Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes What I found today at my LCS!

Blacula, I completely agree. That was the era that brought him back from the Wertham inspired insipidness of the sixties.

Today's haul:

Superboy and the Legion: 227, 255(never had), 262, 266, 273, 277, and 289. Some I've had before, but they wore out. So, I replace them.

Not sure if anyone posted this already but here it is anyway.

Today on "Searchin for shit you never had" Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes 260, 261, 263 and 265.

Plus, I put a lot of old Iron Man in my pull. And found an old Wolfman/Perez Titans I never had before.

Nothing this week. It's Carol's birthday and I'm trying to get her a nice Vanity chair or swivel stool. So, that's where the monet goes this week.

If you sold the Monet, you'd have plenty of cash for both presents and comics!

And buy her the Claude Monet graphic novel. Who knew? There's a comic about everybody.

Give Carol our best. Only you should see what we're really like.

What I find in my LCS is that I begrudge paying the pennies for the new books more and more. I think getting advance orders might have weaned me off going into the shops. They had the collected Justice League of Detroit discounted at £90! Discounted! ($128 or 515 Venturan Walking Credits)

Oh, and there's this

I never knew he was Billy Idol's inspiration!

Nothing old today, but I did get Action 1,000 staring the founder of the feast, so to speak.

I could have shaved a Monet off the title and put him in a leather jacket...

Low haul today. All the old stuff was Iron Man. Saw a guy with a box of what looked like his kids books, and one of them was a legion, but I've got two of them, so I didn't get it. 301 I think it was.

I went back into the shop where I got my '80s haul. Just whatever more recent bits and pieces left. I also visited a shop I used to have an advance order with. it's now a rather uninviting toy shop with a much smaller comics selection. Mind you, it had it's uninviting moments when li'l thoth first visited it too.

I went by last week, not much time to look, Carol was with me. Didn't get anything because their card reader was down and I couldn't wait. I'll hit them this week if I can.

No legion stuff, but I did pick up the Crisis Volume Six collection, and some old firestorm that I had put back.

Last week: Adventure 352 and Superboy "starring THE" Legion of Super-Heroes 198. Both very fun reads. And both starring the Fatal Five. Legiony Goodness!

Love both those issues! Good going, Rick!

Thank ya, Ma'am. I was worried when the owner of the shop died and the new guys took over. I always start with the LCS (Legends in florence, SC) because I'm one of those goofy guys that believes in buying local before sending my hard earned monet out into the big bad world. Local folks have to eat, too. But the guys have done a lot with the store and they've learned, like Denny did, to watch out for old or really any Legion stuff for me. I don't always get it, because a lot of the time it's repeats for me. But to me, that's half the fun, never knowing what you are gonna find, or even IF you will find. Yeah, I could probably find them a lot faster on line, but there's no thrill to that for me. Like shootin fish in a barrel...where's the challenge? I'm a man dammit! I gotta seize that hill, slay that beast, find that really rare to me comic that I saw as a kid in the house ads but never had

Low haul this week. Superboy starring the Legion of Super-Heroes #201. And since I've never had it before, it's new to me. As well, they put the TPB of The Curse in my pull for me. There were a couple of other Legion books, but I already had them so I left them for some other lucky hunter.

Forgot to add silver age Justice League of America #'s 120 with Adam Strange and Kanjar Ro and 135 featuring the JSA and "Shazam's Squadron of Justice". And then there are the two Teen Titans original runs numbers 37 and 45.

Love my LCS.

JLA #120; is that the one with Adam Strange's wedding to Alanna?

It's the first of the two-parter that has that.

Trade paperback of The Curse which starts with Legion #297 and ends Darkside laughing when the "one child" is born. Validus was stolen away to become the monster of the Fatal Five. I picked it up for the Curse but wound up getting to read the conclusion to the Omen and Prophet storyline which I have never had. Found multiple copies of the first couple of issues of the storyline featuring Giffen's new art style, but never the conclusion.

The Legion seemed to have it's fair share of Universe level bad guys, from the Infinite Man to Omen.

The one child thing sounds like it was the annual? The issues around that would be that peak Levitz/Giffen…

Look-It-Up-Lad tells me it's "Collecting LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #297-313 and LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ANNUAL #2-3" So yeah, some of my favourites are in there.

Nothing new or old this week, though I did find an adventure comic with the legion in it...but it was $10. Waaaay outta my price range.

On the other hand, I gave my wife an organizationgazm when she found I had bought bags and boards and was organizing my collection. After having cleaned up around my current comics locker.


This man knows how to please a woman.

Good job, rick Pleasing your wife and protecting your collection at the same time!

I once bought a few bags and boards at my LCS too. Just enough to protect the most prized issues in my collection, anyway. I found an LCS that sells back issues with individual boards and bags, so I didn't have to buy too many extras to cover the rest.
