Nice pick ups Gil. The Spider-Man book as you mentioned has a nice cover art. Nice to see you are still seeking second and later printings. Hope you are doing well.

G'day HR, Thanks for the kind comments mate.
I'm trying to get all those great spider-man books from that time during the mid - late 90's. Right when i was into comic books. They aren't as easy to find in NM as i thought but they are still very cheap so no rush!
90's or later 2nd printings are fun to hunt down as they hold there weight for what they are.
Not like today's 4th & 5th printings & beyond. One had to be lucky to pick up a 2nd printing back then.

Some old stuff from my collection.
Camelot 3000, 2nd print TPB. I fortunately have all 12 original issues as well.
Great story, They don't make them like this no more 
The Big Book of Martyrs. There where heaps of them. Most very low print.
I have about 7 issues.of the series
Big Book of Death. The most adult comic book i own. Not a book to have lying around for unstable minds to find, Actually shows you how to commit..Uh hum.
But a fun read for those who are stable Lol.
A novel in comic book form, Not sure what print this is. The movie with Tom Hanks was one of the best gangster movies made.
Has some cool Todd McFarlane covers. Does not have ASM #301 though, One of my favorite ASM covers.
Back when Rouge was a woman...not a teenager.
Conan the Rouge, Possibly the best Conan story ever. Ends in a uniquely Conan way, I had to do weights to expel the manliness i built up after reading it Lol.
Industrial Gothic, Have all 5 issues. Is about a world where ugliness is criminal.

Brian Bolland's art was nice in Camelot. I think I had some early issues from when it first came out. I don't Think I own them all.

"The Big Book Of Death" actually SOUNDS like a kid's book. "Big Book Of Trains"... "Big Book Of Cats"... etc. Very weird.

Some nice books i just picked up, Enjoy!
War is Hell #1, VF. January 1973. Reprints "BATTLE" #55 (1957) Cover by Herb Trimpe.
Blitzkrieg #1, -F.
Dead of Night #1, F+. December 1973. Reprints "Adventures into Weird Worlds #6" (1952).
Nice copy, I'd like to find all of these one day. Cover by John Romita Sr.
Supernatural Thrillers #2, -VF. February 1973. Sweet copy of a book that I've been after for some time now, It paid to wait.
I'll do a side by side comparison of them with the reprinted mags Masters of Terror later  Cover by Jim Steranko.

Nice! IN the early 70s Marvel did quite a few horror titles: Chamber of Secrets, Chamber of Chills, Where Creatures Roam, Where Monsters Dwell, etc.

I've had all those issues for a long time. Blitzkrieg cost some money. Kubert Nazi comics are fun reading. Love those 70s Marvel horror reprints. The originals are elusive and not cheap. A good way to figure out if you like that type of story without spending $100s per book.

Yeah right about the originals Robbie, They are way out of my league now.

This is sentimental because I remember buying Supernatural Thrillers #2 & War is Hell #1 as a kid. I read the hell out of Supernatural Thrillers #2, so my copy is in poor condition now. I don't think that series was reprints.

And some more awesomeness, Enjoy!
Crisis on Infinite Earths #1, NM. April 1985. Newsstand copy.
Tower of Shadows #1, -F. September 1969. Has an all star line-up for the time. Jim Steranko, John Romita Sr., Sam Rosen, John Buscema, Don Heck & Stan Lee. John Romita Cover.
King Size Special Tower of Shadows #1, -VF. December 1971. A much harder issue to find, So happy to have found in a higher square-bound grade copy.
Reprints Journey into Mystery #61 (1952) & Tower of Shadows #1 - 2. Cover by John Romita Sr.

I'll confess. In 45 years of collecting, I've never seen the series Master of Terror.
An oddball series from the time frame that I did like was Red Wolf. Normally western comics did not appeal to me.

It was a short lived series Defiant1 only 2 issues in the run.
I picked them years ago & quickly picked on the fact they were reprints of Supernatural Thrillers thus my quest begun.
Love getting the similar issues or reprints with there originals, I feel complete when that happens & i can move on to the next lot.
