Another Good Show. I recommend Bronze and Modern Gods and Tales from my spinner rack. I will make sure to go have a look at the other guests.

Thanks for the walk thru of the show.

New sub sent over by Brian - LCS. I have a very large comic book collection (Marvel), but generally only show sports cards on my channel. However, I wanted to add a few channels like yours to my sub list.

I enjoy Challengers Of The Unknown but the title doesn't seem to have found an audience in the last few decades despite several varied takes on the team. On your recommendation David I've ordered Stan's "Amazing Fantastic Incredible", as a bonus I got the hardcover for the paperback price. I'm really looking forward to reading this one.

Cap B premiered in 1976 not 1978. My original copy from that day in October is still in my collection.

Good research. I always thought the GS Spider-man issues looked rushed and not up to par with the ASM books at the time. Someone sold the color guide art for Super-Giant Spider-man #1 a few years back, featuring 100 pages for 60 cents. Same cover more or less as GS SM 1.

I am watching this late. Excellent show everyone! Very entertaining!

Great goals for next year, Dave! I'm also hoping a nice copy of Mister Miracle #1 is in my future. Cheers, friend!

I'm on the other side of Australia and I didn't even know this existed.

Good luck mate, a very eclectic range of books 👍👍👍

Fun list, Dave! Good luck and happy hunting!

Oh my gosh these big mega-crossovers are always so hard to follow! 😁

Goodluck with your comic endeavours.

Good targets , I look forward to the journey of watching you hunt them down, send me your email address and I will keep my ear to the ground for you here in the UK especially for the Silver UK price variants.

Cheers to 2025 and achieving these goals. Great video

The problem with comic book collecting goals is that they're mostly easy to achieve if you have a computer and money. Frankly, it's just shopping. UNLESS, you do restrict yourself to making purchases "in the wild," in which case it would indeed be challenging, especially in Australia! Good luck, and Happy New Year.

You probably know but there are a few of that #5 Haunted House on ebay, I take it, IT depends on what you want to pay and condition?

Great titles! Excellent voice, and excellent editing! These books are in your future!

Not planning on a lot then, lol! Good Luck!

Wow, what great covers on FOOM. Awesome pick ups in 2024! I picked up ASM 129 at Heroes.

Watching on the rewind! This looks like its going to be a great show!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all the way from Superman country (Kansas, USA not Krypton). I have really enjoyed your channel this year. From day one you’ve had engaging content and very professional quality videos. Getting into UK price variants and Judge Dredd from this channel’s influence. Good luck next year!!

Congratulations and Seasons Greetings, a job well done Sir and good luck with the signed Mister Miracle # 1 going forward, I have a few of the fourth world books in the collection signed by Kirby but in all my years of collecting I dont recall seeing a Mister Miracle # 1 signed by Kirby , it is something that I would have bought had I come across it, but no doubt they will be out there and the good thing about MM#1 it is a book that seems to hold its condition well, good luck with sourcing it, I am sure that you will find one eventually.

Amazing

Awesome books! Thanks for sharing your reflection on this year's goal!

Wonder if Edgar Church had a copy of the Stan Lee 1947 book? 👍🖖

Congrats on the goals smashed! I'm glad you got that Stan Lee book, I tracked one down a few years ago and it's a treat!

Congrats Mate 👍🔥🤘🔥👍 Incredible books you have tracked down for your collection 👍

Wondrous Worlds of Doctor Strange story was initially printed in ASM Annual #2.

Besides GSXM #1 (way out of my price league now) - I completed the run finally around 3 years ago. Fantastic books all round and a great selection of classic reprint material too ... must have in my onion.

I don't think they were evenly distributed. They weren't exported to the UK and could only get them here from dealers. Appearing quarterly should have allowed the writers and artists to develop better stories and art rather than producing them faster on a monthly basis. Their thinly spread distribution and the fact that Marvel were discontinuing some of their best comics at the time they were being finished, are the main reasons I think for their cancellation.

At least you didn't put your Giant-Size Man-Thing on the internet for all to see.

Thanks for helping me revisit my childhood.

Very thorough explanation of the rather convoluted history of Marvel's Bronze Age Giant-Size books David. I'd be surprised if the upcoming G.S. Omnibus includes the Doc Savage story from G.S. Spider-Man #3 due to rights, similar to the G.S. Conan stories not being included. These comics are far from under-appreciated: G.S. X-Men, Invaders and Super-Villain Team-Up launched their respective series and Avengers featured important stories which connected with the regular monthly title. However some titles such as the Westerns and G.S. Marvel Triple Action are hard to find because fewer were sold at the time of their release, Westerns having fallen out of popularity and Triple Action being completely reprints.

I love those Giant size books. Brings back memories of my youth. 😊

Beautiful

Fantastic collection! I bought a few of these off the newsstand back in '75. Still have them.

Giant-size Invaders 2 was axed in favor of the first 3 issues of the invaders

Great video! I’ve read some of these but the only one I still own is Giant Size X-Men #1.

I wish I could give you a GIANT SIZED thumbs up. Great video and books!

Great interview I’m in the US and I’ve noticed that 1 US comic does 2 to 3 UK weekly for example mighty world of marvel 190 & 192 have US covers but 191 is not a US cover so are these new covers from US or done in-house UK? I’ve always wondered

What happened to Giant sized spider-man #1 with Dracula?

These books will be reprinted in an omnibus next year. But it will omit the Conan content as Marvel no longer has the license for the character. The book will have over 1,300 pages. Great video.

Those are amazing books!

I had no idea you were an artist. Great art all around. Sorry I missed the live.

I've owned several of these! In the 70s i was busy with college and wish I had been collecting then.

Never seen these before !!
