More directly funnybooky... Got a copy of the reprint edition of Odkin, Son of Odkin by the great Wallace Wood. Just a bit less than $3 including shipping. This came last night. It's in way better shape than I expected given the description. Didn't get a chance to delve into it...I may wait to find the first book.

Got tired of waiting to see if Marvel was going to add both of these runs to Unlimited. I had pieces of them both in single issues but was impatient to read (or reread them as I read them from a friend years ago), so I ordered these two collections of the McGregor Panther... -M

Purchased this lot off eBay. Had ASM #37 but sold it. This copy looks to be a little nicer than the one I had (as it was missing a chunk of the cover).

Went away for the weekend and stopped in a couple comic book shops, plus several antique stores. Stuff from the 50 cent bin - highlights are Megaton #2, which is the first appearance of Savage Dragon, Airboy #5 with the classic Dave Stevens cover, and Marvel Age #54 with the Spider-man wedding preview. I also got several issues of Night Force, which brings me close to a complete run for 50 cents per issue, plus a couple other weird odds and ends: Found these at an antique store for $2 each - they are from 1974, and seem to be very early for insisd industry stuff. There's lots of cool material in these magazines, with maybe the first in depth looks at some serious rights issues that would eventually reshape how the companies related to the creators - including essays by Neal Adams and Steve Dtiko about who really owns original art, and a plea by Jerry Siegel to the fans asking them to support his upcoming lawsuit against DC over Superman rights: Finally, the belles of the ball. Josie #46 is the 2nd appearance of the Pussycasts and their first cover (#45 has a terrible, generic gag cover), while Lobo #1 is of course the first solo comic starring a black hero. I was happy to liberate these from the comic stores where I found them:

Ditko's take on original art is interesting.

I just ordered Detective Comics #349! I only have to get two more and I'll have every issue of Detective Comics from #301 to the current day. Back in the 1970s when I first came across Blockbuster (he was in that incarnation of the Secret Society of Super-Villains that went to Earth-2 to kill the JSA), I didn't really like him much. But now that I've read most of his Silver Age appearances, he's grown on me a lot. I'm not sure if I've read this one in Detective #349, but I'm looking forward to it. If I had read it, it would have probably been in a Batman Showcase volume from the library, and I don't remember it. I mean, Blockbuster is no Poison Ivy or Catman or Johnny Witts, but he's OK for a Silver Age Batman villain.
