Been enjoying your Youtube vids. Quite entertaining sir. Though I do admit the Wonder Woman dress up video was a tad bit disturbing. 😉

I've had multiple people unsubscribe after watching that video! Hey, what can you do. 

Been on a bit of a buying binge the past couple of weeks. One of our big LCS usually has their annual anniversary sale in April (been in business 48 years now), but due to COVID-19, they delayed it until late July/early August. Big discounts on everything in store, and with my birthday coming up, I decided to spend a little of the cash I knew I would be getting early. I also spent some time at another LCS two weekends ago (after leaving the first one I mentioned) and bought a good number of $1 books.

Primary purchases were these:
Last upgrade issue for my Captain America run between #150 and 200. My original copy has a staple out at the top of the book.  This is a little over-graded by them (they have it as F/VF, but it's definitely just F), but for $4.80 ($8, minus 40%), I'm OK with it.


Got this new for $7.50


Got these from their Used TPB shelves for $4.50 each:


And these are the last two Fantastic Four issue I plan on ever buying.  There is another Epic Collection coming out in October that collects issues #87 - 104, so these were the only two issues missing for me to have the entire first series in one form or another.  The #106 is a little under-graded at F, the #107 about right at F-; paid $9 apiece.


Now, the cheap books, all between $.50 and $1, except the Moon Knight, which was an upgrade copy.
Batman #450
Detective Comics #533, 580-581, 603-607, 609 & Annual 1989
The Flash#285, 302, 307, 314-315, 317-321, 326, 331, 334 & 342 (I buy any $2 or less pre-Crisis Flash I find that I don't already own)
Fury of Firestorm #38
Green Arrow #67-74 & 76-80 (done with this once I find #75)
Jonah Hex #30, 46, 66, 68-69 & 76
Suicide Squad #2, 7-9, 11, 17-19 & 26 (getting closer to my goal of 1-50)

Amazing Adventures #39 (final issue)
Dazzler #36 (villain is Tatterdemalion, one of those forgotten Marvel villains that I love)
Iron Man #225 (upgrade copy)
Machine Man #10 (not sure why, but it was only $1)
Marvel Fanfare #5 & 41
Marvel Premiere #54 (Caleb Hammer story)
Marvel Team-Up #76, 110 & 150 (final issue)
Moon Knight #32, for $2.40 (this series is starting to get harder to find, so I'm glad I have no more that I need, upgrade or otherwise, to get)
ROM #32 (has Mystique, Destiny, and 3rd appearance of Rogue in it)

Probably going to call it quits for a little while now on buying books (outside of Epic Collections and cheap Hellblazer TPBs) and will actually likely start culling things from the collection that I'm never going to read again (lots of 90's X-Men mini-series, maybe some 90's low-level series like Sleepwalker and Silver Sable, possibly even my complete run of Excalibur) to make some room.  Also might need a new bookcase, as I am getting close to running out of room for my ever-expanding number of collected editions and TPBs.

Love that Cap & Falcon cover. I'm a sucker for covers with the villain looming large like that.

Oh you are gonna enjoy these Stan/Jack issues. The start up of S.H.I.E.L.D with the intro of one of my fave duo's Mentallo and the Fixer!

An Ebay purchase came in today-- been waiting on this one, as I collect Jay Scott Pike covers, and this is a knockout Pike w/Giordano inks, and a very strong resemblance to Pike's "Dolphin" from Showcase #79 from a couple of months later. Best thing is that it is in way better condition than was originally described. Pretty pleased with this one.

Waited over a month to finally get this. The seller wanted 12.99 and I offered 9 dollars and got it. Low grade but intact.
