I was so tickled to find such a early punshier appearance so cheap.<br /><br />I only have three here and agree they are very hard to find in nice grade. I saw the X-Men Giant size once for 200 in a second hand book store and just didn't have the money. But man does that come to mind everytime I see the book.<br /><br />Shand G. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-59975137113140781842014-10-10T18:31:15.435-04:002014-10-10T18:31:15.435-04:00This entry has had me grinning all evening.

Love 'em!<br /><br />Marvel made such a huge error in not including these in the dvd-roms from Gitcorp about a decade ago. Of course, not continuing to capture all of their material in that format may have been the bigger error, as far as consumers are concerned!<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-10000313004994387112014-10-10T09:15:11.126-04:002014-10-10T09:15:11.126-04:00"Howard the Duck faces death at the hands of ..."Howard the Duck faces death at the hands of Gorko the Man-Frog."<br /><br />I'm disturbed by how much I want to see what happens with this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-23294947116031404412014-10-10T09:12:00.815-04:002014-10-10T09:12:00.815-04:00And most of 'em are here on the blog!And most of 'em are here on the blog!The Groovy Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466541479854942040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-49868408551497547322014-10-10T09:11:22.394-04:002014-10-10T09:11:22.394-04:00Funny--they were just fifty cents where I bought m...Funny--they were just fifty cents where I bought mine. ;D Seriously, the square-bound format is notorious for splitting and covers coming loose, so good condition copies of these puppies are steep, indeed.

Eventually it was concluded by Buscema in SSOC, but what a monumental collection it could've been, if Giant-Size Conan hadn't suddenly converted to a reprint book.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809592629762693427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-20760311849888231752014-10-10T01:03:35.714-04:002014-10-10T01:03:35.714-04:00I only have 6 of these...
