I have some excess items, I'm in Canada so the postage could be a problem as well as wait time, but here goes...
Creatures On the Loose #29, around VF condition with 'value stamp', just not into the character Thonngor.
Iron Fist #15, yes that one with Byrne X-Men... but it's GD-VG. Supple, tight at staples, but a lot of wear to the back cover (though clean) and a weird bit of smudge-wrinkle on the lower right of the Iron Fist logo on the cover). It was a close call but I decided I really wanted a better copy.
Fandom Zone #1, a b&w 1982 photocopy fanzine I got multiple copies of in a box when a store closed, has an exclusive John Byrne interview by an art college associate and one death's head bust full page drawing inked by someone else.
X-Force #14 (1992), Professor Xavier And The X-Men #1 (1995) both direct editions and like new.
JLA #81, 82.
I'll add more here, have some Kitchen Sink Spirit magazines and comic sized ones, and various odds and ends from the middle '80s from all kinds of companies.
What I am wanting? FN+ or better preferably newsstand editions of these '70s comics...
Fantastic Four #191 or earlier (working my way backwards)
Marvel Super-Heroes #65 or earlier (Hulk reprints)
Marvel Triple Action #35 or earlier (Avengers reprints)
Mighty Thor #17-28, 1999-2000 direct or newsstand

Creatures On the Loose #29, around VF condition with 'value stamp', just not into the character Thongor. There's a neat Easter Egg in that issue. Look at the big panel around the 12th page of the story, where Thongor enters some elaborate chamber. On the lower half of the page there's a message hidden in the art. It's in mirror-image letters, and in Spanish. The artist was Vicente Alcazar, and he snuck this past everybody. About ten years ago I met Roy Thomas, who edited this issue, at a con in Seattle and showed him the message. He'd never seen it or heard about it before. A few years later he published my scan of the message in Alter Ego. I can post the scan here if there's interest, but it risks hijacking the thread. |

I did a Google search but could not find it. |

Oh yeah, I see some backwards lettering under an alien wall mural on a wall 'Esta Vineta Se La Dedico A Ea'? Very hard to make out, kind of blobby in places. Page 23 of the 32inside numbered pages. This Vineta Is Dedicated To Ea? I must be missing a letter or two or three or even see the wrong ones? Viñetas de cómics? Ea is part of Neal? Neal Adams?  Ah, I think I'm comprende-ing! |

You got it! "Esta viñeta se la dedico a Neal". The 'N' and the 'L' are obscured a bit. When Vicente Alcazar arrived in the US, Neal Adams helped him break into the comics industry, and even collaborated with him on a few stories for Warren. So Vicente thanked him here. "Viñeta" is the Spanish word for what we call a panel. Seems to be related to the word "vignette". So the message is something like "This panel I dedicate to Neal". Here it is, if I did this right: |

I'm on vacation this week and one of the things I'm doing is cleaning out my attic and throwing stuff out. I will be going through comics and books and will post whatever has to go on this thread. My only caveat to sending books is that I can't send anything out of the US. edit: I don't necessarily want anything in return, I just want the books/comics to get a good home. But if you have something I need...  |

Turns out I have a couple of extra Darwyn Cooke variants from DC, I wound up with doubles of 2 of them, if anyone is interested. First the Batman and Robin cover (issue 37)  and second the Supergirl cover (also issue 37)  if anyone is interested in either or both of these, drop me a PM. -M |

Bit obscure but I would like to get issues #1, 2, 4 of the Balder the Brave mini series that came out during Simonson's run on Thor.

-Magnus Robot Fighter
- Metal Men
- Space Family Robinson
- Twilight Zone
- Archie (any of the older 60s stuff like Laugh, Pep, Archie and Me, etc)
- Donald Duck
Also got a ton of Gold Key comic digests.

Just out of curiosity, which Gold Key digests? Or are there too many to list?

A lot are Disney ones. Some Donald Duck, one Turok. All have 50 cents on them, not sure if this helps. I could post a pic or let me know what ya looking for and I can see if I have it.

Hmm, not interested in anything specific, I just like digests - I'd love to see a picture if you have one (if not, don't go to the trouble). Otherwise, though, I don't want to lead you on; I don't live the US so sending anything to me is out of the question - it would be way too expensive.

Ha! Nope, unfortunately. Postage from Canada to Europe is just as pricey as it is from the US - as I've learned to my chagrin when browsing around on eBay.
