@extremlyuncanny I had a subscription at the time it came out. It was a huge surprise when it arrived. Looking back I am amazed how few were roughed up in what little protection they were shipped in. most of the wear was caused by me over the years..
Hero for Hire issue 9 - February 20, 1973
Another first Doom battle between Doctor Doom and Luke Cage. ...or possibly a defunct doom bot, because Cage confronts Doom over an unpaid debt which seems out of character for Victor Von Doom.
@Juhstin Is there a stronger word than anxious? I am going to avoid all news sources for a few days. I got my vote in early.
Promotional flyer for Marvel's 1991 Infinity Gauntlet crossover
My second favorite crossover, the first being Acts of Vengence.
It first started in Silver Surfer 34 (1987).

@DallasBarnett @PaganMother I am pretty sure they would have messed it up. A lot of remakes remove key story elements, like the consumer dystopia Kevin was living under. This movie was perfect to begin with.
@badkoukla I like all of the Transformer movies, so I can not pass any judgment. 😅

Incredible Hulk 143 & 144, September - October 1971
This is the first time the Hulk battles Doctor Doom. My favorite Marvel villain. Making these some of my most prized comics.

Jack of Hearts 4 part Limited series October 18, 1983 - January 17, 1984
Jack of Hearts' first solo run/limited series.
@lilyunsub I vaguely remember Astrix from the Disney channel. Do you still have them?
@GlennS There is also the fun of getting a few last blocks in. Like I did with Edward Snowden yesterday. Goes well with my Travis Tritt, James Woods, and David Duke collection.

@GlennS That's pretty cool. What year is that? The comics authority code is rather big, so maybe near the time they started that insane program.
@GlennS I have not left yet Twitter yet. But I am starting to think Twitter's time is now measured in months. Check back to morrow I am likely to shorten my estimate.
