Issue 2 of PIs Michael Mauser and Ms Tree had a great history of hardboiled detectives in comics by Max Collins.StarBrand wrote:I purchased PIs Michael Mauser and Ms Tree 1-3, which is the complete series, from First Comics, circa 1985. This series predated the Ms Tree series I'm working on, and I wanted to check it out. I also picked up Ms Tree 2 and 3.

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
Bought some nm/m copies of:
Ren & Stimpy (Marvel) - always wanted a full run of these. eeeediot!
Bill & Ted (Marvel) - Heard good things about this comic run
ALF (Marvel trade) - 50 cents seemed like a good deal for this comedic legend
Robocop 1-23 (Marvel) - Classic Robo comics
Tek World 1-24 (Marvel) - William Shatner's '90s sci-fi comic series. I have the tv movies still on netflix queue
Crimson Empire I & II - These were selling pretty high a couple months ago so I got another set of each

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
I bought a Spec Spidey #1 CGC 9.6. I figure that I'll never own a high grade ASM #1 so I may as well get a Spec 1 HG while I can since it's coming up on 40 years old. It's a sweet 9.6 with one tiny spine mark away from a 9.8.

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
Just scored a run of Ms Tree 4-50 on eBay for just a bit over .50 per book on eBay. I had picked up 1-3 of the series, so this was absolutely the perfect run for me. 
I don't think I've ever had a run of 47 consecutive issues of a series before I was intending to read.

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
I bought this beeyotch at a con the other day. I'm officially down to only needing issue #1 on DD.
And I just noticed that I've unintentionally accumulated a few dupes of the early DD issues - 3, 6, 8, 15, etc. I must've screwed up my lists at some point. Between selling those and moving some other stuff I don't want any more - SA Avengers, FF, Thor, etc, I should be able to scrape together enough to get a beat, but complete #1.

Congrats, nice copy! and I love that cover. Those are nice dupes too.
My DD list is down to 12 books for the full run. I'm missing 11 various issues between 38 and 93 + issue 124.

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
Just picked up Cary Nord's complete Daredevil run, and yep...they were as good as I remembered.
Also picked up the Dr. Strange Infinity Gauntlet issues. I guess I was spoiled by the Infinity Gauntlet mini and especially the Silver Surfer crossovers, because the Dr. Strange issues were pretty lame.

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
I picked up Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman 2-5. Also bought the three issue mini, Agent Unknown, which was put out by Renegade. Just a few things I want to read.

Re: Discuss Your Comic Purchases
So far, I've only read the first issue of Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Mailman. I guess I would best explain it as sort of a surreal humor book. I thought the first issue was funny, and since I can pick them up for about a buck each I wanted to check more of them out.ian_house wrote:Sounds interesting!

I just have a hunch I'm going to enjoy Agent Unknown. I want to check out more Renegade books, and I paid about a buck each.
