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. Ah that is a much bigger piece than I realized, so cool, the sig is a nice touch too. I remember something of what you've told about it, it's a personal piece all around. Kudos! Glad to see you make it, I too have the advert of hulk vs wolvie, but mine is from Marvel Premiere #19. Was there a different issue that had it too? My keepsake of the ad was yellow label page Yours has class Edited June 18, 2022 by ADAMANTIUM Artboy99 and Namtak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shazbot Posted June 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2022 This March of Comics 16 cover looks like it went a few rounds against a steak knife, but I had to have one once I spotted it. Looked around online for a nicer copy but couldn't find a thing so I grabbed it. Such classic, old school Woody, so unlike the much more kiddie-friendly version put out by Dell and GK. The read didn't disappoint, even got Woody in the panels dropping F-bombs like he's Wolverine. grendelbo, F For Fake, Kevin.J and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Strange-Avatar Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just in time for summer !! $2.00 ea. at the LCS !! Well.......A summer and a half ago ((almost 2 yrs ago)).
