Sort of: I am collecting March 1979 cover date books, which is more about the date than cover itself, although I won't buy any variants that omit the month (some Whitman's etc)

Hmmm why would anyone collect books from that month :wink:

I've been considering collecting books from my birthday month, (March 1968) but I'm torn between cover-dated versus "actually on the stands". Anything from 1968 with March on the cover would have been on stands months before I was born.

I don't hunt the covers down. It's just when I see them I grab them.

Covers with a kangaroo on it. I don't specifically hunt them down but have a tendency to buy them when I randomly see them at shows.

My brother hates Robin with a passion :flamethrower: , so he collects "dead Robin" comic covers, even when it's just reprints.  Like the obvious:

A Death in the Family (comics) - Wikipedia

But also:

He has some others already, but... he has a birthday coming up.  Any somewhat more obscure suggestions I could get for him?

It's a stretch...

I think a Robin becomes red hood, and that Robin dies as red hood by joker and by the same way with a crow bar. Find that issue.
