Take note of the date scribbled in red pencil on the character’s light beam.

My quest for keys and iconic covers from the 80’s continues.

Also ran across this Incredible Hulk 102 that was in such absolute pristine shape and had to pick it up.
I cannot believe just how flawless this book is for being nearly 60 years old.

So, this weekend I found out about a small collectors toy show and decided to swing by.

Only a few vendors with a few boxes but I did discovers a couple of gems in perfect condition.
NM #1 also signed in the interior by Bob McCleod.

Which ones did you luck out on?!

So, my second batch of comics I decided to shift gears and pull back on the spending a bit.
I snagged these two iconic covers from the 80’s for a pretty reasonable price and in excellent condition.
My main goal this time around on the comic book game is to acquire the major keys and most iconic covers from the 80’s.
Luckily I grew up during that era and already have a few in my collection.

I used to have the first two year run of Web of Spiderman but sold it many moons ago so Ive decided to restart the series again with #1 beginning with the iconoc cover by Charlie Vess.

As for X-men 251, never owned it before but it is another amazing and iconic cover from the 80’s so I had to have it.

These were two of my grail books when I was growing up.
Finally part of my collection.

I started collecting when I was about 10 in the early 80’s and did manage to pick some nice key issues at cover price during that time.
I also remember there were a certain books that I really wanted but a kid my age just couldn’t afford it.
I quit collecting in early 2000’s but did have a few books slabbed a couple of years ago.

Last week, after digging up an old box of comics from my mom’s house, I decided to restart again.

I figured Im a bit older and have more money to burn so Im going to go on a bit of an 80’s nostalgia quest.

My collecting goal is-

1- Acquire every key issue, or popular cover art book that came out in the 80’s.

2- Replace some of my books that are in rough shape.

3- Pick up a few iconic Silver Age keys which I also wanted as a kid.

What’s your goal?
