Things I have to do to avoid being bitten by Rory while working.
One time I had to finish typing three paragraphs in my head while he had a death grip on my arm.
The Jedi took off leaving Tilly with the Ohnaka Gang.

Amazing Spider-Man 47 / January 10, 1967
Kraven attempts to kidnap Norman Osborne's son Harry. Trying to get payment for a fight with Spider-Man. But finds Norman had no memory of his alter ego after issue 40.
This is another issue I got in the 90s helping a comic store get out of tracking their orders on paper. Until this week my oldest in the series.
Contest of Champions 1 -3 / June - August 1982
Marvel's first limited series.
The Grandmaster challenges Death in a game where his life is on the line. He forces the heroes of the earth to participate.
There is a big screw-up in the series because they were both tied. But the last issue says the Grandmaster won 3 to 1.

Strange Tales vol 1 issue 146 - April 12, 1966
Artists Don Heck & Jack Kirby
The first appearance of the criminal group A.I.M. (Advance Idea Mechanics).
Also, the first mention of Clea.
Tilly says this better not cut into her catnip budget.
Avengers 9 / August 11, 1964
This is the first appearance of Wonder Man.
Arrived from eBay seller plc.surplus ...and crazy-eli You might wonder why two copies. Since Wonder Man was getting his own series and a favorite, I panic-bought the first copy before realizing I had not carefully examined the cover to realize it had a defect.
Avengers 73 / February 1970
Arrived from eBay seller eternalapples. The seller listed it as low-grade $10, more like mid-grade. I don't often see sellers under-grade a comic often the opposite. Too many times sellers say what they are selling is near mint, despite visible defects.
T'Challa takes on the Sons of the Serpents alone.
Luke made the mistake of not running when Tilly started to stare him down.
This weekend my cats are preparing for the eventual robot uprising.
I felt the urge to post something political, but instead, I am going to share a picture of Panda when he was 6 weeks old. A cat that secretly plotted for me to bring him doors.
Fantastic Four 347 - 349 / December 1990 - February 1991
Spider-Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine take over the Fantastic Four for 3 issues.
If I had my way, I would have swapped out Wolverine for Deathlok or Darkhawk.

I forgot to cancel my grumpy cat subscription.
Punisher 70 / September 1992
Found in NewKadia's bargain bin after discounts $0.60. I am not a fan of the Punisher but will pick up issues with heroes or in this case villains I like, Spider-Man villainsTrantual. Captain America villain Batroc.
