I've slacked off on volume of posting everything I've gotten and chopped it down to more important items.

First, I got my House of Secrets #92 (1st Swamp Thing!) in the mail today and it-looks-awesome! I'd probably grade it a solid 7.5, maybe an 8. I've wanted this book for awhile.

Also, while at the LCS today picking up a huge stack of new stuff, this variant, that variant, yadda I got to step behind the counter while the owner was waiting on other customers and look thru their back issues there. I found several 12 and 15-cent Detective Comics in sweet condition and she gave me a heckuva deal on them. Really nice addition.

Anyhow, happy Thanksgiving to all~
