Not to be picky, but these probably go in the Bronze Age forums Hope you got a deal Sorry, didn't see this was for moderns only. I haven't bought any for awhile. Instead, I'm working on rebuilding my first comic book collection. As a kid, I had a little green box full of index cards to record all my comics. About thirty years ago, my mom offered it to me and I turned her down. Am I ever kicking myself about that. Same for rejecting my shoe box full of 1960's/1970's football cards. Trying to remember which comics I bought first is not easy because I eventually filled in the gaps of the collection after it was stolen, then my mom forced me to sell that collection also. Today, about all I have to go on are memories of comics that were in bad shape, or were exttremely memorable for some reason. I don't know why, but the DCs don't stand out as much as the Marvels, possibly because I eventually bought every DC by Neal Adams or Wrightson, making it very difficult to recall if I got those before or after the first collection was gone.

MattTheDuck Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The number of comics I've bought "off the rack" since the early 1990s could be counted on one hand. Picked up a copy of this book today, mostly jonesing on Bronze Age nostalgia, although this book is nothing like the original "Giant-size" books.

Popular Post Sauce Dog Posted January 11 Popular Post Share Posted January 11 (edited) This technically counts as a modern TPB purchase since I had to pay to get it printed (and contains several modern stories) What happens when publishers don't make collected editions for all your favourite D-list characters? YOU MAKE EM YOURSELF! My latest custom TPB features Dreadknight. Contains four classic stories and a few excerpts of other appearances and profile pages. All but one of the stories has been heavily modified from what was originally published (I would remove non relevant pages of the story, correct speech bubbles in case plot points were dropped, or even outright remove characters in a story to change the focus just on the featured character. For example Black Knight #2 I removed Captain Britain completely from it by modifying the art adjusting panels and correcting text - you would never know he was in there and the story is now reduced to only 16 pages). I have previously made custom TPBs for Hourman and the Blazing Skull, both also either included full reprints or modified stories from their cameo appearances in other books in order to make them standalone stories with a coherent plot (Such as taking only the Blazing Skull panels from the modern Invaders comics and turning them into a single story that flows well) Edited January 11 by Sauce Dog the authority, oldmilwaukee6er, Silver Surfer and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpknface Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 FINALLY grabbed this one. It was mandatory for the Hobgoblin collection. I like the logo versions over the virgin covers most of the time. There are a serious number of newton rings happening I'll have to get fixed eventually, but I've got the book so I'm happy.

I love this Hobgoblin cover. I had the trade and sold it off after the virgin I had came back in a 9.8. I know what you mean with some books looking much nicer with the text. It was a shame that Marvel whored out Gleason with so many web head variants, it got to a point where it became overkill. Glad that they stopped though for now. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
