I'm just one isse shy of becoming a total Marvel Zombie at this point: Amazing Spider-Man #5 ($.12) Avengers #1 ($.12) Fantastic Four #19 ($.12) Journey into Mystery #96 ($.12) Justice League of America #22 ($.12) Sgt. Fury #3 ($.12) Strange Tales #113 ($.12) Tales of Suspense #46 ($.12) Tales to Astonish #48 ($.12) X-Men #1 ($.12) ...and once again I'm forced to turn to crime to obtain the quarter that will net me the FF Annual. Cei-U! I summon my cheapskate dad!Hey, I resemble that remark!  |

Amazing Spider-Man #5 - A lot of the early Dr Doom appearances in FF are so goofy! (Like #10 and #16.) But I’ve always loved Spidey #5, even if Ditko’s Dr Doom looks like the metal parts aren’t marching up quite right.
The Avengers #1 - Yeah. Can’t resist this.
Batman #158 - This one is so crazy! One of the best Ace stories.
Fantastic Four Annual #1
Marge’s Little Lulu #169
My Greatest Adventure #82 - Rita Farr!
Patsy and Hedy Annual #1
Tales to Astonish #48
I think I’m two cents over. I’ll rob a bank!

It's an all Marvel and DC superhero month!
Action Comics #304 (could be fun)
Amazing Spider-Man #5 (Doom vs Spidey? Shut up and take my 12 cents!)
Avengers #1 (Time to see if all these characters can work together in a team book)
Flash #139 (I love evil doppleganger stories)
Justice League of America #22 (I also love team ups featuring old characters teaming with newer ones)
Tales of Suspense #46 (More Iron Man)
X-Men #1 (Cool cover, this might have potential)
Fantastic Four Annual #1 (Not a huge Sub-Mariner fan, but it's an annual, there should be some good stuff in there)
Hmm, Not enough to buy one more book, guess I'll spend the rest on some candy.

I haven't done this in quite a while. We'll just assume I was spending a lot of money on books.
Amazing Spider-Man #6
Mad #82
The rest would go to SF digests or books from the SFBC.

Okay, here we go for August 1963. Adventure # 313 I love that my favorite Substitute, Night Girl, is included. DC, 12 cents Brenda Starr #1 Brenda and her mystery man! I loved the daily comic strip, so I can't resist this Dell, 12 cents Fantastic Four #20 Marvel, 12 cents Flash Annual #1 I love Giants and I love covers that have a lot of panels, esp. side panels--this one fits the bill. Plus the Golden Age Star Sapphire? Yessss! DC, 25 cents Forbidden Worlds #116 Cleopatra? Yeah, I'll buy this one. Btw the Taylor-Burton-Harrison film had been released earlier in 1963. ACG, 12 cents Lois Lane #44 DC, 12 cents Metal Men #4 DC, 12 cents Tales to Astonish #49 Marvel, 12 cents Wonder Woman #141 DC, 12 cents Total: $1.21And since I know that every time I take one of these time travelling trips I end up buying a Giant comic, I've stocked my pockets with pennies. Enough to last me for several more months of buying 8 12-cent comics and 1 Giant comic.     |

August, 1963Bought this then, so I'd have to buy it again. Got it right after my back-to-school haircut. My first J'onn J'onzz story, and I've been a fan ever since.  I would therefore have to have bought Brave and the Bold 50, because I also loved Green Arrow. GI Combat 102 because who could resist this cover?  Adventure Comics #313 because I really enjoyed the Legion. Our Army at War #135, because even then I recognized and was impresssed by Joe Kubert's art. Superman 164, which I seem to remember buying, but would have if I could have anyway.  Metal Men 4 looks exciting!  Combat 10 checks lots of boxes for nine-year-old Hal Lad.  I liked "The Rifleman" on TV. I think I'll try the Rifleman comic, despite the typical bland Gold Key licensed property cover. ![]() And one more? I'll try something new. How about Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes #138? Great Gold Key painted cover!

Amazing Spider-Man #6 (How can Stan and Steve keep coming up with these villains?)
Brave and the Bold #50 (Dont know much about this Manhunter from Mars, but it looks like an interesting story nonetheless)
Doctor Solar #6 (Gold Key keeps suckering me in with these awesome covers, good thing the interiors are good too)
Fantastic Four #20 (Another interesting villain)
Magnus Robot Fighter #4 (another painted cover beckons)
Strange Tales #114 (heard about this Captain America guy, time to see what he's all about)
Tales of Suspense #47 (I'm starting to like this Iron Man guy)
Flash Annual #1 (yeah, it's all reprints and takes $.25 of my allowance, but it's 80 pages and a good intro to Flash history)
Thats all I can afford, unless I can get money doing chores for the neighbors.
