Comic Shelf from the Month That I...

April, 1983. I am 9 years old. Parents divorced the previous year, we would go to a bookstore in Sturbridge, where my Dad lived. Something about that MARVEL UNIVERSE encyclopedia caught my eye. "D-G"--I remember the first entry was Dragon Man. UNCANNY X-MEN is #168 here--I didn't get this, but I know was subscribed for #176, just a few months later. I eventually picked up that issue of EPIC magazine too. I largely avoided DC comics, dabbling only in TEEN TITANS and LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES for the most part--and that only after DC also made an encyclopedia (WHO'S WHO) some time later.

Mine's pretty dull too...but it is funny that I recall getting a couple of the horror books pictured in a big box of comics at a yard sale when I was like five or six.

They're probably worth about a dollar combined.

Bob Hope had 80 adventures?
What child was reading that?! Was every other word ballon "Yeah, I tellya..."
EDIT- wow, some of those Bob Hope books have Neal Adams and Mort Drucker doing pencils...crazy.
At least you've got Metal Men #1 on yours, that's pretty cool. Someone should have bought that for you as a newborn gift.
