The week this issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN came to my spinner rack in the neighborhood 7-11 was a big one for comic book happenings. In addition to the release of a regular slate of comic books, two other things were going on that grabbed my attention. The first was the launch of DC's new Newspaper … Continue reading BHOC: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #182 & THE WORLD’S GREATEST SUPERHEROES
If you are a comic book collector who has been collecting for a considerable amount of time, then you have a story similar to the one I'm about to tell. The reverse of it is also true--those instances when you had an opportunity to come into a bevy of old comic books but the moment … Continue reading Windfall Comics
I believe this issue of BATMAN was bought by my younger brother Ken--which may help to explain why I remember so little about it. Ken would go through these periods when he'd become interested in a particular character or title, follow it for a little while, then drop it and pretty much never mention it … Continue reading BHOC: BATMAN #301
As usual, I bought the new issue of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE when it showed up at my 7-11's spinner rack. In this case, I did so despite having little interest in Brother Voodoo--the Marvel mystical and monster/horror characters really didn't interest me, and I somehow lumped Brother Voodoo into that grouping, for as little as I … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #41
Picked this book up on one of my regular weekly Thursday comic book runs to my local 7-11. It was racked over in he magazine section rather than on the spinner rack due to its huge size. And I quite liked the cover image on it--so much so that I copied it, and did a … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TREASURY EDITION #17
I must confess, it feels a bit odd to be doing another piece on DEMON HUNTER #1 after having featured it in a Brand Echh segment here: https://tombrevoort.com/2020/12/31/brand-echh-demon-hunter-1/ But it would have been the next comic book that I picked up, and so I'll need to remain true to the self-imposed rules of this feature. … Continue reading BHOC: DEMON HUNTER #1
This was another issue of DOCTOR STRANGE that I bought out of my local drug store's Big Bin of Slightly Older Comics, books which had been reported destroyed via the Affidavit Returns system but which had instead been sold by some unscrupulous operator to the drug store chain. Not great for the comic book publishers, … Continue reading BHOC: DOCTOR STRANGE #17
By this point, my brother Ken's interest in the Incredible Hulk had waned, as it typically did with his passing fancies for one comic book or another. But having read the most recent bunch of issues from his copies, and getting further and further into the Marvel books, I was hooked enough on things to … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL SUPER-HEROES #72
As I mentioned yesterday, I bought two consecutive issues of DOCTOR STRANGE from my drugstore's Big Bin of Slightly Older Comics, and this was the second one. It had one thing in common with the previous issue: like it, the cover illustrated not the contents of this story, but the one in the following issue. … Continue reading BHOC: DOCTOR STRANGE #22
This was another book that I bought out of my drugstore's Big Bin of Somewhat Older Comic Books, all issues that had been reported as destroyed but instead which had been sold on the secondary market for a cut-rate price. This was one of a pair of DOCTOR STRANGE issues that I picked up at … Continue reading BHOC: DOCTOR STRANGE #21
