Another challenge for The Green Hornet...a laser! Thanks for sharing, Bill! #DesertDwellersUnite

Nice haul Bill! Marvel Team Up was a wonderful series throughout its run and I was a faithful subscriber for many years. I remember as a kid being so excited to remove the paper sleeve, and years later to open the plastic mailing bag, to see the team up for that month.🎉

Marvel has been releasing Omnis of the Micronauts this year. They must have run out of things to print.... 😉

Nice books Bill and nice grades 👍👍👍...I want some of those prizes 😜😜... Thanks for sharing ✌️ my friend and have a great day b safe out there and stay healthy 🙏🙏

Only mentioning a couple of prizes...you're playing with fire, Bill! Awesome Ghost Rider and Micronaughts slabs! Thanks for sharing. #DesertDwellersUnite

Great run of Team-Ups. I'm working on this run. I just won issue 2, 3,and 4.

Nice books Bill 👍👍👍... thanks for sharing ✌️ my friend and have a great day b safe out there and stay healthy 🙏🙏

MTU was a cool series. There were two stellar 4-part stories that I know of -- one of which is #s 82-85 with Fury, Shang-Chi, the Widow, and Spidey.

That was an Amazing and Spectacular haul

Very nice Bill love this series good stuff my friend👊👊

Great Marvel Team-Up books! Spider-Man is my all-time favorite. Thanks for sharing, Bill "Rock Me Amadeus" Miller! #DesertDwellersUnite

I'll take Ms. Case to lunch!

How dare they do that to Ms. Case!!!!! If the Green Hornet doesn't get them, I WILL!!

While the previous slipcase collections were cool, this one I find the most interesting. The others kinda turn me off since they are color comics reprinted in black and white. These were originally in black and white, so the reproductions are more faithful and accurate. Thank you for showing them.

That Hornet makes me green with envy!

What's that you say??? You're going to try these videos with all the lights off???? PERFECT!

Good thing Mini Musings doesn't watch this channel

Nice fanzine and slabs! You can't go wrong with Ghost Rider and Wolverine. Thanks for sharing, Bill! #DesertDwellersUnite

Love the Doc Savage books. Marvel Tales were how I read a number of the early Spidey stories. ••• Don't let @ericbreen4340 know you have ASM Annual 15. He'll drone on and on and on about how great it is.....

I always liked the Marvel Tales comics that had a unique cover to the ASM comic that they reprinted. I guess they stopped doing the unique covers because it cut into the profits since a complete reprint was pure profit (excluding printing costs, of course).

Well, with you being president of the Star Trek fan club, you should be pulling in enough dough to be able to afford the original ASMs now.

Great stack of books. Marvel Tales is a good way to go to get Spidey in the PC.

Great pick ups! Amazing Spider-Man is my all-time favorite. Marvel Tales is also a good one for a Spidey collector. Thanks for sharing, Bill (no relation to Frank Miller) Miller. #DesertDwellersUnite

Nice books Bill 👍👍👍...

There are a lot of EC fans who poo-poo on these mags but I think they are fantastic. They're full of absolutely stunning illustrations by the EC artists at their peaks and the stories are very good, although I haven't read an issue of Confessions yet. The shading and all the different perspective techniques the artists use in these magazines really charged the B&W illustrations I think. Awesome set Bill!

Those Sea Monsters mags look cool, never seen those before. I assume that is a text and photo mag ala Famous Monsters? I highly recommend that Marvel Preview Merlin issue as it has stunning John Buscema art inked by Tom Palmer. Great pick-ups all around.....except for those Disney themed, off title homage, Spidey comics. I just don't understand the concept there. But I'm old...

Do you drive the ComicMagMusingsMobile yourself? Or do you have a driver? Thanks for sharing, Bill. #DesertDwellersUnite

Saved the best for last? Call it something else, but you are a Trekkie

Nice set of books. I had no idea that was a Norem cover on the Merlin Marvel Preview. I'll be on the hunt for that. ••• Interesting enough, I started unboxing a shipment from MyComicShop at the beginning of this video. The difference is, I unboxed the 12 "rar" comics and 1 magazine, rebagged and boarded them, cataloged them into my database, and read 3 of the comics before you showed your first one. Just saying.

Bill the Arizona Pirate? Great books and comic magazines! Thanks for sharing, Bill. #DesertDwellersUnite

An interesting and eclectic mix of books mate, lots of which I have not seen before much. Is this one you recorded a while ago? I think I saw buff Merlin on slingers maybe

Nice pickups bill!

Heavy illustrated story seems to fit right. And good way to view issues that didn't make it to print. Thanks for sharing, Bill! Happy Halloween! #DesertDwellersUnite

Great slab choices. Her blouse folds at the elbow crease are realistic for a ruffled bow blouse. Somewhere in the inking perhaps too shadowed. It would be interesting to see what she's wearing inside the pages, if there is correlation with the cover or not. #4 is the most unique cover of that 4-issue series without a doubt. Too bad Avon didn't stick it out and go longer with many of their titles. This was their methodology more often than not, the quick little runs and one-shots. If you ever find a copy of Gun Molls Magazine from the 30's it would be like a needle in a haystack.

👏 Love it!

Very cool slipcase. ••• I've been thinking of starting up a comic book along the lines of Saddle Justice with a character that looks a lot like you. The title will be "Saddle Tramp".

Oh boy...Godzilla, Gangsters, and Grumpy TH-cam host

I liked Orca. Of course it was MANY years ago that I saw the movie. Great pre-code crime and Godzilla slabs. And you rockin' rims? I was able to grab the rim but never able to dunk. Thanks for sharing, Bill! #DesertDwellersUnite

Lol... Now you know y I have a magnifying glass with me all the time...🤣🤣.. Awesome books buddy 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful art in all those volumes no matter what

Another beautiful set. I’ve never had this one. I think this one came out right after I left the Army and was going to college, thereby no money…. I think the print run on this late set is minuscule and you don’t see it very often. ❤

Thank you for the shout out Bill! As I may I mentioned in a previous comment for another of those great EC slipcase sets videos you have shared with us, this is the only set of that collection that I am lucky enough to own. As you said in this video, those sets are well known for their quality and they can be quite expensive in the secundary market. I was really patient (for many years) until I got a good deal on this set on Ebay. If I was going to own only one set of the whole collection, it was going to be this one. First, obviously, because they are westerns. Second, unlike the New Trend series, these stories have not really been collected in reprints (only one volume with the first half of the Gunfighters series by Dark Horse). Third, this might not be one of the celebrated New Trend series, but they still carry nice art by some of the same great artists such as Graham Ingels, Johnny Craig, and Al Feldstein. Maybe these last two arguments can help you convince the fabulous Mrs Musings to let you keep this one? Good Luck CMM!

Sweet slippy ECs!!

Great looking Gun Fighter and Saddle Justice slip case set! I'm sure you will find a good home for the set and make someone very happy. Thanks for sharing, Bill! #DesertDwellersUnite

Ooooh! I know @BUBSWORLD181 is eagerly waiting for this episode! Thanks for sharing, Bill. #DesertDwellersUnite

Nice books Bill!

Oh boy, it was only a SEMI-unboxing! ••• So, you've gone beyond issue 20 in slabs for both of those series? I thought originally you were only collecting 1-20 in slabs. ••• Johnson Smith Company got a few of my shekels back in the 70s. I don't recall what I got. I need to check out one of those ads to jog my memory. Make a video where you read the whole ad. 😉

Just a heads up, if you read the title of your video before you unboxed your goodies, you would know what you are about to unbox. Guess Mrs Musings hit you with the frying pan before you filmed this

As far as I'm concerned, Aces High and Piracy are two of the most gorgeous titles ever in the art department. A regular murderers row of some of the greatest adventure artists of the 50's. The stories can get repetitive but the art is absolutely spellbinding. Piracy #7 with the deep sea diver, treasure chest and shark is on my list of top ten comic book covers of all time. Psychoanalysis I think came about for a couple reasons, one, psychoanalysis was a popular topic in the 50's and they were just jumping on the trend. The second reason is that they had Jack Kamen, a great talent, and he must have been interested in it because he drew every story and cover for the series, pencils and inks! I think Extra was a similar vehicle for Johnny Craig as he did most of the heavy lifting on that title. Gaines had a stable of great artists that were perfect in certain types of genres and was seeing if anything would stick at that point. Beautiful set of books Bill!
