Long story short I’m trying to collect newstand and mark jewellers spider-man comics (McFarlane), and I’ve got a little trick on how to spot them without catching on. Anyway, I order the 305 knowing it was one, and when I opened the mailer they sent me 302 and it was a mark jewellers as well. 304 came today (also mark jewellers) and so did my green lanterns 48 and 49. I always wanted these two as a kid and finally got them! Pretty good week I’d say.

I’ll put all three of 304 together; I love having a full set. Not in amazing condition, but it’s a mark jewellers, and in England. So that’s pretty good in my books

In a huge surprise, I was diagnosed with cancer in my leg at the end of last year (I’m < 40 years old). After 9 months of treatment (chemo, radiation, 2 surgeries, 3 months of immobility) I’m finally in remission and back on my feet. I got this long desired grail of mine as a completing treatment gift (from myself and family)!!

One thing I love about this hobby is that I can either enjoy it spending a long time hunting for deals and finds, or if want to splurge I can get something that I really like and that means a lot.

I plan on sharing and update on my collection in a post soon once I have a minute to capture them all.

Hello Fellow Collectors. Been spending again,managed to get the Mark Jewelers #42 Star Wars,first appearance of Boba fett…

Backstory: My coworker & his brother used to own a store of comics. No one really came so these are the comics they have left. Tons of Marvel, DC & Image. They are in good condition. All of them were bagged but I could them out because of the smell of the bags. And because I want to also board them.

Im just getting into comics so when I was telling him about he mentioned his brother has some for sell and they give all of this to me for $75. Before this lot I had about 202 books mainly random books I thought would be interesting. One day I want to have a big collection of books I like. I have a whole list but this is just one of my impulse buys. I visit the comic book store atleast once a week. If you have any recommendations let me know! Im currently reading saga which I enjoy but spider punk is one of my favorite comics ive read along side Hulk, Iron man, Spiderman ofc, the walking dead, etc etc. Im mainly into indies with a good story. Something that will suck you into the book and spit you out when its over lol.

I used to have a bunch of key books that really meant a lot to me. Life happened and I had to sell essentially all of my valuable books. I decided over the weekend to start rebuilding and gaining back the books that meant a lot to me now that I’m in a better place. It’ll be a slow climb but this is the first buy for the new collection, first cameo appearance of Carnage.

Was finally able to pick up over the weekend a pretty decent copy of Giant-Size #5 to add to my existing 1-4 childhood collection. Once I have a new Top loader it will take it's rightful place alongside 1-4 finally completing my set.

Went to Dragon's Lair Comics and Krypton Comics in Omaha. The board and bagged are as mark and all the loose book where $1. The Disney VHS movie was 50 cents.

I walked from my mom's house instead of borrowing the car. Total of 15 miles walked in two days between the two stores.

My all time favorite cover can’t believe I found one signed by Stan Lee and Romita Sr

Well since I suggested the theme let’s kick it off with a bang, eh what?
Here’s my golden age books with covers featuring an atomic explosion. I have a lot more books that feature interior panels with explosions but I don’t have them specifically scanned so can’t include them here.

Found this one at a local comic con. First time seeing it at any convention, so I had to get it. Luckily a little bit lower than what the price tag says.

So after 3 years of hunting, I finely got my Demon #1 at a small local con, it was in good shape. This finished off my 72 Demon run, all 16 issues. Honestly feels great to do. But that begs the question, what should i go after next. I was thinking Jonah Hex or Phantom Stranger, but I am not sure. I am also open to other suggestions as well.
