More from the same LCS as the above post (dollar and fiddy cent) 
Like Coolsville, man... that Top Cat issue is the cat's meow! I can almost hear the voice of Arnold Stang impersonating Phil Silvers...

And based on an underrated cartoon, too! |

I had a great time at last Saturday's Grit City Comics Show, mostly due to the sheer entertainment of watching my nieces Karly and Kassie go on huge spending sprees (they spent around $170... each!). I didn't due too badly, though, thanks to my buddy Randy of Randy's Readers and his boothful of "everything for $1" (and to my last-minute discovery that I could add $50 to my con budget). Not only that but, thanks to the generosity of a friend of his, Randy was giving away 10 comics of your choosing with every purchase. So I ended up coming home with the following:
DC
Adventure Comics (1938) 427, 441, 443, 451 (latter three feature Aparo's Aquaman)
Sword of Sorcery (1973) 2, 4 (way past time this Fafhrd and Gray Mouser fan picked up their first comic book series)
Sword of The Atom (1983) 1-2
DELL
Nukla (1964) 4 (hey, it was only a buck)
ECLIPSE
Crossfire (1984) 2, 7-10, 19 (reeeeally been itching to reaquire this series)
Crossfire and Rainbow (1986) 2-3
GOLD KEY
Mighty Samson (1964) 9, 11, 16 (already had #1 so I'm now 20% of the way to recollecting the original 20-issue run)
Tarzan of the Apes (1963) 156, 160, 164, 167, 173, 178-179, 183, 186 (all DuBois/Manning adaptations of the ERB novels)
HARVEY
Double-Dare Adventures (1966) 1 (hey, it was only a buck 2.0)
MARVEL
Micronauts (1984) 5, 18-19 (three books closer to finishing this series)
Official Marvel Index to The Amazing Spider-Man, The (1985) 1
Official Marvel Index to Marvel Team-Up, The (1986) 4
Solomon Kane (1985) 1
plus
The Original Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes, Vol. 2: Wonder Woman (a very nice reissue of Michael Fleisher's seminal reference book for only $10)
The girls also insisted on buying me a few things, including a delightful little pin starring Segar's Popeye and a big poster of the cover art for Batman #251 ("The Joker's Five-Way Revenge" prominently featuring Neal Adams art).
So, yeah, helluva great day!
Cei-U!
I summon the small triumphs!

I always considered Crossfire to be one of Eclipse's most underrated series of the era. Unique concept and fine storytelling by a great team, Evanier and Spiegle.
Unfortunately for lovers of the series, issue #12 will set you back a bit due to its Dave Stevens cover. Likewise with issue #4 of Crossfire and Rainbow.  The remainder of the series can usually be had for super cheap when you can find them. |

So, yeah, helluva great day! Cei-U! I summon the small triumphs! This has been a frustrating white whale for me for the last 2-3 years after finding the Batman and Superman volumes for cheap a couple months apart. Sure, I could get it from eBay, but with shipping it would run about $30, and my rule of thumb is to only "splurge" on eBay when I'm pretty confident finding the item in the wild is unlikely |
