Djedi Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I wasn't exactly sure how to word this, but I mean things like Christmas, Halloween, angels, demons, witches, vampires, mummies, gods/myths, etc. These are just examples. It can be something specific such as covers that have a photorealism art style or something broader like covers that make you laugh.

Get Marwood & I Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 My overarching theme is "....that no one else collects". Seemingly. I also collect "Flying over Niagra Falls in a barrel whilst fixing a loose fascia board with a mastic bonding gun" covers. It's quite a small group AJD and lizards2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think there are a couple of threads on here, or maybe they're part of larger threads. "Fish to the face" and so forth. Djedi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThothAmon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The overarching theme of my collection is cyan, magenta, yellow and black. bc, Lazyboy and BA773 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themagicrobot Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I collect comics with covers that don't have images of Gorillas on them and I collect comics that have the letters "DC" in the top corner. I also collect America's Best Comics but am struggling to find a copy of No 78 from May 1960. Lazyboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlextherobot Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 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) MAR1979 and ThothAmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehorseshoe Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Anyone still have the link to the “lady in the white dress covers” in the late 60s and early 70s DC horror books?

circuitryusa Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I collect my family tree with Amazing Spider-Man books... right now just 3, but as my family grows, so will the display. My wife and son have their birthday months displayed in 9.8, and mine in 9.4 (can't be that cocky to give myself a 9.8 .... plus it's pricey to get 9.8's in my birth year ) ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) One theme I wish I’d done at the start of my collecting, but which is too pricey on some items now, is star field covers. I just think the dots against the blackness of space looks great. Edited August 29, 2023 by Ken Aldred Djedi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 No mastic gun in sight for @Get Marwood & I but we do have Niagara Falls and a barrel. Djedi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collecting "Flying over Niagra Falls in a barrel in advance of preparing a turkey dinner" books could be an interesting subset.... What do you think of it so far @Djedi?
