Black Lantern Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I chose the CGC books from Brian aka lonetree. He wanted to send me some bonus books and asked me about ma collecting preferences. I told him that I like Adi Granov, Adam Hughes and Dave Stevens amongst others, and he knocked it out of the park with those books. I didn't have any of them yet. comicdonna, ADAMANTIUM and Shadow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno McCoy Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My wife and I got home from picking up our son from school yesterday, and we noticed a big box on the front porch. My wife says, "Oh cool, look. That dresser I ordered came in." And I was like, "Um, actually, I think that might be another box of comics from Dwayne." frozentundraguy, 1Cool, Mayor006 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno McCoy Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'll open it this morning. Trying to extend the anticipation a little, and it'll help break up my morning at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Reno McCoy Posted January 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2018 I was trying to wait to open Wayne's 2nd box until this afternoon, but screw that. I've got the patience of a child. This box contains a huge stack of reading material across various ages of comics. Some Sin City I haven't read, some super hero books, even a few Conans I've read but will likely read again now that I have them sitting here. I actually already read the Secret Wars II book this morning. I have fond memories of the series from when I was a kid, but holy smokes, that is one terrible comic. But I still love it. Well, not really, but yeah, totally do. There was also a comic with a cool female Boba Fett cover (never seen it before, but man, I certainly like it), a Walking Dead variant/reprint of issue 1, some comic with a booty right in your face, and a Giant-Size Super-Heroes 1 that looks dang nice! Of course, the real doozy here is the Forbidden Worlds 71. I mean, who sends a slabbed copy of Forbidden Worlds for a raffle? Dwayne's crazy! Crazy awesome! I can't wait to crack the slab and read it. I'll do that tonight. Maybe I'll let me son have it. He loves robots! Just kidding. That Forbidden Worlds will stay sealed in my collection for awhile, no question. oakman29, ADAMANTIUM, frozentundraguy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was in Orlando for work and got back Thursday night to find a box from W16227 (Dave). The X-Men #78 alone is a beauty but he also sent some bonus books! First sketch cover book for me. The JLA vs Suicide Squad looks like a good read. Plus, some variants. Thanks again Dave! 707comics and Azkaban 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smithdatura Posted January 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2018 Opened up my package from Dale/@frozentundraguy on the weekend and was loving it! I was actually SS to Dale in the holiday exchange so we had already exchanged a few PMs ahead of the raffle and were sharing our mutual appreciation of Silver DC, particularly Superman and Batman titles. While the raffle prize I won from him was technically the Showcase and Flash book, he made a great offering even better by including three bonus Superman SA books and a very cool HG copy of Jungle Comics No. 1 - as I mentioned to him, I absolutely need more Dave Stevens work in my collection! I'm really looking forward to reading the Action 354 "Captain Incredible" story in particular, since for some reason I recall that cover from a DC house ad in some old book I read as a kid and it always stuck with me. Something about the power of Superman's punch that Swan illustrates so beautifully and the complete non-selling of it that annoying kid does is so striking... although now that I'm older, I have to admit my eye tends to wander back to that Stevens cover... Anyhow, thanks again, Dale - truly a great raffle prize! 707comics, oakman29, Shadow and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His parcel was supposed to have arrived on January 4, but due to the large storm out east it was delayed several days. Luckily he had the good fortune to be out of the country at that moment & did eventually receive his books!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
