Nice episode. Queen City Comics in Buffalo NY. Those guys are the best in town. The owner (myself) enjoys the mythology of the hobby and those who just love comic books. Stop by!!!

Here's something I just discovered: the story on Page One of that Sheriff of Tombstone issue (0.52 in your video) actually was printed in the comic Fightin' Navy #94 from 1960 -- so I believe the interior of that Sheriff issue is not the right one, someone put the Sheriff cover on a Navy comic...! (Both were Charlton series.) You might want to alert the shop owner that it's an incorrect match.

...then we'll fight in the shade...!

Cool Christmas @ G&G>..!

You should check out Sound-Go-Round in Vestal, NY. Sorry if you go broke on your trip though😆You need to get there pretty early because you'll be there the whole day looking. I live an hour away

i think that one detective 276 is a golden age, usually 10 centers are from the golden age

We support the people that we like. That's why we support you❤

HAHAHA The band has nothing to do with it unless they jumped down and cause the injury themselves. I play in bands and people can do what they want at our shows we are kinda busy and helpless to do anything about it. Security has little control in the pit, it is usually up to the pit goers to use Pit Etiquette hahahah have fun but don't kill anyone.

I LOVE THE SPECTRE!!!💚 Do I want to know how much that Batman #500 was?

I went to a nearby comic shop and the owner was a major dbag!! He tried selling me the current issue of a comic when I didn't have the first 2 issues. Then he says "You don't know anything about comics do you?" GFY buddy!! Why the hell am I going to start in the midddle of a story arc!!! It's Comics For Collectors in Ithaca, NY by the way. I've heard other negative stories about the owner.

Nice Titans grab...!

I was thinking it was set in Congress!

It always pisses me off how they always made Jimmie Olsen black after the movies!!! Nothing like sticking to the source materials. SMH

Really cool pick ups. This new year I've only able to pick up some bronze age FF, Conan the Barbarian and funny enough book 4 of the judas contract Tales of the teen titans

You passed up 1st Karen Beecher who later become bumble bee. @3:57

Purple is the bomb. Nice pickup.

Managed to pick up a set of KINGDOM COME # 1-4 @ $25...!

Blackest Night is one I STILL need to catch up on...! Really more of a Marvel guy (aside from Superman and Swamp-Thing!)

TEc is really more interesting as it focuses more on what make Batman unique...! Ever read The Button, centering on case with Batman and Flash investigating one one of Comedian's Smile Buttons...?

NICE SA haul! Have a blast reading them...!

Subbed...!

Glad you found those Dollar Tree books! Been enjoying your videos esp. the movie-oriented one! Nice to see somebody enjoying the classic b/w films...!

Detective Comics Comics rules.

I would have gone ham on that $5 bun!

I saw some decent books. I definitely would have bought a bunch of those. May have to make a trip!

Purple cover lovers unite! Always liked that cover color *so* much, 2 of my favorites were: Flash 247 (1977) and DC Special 24 (1976) -- both of which I bought off the stands way back then...! Nice 'Tec pickup for you: DC introduced very compelling, prominent women characters in the 1950s and '60s, great to see Batwoman covers; Lady Blackhawk is another to watch for.

Love Queen City Book Store. I picked though the $2 boxes not too long ago. I have a haul video on my channel. Very nice SA book you picked up as well as everything else you grabbed. Keep up the great videos. Always enjoy them.

Batmite! Very cool grab!

I actualy don;t have that Jimmy Olsen weird wedding one. I'll have to check that store next time I go see the Bills

$5 is too expensive. Those look like $1-$2 comics.

I always found something at Queen City Books! Just picked up Magnus the Robot 10 because on the fan art page is illustrated by Walter Simonson when he was probably still in high school! To my knowledge it’s his published work! Even has his cool signature for signing his artwork! Also got a EC war comic reprint! Great discount too! The back issues assortments are really good ! I found lots of great comics over the last few years!

DC's Absolute series is excellent reading. I like all of them and look forward to Absolute Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter

Nice grabs, I'm lucky enough to have 1st batmite appearance. Great book you got.

Got a comic book today

I only buy back issues at Ollie's good stuff cheap! I don't care about the new bs that Marvel and DC produce! Miles Morales is not Spider-Man because he wasn't created bye Stan Lee same goes for Spider Gwen!

And listening and headbanging to Slayer!

I don't really myself a diehard comic book collector. I tend to collect randomly from year to year. This year is the most I've been collecting for over a decade. I prefer to hunt in dollar bins and like to hunt in used book stores or in antique stores, which means that I don't usually have to deal with 'toxic collectors'. Also, when it comes to my local comic book shops, I prefer to stick to the shops that have a more welcoming 'feel' with good owners.

You got that for $5!!!? I paid at least $80 for mine in about the same condition. SCORE!

i read comic books in bed ' the radio on low. have you seen bambi vrs godzilla ? i was going to buy conan 23 '' people shooting their mouths have made that comic go way up in price .

I'm an atypical comic collector, with 27,000 books I've been collecting since I was a kid beginning in 1987. Being older and watching this industry over the decades, I'm seeing the younger generation don't read or collect comics. If we don't have new blood constantly trying to get into reading or getting involved breaking into comics or even the social media aspect, if they don't come in as older fans die then these books will die out and go away. The Library of Alexandria was set on fire and destroyed but it already fell into disrepair long before it burned. That's the horror of the future. If we aren't inclusive to all facets of comics, it hurts us all in the longrun.

I’ve been reading comics for quite some time and have learned to try NOT to drive off people coming in and point them in the direction of some good reading! These days there’s a variety of comics to pursue especially with the indie titles! As I’ve gotten older I got turned off to DC&MARVEL repetitive decline and concentrated on other titles, occasionally stepped back in depending on the creative team! I hate bloated croosovers with no ongoing consequences,numerous reboots and lame variant covers that saturate shops and are just another deterrent to a new reader audience in my opinion! Bait and switch nonsense,watering down stories and many characters have a big family of characters to slow things down! Super man, Batman, Flash, wonder, woman, and Spider-Man, just to name a few! But what’s old for me is brand new to somebody else and everybody has to find their own way! It’s foolish to alienate anyone!Retailers have a right to be pissed off at the big 2 antics and then there’s the recent Diamond distribution going under! No easy answers in the real world!

Awesome video yay

Absolutely agree with the point of this video

Honestly, fans of nearly any hobby can legitimately be called toxic. There is always a number of people that take their hobby too seriously and try to establish what is (and is not) the right way to enjoy that hobby. I have seen this in MANY hobbies over the years, from computer gaming, to RPGs, to comics, to Barbie collecting, to cosplay, to toy collecting (the list goes on). I think it’s just part of human nature.

I suppose my main complaint would be the judgements and assumptions from certain sections of the community. I'm a huge Lobo fan, and back 25 years ago a shop owner made fun of me for buying whatever the latest Lobo book was at that time. This was a book he was selling, I might add. To this day, 2.5 decades later, that comment stuck with me about how absolutely asinine it was to say, especially to a customer. (I actually left that shop soon after that.) For me these days, I'm fairly vocal amongst my friends and work about being a comic book guy. I wear comic-themed shirts and whatnot often, so I get asked a lot of questions. Sometimes about the hobby itself, often about the value of my collection, but also about the movies and other media. For example, a guy at my gym is playing Marvel Rivals and asked me "Is Squirrel Girl a real character?", as he had never heard of her prior to the game. I could respond in a million ways to things like that, but I always react the same way: With respect and shared enthusiasm. In my opinion, a rising tide raises all the ships, and if you're condescending or "eye rolling" in tone, then you're part of the problem. I believe I have one life, and I'm not going to spend it being a dick and/or surrounding myself with an echo chamber of dicks. My mission is and always will be to promote the positivity of the hobby. It's a hobby that has improved my life in drastic ways, and I want others to have the same positive, life-changing opportunity.

My gripe is the cost of new comics. A little less expensive printing and paper would help. Most of the stories don't warrant that extra cost plus the story arc are longer than they need to be. They're thinking of the reprint albums. More one, two, or three issue stories allow for jumping on points Reading is the thing..

I don't race swipes of established characters it's very lame😊

You are a spicy meatball 😅😂Well said. I just got back into collecting comics recently. There are a lot of great online comic creators, but unfortunately, there are bad apples everywhere. I do see where you are coming from, though. Positivity is the way to go!!

Cilia, I understand what you say about talking comics with some people out of community who are not into that hobby, and telling them some interesting facts about comics. That's pretty exciting to attract new readers. I often find myself in the situations like: - My favorite movie is Atomic Blonde. - Did you know that this movie is based on a comic? - Really? Where can I read that? Or: - I really like Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. - Do you know that there's a comic book continuation to that? - Wow, intriguing. That would be interesting to read.
