my self-defined wwbn/man-thing keys run 0

[Straw-Man]

ok, so is it wrong to fall for a mini-movie?   understand that i knew next to nothing about wwbn or the man-thing past being aware they existed in the bronze [and after] world.  then i watched the show.   and watched it again.  and yet again, and---you get the point.

geek that i am, i decided i'd get the keys relative to the two characters with a 9 on the front.  with admittedly no real experience, i had to self-define said keys.  anyhoo, i've been posting some in new bronze, some in picture frames, etc.    here, in one fell swoop, are all of 'em plus a few outliers, with an outlier first...

since i'm a comic collector, not a mag collector, i didn't just HAVE to have a savage tales 1, but i do have the two spectacular spideys from the 60's as part of my asm run, so i figured i'd get one, i just didn't have to spend the loot for a 9'sumpin' one.

and functional equivalent for the m-t.

[Straw-Man]

and this one is such a lesser volume, a nice raw did the trick.

Beautiful mini-set, BP! Nothing essential left to add, but a nice Hulk #197 might work if you’re still itching to add to it. (Only Man-Thing by Wrightson cover, AFAIK)

[Straw-Man]

the raw vol. 2/1 came with a li'l raw lot.  here are the rest of the aforementioned outliers.

p.s.   blu-rays of color and b&w versions on way to me now, to watch some more.  and more.

If loving that WWBN Special is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I think one might argue that Fear #19 is also a "key" Man-Thing book, but it's because it's also the first appearance of Howard the Duck.

^was just going to post that too. Probably the best Man-Thing issue.

I couldn't swear to it, but I think that's the first time I heard that a "first appearance" could be valuable so I bought a second copy.

now i'm noticing that man-thing 1 is the duck's 2nd app.!!

[Straw-Man]

so ignorant of this era, that i just had to go edit my posts and title to note "wwbn" instead of wbn for the wolf.   lawd.

[Straw-Man]

NOW it's done, unless i grab a hulk 197.  not compelled by the ast. tales 19, cuz that's a duck key to me, not a key for one of my new-fave monsters!
