I treated myself to a used copy of the MAD About the Sixties collection over Christmas. I've only read up to 1963 so far, but it's already a really great read. It's very funny, obviously, with some great artwork by the likes of Wally Wood, Mort Drucker, Don Martin etc, and is a wonderful window onto the age. I had been looking for a reasonably priced secondhand copy of this for ages, so I'm glad to have finally tracked one down. Just need to get the Seventies and Eighties volumes now.

Today's haul. Only six more Nocenti issues to go. Nice pickups. My favorite run of the character.

We took a trip into Columbus today and after all you can eat pancakes at IHOP I went to the Half Price books near the OSU campus and picked up a few things, followed by a trip to Big Fun for some vintage toys (see the toy acquisition thread for pics of the toys). At Half Price here was the haul... I finally managed to track down some Love & Rockets trades... Vol. 2 and 9 snagged a copy of Lone Wolf & Cub Vol. 4 and an issue of Doomsday +1 by Byrne from the dollar bins. Also from the dollar bin, a pair of Walt Simonson Orion issues I needed and some various Spirit comics including #1 and 2 of the Matt Wagner series for Dynamite which I missed... and from the $1 kid comics box, I snagged a bunch of issues of Justice League Unlimited based on the Timm animated series... not a huge haul but some stuff I am happy to have. -M

I still have a couple of stores around here to check, but if nothing turns up I'll let you know.

Love that Elektra series. The art is downright trippy and sometimes a bit much but I love it.

In November, I went to Quebec City and spent quite a bit of time going to comic book stores and book shops in search of the right souvenir. Which I eventually found, for one dollar Canadian: This is the Qubecois reprint. Interestingly, the printer didn't just do Marvel books, they had the licenses for books from several companies, including Archie and Charlton among others, as shown by the ad on the back cover: Earlier today, I also stopped at a local place and dug these out of the $1 bin:

Got the following as a Secret Santa gift. Love getting comics as gifts! Also got Dr. Strange #47 from the same volume. Picked up this beauty (did I post already? If so apologies) Finally, picked up Web of Spider-Man #118 and 119. They came in a bundle which I hope to sell off stuff. These books are part of the dreaded clone saga but Ben Reilly's costume always was a plus for me. I have never read much into this era but the covers on these two are cool so I am making an exception to my "don't venture much into the clone saga era Spidey" rule.

I just received these and now have the Boys from 7-72. Very dark, very brutal and at times very disturbing. But I still rifle through a copy when I spot one.
