Captain Marvel 1 /
February 8, 1968
A big milestone in my collection, but not the only one I got yesterday. One of which is a bucket list item; I just have to wait for them to arrive. This came from Ghost Cactus Comics out of Sun City, AZ. The previous owner bought it at a grocery store, keeping it pristine.
Mar-Vell's first series. The first mention of the Kree galaxy and their homeworld. I only need 22 issues to complete the series.
@BenjaminSpider which ones are you missing? Jim Starlin's? Those are probably in demand with the some of those characters coming out in the MCU.
@badkoukla I am missing 3, 7, 9 - 12, 14 -23, 25 - 29, 33, & 39. I plan to complete it next year. Luckily I found 34, the first Nitro, in a bargain bin in the 90s.
@BenjaminSpider That's cool - some good ones will be coming your way as you fill those in.
My spouse has some of them, but he has a lot of holes. He hasn't been collecting lately, especially since the beginning of the pandemic, when prices went out of control.
He did take advantage of that though and sold a handful of DC, Image, Spawn, other stuff that he wasn't following anymore for some extra cash. People were paying stupid money for some stuff. LOL
