More in my Dr. Doom stuff. I have the first 8 issues of
Astonishing Tales (but only have the scans available for the first three).

Also have nearly completed my run for Super Villain Team-up
(not all are available as scans). I have the 30 cent variant for issue 6. The
series was fairly craptacular and underwhelming. They changed creative teams
almost every other issue and I don’t think anyone knew what to do with it. I
also can’t stand Sub-Mariner, so I’m sure that plays a part.

Posted this just before the old boards crashed, but I think I heard someone (Tex?) mention that they wanted to see my Man-thing again.

Good looking Man-Thing... those World of Fantasy comics looks good too. But I mean to read, don't read too much into my posts lol.

I just realized that I don't think I've posted anything that was issued in the last 30 years. As I only stopped buying new books around the turn of the century, these posts may give the impression that I never bought anything recent.
Here's my copy of Vengeance of Bane (which I sold off a few years ago for about 20x what I paid for it). I seriously think it would have graded a 9.8 if I had bothered to submit it for grading. I think the buyer was pretty happy with it.
I'll have to dig out some more modern stuff to scan at some point.

Another issue for my Dr. Doom collection. It's not really obvious that he's in the issue from the cover.

I think you're right.
MT#20 has such a cheating cover.
Worlds of Fantasy has a nice mix of cover artists. I'd like to add some more issues to my collection.

Yeah, I think you're right. I don't recall it going down that way inside the book...
It would make a nice cover to have the OA for though.

Indeed.
I don't have any John Romita art. A cover with Spidey AND the ever-lovin blue-eyed Thing would be pretty special.

For much of the '90s, I was mostly interested in manga, as the titles from the big 2 were becoming more and more 'image-d', and I didn't care for that trend at all. That's why I was able to pick up these off the shelf after the long hiatus before the series was completed. Akira had some fantastic art in it.

I am also considering trying to complete a run of Menace. I realize that even at 11 issues only, this may take me years if I wish to pursue it as, as some of the issues rarely come up for sale, and when they do I often don't have money at hand to snag one. This series was the first time that Stan Lee decided to write the stories he wanted (knowing that the comics code was coming, I believe). The stories in this series are better written and plotted than many of the other similar titles from around that time. Anyway, these are the first pair that I have.

Just had this arrival of early Dr. Doom appearances.
The Hulk one completes the pair. With this Super Villain Team-up, I now have the full run. Looking forward to reading the Hero For Hire issues -- they have a massive reputation for being completely ridiculous (and maybe perhaps are the prime reason John Byrne created the 'doombots were used for all bad stories featuring Doom' explanation). Funny that Doom usually appears over two issues in those days...

Subby & the Cosmic Cube!?! That's neat. Why didn't I know about that one?
Did you notice, the last few issues of Super-villain team-up were published annually... what's the point in once a year for a series...
