And I'm sure she regards you as a collectors' item classic! Some nice images in these books, but I've still to sit down with just one and read it all the way through; I keep dipping in and out of all of them.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-48259790478521177772016-03-06T06:13:47.435+00:002016-03-06T06:13:47.435+00:00Ah yes, these I do have well, except for the 80s v...Ah yes, these I do have well, except for the 80s volume, that's when comics kinda lost me for a while for some reason. The 50s to the 70s is where the great stuff was anyway, for me. But that could have been because I discovered most of it in the heady days of the 60s and 70s and nothing leaves an impression like your first time, if you know what I mean. These volumes do bring it all back on leafing through them and I love that they cover all of the companies,not just DC and Marvel - Gold Key, Harvey, Carlton...etc. And I think it would be fair to say that most of us of a certain age would have the fruits of a lifetime of collecting jostling for space in some part of our house. Some items, in my case the Marvel Masterworks, these volumes and a few others, do sit in prime shelf position for easy (and regular) access. Good to have a wife who though not a collector herself, understands that her husband is!Philip Crawleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-14617809190201943832016-03-05T10:00:33.276+00:002016-03-05T10:00:33.276+00:00Actually, although I do have a couple of bookcases...Actually, although I do have a couple of bookcases (and therefore the shelves), that's pretty much the same for me too, BS.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-34910283522193829952016-03-05T07:43:16.443+00:002016-03-05T07:43:16.443+00:00Bookshelf?
