Cocomonkey

Hi all! I'm originally from South Florida, now located in NYC (Queens), and have been collecting and loving comics since I received my first volume of Marvel Masterworks (v1, AF15/ASM 1-10) back in Kindergarten.

General comic-related interests: X-Men (and related), Transmetropolitan, Transformers, Constantine/Hellblazer, most anything sci-fi or related.

My comics bucket list (not in any particular order...but X-Men is the top of my personal list):

1) Have a comic from every Age (Platinum Golden Silver Bronze Copper Modern)

2) Own a copy of Giant Size Man-Thing (because it's hilariously titled) -- CHECK

3) New York World's Fair Comics (1939) (Any grade, fine with low grade but good eye appeal)

4) New York World's Fair Comics (1940) (Any grade, fine with low grade but good eye appeal)

5) Adventure Comics #247 (2.0-4.0ish, just mainly a decent-looking copy)

6) Original art of a comic strip from the day I was born (bonus points for the ASM strip)

7) Original comic art from Transmetropolitan (w/ Spider in it)

8) Original cover art to Y: The Last Man #16 (or a nice reproduction, as I doubt I'll find this...)

9) Original art from an Elric comic (but more is always good)

10) An Uncanny X-Men multi-cover (the more the merrier!)

11) Uncanny X-Men #297 Pressman Variant in decent grade

12) Something slabbed 9.8, preferably but not necessarily X-Men related (possibly already owned, but still raw, who knows)

13) More (complete?) UK Captain Britain issues, particularly Captain Britain #1 and #8.

14) Finish my "Odd/Interesting Books of Marvel/DC" Collection--
