Randall Dowling Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 @Artifiction Oakman and I are just messing around. Truthfully, he's one of the best guys on the boards and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to magazines. batmiesta, Artifiction, Brandon Shepherd and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have a place to do it. Pretty much all the members in the magazine section are good natured, well intentioned, positive board members. It's really the only part of the boards like that (in my experience). A lot of that is from the relentless positivity of several like @wombat @oakman29 @The Lions Den @Jayman @Stevemmg @OtherEric @jimjum12 @batmiesta @FoggyNelson @N e r V and several others deserving of recognition but go unsung due to my limited cognitive faculties. All are extremely knowledgable and very enthusiastic about magazines and glad to share with new collectors.

Many thanks for the alert, Wombat. Lets just hope that they don't ship the books in a plastc bag like a lot of businesses do these days.

Jordysnordy Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I’m a huge fan of SSOC, especially the 1st 50 issues. They have amazing covers and Thomas and Buscema are at their very best. DeadOne, Randall Dowling and batmiesta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I completely agree, the first 50 issues are relatively inexpensive (with a few exceptions) and filled with quality material and covers by great artists like Earl Norem, Boris, and more.

The first 10 having been moving up for a little while (led by #1 of course). 9 is a pretty amazing Boris cover, arguably the best of the entire run if not all Marvel mags (it's definitely a contender). Also 5, 7, and 12 are pretty special. Jordysnordy, Artifiction and OtherEric 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think any issues are terribly pricy at the moment, even #1 isn’t too bad as 70’s first issues go. The very late issues can be somewhat tricky to locate, no idea how much worse HG copies would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are considering a medium that has nearly gone unnoticed by the comic book masses for quite awhile, dont know why but that's a time for a different conversation. Slowly but surely these comic magazines are growing in popularity, and are not going to be cheap for long. Jordysnordy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
