For some of these books, even finding a 7.0 is tough! and thanks for the warning about windows updates.

So I just got a brand new laptop (to replace my 8 year old brick) with some fancy graphics & display. This is the first comic pic I've seen with it Looks absolutely lovely! Great pickup man! (The laptop has a touchscreen display. That was fun for abut 5 minutes before my shoulders started to feel it. Don't know how those Star Trek people did it for a several hour shift.)

Congrats for doing that! Thats some good karma points there

After I sold off most of 10+ long boxes of SA books in 2001 (I know - too early to make the big $$$$ like today), I've been strictly adhering to a "5 short box" rule. Once the 5 short boxes get full, something needs to go. Know its not for everyone, but it keeps me focused. Never want to move an SUV sized collection again! Although I might have to up that to six boxes if I ever get close to finishing the whole PHM run with slabbed versions

Great books sir!

Great pickup! I was one of the under bidders. I snagged the #7

From the GCD (but I find it a big stretch) According to X-Men: Hidden Years (Marvel, 1999 series) #18 these mutants appear next behind the scenes with more mutants in Amazing Adult Fantasy (Marvel, 1961 series) #14, the mutants of this story are next seen in X-Men: Hidden Years (Marvel, 1999 series) #15.

Not a cover, but something Kirby scripted and drew (his wife Roz is credited with the inks in the GCD) that I recently discovered in Yellow Claw #2 (December 1956 cover date). Scanned for your viewing pleasure. Check out the "mutant" lead story and the awesome 2/3 splash on page 3. Hmmmm, don't think this is the last time that The King will use the "mutant menace" theme in comics.

I've always been partial to Kirby's.
