@@erikk.5202 They had that first crossover in one of the other 100 pagers, I knew they would have had to have had it somewhere! Most of the romance ones aren't that expensive, although more so than the others in the series, the problem I have with them is I can't find them over here, so I'm currently having to pick them up from America but with 15 to 20 dollars postage each it's doubling the price up for me on the ones I've picked up so far, the 100 page super spectacular love stories one though is going to be costly from what I've seen, I bit the bullet on a reasonably priced one of those a bit back, I mean I say reasonable, it was still expensive but a lot less than I've seen them going for 😵💫

@thegreyman Thanks Greyman! Only 12 more to go? I am envious, to say the least. And, yes, so much to take in on all of these 100 pagers. These would keep a kid busy for a while.
@@erikk.5202 They keep this adult busy for a while too haha I never saw these as a kid but I know I would have pored over them for ages.
@@thegreyman LOL...Me too. I love them. I only had a few as a kid myself.
Oh Erik… these really take me back. I had a subscription to JLA and 115 was my first to come. I have these too but probably not as nice as I read them often. Great review of these. Oh that Back Issue looks great… I’ll keep an eye out for it. Thanks my friend.👊
@@metarog Hey Rog! 👋 I love Back Issue and that particular issue I am constantly looking at because of all the 100 pagers. You picked a great time to subscribe to the JLA back then!
How could any kid back in the day not see one of these covers and not want to grab one.... the covers are amazingly cool (and creepy)
I agree. But, back in the day, I was all about the superheroes. That being said, this may have been DC's best work in the Bronze Age.
Love those 100 Pagers, man! I'm still filling out that 100 Pagers subset with most of the needed issues being DC Romance comics which seem to be escalating in price nowadays 😢 Great collection of those HoM 100 Pagers, Erik, congrats on completing that group! I agree with you on Ebay as well😉 Again, congrats & thanks for sharing them with us, my friend!
Thanks for watching Rod! Yea, you cannot go wrong with the 100 pagers. If you are a big DC Bronze Age fan, chances are these 100 pagers are among your favorites. Those 100 page romance books are pricey indeed. A limited print run and mainly geared for girls so back in the day not many kids saved them.
Hey Erik.. 100 pagers and an issue of AWODCC.. You really know how to set the hook lol As I said before, this and the Unexpected run are 2 of my favorites of the Super-Spectaculars .. That short story in #228 you were talking about was ‘Rebel’ by Neal Adams. That was always one of my favorites because of the art and story and the Twilight Zone type ending. Thanks for sharing my friend 😊
LOL...I know these 100 pagers are near and dear to your heart. And, I agree, HoM and Unexpected are my favorites of these 100 pagers because they had so many stories in each issue. Thanks for the info on 'Rebel' by Neal Adams in #228. I should have done my research on that before I did the video. It hit me as I recorded this. Thanks for watching my friend.
Nice stuff Erik, wait I have to say it, 100 Pagers!
DC 100 Pagers rule!
Love the Ozzie!
@@jkmarshall3553 He is quite the character.
Great AOK from Rod . Congrats
@jambocomics9862 Thank you, sir. I am so grateful for those books from Rod.
Can’t wait to see those walls get filled up
@@krisrobinson7676 I can't either. 😁
Captain Savage looks like a fun one
@@krisrobinson7676 It is a cool, little series.
Awesome AOK of Flash comics, Erik! As you know, Flash was my fave DC hero from Day 1 and I love all the early Silver Age stories in my collection. I know ol' Barry Allen takes some flack for being too straight-laced or boring but I never saw him that way, lol! Congrats on adding some wonderful books to your collection and big kudos to your friend Aaron for his generosity & kindness!
Oh, I knew you would like this one Rod. I really dig those GIANT 80 Page Go Go Checks issues. What is not to love about square bound books?! I think Flash was a cool hero.
Go Go Checks and 80 pagers!
Can't go wrong with either!
I love that SGT. Fury and his Howling Commandos issue.... how many were in that run?
There were 167 issues and six annuals.
Great video Erik...I enjoyed owning these as I know you will. As a side note, the issue ..."The Bride that Cast Two Shadows" was purchased in 1981 back when I was in the 4th grade. Even though I had owned only a few comics up to that point, they were always given to me by friends. That issue was my very first purchase with my allowance. You did a great job showcasing these issues, even Rachel had fun watching. If I come across another 105.... well..... that may take some time haha. AGAIN great job !! 👏
Thank you again, my friend, for all of these issues. I put that Flash out for display on the wall.
You are more than welcome, Erik! I'm still enjoying those vintage wrestling mags you sent me awhile back (thank you again!) and I knew I wanted to send you something you were really looking for and I know those books are going to someone who will enjoy them as much as I do. Thanks so much for your kind words, Erik and happy reading, my friend!
Again, I cannot thank you enough Rod. All three books do have a very happy home. I am glad you are enjoying those wrestling mags. Grateful to call you friend.
So cool Erik. I bought these off the 7-11 rack and enjoyed it. Too bad they didn’t give it a little more time to catch on. Yes, issues 2-4 have 30 cent variants. Thanks for the great info.👍
Congratulations! Rod is just the best. What gorgeous issues. I’ve got a few and they are definitely underrated. Enjoy the goodness my friend.👏
Thanks Rog. Rod is one of the best indeed. I really do like this series and now that I have the first two issues it has given me an incentive to finish the run.
Wow, those are some awesome Flash books, I am tying for 150 to the end of that run, I think I have 30 more to go. Enjoy owning them beauties
I was blown away by my friend's generosity. Some nice books spanning over 10 years of that run.
3 cool books mate, enjoy reading and looking after them in your collection
Thank you Greyman! They were all great reads.
Great spotlight Erik ! You and I both have an affinity for these short run series and this one is really cool. I was fortunate enough to complete mine a couple of years ago and this makes me want to reread this little mini classic. Thanks for sharing my friend 😊
Thanks Shannon. This was a great little series indeed. You have said before that it is a shame so many of these titles did not run longer but that adds to the fondness of each run.
Great room Erik! I saw that blank wall and was thinking “ ooh the possibilities “ 😁
I know. That wall is just crying out for a nice display of comics and related treasures. 🙂
As I said before, I envy you, Erik! I wish I had a room to share/display my collection with but maybe someday🙏😉 Looks like you've got a great place to work witha nd I can't wait to see what you do with it. Good luck, amigo!👍
Thanks Rod. It is nice, little room that will work perfectly for me.
Hey Erik. Major congrats on finally finding your sweet spot Frankenstein #1 ! I know you were happy to get that one lol Love the Marvel issues and especially the GK VTTBOTS issues. Would like to collect that one myself! I miss doing the Series of the Week videos.. might have to start that again soon😊 Awesome pick ups and video!
I waited an entire year to get that Monster of Frankenstein first issue. That was my favorite series of the big three Marvel did in the Bronze Age. And, those VTTBOTS issues are so cool. I love the painted covers. Yes, you need to get back to the Series of the Week videos. Though, if you do, it might impact my wallet! Thanks for watching Shannon.
Hey Erik. Great score from the Con ! And right off the bat you smack us in the face with a 100 pager 😁 B&B 113 was in some house ads of issues I got later ( #116 was my first) and picked it up further on. Awesome JLA issues. I knew as soon as I heard my name I was gonna catch flack for the dreaded multiple copy sickness. Sooner or later my brother you’re going to have to take responsibility for your own actions. 😂 Although the more you show that #133 the more I want to upgrade the 2 or 3 copies I already have . Lol Love the Jonah Hex books and sooner or later am going to have to head further down that rabbit hole. Major kudos on everything you picked up buddy !
Thank you Shannon. I will try to blame you as long as I can on the dreaded multiple copy sickness. Why take responsibility for that??? LOL Weird Western Tales is a great title. Love the covers, the art and stories. I wish I would have paid attention to this title as a kid. And, it doesn't get much better than my beloved Justice League. I have wanted #82 and #83 for a long time. I picked them up on separate days at the con. The day I bought #82 I was going to read it but then held off because I knew it was a two parter. Little did I know I would get #83 the next day.
Some cool treasuries on that shelf already Erik!
Thanks Tempus and thank you for watching.
Some nice books mate, I am a much lower grade collector lol quantity over quality for me! That Ron Goulart I have 3 Vampirella novels that he wrote. I picked them up as a real young kid at a jumble sale (like one of your yard sales). Anyway enjoy your lovely new books mate, please zoom in on those covers a bit more though so I can see them better, cheers
Thank you my friend! I think I was so focused on trying to get the video done in under 15 minutes that I sped through some books a little too fast. I have a couple more videos to do this weekend and will do a better job of taking some time on each book.
Very nice Frankenstein pickup and congrats on completing that series, Erik! LOVE that Avengers/Defenders War storyline and of course I was dying to read THAT specific issue , I mean Hulk vs Thor? C'mon! Very nice Hulk 25 cent squarebound book, amigo! That Supernatural Thrillers is another one of those books I bought because I remember having it as a kid. I'm trying to get that Hardy Boys cartoon series as well! I think we're the only two collectors chasing them, lol! Very cool VTTBOTS books, Erik! That's another rabbit hole I'm so tempted to go down! Great video, my friend and congrats again on all the new additions to your comic family!
I knew you would love that Hulk Rod. What is not to like about that one?! Yes, Defenders #10 is such a great book. As I said in the video, I didn't understand how two superheroes would be fighting each other, especially two of Marvel's mightiest. That stuck with me as a kid and I never forgot that. I am just sorry it took me so long to get that book into my collection. If we are the only two collecting the Hardy Boys, then we should have no problem completing it...LOL. VTTBOTS was an impulse buy and I am glad I picked them up. Now, to complete that run. Thanks for watching my friend.
Great pickups, Erik! Of course, you already KNOW how much those DC 100 Pagers mean to me so I'm always happy to see them! Like you, I'm trying to put together runs of The Demon, Weird Western/Jonah Hex & Star-Spangled War Stories series. LOVE to hear the personal stories of your JLA buys. Wonderful memories I'm sure! I'm thinking of trying to pickup that Supergirl series myself. I have just one decorative comic box and I can bet you'll guess who's on it😉 Great stuff, and a VERY successful con indeed, my friend, congrats!
Thanks Rod. Weird Western Tales is such a cool title, one I really never even glanced at as a kid. What great art and stories in that series. Except for the first issue, Supergirl won't break the bank and even the first issue is not hundreds of dollars in nice shape.
Well my friend, that big blank wall is screaming for vintage lunch box display 😁
Unless you plan to give me some of your vintage lunch boxes, this will be reserved for comics.
More nice stuff Erik, well apart from the Marvel ones 😉
Thanks Tempus! Probably 95% of my collection is DC. They are my favorite. But, I do love that Frankenstein run Marvel did in the early 70s, and I just had to have Defenders #10 as it was the first comic I ever looked through.
I’m so glad you found that Frankenstein… what a beauty! Watching Shannon can be dangerous right?😁 Ooo… I missed those Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea issues. I’ve got a few and just enjoyed that show as a kid. Great finds my friend.👏
Watching Shannon always seems to cost me money. I never did find a nice copy of Supergirl. I couldn't pass up those Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea comics. Now, I have to complete the series. I did this on my lunch break from work. I work remotely now, like you Rog, so I kind of talked fast to get through everything and then back to work...lol.
They are both so cute, Erik. I can understand why you love them so much, my friend!
Ozzie is quite the character. He loves bird watching and going after lizards who invade his porch.
Beautiful feline family members Erik 😊 Starting this weekend my wife and I will be cat sitting our “ grandkitty” for a few days while my son and family are on vacation.. Might have to sneak a video 😉
It was a thrill to finally meet you and HeroesCon along with your wife and friends. You really picked up some gorgeous comics. Of course I knew JLA would be in there. 😁 Love the Weird Western pickups and that box is fabulous. Can’t wait to see what else you found. Be blessed my friend.👊🙏🏻
Had a blast at HeroesCon with you Erik. I did not realize you got JLA #95....looking for that one myself. Just finished putting my comic purchases in their "homes". Also as far as Dale Roberts goes... as you heard me tell him, all the booths should be set up like his....so organized and clean. PS - glad your BACK !!!
Glad to be back!
Nice pickups Erik, those JLA's and the 100 pagers, you might as well grab all the 100 pagers now!
Thanks Tempus. Oh, don't tempt me my friend. Those 100 pagers are addicting.
Mind you, you need to have a full set of 80 pagers before you move onto the 100 pagers, that's an official comic book rule 😄
@@tmpsfrommars LOL. Love those 80 pagers too. That is quite a quest to get all of those.
@@erikk.5202 You'll have the majority of them before you know it, I haven't looked at the 80 pagers for a while though so I'm not sure what's harder to get these days, it took me a while to get the Rudolph one but that's not technically classed in with the others. You just can't go wrong with any of the old giants though, they all had classic stuff in them.
@@tmpsfrommars Agreed. They are classics.
I don't blame you for scarfing up those 100-pagers despite them not being on your mental pull-list. Opportunity knocked!
Exactly QNS!
Oh Erik! You tempter you.😁 I only have one of these and love the short stories within. I’m going to steal your idea to buffer the staples with paper and labels.😗 Thanks for the rundown.👏
As Shannon once said, as a kid a 100 pager would keep you busy all day. Heck, even as an adult, it will keep ya busy. 😁 I do think the paper and label help. I do that with all my square bound comics.
This is such a good short series. I have a few but will get the rest soon. Thanks for showing us and the info. It was such a thrill to finally meet you at HeroesCon. Great to hear you will be working close to home. Be blessed my friend.🙏🏻
I really did enjoy this short run. It was great to meet you as well Rog. Yes, I am excited to be working from home and hope we can meet up over the winter months.
Why do you do this Erik??!!!! Now I have ANOTHER title to collect at HeroCon. 😆
You will find everything at HeroesCon. Get ready!
@@erikk.5202 See ya in 2 days....HeroCon here we come !!
@@Vintage_GenX Giddy up!
Cool video. I have collected most of these, but still need to read them.
Thanks Sleepy. I thought it was a good series and enjoyed the stories.
Come on Erik....you really miss hanging out with me... that is why you are headed back to South Florida 😁😁😁
🙄🤣
Hey Erik 👊 Awesome to hear you are getting back home - I lived the "road warrior" life for many years and I don't miss it one bit 😊 Sword of Sorcery looks cool, I thought I had an issue or two - but I don't ... They are added to the list 😁 #5 is my favorite 👍 Thanks for sharing 🫡
Hey Easy! Yea, I am so looking forward to moving back full time. For a while, I thought the road warrior life I led was normal. It isn't. I should have done it soon, but hey, don't look back, you are not going that way. That is an adage I live by. Thanks, Easy, for stopping by
Nice, loving those 100 pagers, I picked up Unexpected 158 the other week as it was missing from my 100 pagers list but you can't go wrong with these and the 80 pagers.
So true Tempus. I am now working on all of the House of Mystery 100 pagers. I think I need two more. Thanks for watching.
Great stuff, I've got 7 overall left to get and then I'm done 😄
@@tmpsfrommars You mean only seven left from the entire DC 100 pagers? Wow, impressive! I only know of one person who has them all, Shannon (Solid4stbend).
@@erikk.5202 Yeah, just 7 romance ones left to pick up but I thought with me finishing off my 80 pagers, even though they're not all 80 pagers in that set, I'd get started on finishing the 100 pagers off as well. I know Shannon's got a full set, mind you what hasn't he got a full set of 😄
@@tmpsfrommars LOL...so true. Shannon has just about everything. I am shocked when I show him some books and he says he does not have an issue that I have. It can't be true...lol. That is great Tempus. I am jealous. I know the romance books are some of the most difficult to get. Patience and money are the keys. I am headed to HeroesCon in Charlotte in three weeks. So, until then, no comic purchases as I am saving money for some bigger purchases there.
Nice, this is one of those titles that's on my to get list, I picked up a fafhrd and the gray mouser GN years ago which was a fun read and I've been meaning to pick up some other stuff with them in.
You won't be disappointed Tempus. Great little series and easy on the pocket book. Definitely a doable series to complete rather quickly.
Such great horror covers mate, I collect this series but I can't recall if I have any of the giants yet
It's a great series, isn't it Greyman. And, the 100 pagers will keep you entertained for a while.
Another great run Erik, and I never get tired of looking at the 100 pagers , ( and thank you for the kind words )talking about them,or hearing someone else’s take on them . #160 was the first one I picked up as a kid and it’s still my favorite of that run. And I agree, Cardy was very prolific ( and underappreciated) on those DC covers in the 70’s. I really like your idea of putting an extra buffer between the staple and the cover. Awesome news about getting to go back home to Florida ! Thanks for showing these and making me appreciate them even more. 😊
You are very welcome Shannon. Your channel was the first I discovered when I returned to the hobby and I credit you mainly for fueling my collecting fire as well as costing me a lot of money...lol. You know what this means about me going back to FL full time? More videos. 😁 I head back down in four weeks and am really excited. Not excited about the heat and humidity. But, that is okay. More time with my wife and four legged children is the main benefit Yea, I started putting a sheet of paper inside the first page after receiving a comic like that a few years back in the mail. And, putting just a small, white mailing label at the edge of the paper so it lines up over the staple has to help to some degree I believe. #160 is probably my favorite as well. In fact, I remember you mentioning in one of your 100 page videos how that issue was your favorite. Now, you understand why I watch your 100 page video series often.
Hey Erik. Great little series with entertaining stories and fantastic art ! Man, aren’t these little short runs fun to collect? 😊 And a lot of these are DC Bronze Age, which doesn’t hurt, right ? 😉 Well done my friend.. Now off to Part Two !
They sure are fun to collect. And, whether it is DC, which is where I lean, or Marvel, there are so many great short run series to collect. Thanks for watching my friend.
Lots of nice comics there mate including quite a few I have picked up myself as an adult and a few runs I am trying to get together now. I love that Rima run, interiors by Nestor Redondo are sublime. I have a few more Richard Dragon to try to find still and have just started to amass a Shadow run. Happy collecting mate
Thank you Greyman! Yes, Rima is underrated. Love The Shadow and Richard Dragon. Three great short Bronze Age runs.
