I love that you are introducing both of your children to comics! DC Comics will be 100 years old in 12 years and the industry needs to be getting new readers to start the hobby if it wants to keep going.
Glad to see DC getting some love! And the X-Men 18 is awesome!
He did really well on the X-Men book clean and press it, and it might even be worth getting graded
Those are all great deals with a 20%discount. What a nice picku-up bro.
Thanks for sharing awesome pick up to and for their good price. It's beautiful what comes out of the mouths of children when you ask their opinion when they're that young LOL
All man, I would say Crisis. I had forgotten about that series, it’s been a long time . I remember talking to my buddy Adam on the bus going home and to school about super girl’s death. I had a crush on Supergirl when I was a kid. Watched the movie and was Star gazed !lol Never collected those, for some reason. Probably forgot about them, life happens. Thanks for sharing
Great upload as always !! I’m always looking forward to your new videos 🙌🏾
J&S is one of my favorite antique stores to go hunt at wonderland comics not so much. Glad you were able to knock off some more of your xmen books 😁
I love that place Putnam is great..my wife took me to dinner at Elizabeths farmhouse right down the street.....super fancy
Love your comic tours!
X-men 18. Way cool. Great find. Great price. 👍
I love Silver Surfer and X-Men 18!!!❤🔥
Makes me wish I still lived in Connecticut! Loved all the pick ups, especially that Surfer. Love that cover!
Crisis on infinite earths #7 is on list of comics to get. Love that cover
Great video I’ll be stopping by wonderland Saturday to pick up comics great store👍
so many amazing books !
I found my Silver Surfer #1 in the only one little vintage box in the store under a table on the floor. I opened the box and it was the first book I grabbed. Love the channel!
Great find, and thanks for the nice comment!
The Comic Wall is looking pretty sick buddy👍
Nothing like DC MAN DCOMICS WILL FOREVER STAND💯💪
I think you will love Crisis. Great read. Amazing art. It was my major introduction to the worlds of DC. I was a Marvel zombie prior to reading the series.
Byrne followed it up with a reboot of Superman. (Man of Steel miniseries and vol 2 of Superman) Also good reads as they lovingly draw you into the mythos of DC. Enjoy the read. I may have to get my copies out and give them a reread.
I JUST picked up that same silver surfer also! great pickup. great stores in Putnam
Jeremiah's Antique and Collectables!
WonderLand, Comic Book 📚 Store 🏪
Connecticut, USA
I remember that Silver Surfer’s promo poster in my lcs. My young eyes popped out of my head. That image alone makes the book a classic.
Crisis is such a great series. I just picked up 7&8 myself, from a great seller on IG. Then I came across the whole series for $40 on FB. I pick that and Secret Wars up every time I see them. And as for reading more DC? That’s an awesome resolution, you won’t regret it!
Very nice shirt I have with myself!
Loved final fate of Flash. Great video. Thank you.
I bought that one-shot of Silver Surfer when it was new. Still think it’s a great book!
Id run back to the store, return those DC comics 😂 and grab that pre-code Horror book. Those are becoming more rare as time goes on.....and the cool thing is is that they don't have to be keys....just pre-code Horror.
Can never go wrong with Crisis! But X-men 18 is the biggest get.
Man that antique store had really good prices! I wish I had a place close to me like that!
ALOT OF GREAT OLD ISSUES , NO AWESOME ISSUES AT WONDERLAND BUT THE ANTIQUE STORE ACTUALLY YIELDED THE MOST FOR YOUR DOLLAR!!!GARY BAILEY KING OF DARKNESS ONCE AGAIN
FANTASTIC PICKS ONCE AGAIN!!! GOOD RESOLUTION D.C. IS WONDERFUL TOO DEFINITELY LOVED
THE INCREDIBLE HULK #198, AND THE 2 CRISIS ISSUES
Wow, if only our comic shops were like that in Canada. I'd be broke.
Excellent X-Men pick-up! My favorite this time around. Although you do have me hunting for that Silver Surfer cover now.
Boy Mike, that Silver Surfer was awesome looking. Thanks for the heads up! Love the LMC. 😃
Nice books. The X-Men 18 cover is awesome.
one thing I would say to collectors that are starting out is to start in the dollar bins to explore what you like .
I'm not a Silver Surfer fan, but I love that cover. I've never seen it before. Gonna have to keep an eye out for that one.
Hey bro. Glad I was able to help you with checking out wonderland. They we’re very excited when I told them about your video but I didn’t know that they got a hold of you That’s cool. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m also glad you liked that antique store. These are both my regular haunts. Lol. When I go in the shop this weekend I’ll ask if they’ve seen this video and see what they say. I know they loved the first one. Take care man. Oh love the crisis issues. Been wanting to pull the trigger on those for a while.
Yeah thanks for the tip, and if you stop in to Wonderland tell them I said hi! I did tell them about the video just before it posted so hopefully they saw it.
Love the story of your daughter guessing what’s going on on the cover!
Never knew about that Crisis series and how pivotal it was in the DC universe. Thank you. I’m a Marvel guy so never really paid much attention to DC other than The Dark Knight series which blew me away when I read them as a kid.
That X-men comic was a great deal, I would def buy that one at that price.
Thank you for another great video and keep up the good work!
You are so lucky. If I had access to that many comics, I would be broke all the time. Good hunt.
Did I win something or is this fake?
@@jamescriswell1505 it was fake, it was a scammer and I already removed them. You can always tell because they can’t impersonate the name of the TH-camr. If you see that again on my channel or another feel free to report it as spam
Also I Love Raw Comics Your Background Game Is NICE !
I feel like that Silver Surfer and Super Villain Classics: Galactus are awesome 80s retellings of these 2 Legends and should only gain in value once they hit the MCU.
New mutants 9 1st appearance of Selene nice spec.
If you can't trust the word of a 6 year old, who can you trust? 🤣🤣 Awesome haul, Mike! It's hard to pick a favorite, but that classic Magneto cover is so beautiful.
Love that Byrne surfer. Picked up a copy for 8$ this summer
#artofthecomic
Absotlely loved tha pre-code horror cover. I respect that it’s not really your thing, I just love the history of those books. The way Wonderland was set up was very organized and pleasing to the eye. Awesome pick ups overall, can’t wait for more videos!
Some nice pickups, particularly the X-men 18. That’s a nice price for that grade. The antique store had good prices, and with the additional 20% discount, I may not have even made it over to the comic shop.
Great video and haul, just recently came across your channel and subscribed. Wish we had flea markets and antique stores that sold so many comics here in the UK. The Silver Surfer issue was probably my fave, I just recently got a few silver age Daredevil at a decent price.
Thanks so much!
Keep seeing that Detective Comics 583 1st appearance of Scarface and Ventriloquist at that antique shop you keep going to. I just picked up a copy myself. Might be something to interest you in the future.
DC fan, so my favourite books are the crisis one, but I think the Xmen 18 is the best pickup because of the book and age.
I love anything that is Silver Surfer related, so I think it was a good pick up in my opinion. Love that issue of the New Mutants, and remember reading it as a teenager. Started my daughter on comics and she loves Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy...
I'm a big Silver Surfer fan too and the Lee/Byrne one-shot is an excellent comic. Lee had exclusive rights to write Surfer stories for quite a few years after the original series was cancelled; he did a great two-parter called Silver Surfer: Parable with amazing art by Moebius and a graphic novel called Judgement Day (I haven't read this one, very hard to find), both in 1988. Your daughter is very advanced in her character recognition, well done Dad. Those crime comics put out by Lev Gleason are a niche area of comic collecting but they have their fans; there's definitely no doubt what happened on the cover of that issue of Crime Does Not Pay. Crisis On Infinite Earths: often imitated (mainly by DC) but never equalled, let alone bettered. The recently concluded Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths is a case in point - good but nowhere near the impact. In all, a very successful night of buying Mike, and an early X-Men you couldn't pass up, given cost and condition.
thank you! Your videos are so much better, when there´s no music playing over the video during "the hunt"... just my 2 cents 🙂
Thanks, I’m inclined to agree with you, but when I add music it’s almost always because I have to cover non-licensed music in the background, loud ambient noise, or salty language. Since I can’t get past that stuff without making a silent film, I have to add music.
Just found the channel!!!
Conn. has some grear spots!!!
Yes it does!
It was the Thing who came up with how Silver Surfer can escape earth into space
Thanks for that clarification!
Nice video. I really wish I lived on the East Coast, you guys have all the cool comic shops. I actually remember buying that Hulk 198 off the rack when it came out. It was actually part 2 of a story that began in the previous issue. I was kind of pissed at the time because Herb Trimpe had been taken off the book and replaced with Sal Buscema. Took me a while to come around to Sal's version of Jade Jaws, but I eventually really came to appreciate his talents.
Great info, I’ll have to track down the previous issue then. Thanks for the info!
Didn’t know there was a mutant older than Namor or Apocalypse lol. Crazy to learn this.
I watched a few of your videos because YT recommended, now a subscriber! Great content Mike, thanks for sharing your comic adventures and recapping what you got at the end. BTW, my cousin Eugenie Bondurant played Azarel in that Werewolf by Night Disney special.
Thanks so much for subscribing and that’s awesome about your cousin! I hope she’s proud to have been in such a cool MCU project!
Usually see silver surfer going for $20-30.00.
Would definitely pick up Captain America 168. 1st app of Phoenix aka helmut zemo for $8 minus 20% not a bad deal.
Antique store prices are better go back for more.
CoIE 7 & 8 for under 30 dollars.....lucky!! I only have been able to find 7 and of course it was over priced but it was a nice copy so I still got it.
I bet shop's will give you a deal for exposure, which is cool.
Eh, sometimes. If I really know the people they often help me out but I never feel right doing it, I love these places and enjoy supporting them.
Now that you have been to both Wonderland Comics and That's Entertainment, you should do some sort of Comic Shop Battle between the two lol!!
You went right past the first appearance of Metallo! 😢 AfterI pressed it, I actually pulled a 9.8 copy from Jeremiah’s a few months ago.
I did see it and it’s an awesome cover, but I see that book a lot for pretty cheap. In retrospect probably would’ve been worth it with the sale going on. I wonder what the condition was. Congrats on the 9.8!
I’m surprise you didn’t pick up that Spider Man negative cover
Wonderland has a rewards program too I get 5 bucks off almost every time I go
That's true, I forgot to mention that!
The X-MEN 18th is my favourite. Really cool cover 😎👍.
Ps new subscriber
Blade and underwold wouldve been awesome!
I have a lot of those 70's and 80's issues but mine are only in fair to good condition...
I’m a Marvel guy but if I were to dive into a DC character I’d probably try out Green Lantern.
Great finds keep up the excellent work
Hey Mike I enjoy your videos Man just wanted to comment not sure if you noticed that first Frank Miller Daredevil was a Whitman variant also I just noticed your X-Men lunchbox I'm lucky to have one of my own I love the collaboration of Jim Lee and the late great Steve Lightle keep up the good work and happy hunting
I didn’t notice it was the Whitman variant. Oh well, maybe it will still be there next time I go back (unlikely). Thanks for the Eagle eyes!
I have the death of Barry Allen but I need the death of Supergirl. I love the Silver age and Bronze age DC covers. There are some great Neal Adams DC covers on my want list. I also picked up Green Lantern 81 yesterday the death of Hal Jordan.
Ludicrously low prices, some comic book shops buy comics for resell at these low of prices.
Love those crisis covers. I just bought mine the other day. Now I’m going to be on the lookout for that silver surfer book.
I think your contest is getting scares. I received some messages yesterday about winning. Ended up the said I won a Xbox. Thought you may want a heads up
I was going to say you should check out wonder land
Thanks for the info on Hulk #198. I'm putting it on my list. You always collect similar books as I do. Congrats on your earliest x-. You should grab that crime issue. It has a really neat letter. A boy writes and promotes the title by letting the editor know between his dad's leather belt and this Comic series he stays out of trouble 😆
Good to know! I’ve been meaning to head back there, maybe I can still get a good deal on that crime issue!
I know someone who has a better copy of Amazing Spider-Man 101! I have definitely got to get down to Putnam to see this place!
Love the Silver Surfer book , but my vote has to go with the early X-men. They are also my favorite series to collect. Great video and I hope to visit those stores the next time I come North to visit my family
All of them are great finds .... but I will always be partial to X-Men.
Love the video, would you do a collection video anytime soon?
Maybe I’ll get around to one sometime this winter. I have like 5 videos already uploaded and scheduled so it might be a while before that pops up.
Crisis is a Great comic but I'm biased towards DC. I'm also biased towards the Underworld movies. The first two were probably the best Vampire/ werewolf I've personally ever seen. Plus Anytime U get Kate Beckensale in leather fighting Vampires and werewolves, I'm All In😂👍
👍
Xmen 18 is the top book you picked up on my opinion. I'm a man thing maniac and that manthing hulk mash up is a super sick book to own for sure. I'm on the hunt for it starting tomorrow at my local shop here in Central Florida. Great video as always 👍
Good luck, it’s a super cool book!
@lunchmoneycomics what happened it say I won something for the new tears?
@@lunchmoneycomics did I win something?
@@artegoldberg519 not from me, that is a SCAMMER, you can tell from the name it’s definitely not me, please ignore and report. No TH-camr will ever ask you for money.
@@artegoldberg519 that is a SCAMMER, do not reply to them at all, I’m working in removing them
Love those 2 Crisis books, would love to get them for the price you paid, the others in the series you can pretty much get in dollar bins even though there are some big keys.
Stayed tuned to next week’s Monday upload, you may very well see those books again!
It’s interesting watching the price creep, those issues have more than doubled in 6 years. At least it’s based on interest.
Please record asking your daughter questions about covers again that would be awesome to see. You don't have to serve face or nothing we just want to see the book and hear her reaction. And again thank you for a great video and for sharing.
Hey Brother Gotta Tell You your channel inspired me to get back into comics .. sweet
Wow that’s truly an amazing to hear. Glad I could help, and enjoy!
I am not thankful they did not do movie of Kate vs Blade. That would have been awesome. Black leather vs black leather. What’s not to love? Great video. Loved the Christmas decorations and the guy wishing you Merry Christmas. You give great descriptions when you are home. But I sort of wish you would comment on why you pick up books. The price and why you grabbed or why you put down. I can understand why you would want to be quiet inside but we could hear you speak softly while inside store. But again a nice video. Keep it up. And yes a disturbing cover I stay away from those. Mostly. Too scarey. Xmen book was a nice pickup.
I’ve done voice-overs in the past, perhaps I can try that out again for a few videos.
I think you missed out on a nice whitman variant of a key book by not grabbing the peter parker 27.
Yeah I didn’t love the condition or price, but I definitely thought about it
You must be my long lost twin! I just picked up that Silver Surfer#1 and X-Men #18 🤯!! Surprised you put back that Killing Joke, unless you already have it..
Yeah I already have the killing joke, but that’s a pretty crazy coincidence on the others!
Also, I’m actually on the side of UnderworldXBlade would’ve been AMAZING
Nice Silver Surfer. Does the Hulk comic have the Collector in it?
Yes I think he’s the bad guy in this issue
Oh boy growing up Black Queen was a guilty pleasure 🤤😻Her light appearances in Marvel Comics Presents, Captain America, Wolverine, ect. were lustrous. Funny you mention X-men 18 cause Erod212 just did a video showcasing that "cool" book.🥶Go see his latest video to see what i mean.
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Some nice pick ups Mike. I am a die hard Bronze Age DC guy though I so like Marvel. That said, I loved the whole multiple Earths concept and wasn't a huge fan of The Crisis series. Still, those are sharp looking books. Hulk #198 is nice. I am a bigger fan of #197 with Bernie Wrightson cover art. I like Man-Thing but lean towards Swamp Thing more. I think why is Swamp Thing can talk and think more so than Man-Thing. Both swamp creatures had some great artists like Ploog, Wrightson and Redondo.
Surprised you didn’t grab that Killing Joke 4th or 5th print….?
I’m not sure which print that was but I already have a copy, I should dig it out and see which printing that one is.
You’re in heaven
Isn't that 1st FM Daredevil a Whitman???
He should have gotten avengers 148
Poor Wonder Woman, someone was going to shoot her for getting lime disease.
