I picked up Strange Adventures #205-213 and Batman And Grendal: Devil's Dance while browsing during Free Comic Book Day. Well, in the latter I didn't actually buy Batman and Grendal, when I got to the register and was handing over the books the guy said to me, "Woo, that's a bit damaged huh?" It had a small flaw on the cover that looked like it once had a sticker on it that was latter pulled off but it was only 50 cents and the interior was perfectly readable so it seemed worth more than fair for 50 cents and I told him as much to which he replied, "It'd be a crime to even sell it at that!" I laughed,thanked him and forked over the cash and left with out even glancing at the receipt. When I got home carrying my bag my girl friend groaned and asked how much I spent this time and for the first time I read the receipt to tell her how much I paid and noticied that Batman Grendal was not listed at all.

When he said it was a crime I thought he was joking but he evidently took it literally and that floored me. This was my first time to the shop so it's not like he owed me or anything so it really blew me away. Except for back issues, I've been nearly 100% digital for three years now but I'm thinking that might change now.

They were a great find and the price was even better as it worked out to be about 25 bucks an issue when you average it out.

That's terrific. SA #205 alone set me back $20 twenty years ago. Then I got it home and found the cover to be detached.  It's a great book. Love the Infantino art. What a contrast to the Neal Adams work that was right around the corner.

I bought this lot of Godzilla comics this weekend. Can't wait for the new movie that comes out in a few weeks. These should help contain some of that excitement for a bit.

Ha I wish had the singles for that series, I picked up the trade a few years back and loved it. I'm a huge Doug Moench fan so I was surprised to see his name attached but reading the books you can definitely feel his touch in it.

The only thing I thought was weird was why Godzilla didn't look like Godzilla. I mean the cartoon was the same way, but it just struck me as odd. 

Haven't picked up much lately.  I did just pay for a few Cole books that I should get in soon though.  I'm slacking in my scanner duties.  Been busy building the new garden and dealing with that.  

However I also just got in Cry for Dawn #8.  I've owned a #2 for years, then I was given a pair of other issues recently so I'm deciding to hunt them down.  #4 came in a few weeks ago - always loved that cover!  #1 will be a bit of a pain, but I think I can find reasonable copies of 5, 6, & 9.

The only issues I have are the final two, which features the fight mentioned here.

I got #23 signed by Herb Trimpe at a show a few years ago. Whenever I meet a creator, I always have themsign something Avengers related if they worked on anything to do with the Avengers. For Trimpe, who never pencilled Avengers himself, that included Godzilla #23.
