Axe Elf Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 My main goal for 2023, of course, is to complete my collection of Warren magazines (sans Famous Monsters of Filmland), which will consist of acquiring: EERIE #1 (fat chance) After Hours #4 HELP! #12b HELP! #12c Heidi Saha House of Horror ...and of course the 12 issues and 2 Annuals of SHUDDER and VAMPIRESS CARMILLA that will be released by Christmas 2023. What are your biggest targets for the new year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your biggest targets for the new year? Filling in more Warrens to keep ahead of the Reading Club, and hopefully make some progress on the last few Marvel mags I'm still working on. oakman29, batmiesta and Axe Elf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakman29 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 This past year the IRS saw fit to tax me 30K on a purchase of a home. I I have had little time to devote to my collection. So my resolution is to upgrade a few chosen Warren's, such as a Blazing Combat 1 in 8.0+ Nothing big.

Just got the Lampoon Issue finally. I had it as a kid. Everyone assumes the issue before is the one to get. It's not. Edit: Actually I just got a 2nd one. So once I get them both I'm going to keep the best one and sell the other for my cost + shipping.

I was wondering if that was THE John Hughes. I probably should have made that connection, but I figured it might be either that or the Joe Orlando comic. Just that Orlando doesn't seem to have the kind of appeal that some of the bigger artists might have. Good to know! OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the other NatLamp artists do, though... Frazetta, Adams, Wrightson, Windsor-Smith, and the list goes on. There were a crazy number of great comic artists working on NatLamp in the 70's Axe Elf and oakman29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John G. Fantucchio copy good enough? Sadly, it has a loose centerfold, which is how I was able to afford it. But I'm happy with it.
