I think this was a period of my life when I wasn't buying comics. I usually chart My comic buying years by the Avengers issues. I think the last new ,off the stands, issue I bought was # 125 and I came back around #155. That's when I saw discovered GIRLS were more fun.

Ready to return for my last year of college, and I picked up Swamp Thing, the JLA 100-pager, the Batman 100-pager (he meets the Shadow!), the Superboy 100-pager, Kamandi, Weird Western, and Adventure with the Spectre. Only 23 titles that month for DC. In August of '73, DC published 39.
Over at Marvel, I bought Amazing Adventures with Killraven, Conan, and Savage Sword. Marvel put out 42 titles that month down from 45 the year before. Bad times for DC...

The only one I recognise as something I read at the time is Plop #8. I think one of my brothers must have been buying these, though neither was as big a fan of comics as I was, because I know I was still several months away from getting back into them.

On sale in May 1975: Mike's News-stand This is around when I started getting back into buying comics after a few years away from it, for the most part. I would have been 13 years old, just finishing grade 8. As I remember, it wasn't until the summer, when school was out, that I really began, but these books from May must have still been on the stands locally a month or two later: Daredevil #124 - DD was one of my favourite characters from my (even) earlier comic-reading days. Nice Colan artwork with Klaus Janson inking, though not up to the standard of his earlier work on the series. Still good enough to make up for the no better than just OK story. Defenders #26 - I think I bought this mainly out of curiosity and because I liked the cover, as the Defenders were created during my time out of comics and thus not familiar to me. But the Defenders title and writer Steve Gerber quickly became favourites. Marvel Treasury Edition #6 (Doctor Strange) - it was a coverless copy of Dr. Strange #4 that got me back into comics, so I jumped on this. I think it manages to sample just about every artist who had had a substantial run on the character up to that point: Ditko, Everett, Severin, Adkins, Colan, Brunner. The back cover is one of my favourite Dr. Strange images, emblematic to me of the whole Strange Universe:  |

Looking over it, I only had 3 books from that month as a kid....
Batman 266-a great gypsy fortune teller cover featuring Catowman...
Invaders 1-loved that book as a kid...
Marvel Double Feature 11 featuring classic reprints of Cap and Iron Man form Tales of Suspense-what always confused me though was they reprinted the Cap story from a different issue of TOS than the Iron Man story, I would think it would have been easier to have both reprints come form the same source, but whatever they wanted to do...I enjoyed the heck out of them. Of those three, I still only have the Invaders, but a different copy now. My original lost the cover and then started losing pages a long time ago and eventually got replaced.
What I currently have from the month in one form or another is...
1st Issue Special 5
Beowulf 3
Conan the Barbarian 53
Deadly Hands of Kung Fu 13
Detective Comics 450
Doctor Strange 9
Ghost Rider 13
Invaders 1
Justice League of America 121
Kull and the Barbarians 2
Marvel Spotlight 23
Marvel Treasury 6 (Dr. Strange)
Master of Kung Fu 31
Phantom Stranger 38
Power Man 26
Richard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter 3
Savage Tales 11
Skull the Slayer 1
Stalker 2
Supernatural Thrillers 14
Wonder Woman 219
Wulf the Barbarian 4

I want that Marvel Treasury Edition! Hard to believe that Kirby was already off of Kamandi by this point, as well as the fact that Super Villain Team-up and Moon Knight were just getting started. While I wasn't even alive yet, I do currently possess the following comics from this month: Batman #266 Creepy #72 Detective Comics #450 Dracula Lives #13 Doctor Strange #9 Giant-Size Man-Thing #5 Incredible Hulk #190 Justice League of America #121 Man-Thing #20 Master of Kung Fu #31 Planet of the Apes #10 Werewolf by Night #32 And the best/worst DC cover EVER: Wonder Woman #219  |
