I liked your video because it gives me the feeling of going to the comic store myself. Very interesting and enjoyable. I love looking at all the comics. They always say "collect what you like".
I like the format in which you have a set amount to spend and must get the most for your money - the hunt is part of the fun. And getting comics that grab your attention is pure collecting, so well done.
Hi there just a question with all these key comic book hunting , I've seen videos where people go through dollar bins / etc and buy a lot of key comics. My question is how do they decide if they need those key comics in their collection. coz I suppose this would take so much space. How do you know if you want those key comics in your collection? or do you just buy the key comics because they are key comics?
There are a lot of good comics from the mid 80s/early 90s that you can get on the cheap, because they printed so many of them, back in the day. I feel anything by Byrne is worth having. I assumed those were $1 bins you were digging through, though. If that were the case, I might have snagged that Batman/Spawn, Batman/Punisher, or some of those early Cloak & Daggers by Leonardi & them. Also, I’d go back to that dirty store, you went to a while ago. You could probably get a good stack of 20 comics or more, for $20 or less. If you’re in the mid-west, Half-Price Books are usually good places to dig through. I got me a Thor 337 for 25¢, from one of those joints, several years ago
All the comics in that shop have listed prices of $3 or more. Most of their prices are absurd so they would not allow me to get comics for as low as $1 a book.
Unfortunately, you overpaid on Action Comics. A lot of stores overprice because they are brick and mortar and have bills to pay. I get it. Don't be afraid to look up values on your phone and haggle. If they refuse to come down on their price, then leave the book. If they want to lose a sale then that's on them.
Looking at all of those books and the various characters, publishers, etc, it makes me wonder how any comic book writer can create something that is new that doesn't contradict something from the past. How do the writers know what was done decades and decades ago storywise in a character's past. A person can't read thousands of insanely out of print comic books to come up with something new. A writer doesn't even have a list of what has been done and who the character has interacted with. Somehow Shazam now seems to be able to shoot lightning bolts. That was a new one for me and I don't like it at all. The Shazam movies are nothing like the original Captain Marvel but then too, how would I really know just what the character was like, or any of his family. You have thousands of books of fantasy in one comic books shop and these are much newer books. I can't understand how consistency of a character is maintained.
That Alpha Flight #51 you paused to look at is the first published work from Jim Lee at Marvel.

I like comic book hunts like this. I don´t think it´s boring if it isn´t lots of talking as long as you show us what you are looking at.
Love your passion for collecting
I would go back and get that amazing fantasy 10 (1st app of Nina price) vampire by night for 4.99$ a steal and half like a 50$ book roughly
When I hear stuff like this, it makes me think that $50 is way to high.
love these kind of videoes seems like you are at the shop
You scored with Peter Parker spectacular Spider-Man plus it’s a newsstand edition. Have a greaded
Pretty common, about 50%+ books of the period were newsstands. If you can get a high grade, then that’s something.

Yes that Action Comic #594 I see in dollar bins all the time I have several copies of them.
This comic book store is a little pricey.
Heebeegeebeez!
Love that Peter Parker issue, great find. Enjoying your videos, keep it up.
