Here's another comic book that I got in that Windfall buying experience, a book I paid 33 cents for in 1988. Rather than plow through all of the issues of ACTION COMICS that were in that horde--which seems as though it would get boring and repetitive quickly--I'm instead going to jump around a bit, work … Continue reading WC: ADVENTURE COMICS #266
And another issue of MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS reprinting Fantastic Four stories from earlier in the group's history, made its way to my regular 7-11 haunt. This era in which there were still monthly reprint titles for most of the major Marvel series was a godsend to me in terms of allowing me to get a … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL’S GREATEST COMICS #78
By this point in my life, things had settled down into a rhythm. I was somehow bringing in enough spending money where I could afford to go to the 7-11 every week on Thursday to buy the new comics I wanted. I was doing this largely through a combination of saving the money my parents … Continue reading BHOC: CAPTAIN AMERICA #223
As I spoke about yesterday, there were about 150 comics in the long box I got in my big Windfall Comics score, all of the super hero books. One of the most plentiful titles was ACTION COMICS. Which makes sense--ACTION was one of the biggest selling books of that era, and yet interest in these … Continue reading WC: ACTION COMICS #290
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
