EastEnd1 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 The bagged bundles of comics are pretty straightforward... just a group of books held together by a larger plastic bag... ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Oh, and lastly, at the bottom of each box was an envelope to mail back your next order (the internet not being quite so ubiquitous back then)! ADAMANTIUM, F For Fake and oldmilwaukee6er 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Ok, on to the comics! By popular request, starting this month, I'll be showing a lot more comics from each box. Apologies in advance if some of this comes across as drek, but I'm trying to give a diverse flavor of what was being offered back then. To keep the flow of images going, I'm also going to defer posting graded versions until they actually come back from CGC later on. I will be sure to post them though, just not contemporaneously with the raw version. Btw, if anyone is interested in any of the graded comics I've posted thus far, I'm going to be listing them in my eBay store in June. You can find them by using the search term "Westfield".

EastEnd1 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 (edited) And yet another Spider-Man #1 too... (though this one looks like a whacked version!)... Edited May 20 by EastEnd1 ADAMANTIUM and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 This month's Wizard was a smorgasbord of bagged fun... an AOL dial-up CD, a free Universe X special Wizard edition comic, and a free Adventures @ eBay mini-comic! oldmilwaukee6er, pmpknface and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 But my absolute favorite treat from that month's Wizard is this fantastic capture of Stan Lee in a Superman costume!! oldmilwaukee6er and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are just 1-shots, kinda warped / different takes. Notice it's "MarvelS Comics" at the top, not Marvel. EastEnd1 and BA773 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEnd1 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Looks like I had high hopes for CrossGen titles... alas it didn't work out. Though I hear the company was acquired by Marvel later on so there's always hope for a resurgence! ADAMANTIUM and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Now this purchase hits home for me as I was a corporate tax advisor working at one of the Big Four accounting firms at the time. I was also, and remain, a big Beatles fan, so I'm sure George Harrison's "Taxman" was strumming through my head as I searched that month's catalog. Can't say I've read this comic, but if it makes tax advisors bad-asses, I'm on board! ADAMANTIUM, oldmilwaukee6er and pmpknface 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEnd1 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 On occasion, Westfield would offer signed copies of certain comics. I'd imagine artists and writers, especially at smaller publishers, were happy to participate as Westfield had a pretty big subscriber base. In this case, the presence of Kurt Busiek's signature on a new Image title rang opportunity to me so four copies were ordered. Yet another speculative purchase that didn't work out... pmpknface, ADAMANTIUM and F For Fake 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
