My favorite part of the epic-ness!
Now it's time for my favorite part of the haul from my epic estate sale find.
As I had mentioned earlier, when I was in the basement level rummaging around I had managed to snag a longbox to start storing all of my finds in. I was working my way up the stairs to the third level, it was tricky to say the least as the stairs were very narrow, and a nice gentlemen noticed me struggling and backed up so I could keep going. I thanked him, and as he noticed what I was carrying said, "I don't think anyone's really noticed it yet, but there are a bunch of comics in a plastic bin mixed in with all of the camera stuff over there." After another round of thank you's, I made my way over to the aforementioned blue bin and found these...
A complete run of Adventure Comics #381-424 featuring Supergirl's first solo title run! They were all in order, so as I started to thumb through them all realizing that they were all there, I could barely contain my excitement! There are no real key issues here other than 381, and maybe 397, but this isn't a cheap run to put together by any stretch. All of these are mid to high-grade, and for the most part well presenting. This was right at the tail end of my search through the building after a solid two hours, so to find this box untouched at this point was quite a stroke of luck. Here's a few close-ups of some of the individual issues.
This run also has some killer covers, especially later on in the run.
Not all of 'em feature an unconscious Supergirl...I promise!
And for the cherry on top? The box also had the complete run of the Black Orchid issues and the Spectre issues too!
That's epic-ness defined right there!
