On a total whim, I just bought all six issues of the Warlock mini-series, which appears to reprint all of Jim Starlin's acclaimed mid-70s run. I got the lot for under a tenner. Have I made a terrible mistake or have I lucked out? Nice!
Is it just the Warlock series reprinted or is it stuff from Strange Tales also?

Icctrombone, Man, you really poured it on here and a nice collection of Comics in the past and especially like your haul of Captain Marvel here. Nicely done and thanks for sharing it.

Yeah, the early stuff from Strange Tales is there as well. I got these through the post on Friday and with the higher quality Baxter paper, they look really nice -- the artwork really "pops".

The cool thing about when they reprint the Starlin Warlocks is that they include all chapters. The Strange Tales issues , Warlock , Avengers Annual #7, MTIO Annual # 2 plus the MTU that had Spider-man. I have the originals and I read it in the Masterworks HC format last year and it was just great. I'm such a Starlin groupie, I might even buy an omnibus version if it's released.

I made a list of about 20 comics I wanted to get over the summer. It's mostly comics from the last five years, a few issues here and there that I need to complete some collections. Three issues of New 52 Catwoman, eight issues of New 52 Birds of Prey, one issue of Dejah Thoris. I missed the first issue of World War Tank Girl, so that's on the list. Stuff like that. But I did include a few issues of Marvel's Frankenstein comics from the 1970s. I've been buying back issues of this series since about 1980. So it's getting close to 40 years that I've been working on this 18-issue series, and that's ridiculous. So I ordered these two issues a few days ago: So now I just have to get #13 and I'll have them all!

Quick story- I had all the originals for years and my step son went to the attic with his friends and they were all stolen, along with some key Avengers issues. This happened about 4 years ago before the Guardians movie made the issues jump in price. I was able to rebuy them for about 2 dollars each. To buy those issues now would be a pretty penny.

Thanks, but everything was replaced. Such is the life of a guy taking on a son at an advanced age. Things are better, though.

I love those Baxter reprints, still have mine, some of the few to avoid the great cull of'91. Lord I miss Starlin doing good comics...

Sure, they're available at the library and I read them already... but it's ridiculous that there would be holes in my Lt. Blueberry collection! Gazing at the Giraud (Moebius) art alone is worth the price of entry.
