Picked these up from various places over the past couple of weeks. Adding Tales of the TMNT 4 and 5 means I finally have all 7 issues.

It's TMNT 7 - the 2nd print. If you want to get pedantic about it, it's not technically Krang, it's an Utrom (an alien race of which Krang is a member). However, most people do call it the Krang cover. It's a sweet book for sure.

Yeah, and also one on the front cover of the first print of 7. But man, that 2nd print is just so cool looking in my opinion!

New Comic Book Day Pick-Ups

[Jesse-Lee]

Won a 21 book lot on eBay for $10. Mostly drek, but I bought it just for these 3 anyway, I think it was worth it:

Before  I heard the term Utrom, Me and my friend always called them the T.C.R.I. aliens.

Such an underrated gem. How you can still pick up raws for $100 is beyond me. 
 

Pairs well with a #2

Happy to have a House of Secrets #92 once again in my collection.  This book completes my Swamp triumvirate (First Heap, Man-Thing and Swamp Thing) - Savage Tales #1 is going to CGC for Roy Thomas to sign it for the signature series.

Managed to hit the back-issue bins at a local comic shop and came away with these...

   

  

Classic Steranko in ST #168.

Some cheapies. Got issues 3-4 from the first series; 1-2 from the second. Makes me think someone before me purchased the opposite.

I wanted to share my framed Marvel Value Stamp collage. 

It is my Stan Lee signed series A booklet (1974) with the series B booklet (1976). Also in the center are the Marvel adverts that fueled my collecting focus when I was 6-10 years old. The "Marvel" advert in the center is from 1971, and I collected books for every character whose head appears there. The advert for the Hulk vs the Thing was the second time I had seen them in a fight, the first being the very first comic book I ever purchased which was Fantastic Four 112. And of course, the advert for Hulk 181 the Wolverine.

Surrounding the center are select Marvel Value Stamps I clipped from beat books I purchased at the Calgary Comic Expo in April 2022 for the purpose of creating this unique keepsake that is now finally on display.

This journey of capturing an era of comic collecting that is special to me started in sept 2013, when I finally acquired the empty series A 1974 booklet. I got it signed when Stan Lee made an appearance at the Calgary Expo in 2015. Finally acquired the 1976 series B booklet in April of this year.
