Say that is pretty cool. You probably have a book neither Dan or myself own. Well done! ;D

There is no Swamp Thing #48; at least not from the first series, which ended at issue 24. There is a Saga Of The Swamp Thing #48, however, and the 3rd series may have gone that far......

Dang. Your #150 looks so clean and white it must be darn near mint. Probably a good candidate to CGC but I'd hate to see a book sealed forever in plastic.

Sounds like you were picking up those books the same time I was null. The local 7-11 store seems to be a fairly common place to pickup comics back in the day. That's where I got most of mine though our store was helpful with both Marvel's and DCs. It also helped that my older brother suprised me one day with a box full of about 400 comics that really kick started my collection and though it featured slightly more Marvel than DC it was a pretty good cross section of mid 70's books. I was about 11 at the time so the event blew my mind. Flaming Carrot Rocks. :-)

Tom was nice enough to give me half of those comics. I remember grabbing all the Spiderman and X-Men Giant Size #1. Lord, if I only knew what that one was going to be worth! I remember him insisting on me taking all the DC titles, too. There were a few Adams Batman & Superman in there; nice stuff.

Yeah. I'd like to have some of those books but over the years I've had to make some tough choices with my collection and have nearly cleaned house completely a couple of times. Never again!!!!!!!!!!

The swamp thing brings to mind an experience I had,
I attended a viewing of the 1982 release of "swamp thing" the movie,...I remember it because the indoor theatre I was watching it at had a marsh directly behind the theatre and we had record rain that month and the engineer that planned the place forgot to bump the F.F. elevation to account for a large storm event.
Needless to say, the front row had about 4 inches of marsh water in it and the smell made that mediocre movie quite memorable as it was in "smell o vision"
Heh.

Boy, CZ, that sounds like a real mess. I saw the aforementioned Swamp Thing at the theater as well but it wasn't nearly as memorable an experience to be sure.
