I was telling @comicfoil.bsky.social earlier about my holy grail, passed on when I was 9 because I thought it was too big an ask of my mom. I obtained it via eBay several years ago, and upon unwrapping and smelling the 45-year old newsprint, wept for a minute.
What’s a book/issue you’ve waited on?

Mail call!
Thanks to the many friends who have recommended this to me over the years. Snagged a nice copy (mildew excluded - wiped the whole book down with alcohol wipes when I unpacked it! 😬) from AbeBooks. Looking forward to this, likely in January.

The Joker vs The Skipper Thanksgiving Dinner Showdown! Their fight over Anton is probably the most tragic aspect of what undoubtedly was a bitter feud, as I’m sure Anton used to play concertina at the Lobster Barrel before Cesar worked his charms to lure him away… “For you, my dear Anton - A PIANO!”

Trick is, we have several inches of snow arriving on the weekend, so I’ll need to bag whatever I can ahead of that. Sure glad all the trees are 2-3 weeks late this year.

May as well get my Hulk on.
Interesting tale about this cover - from the GCD: It appears copied from a John Byrne drawing (1979 Marvel Hulk Calendar); positions, clothes, and details almost identical to the Byrne drawing. JB states he was not aware at the time that his drawing was used.

By the way, here is the back cover of Marvel Treasury Edition 24 (1979) - allegedly by the same artists credited on the front.
