Popular Post Silver Posted November 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2023 Since I collect predominantly runs of books, I am kind of curious which SA runs you guys have completed and which ones your working on? I finished Superboy and Brave and the Bold, and am still working on Sugar and Spike (that one is impossible). Have some Adventure, and Actions I would like to get, and am always upgrading. I started buying Three Mouseketeers but that one is more crazy than Sugar and Spike. OtherEric, FoggyNelson, Terry E. Gibbs and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MattTheDuck Posted November 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2023 During my original collecting "back in the day" I had a complete run of Thor #126 - #259 (which was the current issue in the Bronze Age when I took my first hiatus from collecting) and, once someone clued me in that Journey Into Mystery was Thor before Thor, I had also picked up JIM #112 - #125 along with a few others below #112. Generally lower-quality books. The JIM #93 was the "oldest" book in my collection for 45 years. KirbyJack, silverseeker, bc and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 At one point, I was a few later issues of X-Men away from a complete SA Marvel superhero collection. What remains is Fantastic Four (all) JIM/Thor (83 thru Simonson) TOS/Cap (58-Kirby’s 2nd run) Strange Tales (101 thru Ditko’s run) Two-Fisted Tales (all) Plop! (all), a bunch of other weird stuff, and micro-runs like ASM 1-4. Currently working on runs of Marvel Tales and MCIC so I still have readers after I sell the originals.

stormflora Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 From the cartoon collector side of the ring: I finished collecting the entire Chip 'n' Dale series earlier this week, and am now in the midst of collecting Tom & Jerry. Many issues are still in the mail, so I haven't taken any photos yet.

Popular Post Math Teacher Posted November 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2023 My runs include: Amazing Spider-Man #1 - #400, plus Amazing Fantasy #15 and Annuals #1 - #5. Fantastic Four #1 - #300, plus Annuals #1 - #6. Daredevil #1 - #200, plus Annuals #1 and #4. Atom #1 - #45, plus Showcase #34 - #36. Hawkman #1 - #27 (minus #25), plus Brave and the Bold #34 - #36 and #42 - #44. Metal Men #1 - #56, plus Showcase #37 - #40. These probably really don't count as runs, but I also have these: Avengers #1 - #16. Incredible Hulk #1 - #6. Journey into Mystery #83 - #92, plus a few additional issues. Sgt. Fury #1 - #10. Strange Tales #101 - #110, plus a few additional issues. Tales of Suspense #39 - #49, plus a few additional issues. Tales to Astonish #27, #35 - #44, plus a few additional issues. X-Men #1 - #16.

I am currently working on obtaining slabbed copies of Justice League of America #1 - #14, to go along with my Brave and the Bold #28 - #30. As for single issues, I would like to obtain a copy of Detective Comics #140 (first Riddler), Batman #171 and Batman #232, Giant-Size X-Men #1, and Incredible Hulk #181. The last three issues are replacement copies for books that I sold to help finance the purchase of Amazing Fantasy #15 and Showcase #4. bc, stormflora, OtherEric and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OtherEric Posted November 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2023 I think my only two runs that a) overlap the Silver Age and b) break 200 issues are the Dell Looney Tunes run (33-246 complete, 214 issues) and Adventure Comics (286-529, 244 issues. And yes, I have all the high number variants when the series relaunched.) If we're talking a more general run of a feature, I've got every LSH appearance from Adventure 247 to the Legion of Substitute Heroes turning up on the last page of JSA 7 last week.
