The Grand Design series is cool. Jim Rugg is the creator of Street Angel and a brilliant comic historian. He’s one of the guys on Cartoonist Kayfabe.
The colors on that Strange Tales #122 looked GREAT !!! The white was pretty white !! another great video
Hulk: Grand Design is a retelling of the entire Hulk series in 2 issues. Jim Rugg condensed 50+ years of the Hulk into 2 issues. It's amazing. Marvel also did a Grand Design series for Xmen and FF.
Can't get enough of these X-Men! So much fun watching you talk comics.
Great books, Mike. But that one monster book with the girl being tossed in his mouth is definitely my favorite. Congrats on yet another slab lol
You can give me the Spawn! Lol.
It was fun bidding war for Fantomes with you!
Before finding your UA-cam channel I have to say I didn't know much about comics but I'm learning fast thanks for reviving all are love in them more than before
Love watching Lunch money Comics
Cool books mike! Love the x-men 100 and of course the slabbed 141. Always love to get a history lesson on x-men. Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome books! I'm really jealous about the X-Men 141. I've been trying to find a decent copy for a decent price for a while now.
That's some good lunch money
I didn’t know about Stevens’ Grendel work! I’m a few issues away from completing a full Grendel run. It’s an amazing comic book series by the genius, Matt Wagner.
Mike you are the best story teller and I enjoy hearing you tell the stories because I can hear the excitement in your voice! Audio books in the future for you!! You are making me a X-Men Fan!!
Thank you so much!
I liked the LCS perusal of those awesome books. I also liked that Power Girl magazine cover. I am a Dave Stevens fanatic who discovered his art many years ago when I purchased my first Stevens comic book Planet Comics. The next book I purchased was that Jonny Quest #3 and I'm enjoying going down that rabbit hole to this day. Don't know if you know this but Dave Stevens inked some pages of Star Wars, Vol. 1 #6 from Marvel Comics uncredited. I do have some Italian Marvel comics which I do find interesting. Loved the books you got from Whatnot. Jim Rugg's Hulk is a great read and I highly recommend it. I have been buying from Whatnot since last year and have enjoyed the experience. Many sellers have their own niche and I have picked up great vintage as well as inexpensive new books. I have also won giveaways and you shouldn't feel bad about your first win which was amazing to do. Love your wall of awesomeness.
Those EH comics are my childhood and Hulk specifically. Been trying to find some when I visit my family in Montreal. Very cool additions to your collection.
Don't have Days of Future Past yet, but lucked out and got Uncanny X-Men 129 for $2.00 at a small comic and card show.
I like power girl too !😵💫
COMIC BOOK ROUNDUP< huh? Will Rider's in the Sky be along later?
I have a small collection of foreign comics. I’ve purchased them on my travels from Spain and Germany. For a time I would send my friend who lives in Hamburg American comics and he would send me German ones! Good stuff.
You've got me picking up.dave Steven's stiff just got the space vixens 16 and the jungle comics 1 didn't realize how many I already had. Pick up foreign books alot just got a Italian conan #1 . Those grendel books are good stuff I've got that whole comico run . Jeff Wagner is the guy that does those
If you ever travel for a vacation in Tokyo, They have a lot of Marvel and DC Comics in Japanese!!!! It's pretty cool!
Man I just did the same thing.. I purchased a bunch from what not and then had no idea what they were.
It's funny on my comics book save for later from months ago I picked that same Johnny quest book but didn't know much about Dave Stevens at all so I might go back and pick it up since then I've watched the UA-cam video on him.
Nice books Mike! I had friends that were in the service and while traveling the world they would buy comic books. They gave me a couple of Avenger books in French. I love having them as part of my collection. I thought to maybe go back and collect all the issues but my money went to other books. I only had a Lunch Money Budget!!
Love your channel have been a long-time fan. Just thought I would mention X-Men 100 also introduced the fastball special for the first time and the updated costumes.
Great pick ups and video as usual. A couple of weeks ago I used your link to Jeffery to reach out to him for some advice on a cleaning technique that he uses which you mentioned in a previous video. Please thank him for me. He was so gracious and we spent a while on the phone discussing it as well as other things. You are very lucky to be part of such a friendly and receptive comic book community which shows through in your videos. Have a great day and good hunting.
Thanks, I’ll let him know!
Natalie Sanders covers are always great. She does that Vogue type cover on a lot of books. I picked up one of the Heroes for Hope book the other day. You inspired me to get it signed by as many artists as I can.
Good luck, keep me updated on your progress!
Very cool!
Chérie is a reprint of love comics books from the 50’s or 60’s. They are from the same company Héritage from saint Lambert.
I don't care about the lower print runs of some of these newer books, but I do enjoy all the options just as a fan if cover art.
🤘❤🔥👍 Nice scores there brother 🤘🔥🤘
I love Power Girl. That is a great find.
My daughter has Spider Man in Spanish. Whatnot is dangerous lol, it's so easy to click on the button. I've bought books and later on forgot or had buyers regret lol. I want the first part to Days of Future Past, been looking for it.
Yeah Mike, as a young sailor on my first North Atlantic cruise. We stopped in La-harve France and not having much money but wanting a souvenir I stopped in a shop and bought a Captain America comic vs a character called the Phoenix i believe. I also have a German " After Watchmen " didn't know it wasn't English till i got it home. 😮.Keep collecting dude !
Startled to see HULK : Grand DESIGN # 1. I have 2 and have never seen a copy of 1, until today. Cool!! Thanks, now I know what to look for!!
Mike, I always enjoy your channel. I feel like a kid again when I watch your channel. You bring out what’s fun about comic books. I pretty much felt like the only one in town who read comic books. I started reading X-Men when they were reprints. You always bring up a book I thought no one else liked but me. You have such a way to connect to your audience and it’s fun to see you talk about these lost treasures. I hope I explained thoughts ok. I know what I want to say, but I never know if it comes across sounding the way I want it to. Thank you for your videos and channel!
I think that king spawn is a key. Probably should keep it.
Another great video!
Love that you started and ended with great X-Men books in that Claremont run…the stuff in between was cool, as well. Kudos, Mike!
It’s funny, but you keep getting the same Dave Stevens books as me at around the same time! I just bought a copy of that Jonny Quest 5 on eBay recently.
But the bigger Dave Stevens haul came from a comics store in Seattle that was having a 25% off sale. I got seven of his better known books, including Vanguard Illustrated #2. Had to go through many thousands of boxes of comics before finding that one, though. Thankfully, the other six were already in a separate box that the owner showed me.
Found my first Mark jeweler on Friday Master of Kung Fu issue 64
I buy a lot of bulk buys on eBay. I think I have a problem with bidding cus im competitive and hate to lose a bid 😂.but I've found I like spawn after getting a couple and the gunslinger comics, too. I now have about 1000 comics and just need to decide now what I want and what to sell. I'm thinking of whatnot because single selling on eBay is very long. But I want to do a xmen, x force, spawn gunslinger and idw tmnt run also love the tmnt and batman mash ups. Great video once again, Mike, and love the comics
Glad you DIDN'T do the Mystique recap (It's gross!) Good vid!!
Love the video
I collect Ghost Rider and have started getting foreign Ghost Riders #1 from 1990
Nice books I was Envious of those Thor books in the beginning
Great X-Men pickups Mike! I briefly knew Dave Cockrum. Great guy, I do wish he had stayed on the X-Men longer myself. John Byrne of course with Claremont were. epic together on Iron Fist and the X-Men too. Loved the Cobaltman too on your French Hulk. 1968-86 was my Golden Age. From age 6-25 in my ages.
That jim rugg Hulk Grand Design, I believe, is from one of the kayfabe from youtube. I catch their vids every once in a while.
I also like getting something that is unknown and piques my artistic interests.
Another great video! Gonna read the Days of Future Past soon! :-)
Hey! Johnny Quest #5; I literally just submitted one of those to CGC for a friend of mine. He and I both love the dog's face on that cover. 😃
Those books you looked through at beginning are truly awesome indeed. I can understand why store owner wanted to take time pricing which You agreed with. The other thing is I am sure he wanted to check page counts covers and centerfold thoroughly so he doesn’t overcharge anyone. Because you want to keep customers happy. I have that Jade Steven’s covers and have not been that fond of it but now having u talk about it I am seeing it in a new light. Thanks man. If u got those French ones for around a dollar then u did very well. I wouldn’t feel too bad about the giveaway. A lot of times the winner of these giveaways are just surfing auctions for giveaways and a lot of times they have not bought a single thing. It’s just the way it’s set up. Hopeful that will change some day. Jess
Lots of cool books here!! I've been to shows and forgot what I'd grabbed . So many books and options at those shows!! Many times I'm unpacking and realize (often) that I'd grabbed doubles!! It happens!!
Wow Cool ...French Canadian Charlton books.... I dont see those often ! Great Batch of books !
2024 is still being nice to you
Yo! Im some 14 yr old dude who loves them comix… love ur channel 😊
I enjoy your excitement discussing Xmen books, as such it has inspired me to collect issues and stories from the run. In the vain of LMC I purchase lower grades or reprints/facsimiles so I can enjoy the stories as they were told,
Nice books! It's crazy that those French comics were printed in St. Lambert. I grew up in the town right next to St. Lambert, but all the French comics in my school were imported from France and Belgium (Tin Tin, Astrixs etc).
fantastic haul bro I'm a big fan of Johnny Quest I grew up watching him
The Grand Design comics are retelling of the whole history of the character. They are really cool. Enjoy!
Love the X-Men 141. Had my copy signed by Chris Claremont back in 2012. Think I'll get it protected by CBCS this coming summer at Montreal Comicon.
Awesome grabs this video. I definitely have Days of Futures Past on my list to read.
Days if Future Past is one of the few around that time period I don't own. Maybe someday.
Nice mail call. If you are keeping that X-Men book, I would not crack it out. It will stay protected the way it is and until you really need to take it out just leave it alone.
Cool video Brother. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍❤️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️📚📚📚📚📚✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️💯
Great finds! Great channel as always!
I have always bought foreign comics whenever I was abroad, and have lots of German, italian, spanish, danish, dutch, french and even hungarian and russian FF and spidey comics, for instance AS 121 from 4 different countries ,USA, but also in dutch, german and italian, that is supernice to have,
If you go to Tokyo, the Japanese versions of Marvel and DC Comics are the best!
When I used to collect comics, I had a bunch of foreign Marvel & DC comics.
Great video, Mike. I like foreign comics. I have a few now, especially after watching your channel. :)
Fantomes is a Charlton Comics reprint
That Jonny Quest has beautiful color! Many of the copies I’ve seen (including mine) are pretty washed out.
Wow. Bought both the Johnny Quest and Grendel when they came out. Never noticed that the Grendel was a Dave Stevens cover. Great video as usual! Closing in on 12k!!!
Open that hulk grand design it's a gorgeous book. That's the 1st book.
great hauls, bro. good job.
Fantomes & Spectres Et Revenants are Charltons
I just recently picked up my first copy of Heroes for Hope, all because of your channel! Well, and that I collect X-men anyway. Just wanted to share!
Unrelated, some Dave Stevens covers are showing up on hot lists on Key Collector. I'm very curious if your videos have had some influence on that market change.
Huh, I don’t think I’m remotely that influential but I have noticed he’s getting a lot more popular as of late
@@lunchmoneycomics you underestimate yourself, my friend! I find myself appreciating (and buying) Art Adams and Excalibur and such more often now. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I like that you don't just show the hunt and find, but you also appreciate the books and educate on artists, writers, contexts, etc. That definitely helps set you apart from other channels.
@@JLongNC I really appreciate that, thank you!
So will you be selling your old copy of 100??? I'm in need. Great collection and great pickups!!!
It’s VERY low grade lol
@@lunchmoneycomics I’m a completionist first grade 2nd kind of guy. Decide to sell it let me know please.
I saw the Thor vs magneto cover, Mike, your thoughts, as an x-men fan, on “can magneto lift/move Thor’s hammer?”
Yeah I want that book! The problem with the hammer is that it’s magic and since magic can do whatever it wants, it won’t let him lift it.
Don't feel too bad about that giveaway. hardly anyone actually enters a wn givey for the specific free book. Winning a givey also has the added bonus of giving discounted shipping in the event that you haven't purchased from that show yet. And if you want me to really be cynical. There is literally a whole underground community of givy goblins that just make accounts to win free stuff. So just think of it like; you winning ensured it went to a real person.
Is it me or does Power Girl look like Debbie Harry from Blondie on that cover?
And a bunch of X-Men filler from 166 to 208
I don't like the X-Men heroes for hope comic and never bought it. Why do you ask? Because Africa's a very rich country. Rich in resources. But we Western countries plunder their resources away from them. And we frame them, Africans as "needing our aid". We always frame them to look poor so we will look rich. It's unfair to them. Look at all the negative caricatures of them during the Golden to early silver age. Captain Marvel and Th Spirit's sidekicks? It's not good. It doesnt progress humanity. Also, did they really raise all that money for that comic for Africans? I highly doubt it. It's a scam. Pus, they are raising money for Africa and didnt even feature a African American writer or African American Marvel Characters on the cover.
Where to start... Africa is a continent containing 54 independent countries. Each will have their own socio-economic histories and challenges. One country can be rich while its neighbor can be poor. It's like that all around the world.
The famine in east Africa, specifically, the country of Ethiopia, was one of the most devastating humanitarian crises of the 20th century. Several countries around the world (not just the US) provided aid.
A quick google search shows the proceeds for the comic book went to "American Friends Services Committee" to assist with the famine relief, but there was also global fundraisers, concerts, music created, etc, all with proceeds going to the famine relief. The book also received the 'Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award"
Maybe Marvel was jumping on the bandwagon, but you can't discredit the global efforts that were being made nor the severity of the crisis.
@@traybee115 then why didnt they just brand it as aid for Ethiopia? Our country likes to frame the entirety of Africa as always a poor continent. And we are saviors that can help them. I was led to believe this as a child. When I became an adult and dove deep into world affairs I discovered Africa is poor because we in Western countries plunder resources from them. Then we use propaganda and say they are poor and needy. It's far from the truth.And why is the comic written by writers that are all non African? Or non African American? In the cover is they are all white Marvel characters.
Uncanny 100 is just the best can't wait till I get one. I got a French Tomb of Dracula at the same what not show you were talking about. My first foreign language book. Thanks for the info about Jim Rugg @BZackheim. I picked it up without knowing anything about it as well. I saw it on a dollar claim show and just added to the stack. Have to give it a read. Uncanny 141 a no brainer as well. I agree if you don't collect X-Men and get those two books (141 and 142) its a win, win for sure. A great read and those are books you could invest in.
