Just started to dig into this long box. In addition to the IH 180, these stood out to me. I need to go through the box and inventory everything, but this is a good start.

Ah, thank you. I don't even remember her, but it's been a looong time since I've read that run.

Thanks! It had been a bit of a dry spell for a while, but I took a chance on a couple this weekend and it paid off. This thread is some great motivation to keep at it.

That Judge Dredd looks like his 2nd appearance in the U.S. market.  He was active in the Europe comics about 6yrs earlier with his 1st appearance in 2000 A.D. Prog #2, with his 1st cover being #5.

lol I have been doing the same. I’ll keep that in mind, though.

It’s like this collection read my mind as to what I was looking for. It was all there.

Got these at yard sale for cover price so around 60-65 cents each.. less than a dollar each! Initially when I heard that I thought in my mind $3-4 each which is kind of high but I didn't mind because of the quality... that's what I've been used to my whole life.. only to remember these books were from the 70-80s!

That is an impressive haul. Were there any other collectors at the sale? Around here, at least four guys would be pressuring the seller for early access, either days or hours before opening time.

A dealer friend was also there with me. He got Transformers 1, X-Factor 24, Marvel Spotlight 29, etc. Then another comic collector friend came who bought a couple records. We all thought there would be more ppl but perhaps there were so many garage sale options that day it was overlooked. The dealer friend and I both had two long boxes to look through at the same time and I was lucky enough to pick the right box that had majority of the keys. The X-Factor 24 was in the first box I looked through but I missed it as the bags were practically glued together. Here’s a pic of the highlights he sent me
