It's Top Shelf Friday time!
So show us a comic (or comic-related or comic-tangential item) that you own that you believe should be on the Top Shelf. It can be because you think the comic is important or valuable, because it's a sentimental favorite or one of your favorite stories, because it's signed and holds great memories for you, just has a really cool cover or strikes your fancy or is just plain cool-whatever the reason show us that comic. Any pic of that comic will do, but bonus points if you can show us the actual copy you own.
This week's pick, coming off of Cimmerian September where my focus was largely on Conan, I am going with a nostalgia pick, this was the first issue of Conan I ever got and my intro to the character, acquired as the middle comics in a polybagged 3 pack of Marvels I got from a trip to the grocery store with my folks (last week's pick was also a middle comic of a 3 pack I got as a kid). I present Conan the Barbarian #76 with the Diamond Box trade dress...
Show is what you got for us this week...
