Dora: Is Thanksgiving ready yet?
Me: I haven't even made coffee yet.
Last post of the day. Have a good night/day/ Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate.
Panda says goodnight.
Tomorrow's plans. Make a vegan Thanksgiving dinner, and do one last check to make sure my Invincible Iron-Man collection is complete.
332 reg issues, 15 Annuals, and 1 Manual.
I've had a stroke of weird luck with this series. Number 1 was with a couple of other key issues like Captain America 100 in a friend's garage, He said I could have them or toss them. 😕
A third of the collection was sold to me for $75 in the 90s.
X-Men 16 / November 4, 1965
Art by: Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, and Sam Rosen
My oldest and favorite silver age cover from the X-Men series.
On a rampage From Mexico to NYC just to kidnap someone, the Rhino was never known for stealth. - Amazing Spider-Man 41
Amazing Spider-Man - Annual 23 / May 2, 1989
Part 4 in Atlantis Attacks, a crossover with all the Marvel Annuals in 1989. Cover by John Byrne. This is also Rob Liefield's first assignment with Marvel (/groan).
My first annual. I got it from a Maverick's gas station during the summer of 1989 in Richfield, Utah. As you can see this was long before I started properly storing comics.
Amazing Spider-Man 41/ July 7, 1966
Just arrived today. Making it my oldest in the series... until next week. I am trying to contain my excitement. This is my favorite series.
First appearance of Rhino. In this issue, Spider-Man rescues J.J. Jamesons' son John. You would think he would hold off on the Spiderslayers and hiring the Punisher to go after Spider-Man.. but no.
Captain America 104 - 108, 110, 113, & 118. 1968 - 1969.
from eBay seller ajmud I didn't need 102, 103, or 116. But it was far cheaper to buy a collection than individual issues. Some day I am going to have to do something with all the duplicates.
118 is the third appearance of Falcon.
Tomb Of Dracula 28, 42, 46, 53-57, 60-63, & 65-66, / 1974 - 1978
Arrived from eBay today. From seller wheattradinguser
Lando inserted himself at the last moment.
Going through more duplicates.
Whenever I see a Death high cost of living in a bargain bin I pick it up. It seems criminal for it to be there.
The grumpiest kitten ever is not happy about no longer being the youngest in the house.
Rom 1 / September 4, 1979
First appearance of Rom and the Spaceknights.
I paid $7 for this, most of which was shipping. The seller gave little details and a grainy picture of the front cover, so no surprise that I won it for so little. A 9.0 runs about $150. So, I got what I paid for.
Will look for another copy.
