LDarkseid1 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I’m struggling guys lol. I kinda want to get rid of them all, minus the #44 since I got the 6.5. Think I might let go of everything I have below a 6.5. So that would include a couple others I have. What should I do???!!! Was sooo tough to even come by some of these!

Was sooo tough to even come by some of these! My first reaction is “PM me with prices”, particularly the 21… a nicely presenting copy with popped staples is right in my wheelhouse. My slightly more serious response is “hold until you find upgrades, given how scarce some of them are.” THEN pm me with prices!

I’m content with mid to high mid grade on those. Edited January 25, 2023 by LDarkseid1 OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the latter portion of the run hits right where DCs are the hardest to find in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OtherEric Posted January 27, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2023 Today's additions. The 223 is obviously just an upgrade, since it's one of the only two Murphy Anderson Atomic Knights covers I figured it deserved an upgrade from my previous quarter bin copy.

Popular Post Dikko Posted January 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2023 I am trying to collect the AUSTRALIAN versions of STRANGE ADVENTURES printed by Colour Comics, Sydney, starting in 1954 with an 8d or 9d (8 pence - 9 pence) price. I have one CGC issue, Australian No. 1 CGC 8.5 (US equivalent #44) and I am planning to get graded more latter this year. Note: Not all Australian issues have a US equivalent, although most do. hchill25, frozentundraguy, Book Guy and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noted this in my own database. I have 20 (not all in top condition) of the 43 Australian issues. The price increased to 1/- (1 shilling) from #23. My quest continues!

LDarkseid1 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Found this interesting and had to post. Couldn’t help but notice there’s been an influx of #205’s being bought the last few months maybe, and some of the nicer copies sitting on the Bay for a while were snatched up in the last month. Wonder if that’s due to James Gunn’s Swamp Thing announcement in part, likely going in that Justice League Dark direction. But I think some were purchased pre that announcement. Also to be fair, a Deadman and JLD movie were previously in development as I recall, but that was under the old DCEU of course, so no guarantees what James will head to, beyond what he’s already announced. Anyway, will be interesting to see if that persists. Edited February 10, 2023 by LDarkseid1 OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 In today. The #21 and #28 are courtesy @LDarkseid1. The #21 cover may not be quite at the level of the #79 or even the #50, but it's still one of the best the series ever did in my opinion.

LDarkseid1 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Well, it’s been fun folks, but I decided it’s time to move on from this series. Holding onto my Deadman set, and issues #2, #12 and #20, but saying goodbye to the rest of my run! So going to be a bunch of pretty nice early Strange Adventures hitting the next Comiclink featured auction in May, and a lot of lower grade in the March focused. Honestly no clue how they’ll do, but should be interesting. I will say, this is the only run I’ve ever worked to collect for a long time. So it’s been fun to say the least!
