Assessing the damage after the #comicbook convention. Some great additions to my quest to collect some “title getting broken on the cover” collection. Some #DrDoom, some spot-fillers on my Miller #Daredevil run, some random Number 1s, and a nearly complete run of Uncanny #Inhumans (missing # 0).

A couple of fun #comicbook finds at an antique store on vacation. The first places I stopped at had books that should be $0.50-$1.00 priced at like $10-$20, which is nuts. I finally stumbled into a store with a bunch of very affordable stuff. They also had […] [Original post on hoosier.social]

#Birthday #comics haul! My beautiful and thoughtful wife, who couldn’t care less about #comicbooks, searched for #1s that were first published in 1976 as well as a few graded keys (Incredible Hulk 200 and X-men 101) from that year. She did great!

Huge shout-out to @ScottStarkey for the suggested configuration to reduce the recent number of spam registrations. It was borderline obnoxious and has now dropped off a cliff after implementing his recommendation.

Another fun day of buying #comicbooks. This time at the Geek Meet Indy. I also had a 1 through 5 run of Nick Fury Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with the sick Steranko covers in my hands. It was way too rich for my blood. Awesome to see them though. The Daredevil […] [Original post on hoosier.social]

Inhumans aren’t the typical A-list characters that people get pumped about, but I was stoked to finally complete this trifecta in my personal collection. They’re definitely on the well-loved side but I’m enjoying having them. #comicbooks #comics

3 comic books, Fantastic Four 44, 45, and 46 - first appearance of the Inhumans.

Call-to-action post ending with “Do people want to wait until they wake up in a nightmare?” Immediately followed by a comic book panel with the text “What a nightmare!”
