Hello to all on this forum.

 

I am obviously new here. I am just sort of getting back into comics. I had previously sold most of my books about 7 years ago, but had to at the time. I still have my full run of Cerebus and a few other books kicking aroud - not much to write home about though. My plan is to buy X-Men 94 - 143 in CGC 9.4 or better. Sort of to replace what I originally had. So far this month I have bought a GS1, 96, 98, 101, 109, 119, 130, 133, 135, 140 and 141 so I think I am off to a decent start. My wallet cannot take any more this month. All were in 9.4 except 130 which was in 9.6. I am amazed as to what CGC has done to market in terms of costing for higher end books. I cannot believe some of the price I have recently paid for these NM books. Unbelieveable!!! Anyway, I will keep at it.

 

I prefer mostly Bronze Age stuff from when I was a kid. I did have quite a few Alex Schomburg books (Black Terror, Human Torch, Exciting Comics etc), unfortunately they were sold quite a while back, but I love his covers and always will.

 

I am buying some new stuff again - some of the newer Marvel and DC tiles. I am not keen on much of the newer X-men titles - they don't appear to be too interesting or to hold a torch to the bronze age stuff - anyone have any suggestions on the X-men front for current reading. I do read Flamming Carrot (the new Dark Horse stuff). By the way, I am looking for a number 30 if anyone has one from the original series.

 

Anyway, if anyone has any other thoughts on good reads, please let me know what you think is good these days.

 

Glad to be back in comics...

WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!

 

I would suggest the Bronze section first.....and post a few threads of interest to you. I'm cranking out some Education threads with lots of good information that the board has offered in the past that may be another good launching point.
