CRIVENS' COMICS CAVALCADE - ROLL UP, ROLL UP...

You Crivs could be forgiven for thinking I've lost interest in collecting comics, what with the amount of toys and other things I write about on this blog, but such is not the case.  To prove it, here are some of my recent comicbook acquisitions, some newly released, others from last year.  So let's take a look at them one-by-one.

I still have my original copies of these two Spidey mags, but I just can't resist Marvel's and DC's Facsimile Editions.  Hard for me to accept that these two comics are 40 years old, nearly two-thirds of my life ago.  Number 260 will be released soon, then I'll have facsimiles of a trilogy of The Amazing Spider-Man mags first published in the '80s.  Don't let them pass you by.

Below, an updated facsimile of House Of Secrets #92, featuring the first appearance of the Swamp Thing, but not the Alec Holland incarnation.  No, he came later - what we have here is Alex Olsen's moss-encrusted mockery of a man.  DC now place the unsightly bar code box on the back cover, which works better for mags that never had a bar code originally.  Unfortunately, they still haven't spotted a clumsy lettering touch-up which renders a speech balloon confusing (see below after cover).

'At me funeral' - eh?  A shoddy touch-up of missing letters.  Original on the right

The ever-intrusive bar code on the 2019 facsimile

Police Comics #1, below, contains the debuts of Plastic Man and Phantom Lady, and is a nice one to add to any self-respecting collection.  DC are even getting better at reproducing the ads which originally appeared in these periodicals, some of which in previous facsimiles have been pretty ropey and not up to scratch.

JLA #1 gets the facsimile treatment (below), with the bar code once again being delegated to the back cover so as not to blight the front of the mag.  Hey, I've even included it here so that you can see what I'm talking about.  Doesn't look so bad on the back, does it?  No doubt they'll start reprinting previous facsimiles in this way and I'll have to buy again the ones I already have.  I wish Marvel would start putting the bar code on the back of their facsimiles too.

Below are a couple of mags that were released last year - Origins Of Marvel Comics and Son Of Origins Of Marvel Comics.  Stan Lee's exposition is absent from these publications, which are almost wall-to-wall classic Marvel Origin strips, with crystal clear reproduction and perfect colour-registration on every page.  Just look at the rear covers to see exactly what's included, along with the original covers inside as well.  Every genuine Marvelite should have these two issues, whether or not they already have previous reprintings of these iconic stories.  So what's holding you back?  Get over to eBay right away!  (And feel entirely free to leave a comment about any or all of these mags should you feel so inclined.)

Oops, almost forgot!  Also snagged Neal Adams' last major work for Marvel, The Fantastic Four - Antithesis.  Below is the collected softcover edition, same size as a regular comicbook, but I also got the larger Treasury Edition, the better to see Neal's artwork in greater detail.  The covers are the same so I won't repeat the image.
