ASTONISHING TALES #29 - MINE, MINE, MINE!


Copyright MARVEL COMICS

Above is the seller's photo of a comic I've just purchased on ebay for a very reasonable price.  It seems to be going for silly money these days, mainly on account of not many people realising that it's a 1975 reprint of the 1969 GUARDIANS Of The GALAXY debut from MARVEL SUPER-HEROES #18.  I actually have the MSH #18 original, obtained between 25 to 35 years ago, but I had the AT reprint back in the '70s and recently decided I wanted to own it again.  No doubt I'll have fun comparing both versions for any differences, but it's also nice to welcome a former acquisition back into the fold.

Anyway, working on the principle that 'interactive' posts are more likely (hopefully) to attract a response from regular readers, here's a question for all of you.  Is there a US comic you had back in the '70s that you'd dearly like to have again, but the price is currently too prohibitive to justify you forking out for it?  What does the comic represent to you, and do you hope to one day be able to pick up a copy at a more reasonable figure than it currently sells for?  In fact, what's the most you'd be prepared to shell out for a comic from your past?  Tell all in the comments section.
