Sorry for no pics...

My SS was DeadOne. He sent me a dozen Horror magazines, all of which I didn't have!

The 1973 Nightmare Winter Special - with a Scarecrow story, of which I was happy to discover (there was this creepy old Scarecrow in the back of one of the sheds on my Grandpa's farm which supposably was made by his Grandfather, so very old and creepy, he used to drag it out to the front of his house every Halloween).

Nightmare #14 &15, Masters of Terror #1 featuring Theodore Sturgeon's It!, Tales of the Zombie #1 !!!, and Weird Vampire Tales V3N2. All excellent magazines.

Also some Monster/Horror magazines (a la Famous Monsters of Filmland) that are mostly articles (with some stories).  Monsters of the Movies #1 and #1 Annual. Castle of Frankenstein #s 15-17 and 23. I would see the Castle of Frankensteins at shows, but never decided to pick them up - now I will have to look for and acquire more!

Thanks Bryan!!!

I have personally been a recipient of  DeadOnes Secret Santa,  he's very generous for sure.

Shadow Images sent these awesome gifts.

I got an Archie multipack, a book I've been meaning to get, but hadn't yet, and a page of OA by Jeff Shultz.

Thanks Shadow Images

Just opened  my gifts from David AKA: Wipple. A really cool Spider-Man coffee cup, three Marvel Masterworks and three early Thor books! Thank you so much David. I'm going to enjoy reading them while drinking my coffee.

Thanks again!

Glad you like them. Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to take a minute to thank my Secret Santa, Cosmic Boy!  A few years ago, I was able to find my original Star Wars figures from when I was kid, one by one in old toy boxes back home.  I now have them displayed in my comic room.

I know that I had Boba Fett and Darth Vader as a kid but can't find them anywhere.  Cosmic Boy got me both of them and they both look awesome.  Vader even has the cape and lightsaber.  Thanks a lot man, it is greatly appreciated!

Opened gifts from my Secret Santa earlier (@ComicBookGuy) and I am loving it! Not only did I get some cool books that are right up my alley, I got a stocking stuffed with chocolate and a cool Vader candy dispenser. I'm glad I took a picture earlier .... there is not as much candy left now HAHAHAH. 

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays everybody!

My very nice gift was from @Barth . thank you very much for the cool wolverine pop. The Charlie Brown tree, which I will use for next years secret Santa present . And finally I recieved a VERY awesome art of Charles Shultz book.  It has many clips inside. I am taking this with me tomorrow to start my enjoyment. Nothing better than original renditions of Charlie Brown and the gang. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas . very happy

I like that CB Christmas tree !!

Thank you secret santa  Adam Pasz !!  What a great bunch of everything !! I love me some Dell painted covers so the Tarzans are perfect, expecially that 65 !! There was also a DC Special all about Joe Kubert which I'm looking forward to reading.  I read his biography a couple years ago and found it and his life fascinating.   There's a few checker top DC's from the sixties which are always fun and a  FF #90 that looks a little different somehow.  Is it foreign ?  It's perfect for my FF reading set.  ALSO is something new to me.  It's a set of Twilight Guardian 1-4 plus the intro issue.  I'll read that group one of these nights soon. And best of all is a SUPER COOL Myserty in Space #62 with a great two headed dino-montser cover !!    

Thanks again Adam.  (And you too Lizards )

One of my vague requests was shark or underwater covers.  My Secret Santa is Senormac (Mike) and he knocked it out of the park.  I am just blown away by what Mike sent me.  It all came in a custom box with classic sea covers.  I love all of the comic covers and Mike also included an Aquaman Little Big Book and a copy of Popular Science from 1932!

cool--- one of my favorites of that genre is The Deep one shot:

My Secret Santa was nickwire from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

In my wish list, I said I wanted ( but had little of ) DC silver and bronze war or horror.  I received a nice reading selection of those.

But my wish list also said I was interested in70s Star Trek magazines.  And my Santa gave me a sci-fi newspaper from 1975 that I had never even heard of!  Thanks Santa!

glad you likes em sir
