The back cover is more striking I still need to get that one. I have 2 of the 4 Conan treasury issues, and Conan is not one of the ones this dealer tends to have when I see him. -M

I sold off most of what I used to have years ago, aside from a few things (Beanworld, Elfquest, Bone, Go Girl, not a lot else) I'd really lost interest in comic books, gotten heavily into '60s-'70s music, collecting and reading in that area, but now after someone gave me (well, my BF who passed them on to me) an Avengers #1 1/2 and X-Men: The Hidden years #1 from the same month in 1999, I started up trying to find what would come next after those. Sadly no more retro half issues but some of the Flashback series of minus issues circa 1997 were very cool. Of course I got every Hidden years and the preview in X-Men Vol. 2 #94, which let to trying other Alan Davis and sundry X titles of the same period. Plus the Supergirl tv series got me into checking out some of the comic revivals of that character I had missed out on from the protoplasmic Lex Luthor paired copy one of the mini-series and regular title after that to the 2005 series which sort of led to the Byrne Doom Patrol run and the JLA lead-in to that. Whew!
Anyway... Classic purchases lately; a lot of mid to late '70s Marvels I either had or saw and wished I had. A lot of Amazing Spider-Man #181, 189-190, 194-195, 204-206, annuals #11-13, Astonishing Tales #29, Avengers #136-200, annuals #6-9, Black Panther #14-15, Champions #12-15, Creatures On the Loose (Man-Wolf) #30-37, Fantastic Four #196-221, annual #12-13, Incredible Hulk #213-213, annual #7-8, Iron Fist #14-15, Iron Man #195-139 plus annual #4, Logan's Run #6, Marvel Chillers (Tigra) #3-7, Marvel Premiere #25-26, 41-49, Marvel Presents (Guardians Of The Galaxy) #3-12, Marvel Team-Up #37, 53-98, annual #1, Marvel Two-In-One #48, 50, 51, 53, 56-66, annual #2, Ms. Marvel #1-23, Spider-Woman #1-12,25, Strange Tales (Warlock) #178-181, Supervillain Team-Up #14, Thor #271, 300, annual #6, Warlock #9-15, X-Men #101, 105, 107-109, 111-138 annual #3. Also various of the reprint titles of the same era. As you can imagine I am very very happy to have these again or for the first time! I think I did get some just before their prices rose because of movie news and such.

Thank you Icctrombone! What are a good at least fairly complete story run of issues of those Mighty Thors you posted? #17-21? They look like they would've been released 1999-2000. Also at least I know who Thanos is might be a good start point to further Thors. I think the last Thors I saw were Walt Simonson's Frog Of Thunder two-parter.

I haven't read the complete stories of that volume of Thor yet because I still lack a few issues but I believe that the John Romita jr run goes from 1-25. That includes the Thanos arc. I'm still Missing a few issues and I usually wait until I have it all to read them.

I think I did get some just before their prices rose because of movie news and such. I went through the process of rediscovery back in 2010, after 25 years away. That first 2 or 3 years of buying books I remembered from my youth, while simultaneously catching up on what had been happening in my absence, was the most I've enjoyed anything in a long time. It made a difference to have money to buy what I want, unlike when I was 14 years old. Enjoy the feeling while it lasts.

I think I did get some just before their prices rose because of movie news and such. Welcome to the CCF! Looking at your list of classic purchases is pretty much like looking through my comics collection. So much good stuff in there from a great era for comic books; I'm not the biggest Silver Age fan, although I can read it, but I really love the early Bronze Age, especially from Marvel.

Thanks to a thread on here I've also started on various '70s Deathlok Marvels. I also somehow forgot Captain Marvel (#35-62). The silver age is kind of mixed in for me as I did buy quite a few of the reprint tiles Marvel ran... I really liked the John Buscema Avengers and Sub-Mariner reprints and the Gil Kane/Romita Sr. Spider-Mans. I also had '60s reprint tiles of the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer and X-Men, and I was lucky enough to have a lot of the original '60s comics when so many of them were not that expensive (including the giant reprints Marvels and DC 80Pg. Giants). One old but from the outside regular seeming book shop had a lot of them in piles and in boxes from an even earlier owner, and although the proprietor there then had a price guide it was from the late '70s and this was in the early-mid '80s. I had mint '60s X-Men that I paid under $2 for, but it's funny, I was thinking about how amazed I was by a 1964 comic then, and it was say 1984... it seemed so ancient at the time, but that's like something from 1998 to us now! There were others who knew of this shop and had picked a lot of the absolutely amazing items I'm sure before i got there, but I asked and he said he had even more in a basement and would bring them just for me, so I got some pretty nice issues too, but I won't try to make anyone jealous, it was still mostly run of the mill '60s, like say Daredevil #21 or X-Men #31 or Adventure Comics #327 (which I remember off the top of my head), but they were like brand new.

I'm a bit late to this conversation, but I have to say, Beccabear, your taste in comics is impeccable. So much of the mainly '70s goodness you mentioned in your first post above are also in my personal sweet spot. Also interesting that your interest was rekindled by the excellent Avengers 1.5 and X-men: The Hidden Years - when I drifted back into comics (kind of like Pat T) back in 2005 after a roughly 15-year cold-turkey absense, and some crappy b&w scans of Hidden Years I found online were some of the earliest 'new' stuff I read (I've since acquired that entire series in reprint books). This, also, brought a smile to my face: (...) I was thinking about how amazed I was by a 1964 comic then, and it was say 1984... it seemed so ancient at the time (...) Yep, I remember feeling similarly in 1981 when I somehow acquired what was probably the oldest comic in my original - now long-gone - collection, an issue of Daredevil from late 1968 (the year I was born!). A comic book that was about the same age as I was seemed like this venerable historical artifact.

It is a nice feeling picking up books from your youth and the bonus is that , if you go to shows , it's relatively cheaper than buying it the first time around.
