Sifting through the bins...

So it looks like I've decided on my first purchase this upcoming month, and unfortunately its not a $1 comic...

I'm picking up a copy of Amazing Spider-Man 136 in good condition. Mile high has one on ebay for $13 and some change. That's over half my budget, but I remember buying Amazing-Spider Man 80 at one of my first shows for $10, so its on par. It's graded as Good, which by Mile High standards puts it at VG+ which is fine by me. It's also a key bronze age issue and its in a run of spidey's that I don't have any of yet. My earliest spidey issue is still 80, and the next is 203 - so this will be my first venture into the 100's of the early-mid 70's. Tough on the budget, but will make the rest of the decisions even more exciting knowing that I have a limit!

I'm really stoked about this issue - first Harry Osborn as the Green Goblin.

Still deciding on the other comics to fill holes in other runs. Really taking a hard look at the current Justice Society of America. I have the first 7 issues, then it jumps to issue 20 for me. I didn't even realize I had issue 20 until I was doing a little sorting today. Mile High has alot of these issues for $1.05 up to face value in Fine or better condition, meaning they're NM never read issues. Justice Society and Justice League are honestly the only two DC comics I've had a real interest in during the last five or so years. I've never been a huge fan of Superman - Batman is really cool though. I've tried reading Green Lantern but couldn't get into it. I did get into the whole Omac Project thing about five years ago and collected alot of comics I never cared about reading because they had Omac tie ins.

Team comics are really cool though. My three favorites have been New Avengers, the current JLA and current JSA runs. I have a HUGE gap in the New Avengers run. Pretty much from issue 10 up to the start of Civil War. Once the Initiative started I was on the way out of comics due to my son being born. Hard to believe they're up in the post-50 issues.

I might pick up an old Defenders issue to see how it reads. Hulk as a team member could be interesting.

More decisions to come!
