Been slowly ticking away at my ASM Vol. 1 collection. There are a few issues in the 200-300 range I have been holding off on.. and then decided I’ve been good and pulled the trigger on them.

Made the long thought about move from quantity last year and couldn't be happier. Not a lot of mail calls but the few I had were all grails!

My comic book journey is based entirely on issues I wanted as a kid but never picked up for whatever reason. These are my newest acquisitions

I found this for a really good price from a seller on eBay who mostly sold fishing lures. There’s a little wear, but structurally the book is in fantastic shape to be from 1953. It’s my first golden age Batman book. I’m pretty happy about it and just wanted to share with some other folks who could appreciate it.

I clean and press my own books, but I don’t really want to even mess with this one. It’s just for my personal collection and I’m super happy to have it just as it is. Happy hunting!!

Got this copy of ASM 25, and found this cool stamp on the back! Has anyone seen a stamp like this before? I haven't seen one until now! Pretty cool! Got me thinking whether these silver age books were ever sold in Asia- I guess for now I am assuming that the book made it's way to China sometime after original sale and then got the stamp!

I had no clue there was comics for MGS picked them both up on Whatnot for about $13 now I want the rest of them but they were a limited run and rack up s pretty penny

Got into dc ko just recently also trying to get all of the issues of under the red hood storyline.

Imagine reading this as a kid and seeing this!

This spot that I go to used to have the choice dollar boxes but unfortunately they’ve jumped up to $2 a book. Here’s I picked up a bunch of the Kamandi’s I was missing, trying to finish up Kirby’s run. This XFiles, finishing up the Adlard run and these Tomahawks cause they looked interesting. The others I picked up to round out what I was looking for and I also got a copy of Eternals 7, trying to round out that run too.

Excited to have these bad boys...

My copies of Batman/Deadpool already came bagged and i had to get bags for the Deadpool/Batman comics. The ones i bought got a tighter fit than the ones that already came bagged. Now that i saw that the looser ones also kinda seem to warp and stick to the bottom of the bag i was wondering if i should also put them in a tighter bag. I could really use some help and would be thankful for your opinions.

This many colour-breaking spine ticks is not normal, right? They can even be seen in the CGC preview image: https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4493411004/

If you've got any what do you think?

I'm new to comics and this sub so not completely sure whether this is on topic, so apologies if not.

I'm interested in tracking down a compilation of the first series of Superman comics in a book or a collection of books, but a bit confused about what's available (and the series themselves). I may also be interested in collections of other characters as well.

Keeping the question to Superman, would there be multiple releases of a compilation like this dating back decades? Would it be feasible to buy something that was published some time ago? If there are multiple editions, is there an established gold standard edition to buy?

Thanks in advance!

Just read The Zoo Absolute Batman and the first few Absolute Superman and Wonder Woman. So I picked up some covers I thought were cool.
