aliens (pretty good; glad I was able to finally get all 4 issues) - Green Lantern: The New Corps (good; again, glad I was finally able to complete it) - Hulk/Thing: Hard Knocks (hated the art, and the story could/should have been done in either 2 regular issues or an annual; anyone who paid full price for these issues deserves their money back) - Avengers: Celestial Quest (passable/o.k. story - I really thought it was going to suck when I first started reading it, but it was able to tread water; glad I got the set cheap) - Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect (good story; the sequel, the novel "What Savage Beast", is just as good if not better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Anderson Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Another good week for my blossoming spidey collection. Still haven't graduated to the $150+ issues, but I'm picking up lots of runs in the meantime. Just received a full run of Web of Spider-Man (1-129, Annuals 1-10) from eBayer mask_collector2001, all in vf to nm condition. good stuff. Expecting a full run of Webspinners Tales of Spider-Man (1-18) in the next day or so from eBayer mutedemon. Picked up a handful of higher issue ASMs from board member whet. Also won this week's raffle over at MyParentsComics.com , so I've got a Green Lantern #48 on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I took a chance on the high-volume eBay seller 29frank29 and, for once, I am glad I did. He has a somewhat checkered reputation (and he send the comic in an unprotected bubblemailer ), but I am VERY happy with this one. I would have had to pay 5-6 times as much for this book at a show. It's a gorgous copy with white pages to boot. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEWN:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a somewhat checkered reputation (and he send the comic in an unprotected bubblemailer ), but I am VERY happy with this one.... Yikes. His address reminded me of the box of loose, unbagged, chipping comic books I got from him, including reprints (10 y later) claimed as originals, loose covers wrapped around the wrong book, etc. He did cough up a modest adjustment, but once was enough. You got lucky to buy such an attractive book from him! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hesitant this time as well, but it looked too good from the scan to pass up, especially at $10. He got the book here in under a week too!

The supressed memories are slowly coming back. Post-its stuck to the covers of 50-year-old comics that took a divot of color when removed, grouchy reply to complaint (no one else minds the post-its), and correpondent was usually she (Dawn) not he (Frank). You really did get lucky. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
