Avengers
It took me awhile, but my theme for this year is comic books...specifically my collection. Might not be terribly exciting, but hopefully some of it will be pretty to look at.
Growing up, The Avengers was MY title. Loved it. For the longest time, Avengers #5 (above) was the oldest book in my entire collection. My Avengers run consisted of #5, 12, and 17-378. The first comic I ever bought was Avengers #228 and I stayed with them until I stopped collecting in 1994. The title is, by far, the largest in my collection, with a total of 370 issues.
I am unbelievably psyched for the movie next month!

ReplyDeleteI still have some old comics from my youth. I was a DC fan, especially that of the JLA.
Really stoked about the Avengers movie!

Awesome! I'm excited for further glimpses into your mania. Thanks for the plug, too.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a lot the themes and the general stories in comic books, however I have a really hard time when actually reading one. I have a cousin, who is almost like a brother, who was into comics and he would tell me all the stories and developments and I enjoyed those conversations immensely. My favorite comic figures are The X-Men, Venom, and Spawn. Can't wait to learn more about this genre!

17-378. Holy moly, there are some classic issues in that long, long run. I LOVE the iconic Vision cover where he's huge and the cover is blood red. Is that #80?
ReplyDeleteSmacky....I think you are thinking of this one....
