  1. Sounds like one could be about them vanishing, the other from the perspective of said vanishers. Either way someone was maybe a bit lazy that month, at least when it came to coming up with a title.
  2. A few pics of last year’s show that I still had on my phone.
  3. Agreed, it’s an odd one. I always blamed that on the alien in the foreground. If you ignore them it’s less odd but still out of place for JIM. May be a pre-implosion issue that they were using up, but this would still be odd for JIM and would have had to come from another title’s back log. That, or they got a head start on the sorts of stories we’d see shortly in very early TOS and TTA.
  4. I thought the same thing when I saw yours pop up a split second ahead of mine! For whatever reason this daily number festival has gotten me back into logging in more regularly. Hope it lasts! I do miss the boards, just difficult to take the time some days...
  5. One of my favorite shows of the year, already looking forward to it!
  6. September 16-17, 2023, staying at the Embassy Suites at least one more year!
  7. I've been watching the countdown via the daily updates I get, and since I just got my JIM #45 back I wanted to belatedly show it off on the day of 46. Had a hell of a time finding the JIM #46, and I am not crazy about the page quality but wanted at least a placeholder at my target grade.
  8. I covet this #46 if you ever decide to rehome it.
  9. Congrats on the scanner upgrade! Those are great books. I’ve been spending a growing chunk of my budget on these Atlas books that vanished in the implosion. Not sure what to call them, I often go with some variation of “secondary titles” in comparison with the survivors JIM and ST from the era. This sort of in between late Atom age/early Silver Age Atlas is fantastic stuff.
  10. for 2023 dates soon, this has been my favorite show of the year lately.
  11. TTA #22 is one of the least common in the run, in my experience. Finding a nice one is even tougher.
  12. Spent more than I planned to, but wasn't going to let it go.
  13. Thanks for posting those. That AA #1 would be a grail for me, love that title and to have the #1 from that pedigree would be a centerpiece of any PHM collection.
  14. I would tend to agree with her for these less common books. If only I had bought one of the TTA #13s I saw at Chicago shows in the late 80s and early 90s. But I was holding out for a higher grade…
  15. We’ve had some fantastic shows in Dallas, particularly Fan Expo but even some of the smaller shows. There are definitely buyers.
  16. Dallas again? I wasn’t able to attend after all , and would love to have it nice and centrally located again.
  17. Congrats! Tough book, and good eye appeal for the grade.
  18. Ha, I should have complained sooner. Our 11/3 went to GEI today!
