My 21 year old daughter got me back into comics about three years ago. It is a great hobby and I love going out hunting with her. The time I get to spend with her is so worth it to me.
I have 2 very young boys (14 months and 4 months, one of which is partly named after Peter Parker 😅) and I really hope that they love the hobby with me. If not that’s ok, of course. But then who would I pass down my books to??
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
Really appreciate the effort to reach beyong the "Flipper" scope of books. Maybe I'm just old, but I see so may jerks in the Comic community, that I end up scrolling past most posts. I could just be a "get off my lawn" dude, but I like it when someone just collects something that looks/seems cool.
Awesome video. I think regarding some of the comments about prices, you are right on Mike. Folks need to remember, you can always make an offer, especially if you're buying a big book/big haul (or both) and the shop is willing to work with you. I know some have rules against haggling. In that case, you might want take your business elsewhere if you're that hung up on the prices. Also, New England is a higher cost of living (and generally more highly compensated) area - that can also make regional prices a little different. I just hit up the collectibles show at the Boxboro Regency this past weekend and managed to get a good chunk of change shaved off of my purchases. You lose nothing by asking!
I recently picked up that same signed with a sketch version of Sandman 50. The sticker price was $110 (Canadian) but the store was having a 1/2 price sale on all of their raw signed comics so I got it for $55 (about $40 US). I also got copy of Fantastic Four 232 that was signed by John Byrne for $15!
Neither of my kids is super interested, but I think I'm getting my daughter hooked. I was in Ohio with my family on vacation and stumbled across a cool comic store in the Convention Center. Picked up some Transformer and Conan keys.
Super awesome books! I just started going to Brickhouse comics and I love hunting there not knowing what you’ll find in those long boxes. It’s funny you posted this video after I had went last weekend😂. I’ll be posting a video soon about it as well!
If memory serves me, and these days it is getting rarer and rarer, but I believe that Louise was one of the premiere illustrators of the Golden Age, She was the first to draw Miss Liberty, One of the artists on Black Cat, did some of the Horror and Sci-fi of the Golden Age, and of course your Classic Comics Aladdin.

Totally awsome Brother. My Parents were born in 1946. Love All Your books. Thanks always for sharring Your passion and adventures. The closest I got to My Dad doing something popculture with Me was Him driving to a record shop and Him waiting in the car while I shopped for vintage vinyl lol😎👍❤️💯
Sandman #50 signed by Gaiman, limited to 5000 with COA and a sketch of Gaiman by P. Craig Russell? I'd pay $100, let alone $50. I've been a Sandman fan since #1, my favourite issues are the ones in which Morpheus interacts with William Shakespeare. The role of women in the comics industry is huge, and hugely under-appreciated. There were some amazing female writers and artists working in the Golden Age.
I just started again and my oldest son digs comics. I can't wait to go hunting when he visits soon!! Thanks again for inspiring me and that "Tales of Suspense" classic the best find
Good afternoon Michael Great show as always. And I have to agree with you on comic pricing, -Guys stop complaining about the price of comics, the seller is doing his best, he has to buy the comic, offer a fair price to the seller, pay all his bills and have a littlle something left for the groceries. Imagine if you had to sell your collection, would you not expect the best possible price ? At the end of the day, it is your wallet that determines the price of comics. Nuff said Cheers Al the Goldketfourcolorkidownunda
Love that tales of suspense 😀 Tales to Astonish 😲 and Tales of suspense have always been two Grest titles. That comic shop did look great. Where I live, they would never have that wall of comics like that display. There is one shop here with all the back issues in draws. Not displayed ! You have to ask them if they have certain issues your looking for, you Cannot go back there and look through them. So sad 😞 Loved this video, thanks 😊 for sharing it with all of us. PS my wife shares my hobby, like your son does, she Loves ❤️ Silver Age ASM, and has a huge collection from the early 60's on up. 😊😊😊 your son is lucky to have you 😊
Hi Mike 👋 The price on the comic is irrelevant, not happy don’t buy. We all have different reasons why we collect and as you said if a book speaks to you go for it. Some of my books are what would be called ‘low grade’ but I love them for that reason, I’ve had a life like just like they have 🤣 As always another entertaining video.
Great comic finds. That Darkclaw comic brought back fond memories of when DC/Marvel joined forces temporarily. Another question. Can you draw well enough to do superheroes? If so, would you have liked a job drawing for the Majors? And aside from Nightcrawler, what character would you have liked to draw for. Ok, that’s a few questions lol. Lunchable is a great handle for your boy 😂
I really like those tales of suspense books I only got about a half a dozen of them got one coming in the mail and I'm bidding on one right now. Happy to see that you're interested in my favorite heroes.
Gosh Mike. All this time I’ve been under the impression that you set the comic book prices for every comic shop in New England. I’m shocked to find out that isn’t the case😂
Yeah that Classic Comics spoke to me too. It's now on my wish list. Gorgeous. P Craig Russel's style is very much like the Arabian Knights illustration.
I don’t understand the complaints about price either. If I see a price on a book that I want that I don’t like… I just don’t buy it and find it cheaper later.
If you sit tight, I have a feeling Sandmans are going to come way down in price very soon. In fact, I think a lot of Neil Gaiman stuff are going to be blown out at rock-bottom prices. Having said that, "Sandman: Ramadan" is incredible. Too bad.
Glad to see John & yourself out in the shoppes together! Cool!! Gotta confess that it was good thing I was NOT accompanying you guys... when you pulled out a coverless 1st app of Batgirl I said a bad word that I rather your son not hear!! $120 for that...Wow!!
If you are happy with deal / price paid Mike it's all that matters really. One persons 'tat' can be anothers much sought after gem 😊: its all down to what you collect & love! Great that your son is interested in your hobby and you are right the time flys ✈
Troll train strikes again. Nice pickups. I went hunting this weekend for the first time in a long time. Finished my Canada only Spider-man anti-drug series.
If you really wanted the comic then within reason I would pay it 😂 as we don't have many comic shops to choose from in England not as many as I would like that is. I buy the new releases instead bought a scarlet witch comic no 1 just because of the cover 😊
Love when 1/2 off is just what they should be worth. 😬 Glad you were able to find those great deals. I agree about that Arabian Nights comic. That style of art wouldn't be done right today. Something only the 60s could bring us. Would be interested to see it under a black light.
Lol I'm a statistic comment now....sorry Mike. Would love if my dad stayed in the hobby with me. He gave me his few comics he had when he was a kid. Then preceeded to question my staying in the hobby all these years!? 😮🥺 Whoah the Arabian Nights is from the 40s?! Hate making comments early. Have to or will forget what I wanted to say, though.
how do you find comic book shows or places that are just purely just comic book meets or these comic book warehouse?, any time I try and search for anything like that all that pops up are comic cons I just want to find places that are just comic books.
@@exiledrainbow50 I find a ton of it on Instagram and Facebook. There are lots of local comic groups in my area and I follow a lot of people in the hobby on IG. I try to do a lot of networking to get leads on stuff like this

My son and I collect together. It's fun.
This is a great video!! My dad was like look at this wrench, study the size. You're like look at this cool Dark Claw book. Good times
Seeing you and your son enjoy hunting together just melts my frozen heart. Thanks for the great content, as always!

That Hulk #1 (1st Red Hulk) was a $3.99 newsstand edition. I would go back and get it.
Brick house comics is less a store and more a marathon. Whenever I leave there my hands are cramped and my wallet is empty.
