First Book(s) of 2020 1 1

[manetteska]

Now that it’s a new year, what are the first books which made their way into your collection for 2020?

[manetteska]

Here are my first three; all arrived within two days so they all count as “first”.

 

 

[Robot Man]

This one. Bought it on Sunday, received it yesterday. Completes my run!

Starting the year as I ended the last:  EC for me, see?!?

En route to me shortly, from Ricksneatstuff current amazing Sales Thread. To me, this is a classic issue that is just loaded (I used to own a copy in the 1980’s):

[Robot Man]

Lordy!  Just keeps getting better and better. They all sure blow away my first purchase...

One of these two. Can't remember which came first.

Purchased this (off instagram) at the very end of December when I was on my honeymoon in Hollywood, sitting in the garden patio of the Chateau Marmont, sipping on tea and waiting for my breakfast order. First thing to arrive in the new year.

Been looking for this for years, but every copy that came up was either very beat up, or had a glaring defect that ruined the cover art (and was still expensive for its grade), so picked this up since it was super cheap and had amazing visual presentation (I honestly might not stop at owning only one, as this is my favourite Superman cover even though I don't collect him or Action Comics at all)

Great one that has eluded me for a long time!

Sure, can't swim in this pool but I will happily be in the shallow end with these two that arrived today!

Our mail was disrupted by fires but the first package arrived yesterday. It had seven old Australian books in it but this one was on top and I guess it counts as "first".

Terrible tragedy.
