Being friends with one of your comic shop owners has its perks. Whenever he buys a collection he shares me with what he got and find some fun things for me. Scratched 2 books off my bucket list; I know I can't get superior copies of them but they're books I've wanted Amazing Spider-Man #s 42 and 59 (first fully MJ appearance) Also, this great condition of the Fireside book of The Superhero Women! I adore this Romita cover

Picked up this Amazing Spider-Man #200 for a nice price. Love that Romita cover.

Seems like maybe prices are getting better for the buyer on ebay again? For the items I've been looking for... kinda sorta. Feels like some of the market's corrected itself.

The Other Side by Jason Aaron was really well done. An interesting juxtapose between the American and Vietnamese solider; approximately the same age and their time during the conflict. Beautifully drawn by Cameron Stewart. Takes a lot from Hansford's The Short-Timers. Would be interesting to see your take on a Vertigo title instead of the main companies depictions.

@supercat2099 , Fantastic haul! You're in for a real treat with Mike Allred's Madman series. If you can, start with the Thundra era books (see if there's a trade) and then dig into the Dark Horse series which is truly fantastic! Dark Horse in the 90s was so good. Aside Sin City, the whole LEGENDS imprint put out some of the best monthlies like Hellboy and minis (like the Monkeyman & O'Brien). Comics Greatest World (I liked a lot of it) and also the Maverick imprint as well. A solid decade of great reads Also, Moore's Supreme is a lot of fun. Yeah, its a lot of recycled ideas from some of other books but it makes special and Silver Age-y fun. Thanks! And that answers a question I had on if it made sense to go back to the earlier Madman material. Based on your recommendation I'm going to do just that, I need to place another order anyways because I finished Monkeyman and O'Brien (which was awesome) and the story continues in Dark Horse Presents. I think I first ran into Allred with X-Statix and then a Mr. Gum special in the early 2000's, but missed his classic 90's material so I'm looking forward to it! You just reminded me as well I need to revisit Hellboy, I have I think the first trade for the early stuff which I need to re-read, and then keep going (along with checking out more from the imprints you mentioned). Glad I can could be of assistance. It was Wizard that hipped me to Madman from Palmer's Picks. Bought it from there and became an instant Allred fan. Bought his prior stuff too (Creatures of the Id, Dead Air and Graphic Music). He's got some of my favorite reads. And he and Laura are some of the nicest people in comics.
