As you can see, some of these pages are from some mildly magnificent Marvel milestones, Groove-ophiles! See if you can guess which of these issues will be spotlighted in the weeks and months to come!

I was buying way more comics back then than I realized: I remember most of these! And there are indeed a number of milestones in there, including a couple of my favorite Avengers tales, a stack of great Kirby work, and the X-Men issue you've already featured.
ReplyDeleteGood eyes, RAB! The two Avengers stories and the Kirby work will be spotlighted eventually. The X-Men issue is indeed the one I used for this past Saturday's Super Smack-Down.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else notice any other goodies up there?
I remember buying Nova #10, Iron Man #99 and Marvel Premire #36 on the spinner rack at the local liquor store. Good memories. Love your site !
