I was planning at some point in the near future to do this for titles from 1983 because it is the year I was born.

Dang youngin's.....





-slym

agreed. Being born after the '70s is just foolishness.

ditto...

After, reading Earl's very interesting endeavor, I've given thought to when I got into DC...and we would be talking 1970-71...reading from my brother's collection..The books he had, and the one's he bought...the one's that came out that year...trying to collect those, would probably break me, would have to see what i have in my own collection first..then go from there.

this could be fun..

CGC, what's that? I read my comics!!

I heard rumours that they are in the plastic sealant business.

Heh heh.  Good one.

Thanks for checking. Living in the UK issues of US comics were not aways easy to find for a young teen so I did indeed miss those issues of Tec back in 1982. I finally picked them up about 10 days ago which is why CPG shows I now have them but the checklist I posted earlier in this thread shows I stilll need them.

My up to date checklist looks like this...

Earl,

Are you sure that you don't already own all of the Detective Comics issues from 510-521? According to your world list of what you own, you have all 12 issues. The issues you are missing are 507 and 509. [...]

I checked out your collection because I was curious to see which House of Mystery issue you were missing.

Back in '82 I had purchased a single issue of HoM for the whole year. I bought it to cut out a back cover order coupon. I did not intend to make it part of my collection. Nevertheless, it was a very good read. I was introduced to Andrew Bennett, I...Vampire and the plot involved another take on Jack the Ripper. It sported a cover by Joe Kubert, and nice artwork by Tom Sutton. Even though I liked it, I did not continue with the series that year because I already had too many other titles on my plate.

I did pick up the series the following year - after I had culled some other titles that I was getting disinterested with - upon noticing an issue with a cover by Mike Kaluta. I continued with it until the demise of Andrew Bennett later in '83. I remember that I regretted that I hadn't continued with the title from my introduction the previous year.

Anyways, I thought that it would be freaky if the one issue that I have from 1982 was the one issue that you are missing. Well, guess what! It is!!

You can have it if you want it.

That's amazingly generous of you but it's probably not worth the cost of mailing it out to the UK. I appreciate the thought though.

Earl.
