Some of the Grey Fix It Hulk, the Aids issue, and an odd issue involving Man Thing bunch of old Power Pack issues including the Holiday special old Jim Lee X Men and Uncanny X Men stuff such as death of Colossus for the Legacy Virus thing old 1987 John Byrne's Superman ongoing series. I bought issue 2 old issue of Amazing Spider Man which starts off the return of Peter's parents. Has Red Skull on the front cover old Daredevil issues including isseu 170something for just 4 bucks. It has Mr Hyde on the cover. Then two issues that lead to the Falling from Grace story arc.

I definitely remember some of the Impulse Flash comic and the character.
Anyone know if Bart Allen/Impulse is around these days in DC Rebirth or not? I just started reading the new Rebirth Flash series so itll take me awhile to get used to the new stuff

Earlier today I went to a thrift store out of town and found one old comic book from Whitman Comics.
Issue 25 of Doctor Spektor. I found it mixed in with bunch of old kids books. The lady at the checkout didnt know how much they were selling it at either 25 cents or 50 cents so I bought it for 25 cents. Lucky me.
Whats cool about it is that I grew up getting those 3 comics in one bag of Whitman Comics from grocery stores back in my day when I was a little kid in the early mid 1980s.
I know nothing about Doctor Spektor but issue 25 I was skimming through it involvs Dracula somehow

Well comic books back then in the mid 1980s they werent even "expensive"
you call 75 cents or even just a dollar that expensive for a comic book made out of trees and newspaper printing ink yada yada?
an Apple or IBM computer back then was more expensive than a comic book

So what else went on besides Death of Superman, World Without Superman and Reign of the Supermen story arcs?
What else was going on with DC for the other characters like Flash, Wonder Woman and whoever else?
Was the whole thing with Bane and Batman going on at the time? Reason why I am asking is because Im trying to get caught up on some of the DC stuff that went on besides the stuff with Superman at the time back then.
Aquaman i know a little where he lost his hand yada yada.

Sounds like you whine alot, MDG about us "kids" who in the early 1980s got into comic books.
Jeez what would you rather have us get into at the time back then? Pretty much me and everyone else we were glued to the tv watching He Man, GI Joe, Teen Turbo, the Incredible Hulk tv show repeating on WGN and TBS and HBO literally being our babysitter.
Whenever I saw a comic book at the grocery store in the newstands I would go nuts even though at the time back then all there was just X Men, Groo, Conan the Barbarian, Alpha Flight, Spider Man, Power Pack and whatever was around for Batman and Superman long before John Byrne rebooted with the Man of Steel and ongoing Superman and the other Man of Steel comic book series.

Anyone else who got into comics in the 80's (or later) envious of the members who's first comics were classic Silver and Bronze Age issues? To be honest, I've never been able to understand how any "kids" got into comics after the mid-80s or so. By that time, it just seemed an expensive, inconvenient way to get entertainment. It seemed the only kids I saw at comic shops or shows were dragged there by their fathers.

I was a little kid in the very early 1980s so I dont remember exactly what my "first" Marvel Comics comic was.
I was pretty much reading whatever was around at the time from Conan, Groo, Alpha Flight, Power Pack, Red Sonja movie adaptation and Iron Man which i do remember having an issue of Iron Man back then but I dont remember what exact issue it was. All I remember was that I used scissors to cut out characters from the issue of Iron man. Dont ask me why I did that when I was a little kid. All little kids do weird stuff like that even in the 1980s

weeks ago I skimmed through the pages of the first two issues and holy cow the really graphic violence pretty much sickened me.
is Chaykin doing it on purpose for shock value or he just doesnt care at all?

modern recent comic book series I just started reading earlier today is the 2011 IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic thats still ongoing today I think. I think the series is up to issue 50something.
I read the first two issues and I really like it. Cant wait when I get up to issue 44 that involves the fate of Donatello.
I havent read a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comic since the old Archie Comics's Ninja Turtles comic way back in the late 80s early 1990s

I dunno if I would consider this comic book series that I am reading a "classic" but its the 2011 IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series and I think its still ongoing these days.
I just started reading the first two issues earlier today and I really like it. Cant wait when I get up to issue 44.
by the way is Old Hob a brand new character or an older characater from a previous Ninja Turtles comic series? Just wondering.

The only new comic book I got for this whole month of June is the 3rd or 4th printing of Rebirth Batman issue 24. Cant believe people are buying up that issue over a proposal. Not the first time Batman did something like that. nothing new

Recent new comic I got in the mail earlier today this morning is Rebirth Batman issue 24. I had to order online from the comic book shop that I go to once a few months.
Cant believe that Rebirth Batman 24 is already in its 4th printing stage
