As always another great video. There is something I want you to take notice of that I will point out. I love how you go through the boxes without music as much youtubers do. I much rather listen to the rustling, the sticky bags, the chatter in the background. Makes me feel like I'm really there.
I got excited when you hit those Ghost Manor books in that dollar box. I can't pass up Charleton horror. Great grabs. I loved your comment during the hunt, "buying comics and making friends". That's what this community is all about.
Some great purchases there..I would have went nuts on the Tomb of Dracula, Frankenstein and other Bronze age horror titles...Good to see so.e Alan Moore amongst them all..
The cover of Excalibur #16 is a homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter/Barsoom novels like "A Princess Of Mars". I vote for the return of Grottu the giant ant - Marvel could only benefit from such a creatively daring move. Speculating on movie characters is a mug's game, the only winners are the people who start the rumours in the first place and who have a stack of the comics the rumours are about. Avengers #57 never fails to impress me no matter how many times I read it and how often I look at that cover.
the person next to you talking about Marvel Age... they are always fun reads to sometimes find titles you may have missed and awesome art from the past to see. Love buying Marvel Age to reread
Good afternoon Michael A fine haul of comics sir. You will now hear the great Aussie lament- Oh God why not here???. But I am glad you had fun, I certainly, did watching you flick through the boxes. Great work Cheers Al TheGoldkeyfourcolorkidownunda
I don't know if you are aware of that Spider-Man special edition book, the trial of venom, but it was available only by making a donation to UNICEF. For $5, you mailed in a certificate and your donation and received that comic in return. It was advertised in a bunch of the comics at that time. I still have the two that I bought, and I'm surprised that they're not worth more. Plus, they did it again the following year with a Hulk vs. Venom book. Great pick up, and great pick up all around on everything else. You can never go wrong with any hologram cover from the 90s for a dollar!
When you put up WHERE MONSTERS DWELL #3, I noticed the star stamp just above the issue number 3. That is a proof of purchase stamp for books and mags sold on military posts back in the 70's. I brought back hundreds of books from Germany with that stamp back in 1973. A lot of the "star" books had the Mark Jewelers inserts in them. Just fyi.
Excellent haul Mike. I love a good sale. 2 more dollar bin books you should keep your eye out for is Justice League International 18 and 19. These are the 1st appearance of Lobo as we know him now and what he would probably be if he ever hits the big screen. 👊🏼
Hi Mike, you have some really great friends there. Please don‘t open the video game. It looks so great in its original packaging. Maybe you get an already unboxed one some day.
17:38 I had to stop the video and comment on the star by the 3. My understanding is those are army base store purchases, both home and abroad. This one might be too early for a Mark Jeweler's insert, but worth checking too! Great find!! I'll go back to crying and enjoying the video! So many great books! My wallet (& wife) are thanking me for being on the other side of the continent!
Yes! Someone else pointed out the same thing, a fact I was not aware of, but thanks so much for the factoid, I love learning stuff like this from you guys!
As always a great haul video. I have a question. What are your reading habits. How many comics do you read on a daily, weekly, monthly basis? Also, how about a video of the rest of you comic room? I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to see that. Anyway keep up the great work!! Ron.
I’m a busy guy so I can only juggle 1 or 2 comic titles. Lately I’ve been into getting trades and just binge reading them in one sitting. But otherwise, reading time isn’t what it used to be. And yea I owe everyone a tour of the room sometime, but it’s so messy right now!
saw you pass that swamp thing #2 and grab that wolverine book, need #1, #2, #7 to complete my swamp thing vol.1 run.....wouldn't mind joining you and get a stack too!
Mike nice haul very cool store if you are ever in Westboro check out Hall of Comicsnice dollar bin and great back issue prices my son enjoy going there I'm sure you will as well
Man! Great prices on some great books. Real great variety of books. Gotta say love the Tombs of Dracula and the Wolverine. Been hunting for the ToD, but I sure never see them for the price you got. I just got a copy of that 1st Lobo too, but I got the reprint that came out a bit ago. Much cheeper just to get ant read.
Really great show. I knew you were going to pick out that man thing cover cuz I would have. I used to come out of the comic book store when I was in my 40's with a big stack like that just about every other Wednesday. First I'd get my pulls then I would hit the dollar bins. I can't tell you how many books that you showed that I passed up back in the day. But that's the fun part about collecting sometimes you strike gold and sometimes you miss the vein just like Dracula.
What I seem to love is as you go through the boxes and you slow down a bit for the 70s and 80s comics I can see onesbi currently own or simply just remember. Even the ones I didn't buy, but should have. Heck I was a kid. Seeing you but comics I bought as they were released is also fun- wolverine 1, nebula... Omega men. I loved that Omega Men series. It would have made a great show too.
You honestly have much better locations for comics than I have here in So Cal. The stores near me carry 90% 2000 and later books. My next visit to Massachusetts to visit family, I’m heading to some of these places.
I was looking forward to seeing what you picked up at this sale! This was such an awesome time. Bummed I couldn't get there until Saturday because of work, but I still found so much stuff in those $1 boxes!
Amazing, spectacular, deadly deal for $200! I was filled with envy as I saw you dig through those boxes! Have to say the Avengers #57 is my favorite pick-up of the lot, but I do also love that you picked up Where Monsters Dwell #3, a superb title with great reprints from early Marvel Silver Age.
Honestly the best book you got was Amazing Spider-man 380!! Why, you may ask? It's my very first comic book ever. Slightly mad. I traded my original away back in the day. However, I was happy to pick it back up. Once, I started collecting the full Maximun Carnage storyline again around 1997. Funny thing it took me until last year to finally finish the run!! Hopefully, you get to finish your run quite a bit quicker lol. Plus all the other great book you were able to obtain. Really wish zi had a shop like that around me. As always best wishes and have a blast collecting Mike.
Hey Mike,, looking forward to the post,my faves (being a big DC guy) is the first lobo,also any Allan Moore swamp thing is great,also the classic wolverine No1 and 1rst vision and where monsters dwell are great,all cool books though,nice haul indeed
@@lunchmoneycomics You seem to be insulted by this person's comment. But look again at the Excalibur cover, apparently you didn't notice the "Warlord of Mars" logo at left, taken from Marvel's John Carter series from the '70s -- a dead giveaway as to what was being homaged. So that's probably related to his "impression." Aren't you familiar with Marvel's John Carter title?
@@A100-ND yeah I figured it out. I wasn’t insulted, I genuinely wanted to know what I missed. A lot of what I say is off the cuff in the moment so I miss some stuff, but it’s a very strange leap in logic to assume an omission equals ignorance.
Nice picks! Hey, is the Hologram on Excalibur #71 all blue? Or, is it just because the angle of the comic in relation to the camera? If it is all blue, then that's an error issue. Either way, I always pick up copies of the Fatal Attractions whenever I find em.
