I haven't bought a page in a couple years, and my commissions, which are not high dollar, have slowed way down.  However, this Thanksgiving, my 2 sons gave me these 2 beauties.  Kind of an early retirement gift.  These close up my ASM 6-375 run.  They went overboard on the 129 9.0, but as my youngest says (he's 34) "anything worth doing is worth overdoing!".

Beautiful! And RESPECT!

This cover reminds me of Batman/Superman Hour episode "How Many Herring in a Wheelbarrow". I was also wrong Killer Moth was not one and done character

I didn't do much buying, more learning and looking. Made a list of what I'd like for the PC and am going to try to stick to it. Got the TGK and King for me, got the Web as a gift for a friend (the double cover was a surprise and a nice bonus), saw the Blue Bolt at an estate sale. Right when I saw the second cover, I knew I was looking at someone else's book.

well here's certainly one of my fave purchases - I was so fortunate to get the whole seven page story, it was like a dream come true

for you buddy @davidtere

one day, in the park?  I've got the incredibly large Itoya to carry these double ups now.  BTW Steve Saaf and Jim Vadeboncouer think this is Sekowsky inked by Vince.  Uhh, wrong!

         

That lower right panel...

Thank you! It's low grade with a married centerfold.  

But I figured I would never have an opportunity to own this book in better condition, so I jumped on it. 

I'm not a big signature series collector, but Stan signing his first work in comics and Joe Simon signature is pretty cool!

These are exquisite indeed Dr. Love. Since this complete story by romance artist extraordinaire Vince Colletta belongs to you, I'll try to hide my envy at such an original art find. Beautiful in every way possible.

Love the kitty. We just lost ours the night before Thanksgiving, so it has been rather gloomy. Congrats on yours!

Yowzah! Sympathies! I've lost pets too, it's not easy

2022 was a good year and it was hard to narrow it down to three favorites.

1. Got lucky on this WWT 15.  It’s one of the tougher non western 30 cent price variants  and is in really nice condition.  Picked it up for just $12 as the only bidder of a 6 day eBay auction.  By far my best deal of 2022.

2. Doctor Strange 13. I like collecting the oddities such as price variants, double covers and MJ inserts.  To be able to acquire a 30 cent price variant with a double  cover was really cool!  Not sure I will ever part with this one!

3. Local artist and friend Brad Hudson does a lot of work for Topps doing sketch cards.  He sketches Star Wars, Marvel, DC and Walking Dead cards. When I found out he would be doing sketch cards for the RR Parks Ultra Man series I commissioned one to match my Avatar!  Signature dated ‘21 but I actually picked it up at the start of this year.

So very sorry. We have been there before, it’s always heartbreaking. I think we love these babies too much sometimes. Warm wishes to you and yours, take care.

It was a pretty cool year picking up stuff - I have no complaints!

After the huge ordeal I went through trying to get a Chamber of Chills 19, I finally ended up with one with a Boardie’s help:

In 2014 I sold off my comic and art collection to fund our restaurant - and had no regrets, except for letting go of this one Gonzalo Mayo painting that I loved. After we got our feet under us with the business, I offered (through CLink) to buy it back every October for six years - and this was the year The seller accepted! So it’s back in my office where I get to see it once a day again.

And lastly, a hard-won auction item - I personally think this is the best Sabrina cover out there from the 70’s - it has a cool PCH feel, and it’s just a HUGE image (14”x22”) I got lucky on the win, and am proud to own it!

Great stuff
