It's like I'm looking at one of those magic eye posters from the 90s. Everyone is like "I can see it" and I'm like "what, what, I can't see it, is it a sailboat?". To say nothing of the vast number of ways his name can be pronounced (it's shin-kay-vitch, people!) He’s like artichoke, an acquired taste for sure. I was/am a massive fan of the New Mutants series in the 1980’s with Magik being a favorite character. Bill was at the center of that so...I’m in the like camp... bounty_coder and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bounty_coder Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 I wanted to share some of my recent pickups. I'm generally not a number chaser. But to have the opportunity to get some near perfect copies of some of my favorite books I had to ride the pony. I've found this HR#2 to be more difficult than issue one. This is Don Rosa's old copy. Super happy to be it's new custodian. I'm also a nerd for things like how this is an October issue and adorns a predominantly Orange cover 🎃 Stevemmg, The Lions Den, Randall Dowling and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bounty_coder Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 This Dracula Lives #9 is by far the hardest issue to get in VF/NM or better out of the run. Don't know if it was a lower dist issue or not. Either way when I saw an opportunity at a 9.8 I knew had to go for the Hail Mary. If 20 years of My collecting these prior hasnt dug one up then go Big or buy a Wig. bronze paradise, ArkhamCastle, Amazing Spidey and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bounty_coder Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) I'm not quite sure how they got away with this but Creepy #88 basically has whole boobs on the cover.

Popular Post bounty_coder Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 @Stevemmg and I are now 9.8 brothers on this lucidly chilling Santa stalking Sanjulian work. What a scene. Love that black light poster feel of the Spirit back cover as well. How fun are these? Jeeeeezus de Christo!

Popular Post bounty_coder Posted May 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 The last issue of Savage Sword of Conan. Notoriously difficult due to lower print run. But for me the Buscema Ghoulie Goblin cover and black back cover pinup are what really makes this Cimmerian cook.

This is Who We Are Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Hi All, This isn't a magazine but I figured it might have a place here: James Warren Empire of Monsters. I believe this came out in 2018 or 2019 and as quickly as it was released, it seems that it went out of print. I'm excited to jump in to this one. I saw it come up at auction recently and just by chance, saw there was one in stock through an online bookstore. Anyone who has by chance read this, would love your feedback. It's about all Things Warren, so hoped I could get a pass in posting this here.

Randall Dowling Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just an open question for the board. I regularly search magazines on eBay (it's a tough market but I still look). More and more, it seems, I see listings that don't give a grade but use other words to suggest condition. Sometimes it's "pre-owned". Other times it's "new, unread". But the one that gets me is when they describe the magazine as "used"... My question is this- Am I the only one that feels a little dirty buying a "used" magazine? It doesn't sound like the kind of thing I want. I don't know how it was "used". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
