BHOC: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #162
I had passed up this issue and the one prior to it, also featuring Nightcrawler, in my drugstore's Big Bin of Slightly Older Comics on several occasions. But eventually, having become more enamored of the new X-Men I went in search of the two. But by that time, whatever copies of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #161 there … Continue reading BHOC: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #162
BHOC: X-MEN #111
For some reason, my family wound up going to the South Shore Mall, which was a bit of a distance from where we lived.

BHOC: X-MEN #104
Her is another book that I got from my childhood friend Donald Sims during one of our frequent comic book swaps. As soon as I laid eyes on it, I wanted it. The cover knocked me for a loop. I had seen the cover to X-MEN #1 in SON OF ORIGINS OF MARVEL COMICS as … Continue reading BHOC: X-MEN #104

This was yet another issue of MARVEL TEAM-UP that I wound up getting from my buddy Donald Sims during the last two years of grad school at some point. I definitely wound up with the better end of the deal in this instance. Because in just a few months, the prices on any and all … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TEAM-UP #53
BHOC: MARVEL PREMIERE #25
This was another book that I dug up in my local drugstore's Big Bin of Somewhat-Older Comic Books, books that were reported as having been destroyed but were instead being sold off the back of the truck at five for a dollar--a great bargain for me. I was continuing to explore different avenues in the … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL PREMIERE #25
Lee & Kirby & Ditko & Everett & Brodsky: A Guest Post on DAREDEVIL #1 and Related Matters
In response to yesterday's post concerning DAREDEVIL #1, I received an e-mail from my friend Mark Evanier. Mark is one of the most knowledgeable people I know about classic comics and in particular the people who worked on them. He had a number of insights that he wanted to bring up, not just about yesterday's … Continue reading Lee & Kirby & Ditko & Everett & Brodsky: A Guest Post on DAREDEVIL #1 and Related Matters
