That’s the first issue I remember buying with my own money

I tell you what, it sure would be nice if Alabama could move beyond the Jim Crow era. “Polite southern Christian” racism is still racism.

Today’s #comics quick flip!

They really are!

Yeah that’s definitely the stage I’m at now. When I started getting heavily back in it was easy—the list was bigger, more common, and relatively inexpensive.

As I knocked things out all of those variables definitely got tougher

For sure. And there are plenty of other weirdos out there—folks who only collect undergrounds or 80s indies or Gold Key. I’m sure they feel the pain too.

I watched folks go through boxes this weekendand pull out book after book and did feel a twinge of envy hah

When it comes to back issue collecting, I really am starting to think that I’m a pretty extreme outlier. Dealers and sellers have lots of stuff, but very little “for me.”

I am well aware that this is a “me” problem. And to be clear, it doesn’t frustrate me. It’s more of a challenge.

This Week’s Pickups: April 14-20, 2026. Convention Special! YouTube video by Doc’s Comics

Today’s video is up! Con swag and other gets this week. Also a wee bit of con footage #comics

Much less than I was assuming. So it was finally time

I can’t believe I’ve made it this long without the OCD demanding me to integrate!

2026 back issue acquisitions now require a second short box

Better than I was expecting, tbh. So I’m pretty pleased. It cut unexpectedly into my heroes con budget as a result, though. Hah!

I graded it a VF- which isn’t bad for that book

Convention pile for the weekend

I do my best!

Will post the whole con’s worth of gets sometime tonight

Quick Flip: Incredible Hulk 102-111. #hulk #marvel #comics #silveragecomics YouTube video by Doc’s Comics

Today’s #comics quick flip—the last few issues of Hulk!

Just two pickups at the con today. One was a pretty nice find though.

Oh yes definitely not a mini con. Several thousand attendees

Quick Flip: Marvel Premiere 1-12. #comics #bronzeagecomics #marvel #drstrange YouTube video by Doc’s Comics

Today’s #comics quick flip—capping off Marvel Premiere!

Found five books today. Will reveal all at the end of the con

I haven’t done any yet. Not sure if it is my style hah

Huntsville Comic and Pop Culture Expo. My local con

Convention bound momentarily. Expectations are low but hopes are high :)

That’s usually what I do too. But when previous sales are tiny or nonexistent, overstreet is about all we have to form a starting point

I usually go a smidge higher than what overstreet says, especially for scarcer stuff. But it also depends on how much I want something.

47 posted himself as Jesus. They are going after the pope. Kegsbreath says a prayer from Pulp Fiction.

These “Christian nationalists” are way more nationalist than Christian. They are just pretending to fool the unwashed masses

And it still works. Sad.

Thanks!
