Issue 2 of PIs Michael Mauser and Ms Tree had a great history of hardboiled detectives in comics by Max Collins.

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 8-)
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

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.

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. :banana:
I don't think I've ever had a run of 47 consecutive issues of a series before I was intending to read. :headbang:

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

I'd be interested to know the mcs grade and what you grade it at. Based on the scan, it looks like a 6.5-7.0.

Still on an 80s kick, though I picked up all appearances of the Net Prophet, aka the New Universe's Justice, in Spider-Man 2099. Thanks, Peter David.

Ex-Mutants 1 (1st series) I've been wanting to try this for awhile
Spirit 1 (1983 from Kitchen Sink) See above comment
Kafka 1 (Renegade Press) looks like something I might like
First Adventures 1
Spider-Man 2099 12, 13, 14, 25D, 42, 44, and Annual 1
