Good to be back, Looks like HR has been holding the fort answering noob questions (your a champion my friend).
OK, I went to Sydney for 4 days & did the Rocks Ghost tour (must for anyone, Lots of fun!) Spent time at some 150+ yr old pubs. Experienced the Vivid festival (lights shows) & went to Supernova. I'll try & post some pics later, Didn't get to much but was happy with what i got.

Check in later ... smile

Cool buys Gil! Once again you got another book I have never seen, Paragon Software book.
Nice you enjoyed your four days at Sidney. I wondered where you were after a few days seeing no help with questions, thought you gave up on here. Glad you had a good excuse and are back now.😜

Looks beautiful, lucky you. On a side note, your men's football/soccer national team played well against Germany today. Looks like a good team, I hope they get far in the Cup.

They can be a good team HR, I'm more into Cricket & Footy (Ruby League). Thinking of going back to Sydney to watch the Grand Final in October.

Some new pick-ups! Enjoy.

Lucifer/Swamp Thing Preview, VF. 2000. I never collected the Swamp Thing series from that time but i did collect Lucifer & this preview goes well with it.




UXM #305, NM. October 1993. 1st App: The Phalanx.




UXM #376, NM. January 2000. A sweet newsstand copy.




Wolverine 97' Annual, NM. Fantastic book all round.




Marvel Holiday Special 1994, NM. January 1993. Can't believe i found such a nice copy & it's a variant to boot. Can you spot Bart Simpson on the cover??
Note: There was no issue for "1995" but was for "1996". This book has different stories then the regular '94 issue & the indica has the date "1993", Maybe there was a stuff up & one of them was released earlier then it should have ??? This seems to be the one to get though out of the whole lot, Keep an eye out for it.

I've heard that Miracleman #15 is a difficult book to find. Based on your years of looking, it seems correct.

I'm guessing you are from Australia Gilgandra from the G'day? wink Same here, it is normally cheaper to just buy the CGC book online rather than send one off to be graded. Some good stuff you have there.

Nice books Gilgandra, the F Troop books look nice and clean. Crazy tv show, liked it as a kid. The Batman Adventures Holiday Special is. Great grade, I got graded too.
X-Men 4 I’d like to have, Omaga Red is bad ass, Bloodscream I forgot about, always a good reason to reread Wolverine.
