Whovian's House Of Random Goodies

Well, I have a few things that I've really gotten into in an attempt to trim down my collecting focuses. I'll post a few of them in here. Might not blow anyone away, and sometimes I only bought them because they fit a "theme" and had a great cover. But, hopefully they'll be of interest to someone.

First, I love CGC Signature Series books, and have a few worth mentioning....

Andy & Joe Kubert

Jim Starlin

One of my greatest comic loves is Flash, and I have a very long term goal of getting every Barry Allen book from 200-350 slabbed in at least 8.0 for earlier issues, and 9.0 for later issues.

Here's the start...

And, as a great segue....

Kubert ROCKS!

Strangely, my love for Valiant and the art of Bob Hall, BWS, and others, rekindled a childhood love.

Way before I knew who Joe Kubert was, or what his effect on the history of comics was, I loved the old covers of Tarzan from DC, and many other titles. I wasn't into war books then, but still thought the covers were cool. Boy, if only I'd have picked up the 2 copies of G.I. Combat at the flea market I stumbled accross once for next to nothing way back then. That's the first Haunted Tank for anyone who doesn't know.

But, I'm slowly put together a collection that I can be a little proud of.

First, here's a few of the war books...

It's not in fantastic shape, but it is my only rear war key.

And, the Kubert love leaked over to other early war books...

Now, I don't really love early Image books. But, when these were new they were almost impossible to find at anything less than the unreasonably inflated prices they were at. So, when I saw these two in CGC SS 9.4 by William Messner Loebs on Ebay, I had to pull the trigger.

Especially at the scandalously low price I got them for.

This book was a must have for me. There aren't many opportunities to get the signatures of this many of my childhood heroes of comics. But, this is one of those rare opportunities.

See if you can make out all the names.

Just got this in. My first Flash Signature Series book.

I just couldn't get enough of Mike Grell's work when I was younger, and just had to have this when I saw it.
