This one has been in the collection for decades and when I was rebagging and boarding, I thought this one looks pretty nice so I had it graded at Heroescon. Bottom right corner keeps this from being super high grade. Love that Steranko cover. Just a classic.

And speaking of Mutants, did any of you read the New Mutants? I’m slowly grabbing the Sienkiwicz issues. May go back to issue 1 and just collect through the end of Bill’s run.

His art really freaked me out when I was younger but now I look at it and am blown away by a lot of it. It was a huge departure from what was on comic books for sure.

I only really picked it up for crossovers but I too recently started grabbing the Sienkiewicz issues recently. Only have the Demon Bear story so far. Hasn’t been a high priority.

Haha. Same. I’ve grabbed issues 19, 22, 24, and 26. Random selections, but they’ve been the issues I’ve run across lately. For some reason I had issue 47 in my collection from my childhood. Only New Mutants I owned. I’ll try to finish out 18-27, then go 1 through 50 or so as I find them.

Finally got around to flipping through it tonight. Open the front cover, and what do you know. Mike Zeck autograph.

That's freaking cool. Was talking to some friends of mine who have been in comics way longer than I have and they said that's where they always got someone to sign. Cover signing wasn't really a thing until maybe the 90s and later.

Either way, that's just awesome.

I have picked up a few in the past that turned out to be Mark Jeweler variants, but this is the first signed issue. Pretty cool. And was a good reminder to me to figure out how to identify things like that about my collection so my family has a better idea of what they’re selling one day down the road after I’m gone.

If you are into Mark Jewelers check out my buddy @west_coast_davengers live sales on YT. He lives near a military base in Washington and is always finding collections full of them.

I’ll definitely check it out. I think I had his eBay store saved at one time. I don’t look for the MJ variants, but if I wind up with one, I’ll take it.

Need two more issues to finish the Hulk Crossroads storyline. Have decided to fill in that stretch of my Hulk collection through McFarlane’s run. I’m enjoying rereading some of the Hulk issues from my childhood. I find I simply prefer the comics from the early to mid 80s.

Also was rebagging some of my Image comics. Has me rereading my old Maxx and Spawn comics. May finish the Maxx series one day. I have the first 15 or so issues. I stuck with Spawn through issue 51, then fell off. Wish I had stuck with that series during the low-run stretches.
