G'day fellow collectors, Well after the demise of our first forum (took me two years to build a back issues thread Lol).
But it's all good now & i'm happy to start anew!
So here we go...Enjoy.
Ghost Rider #15, Vol.3. July 1991. One of my favorite covers.
DC Comics Super Heroes, NM. 1989, 5th printing give'a'way.
The Vertigo Gallery #1, NM. January 1995. Cameo: Preacher. This came out the same month as Absolute Vertigo. Has only one pin up of the preacher gang.

This is for anyone who has the need for a an awesome collection, Hope i've inspired you...Enjoy!
ASM #65, NM. October 1968. I was lucky to have bought this from a great seller who kept it for me. He said it was to good to have given it to just anyone...Much appreciated i was. It will be slabbed one day!
UXM #127, -NM. November 1979. One of the best ever X-Men story arcs. What a movie it would make!
Strange Tales #135, F. August 1965. 1st App: S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, Hydra, Imperial Hydra, Agent H & S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
Fantastic Four Annual #2, -VF. September 1964. Origin of Dr.Doom, 1st App: Doomstadt & Dr. Doom's Castle.
JLA: Riddle of the Beasts (Elseworlds) HC, February 2002. Cover by Justin Sweet. HTF HC.

Warrior Magazine, -VF. March 1982. 1st App: V for Vendetta & Modern Age Marvel-man (Miracleman)
Secret Origins Special, -F. June 1961. Well what can i say...1st reprint of all the best DC had to offer at the time, Including The Flash. Not an easy book to find in any condition, Paid $40 for this copy 
Supernatural Thrillers #1, VF. December 1972. 1st App: It. Jim Steranko cover. Not a book that's seen all that often.
Batman Adventures Special: Mad Love, NM. February 1994. Origin: Harley Quinn & Her 2nd Appearance. Everyone's after a copy of this book, But it was low print.

I saw a copy of that Supernatural Thrillers #1 at a con a few months back from a great seller. Ended up buying some of the Sterenko X-Men instead. I keep wondering if I should have tried to cut a better deal and add one more comic to the bundle. Didn't realize that it was a hard issue to find. You have a whole whack of cool issues there, Gil.
Thanks Doug!
Supernatural Thrillers #1 isn't rare but i think it was one of those books that wasn't popular in the day, So maybe many copies were ruined by time or just thrown out. It is very hard to find in a higher grade.
I have never seen a copy of number 2. Which also graces a cover by Steranko. I have both reprints of them (Masters of Terror) Magazine.
You mean these?
I have to get better pictures, but I believe my #1 is upper grade (but perhaps not high grade).
My first post to the new forum (I preferred being 'thatjerk', but I guess I'm stuck with my price guide ID now. I find the new forum slow to load, so not sure how much I'll be posting.

You got SWEETIES in that batch!!!
There's an Elseworlds story that I haven't read?!! I NEED IT!!
Warrior #1 isn't just the 1st app of V for Vendetta, it is the first appearance of Alan Moore's superhero deconstruction tale, Marvel Man - it was the return of Marvel Man, Alan Moore style. He became Miracle Man for American audiences (and probably to quell any problems with Marvel Comics).
1st Nick Fury as SHIELD Agent...and 1st SHIELD and Hydra!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Great books, Gil!!
TEX
Thanks Tex!
I'll never forget the day i found Warrior Mag #1 (so hard to find now being a Brit Magazine). It's a solid investment for the future.
Strange Tales #135 is a book among books to have. I can only now wonder what aspiring young comic collectors are thinking...wishing they have that piece of history, Which includes the Kirby goodness that goes with it!
Good luck in finding a copy of JLA Riddle of the beasts. It is a good read.
There was a soft cover of it as well. Wouldn't mind finding a copy of it myself.

Thanks Tex!
I remember when i first got that ASM #306 (mid 90's) & thought "i seen that from somewhere else, Hmm..." Lol.
UXM #244 is a sleeper in my opinion, Jubilee could be a cool character in the movie's if done right.

I hope you are right about uncanny 244 being a sleeper of a book. I got 8 copies of it in varies grades. In the late 90's I would pick them up when I'd see them cheap. Still a cheap 1st appearance seeing how things are now.
I really enjoyed the writing between Wolverine and Jubilee in the 90's Xmen and Wolverine books in the 90's. They had a great story going for them. Didn't enjoy her becoming a vampire though.

A Marvel Movie Special #1 (Time Bandits), VF+. February 1980.
Time Bandits?? That's so cool... I've got to get my hands on one. I love Terry Gilliam's work (Brazil is one of my favorite movies ever).
Great thread.

A local comic shop here put on a talk with Terry Gilliam years ago, that I was lucky enough to attend. When he asked my name for signing my Holy Grail, I told him initially 'eBay buyer'.
