Awesome report.  That Batman #14 has got some real nice ink.

interesting info on the early Spider-Man issue  #18 that i was unaware of...

 

Tommy Donovan

Tommy Donovan of Richmond Comix always sets up at this show. Here’s Tommy brandishing a #6,000 copy of The Amazing Spider-Man #1, 1963 and #s 17, 18, 19. I’ve always had a sentimental attachment to the #19 since it’s the first Spider-Man comic book I remember having, and still have to this day. The #18 has some historical interest since it is the only Spider-Man comic in the early Silver Age where Spidey didn’t fight the villain or anybody else. That’s highly unusual for a Silver Age Marvel comic.

that is nice that you still own your earliest issue ASM #19... did you buy it off the stands ??

[the_Leader_knows]

I don't remember how I got it but Amazing Spider-Man #19 was definitely the first Spidey comic I had. There is a fair chance it came from my local 7-11 store where I bought most of my 1960s and 1970s Marvels as chronicled here:

I still remember when you first walked up to the table at a Pembroke Mall show..... I wonder if they still have Mall shows anywhere ? That was almost 30 years ago … man, how time flies. You asked if we had any "cherry" Marvels ….. they sure were a lot cheaper back then. GOD BLESS...

….. you should tell them about the ASM 29 you got directly from Marvel... back when they still sold back issues....

[the_Leader_knows]

The date for the Pembroke Mall comic show was 16 October 1993. Of course I still have the Amazing Adult Fantasy #10 and #11 I bought from you that day.

Is there anyone else who wishes they were The Leader? I know I do. Your cons seem like such a good time.

The letter and story are as collectible as the comics. Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy the Leaders Con reports. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Gene at a show and I’ve yet to meet Jimbo in person.
