Don't you love when you are looking for that next comic book to add to your collection and you are looking at rows and rows of long boxes, hoping to find a jem and lo and behold you find one. Let me tell you of a few experiences I have had on the hunt.
One of the best buys I still think I have had out of the comics I have gotten was Thundercats #1 from Marvel. It was in a 50¢ long box and the book itself is a mid grade book, about a 5 or 6, which can go for about $12. An instant win!
The next was DC Comics Presents #26 and #47, issue 26 being the first appearance of Raven,Starfire and Cyborg and Issue 47 being the Masters of Universe's first appearance in a regular, DC, comic book (The action figures included mini-comic books) and this is the first appearance of He-Man as Prince Adam; In this point of time, the animated cartoon had not been aired. He-Man, in the original mini-comic books included in the first action figures series, had no secret identity. I bought both at mid grade, 6 or 7, for a total $85. Alone that is what each can cost at that grade. I almost died when I found those in that long box!
Next is one of those cool, one off finds. Uncanny X-Men #132, purchased to help complete the run of the Dark Phoenix Saga. I didn't think anything of it, but when I opened the book, on the front page, it was signed by Terry Austin! Now that's cool.
These are just a few of some cool "On the Hunt" stories from me, and I would love to here some of yours. I know we all have interesting ones to tell.
