Comics I Want In 2012

On: 4:15 AM By: Unknown 0 comments

Obviously I have too many comics, hence the name of the site. That does not mean my collection is complete though. There are still a lot of really cool comic books I'd like to add to my collection.

I will focus on just a few comics this year so that I might actually achieve my goal of getting all of these comics. So, without further ado, here is my list:

X-men 11 in CGC grade of 9.0 or higher

I have a decent copy of this book to read but would like to add a nice graded copy to my collection.

In 2011 I completed my graded collection from 1-10 and might start to expand that collection to 1-20 graded if I can find this book in 2012.

Exciting Comics 57, 60, 61, or 66

I would be happy to add any of these issues to my collection. The covers are all fantastic Alex Schomburg art, and would compliment a few of my Jumbo Comics Sheena covers.

As I had mentioned earlier I only recently (in 2011) added my first golden age comics to my collection and really like some of these early good girl art covers. Schomburg was one of the creators that caught my eye early but the issues are harder to find in mid-grade at a price I am comfortable with.

Regarding the grade of the issues I'd like I would be happy with anything in the 4.0 (very good) or higher range. A presentable lower grade with a nice front cover might work for me as well.

Amazing Spider-Man 129 in CGC grade of 9.2 or higher

As one of the most popular issues of Spider-man I feel I should finally add this issue to my collection.

Spider-man is not really a character I collect, well not since the Todd McFarlane issues in the late 80's, so I never picked up this issue.

Collectors of course know that this is the first appearance of the Punisher. As a teenager this issue was always on my need list and thinking back I am surprised I still have never owned a copy.

I aim to change that in 2012. This issue is very "available" so I will just need to budget accordingly and select a copy that I really like.
