Got these two beauties today

Was digging through the bins in my neighborhood and bought this on an impulsive whim. Opened it up when I got home to find a pleasant surprise 😀

For me, it’s forgetting I have pending bids with a seller and I pay for books before they all resolve and end up paying extra shipping

third would be buying doubles despite having CLZ

(Above the McFarlane, obviously...)
I can make out "Hoo-Ha", but that's it...

I have wanted to read this for a long time, and since I had lots of free time today I thought it would be fun to visit some local comic shops and try to put together the complete run from the dollar boxes. Five stores and dozens of dollar boxes later, I was able to find 51 out of 52 issues. The only issue I didn’t find in a dollar box was #11, so I went ahead and bought it for a few bucks out of the regular back issue boxes at the final shop I visited. I’m excited to start reading now!

Just got into collecting, started with the horror genre since it’s my favorite movie genre. Just a question, is this a sought after genre or do people generally just want a lot of money for them due to dates?

Stan Lee tribute comic, 120 copies worldwide.

Unless its a single whats shown has the entire series set. Just packaged atm and dont want to open the wrap until i have proper display cases for them

I picked this up recently. It's the second appearance of Phoenix and the first meeting of Spiderman and Wolverine.

Cool Book

My 6-year-old says the top 3 are Jack King Kirby, Steranko, and Neal Adams

Who would you say is #4?

Cool book.

Nothing crazy but lots of fun stuff

Am I just mishandling my comics that badly?? Did I ruin them??

All of my comics are bagged and boarded (non-mylar). I have them in BCW stackable short boxes. A few years ago we moved them from the spare bedroom to my heated garage. Sadly the heater had gone on the fritz several times over the years so the garage wasn't always heated, but it's always been dry. It's not used for car storage or anything, mostly collectables and housewares. We rarely open the doors. There's no AC so the summer can get warm, but we're in Alaska so temps over 80° aren't super duper common.

For reference this is the same comic and bag for ASM 42, first photo from 2014, (about 6 years before going into the garage), second from 2026. I have even earlier comics (ASM 6, 7, 9) that have even more yellowing but I don't have any comparative photos like above, and I honestly don't remember if they used to be so blatantly colored.

My collection is large (30+ short boxes) and it seems like many of my silver age stuff is looking yellower than I remember. Have I just screwed over my collection or is this me overreacting/overthinking?

I'm in the process of converting half of the garage into my official office which is the other reason why the comics are out there. Advice? Experience? Looking for insight. I plan on at least upgrading my bags to mylar.

Got my Batman And the Monster Men trade and when I put it in my shelf it continues to stay warped for some reason and even when pressed tightly between books it won't return to form. Help!

Filling in some gaps in my collection.
