Marvel Age 103 / August 1991

Arrived from NewKadia

Jeff Johnson did 4 covers for this issue; the editor liked them, so all 4 were used for this issue.

Another collection of Captain America, various issues from 127 - 167. Plus Annual 8. 167 replaces an issue with a water-damaged cover. Taking the total down to 88 issues to complete the series.

These issues come from The Deep from Huntsville. Alabama.

@badkoukla No, I generally try to stick to one copy per issue. There have been a few times I have not.

Captain America 194 - 203 / November 11, 1975 - August 10, 1976

Arrived yesterday. I needed 7 out of 10. Moving down to needing only 96 issues to complete the collection.

Amazing Spider-Man 22, 26, and 27

From The Deep out of Huntsville, Alabama. The spiritual successor to the comic shop where I got most of my comics.

Well, that didn't take long. I was able to pry it open with my bare hands.

The CGC case is not really a great idea in regard to investments. They break rather easily.

Amazing Spider-Man 252 / January 31, 1984

Arrived today. Second appearance of the black costume.

The CGC case is coming off soon.

@badkoukla Out here it would be guaranteed to cause rain, then a dust storm.

Iron Man 55 / October 31, 1972

The first comic I cracked out of a CGC case, the seller had to ask why? I am a collector, not an investor.

This issue is packed full of firsts; notable by most would be Thanos. Then there is Drax the Destroyer (who I think looks better green), Star Fox, Mentor, the Blood brothers, and the Roclites.

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.
