There was a massive outdoor comic sale in Vancouver this past weekend, a fella selling a bunch of stuff for a friend whose brother passed away. They've been at it for a few years and most of the big keys are long gone, but there was still some cool treasure to be found. Chief amongst the things I bought was this Marvel Tales book with a cover by Moebius (probably my introduction to his work as a kid), signed by the man himself. Couldn't let it slip away, I knew I'd wake up in the night thinking about it if I did. 

 

 

nice find!  Congrats!

Earliest Boba Fett cover.  Not the greatest cover art, but 43 years old now... it's older than Elvis when he died at 42! 

Speaking of 42, it beats Star Wars #42 by four months (using the dates stated by Marvel).

[Parabellum]

First appearance of John Conner in comics.

Always wanted an HG copy of this book. Threw in a bid and lucky - or not lucky depending on how one views personal finance - it stuck

Ignore the stickers, some dollar bin stuff, but are complete including the 3d glasses.  the regular alien worlds is kind of lacking in story mode though, and I enjoy the completeness of the 3d glasses insert without removing them to read.

Perfect description of this book/series and one I'll steal and use for books whose only good attribute is their covera.

Tell me about it  

We're encouraged to be wordy in our descriptions in the "registry", so I talked about "future worlds" due to the cover having only a vague idea of this series from snippets of the Dave Stevens issues that I've read and are posted. I went to put the insides as "a pic" for the "back cover to the slab" and

It is a wide range: from cavemen type clubbing women to other, but did have one story at the end where the "children try dismembering people by pulling their heads off, only to discover they can because they're robots!"  

So I guess it had "future" in it  , so edit to say I'll leave my "Dune prescreen pass" as the back cover picture, as it is a sand of a cover!  @grendelbo

I think the LCS's bargain slab bin is cool, but it keeps me from saving up to something "meaningful." It's nice to be able to bargain shop, but the grades in those bins probably only satisfy me  not a bad $48

Hi copper age fam  Back issues are hard to find in person down here, so when a comic sellers market was held in my city I had to be there and here are a few of the books I picked up. Only minor keys but they've been on my wish list for a long time. A lot cheaper than eBay & no postage too 

1st appearance Nocturna 

1st Frank Miller Born Again story arc

1st appearance Vindicator - Alan Moore script Frank Miller pin up
