You should add MC2 and Wildstorm to the DU list.

So 6 years later and no posts its really time to get this going again right :)

I now have 140 boxes to go through, of which id say 60 are in lovely order and the rest need filtering, many are upgrades and multiples to check, so if i end up with close to 80 i will be surprised.
Had a couple of really amazing pick ups though. Two lots of ten plus long boxes of indy books in high grade, read once, original owner stylee :) In the UK we see most of these books languishing in cheap bins being slowly munched and its sad, so these pick ups made me happy. Tail end 80's with lots of dark horse, who despite doing great in terms of licensed product, i love all the early books and want to complete the 80's as if they were a DU :)

So tell me who still collects any of these and if so what gems have you managed to pick up.

Also many many publishers to add to the main list now :)

Overall the whole thing needs re doing.

chat soon
