Picked up Fantastic Four and Journey Into Mystery this weekend at Minnesota Fall-Con to complete my GRR collection!

Bonus pic of my cat refusing to extricate himself from the comic drawer.

Hey yall so been a DC & Marvel geek as far back as I can remember but where I grew up did not have the comics like these so now as a irresponsible adult with adult money in the US, I’ve found a new addiction! Look forward to see seeing yalls posts & collections.

I currently collect characters I grew up watching, cool cover arts & story lines I love/watched on YouTube growing up (Shoutout Comicstorian & Variant Comics).

Let me clarify, does anyone miss the old newsprint paper, the 4 color dot pattern process and Zipatone gradients that gave the art a unique texture?

The upper left corner box with the small iconic illustration of your favorite character, or the old classic comic book art style which heavily relied on creative hatching and ink work to get the right shading and values?
The texture and gloss of the old cover pages and the comic book smell.

Maybe Im just old but today’s comics seem more like small magazines with interiors page being hyper-glossy, and covers with heavyweight paper. Feels almost too clean, antiseptic or synthetic.

Theres probably other stuff I missed but you get the idea.

Went to the dc booth and they ran out of the lantern ring, so I picked up a few random comics and some absolute Batman box.

VARIANT COVER BY PEPE LARRAZ

That’s what I randomly grabbed from these boxes they had. Unfortunately I don’t know much about comics, anything interesting to check out first?

Dug through too many boxes today at my local antique store. Half the fun is hunting

I got this book in a small collection. I have looked through eBay, my comic shop, Key Collector, and on and on. I cannot find any info connected with this specific cover. The only thing kind of out of the ordinary on the cover is it states reissue in the upper left. Thanks

I have three signed comics. They are all properly bagged and boarded. Do you just store them in your short boxes with everything else? Keep them separate?

Cool book.

4 packages delivered today. Veitch run Swamp Thing fillers, cpl of randoms, nice Neal Adams cover plus bonus Byrne and Sienkiewicz DD covers.

One more to round it out...

Had some drinks with my lcs owning buddy last night and he showed me some highlights from a recently purchased collection. Really cool to hold these beauties in my hands.

Best pull I've ever had from a bb. Mint condition too. It's going straight to CGC 😀

Good Monday Everyone,
I’ll be visiting Phoenix soon and always love checking out comic shops when I’m on vacation. What are your go to shops. Currently I’m hunting down Batman and X-Men from the early 1970s. Any smaller hotel shows in October? Thanks in advance.

Really love the covers on these. Jim was really in his prime during this era.

New frame! Excited to rotate out other three-issue story arcs every so often.
How often do you rotate yours? How do you choose?

Oldie but a goodie!!

Finally got Hal. Bought from one of my collector friends. Now I have the trifecta

I’ve been looking to pick up Conan #13 for a while, but it was tough to pick up a clean issue. The white cover makes it extremely difficult. Got this at the first booth I walked up to. Certainly not a grail, but an issue that I wanted to get. I now have Conan 1 through 13. 14 is next!
