I go alphabetic by title. Thus, Amazing Spider-Man is filed under "A"; Peter Parker, The Spec. . .is filed under "P", etc.
There are exceptions. For example, Special Marvel Edition #15 is filed with Master of Kung-Fu just so that I can find it easily.

I just donated to two out of state Senatorial races. Idaho is a lost cause, but there are close races that are important. This is a good idea. I'm also in a solidly red state where the only thing worth less than my vote is my opinion. I'm gonna try your method. Thanks!

Angela Lansbury is still with us. She's 94.

I believe there is still some Golden Age child actor ("Baby" something or other) who is still alive, but the name eludes me. Are you thinking of Rose Marie? She was a child actor who later co-starred on the Dick Van Dyke Show. She passed in 2017.

I took six years to collect MoKF. I paid around $30 for the first issue, but no more than $3.00 ea. for every subsequent issue, and some were had for as little as $0.25.

RIP to Peter Greene, co-founder of Fleetwood Mac. He was 73. -M That's a shame. I really like his era of Fleetwood Mac. I remember hearing his version of Black Magic Woman, liking it, and then learning he wrote it!

Plastic Man is notoriously hard to kill. He survived being frozen and shattered into pieces during the Obsidian Age story line (a time-travel yarn). He remained conscious in this state for thousands of years until the JLA was able to reassemble him.
He later had his heart torn out in Blackest Night, and then got better.
This is not a recommendation for either story.

I reckon if you were to transplant the brain of Doctor Doom into Gray Gargoyle, then Gray Gargoyle would be unbeatable. Don't take that for granite.

I don't know what they did with Elektra... did that not cheapen Daredevil #181 at all? I think it did. Frank Miller thought it did at some point. But I don't think I've read any non-Miller Elektra, so my opinion may just be fanboy whining.

I don't think I've read a story where he fought the real thing, but he hallucinated Juggernaut in IH #314 so it must have happened at some point. Incredible Hulk #172. Hulk manages to remove Juggernaut's helmet and slam his head into a mountain. Then some of the X-Men show up to subdue Juggernaut.

[Collectible prices are a product of demand. A mention of Elvis makes the book desirable for a number of people who do not collect comics per se, but do collect Elvis memorabilia, so more people wan the book. Greater demand, greater prices. It may not be more desirable to comic collectors because of the Elvis mention, but it creates demand for the book outside the normal market of comic collectors so sellers can realize a higher price on it. Sucks ofr the comic collector, great for the seller. Can confirm. Chamber of Chills (Harvey) #19 is crazy expensive. The cover art was later used for a Misfits record, so it's comic fans AND Misfits fans seeking the book.
