Got a nice copy of Fantastic Four (vol. 1) #71 which puts me one issue away from completing a run from 67 through 102. Also, got FF #130, 131 and 140 while I was at it. I kept searching around and I found a copy of Marvel Spotlight (vol. 1) #32 with the 1st appearance of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew). I saw a Marvel Presents #1 and got that because it's a Marvel No. 1 issue and was cheap. Got issues #1 and 2 of The Cat (1972-73) from Marvel. Issue #1 is the 1st app. of The Cat (Greer Nelson) who later becomes Tigra. Also, Wally Wood inks the cover on that one. And finally, I picked up Dr. Strange (vol. 1) #174, which gets me past the halfway mark of getting all 15 books of that volume. A good day, now I just need to work some OT soon to pay for these.

The Bobarian Comic Guru lifetime member Location: New York Posts: 825 My Collection	Posted: June 13, 2014 8:26:41 pm Thanks, Spa-fon. I'm trying to get decent copies of Kirby's DC stuff from the early to mid 1970s. I finished off Forever People about a month ago and now Omac is out of the way, too. That leaves me 7 more issues to finish off The Demon, 7 more for Mister Miracle, 5 more (of the first 11) issues to get Kirby's New Gods, 4 more for The Sandman and 9 more (of the first 12) issues of Kamandi which I don't want the whole run up to #59 anyway. At least I have the #1 issues for these but a couple could use upgrading later on. Also, wouldn't mind to get Kirby's run Jimmy Olsen since I have 3 out of whatever number he did.
Spa-fon Wise Beyond the Years lifetime member Location: Tampa Bay Florida Posts: 3780 My Collection	Posted: June 15, 2014 7:30:02 am I have a run of Kamandi from 1 to 29, many in high grade. PM me if interested and I'll get scans. I am willing to sell to CBR members at least 50% off book value, so maybe I can help you fill in a bunch. The joy is in the journey, not just the destination.

Forgot to mention the Kamandi books I do have are #1, 4, 7, 37 & 52 and they all look to be in around VF/NM cond. So everything else Kirby did I'd be interested in if they're in that shape or better. - Bob

The Bobarian Comic Guru lifetime member Location: New York Posts: 825 My Collection	Posted: June 16, 2014 9:03:05 pm About $6.50 for Marvel Spotlight #32 and it looks to be somewhere between FN/VF to VF+ condition. I haven't tried to give it a grade yet but there was nothing majorly wrong with it.
logerine Comic Guru Location: Tennessee Posts: 725 My Collection	Posted: June 16, 2014 10:56:19 pm $6.50 is a nice price at that grade. Congrats on the find.
