Just told my fiancé “babe come here lunch money just posted “ 😂
Quickly becoming one of my favorite comic channels. No hype and all that. Just a genuine love for the stories and the hobby. Very well done.
Thank you so much!
" Ican’t punch, kick, or fly away to escape this cancer. It just doesn’t work that way "
My favorite all time comic book ! Great pick up.
What I love about the “death of captain marvel” cover is the resemblance to Michelangelo Pieta
Love the Amazing Spiderman issue with Cletus Cassidy. Read that back when it came out.
I've always said that small comic shows are where it's at for deals. Nice pickups. Demon in a Bottle is classic and still on my list to get.
Great pickups. Want that demon in a bottle one day myself. Weapon X is a great cover and issue.
I love the Golden Age stuff. As I get older I appreciate the books that are older than me so much more. Especially when they’re in better shape than me. And thank you for mentioning that it’s ok to get a lesser value book because you actually want to READ IT! So many channels seem to talk about the value a book has. I don’t care. I just want to read the story.
I love the guy that says. I want this and then when the seller was still talking to you he says. I want this. I want this right now. Ok? Sounded desperate and sounded like he was going to pay Face Value. That cracked me up.
That Iron Man 128 is an awesome one! I found a copy in about the same condition for $5.99 at my local antique shop. I picked that one up real quick 🤣 Great finds and awesome video 👍🏻
Some really beautiful Lee Elias horror, lb Cole shock and just great golden age at the beginning!!!! Oooh baby.
Wish I could afford more of the golden age stuff Alex, I can definitely see the appeal and why so many people are into it!
I love the story of that veteran. I live at Veterans House here in Ottawa. There are lots of veterans here that are alcoholics and or drug addicts to deal with their past traumas. It is very sad to see. We have had two deaths from each here within the last year. I applaud him for getting help!!
Definitely a great haul for not much money. Another awesome video, Mike!
The Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel is a personal standout for me. BWS' run in the Weapon X storyline in Marvel Comics Presents is also an exceptional read. Captain Marvel was one of my favourite heroes growing up and his death was a shock to me, as well as how permanent his death was in the Marvel Universe (given how Thanos and Warlock have been revived so many times). Keep up the great work!
Great pickups! The Iron Man is my favorite. 😊
Very nice pickups. Love that Death of Captain Marvel book. Slick black cover.
Have you ever made a video tour of your wall books? I see some really cool ones, but it’d be interesting to hear your take on them
Not yet, everyone asks so I’m sure I will at some point, I just haven’t had time!
Dave Stevens was one of those artists you had pick up any book he drew. Specially the Rocketeer. I sold my copies along time ago but recently I’ve wanted to have them in my hands again. This hobby is so irritatingly addictive!!
BWS just passed a few weeks ago. A Legend.
Great video as usual from Lunch Money Comics. Great no nonsense channel with an excellent host and some awesome books! Allen does have encyclopedic knowledge of comics. I am always impressed with his knowledge as well.
Captain Marvel was one of favorite characters growing up. I got away from comics for about 15 yrs and when I came back this was one of the early books I picked up. It broke my heart when I read it, but remains one book that I always want in the collection.
That being said, I recently picked up another copy and this seems like a good day to re-read that story.
Thanks for sharing!
Until now I had never seen a copy of the iconic Atomic War except in photos - the cover is even more powerful in your footage Mike.
Excellent synopsis of the Death Of Captain Marvel Graphic Novel, it really hits you in the guts.
Dave Stevens was a brilliant artist and writer and we lost him far too young. And you're right, The Rocketeer movie is really fun and true to Stevens' character.
The Golden Age comics are the highlight here for me, so much variety and imagination.
I dig that Pacific Presents #2!! I was fortunate enough to meet Dave Stevens at Dragon Con in 1991!!
Nice. You got some good books without spending toooo much money. Happy hunting!
All great stuff. I have all the Spectre books from the 60/70's + Omnibus. Phantom Stranger next.
Captain britain, spiderman and spiderham sounds like a good find to me
I have never heard of cardiac. I can definitely relate to him!!
Love the Iron Man 128 cover. I have always wanted it, and was able to pick up my first copy this year.
Captain Marvel graphic novel was the first one I bought when it came out Ana he dies from cancer and years later my father passed away from prostate cancer. Avengers legends box set from sears bought from catalog.
A vigilante who fights against corrupt corporations? Cardiac sounds like a character who needs his own book!
Great finds love that iron man cover
Great pick-ups as always. Iconic Layton Iron Man 128. You need to pair that with the Green Lantern/Green Arrow 85 "drug issue" when Speedy gets addicted to heroin. Also another important substance abuse comic.
I love the Rocketeer. My parents showed it to me when I was younger and I had to track down some of his books once I started collecting. Recently picked up The Rocketeer Special Edition 1
Good Evening Michael
I am sorry I have been busy with the Granddaughters and haven't watched the latest show yet, But LMC true legend. Almost 8000 Subs. Another Aussue word covers this. Strewth!
Cheers Al The Goldkeyfourcolrkidownunda
Love Iron Man and Bob Layton art, trying to get every issue of Volume 1.
Those pre-code horror, crime and especially that atomic war comic were impressive!
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
East of the River is a fun little show, but i have to say I am a huge fan for Captain Marvel and the death of marvel is one of my favorite reads, I'm working on completing captain marvels complete run, only 4 books left
Would love to see a video or small series showing your collection. Xmen run etc. Just a thought. I wont think your flexing haha
Hello there! Yes, I love that captain marvel tpb. Also picked up that asm 344 about 2-3 months ago. Demon in a bottle? Oh yeah although I don't have that one anymore . Great pickups for sure. 😎💯
I have older Iron man's but I also have 95-108, 110-127, 129-304, 306-332 that iron man is hard to find I guess I could get on e-bay but trying to find in the wild. Great Score I watch you're videos when I donate plasma for free comic book $$$ I hardly spend my $$ on comics I get $120 a week tax free and buy comics
Thank you for uploading this video I needed something to distract me from this awful work day.
You have become one of my favorite RUclips channels keep up the good work.
The wolverine cover was cool. I've never seen it before. :D
Amazing golden age. Right up my alley.
Great books!
Awesome pick up on that Rocketeer book - I need to get that one. I have the Starslayer appearance, and a few other issues from the PC run. The documentary, Drawn to Perfection, is a great movie on Dave Stevens, if you haven’t seen it
I have NOT seen it! Adding it to my watch list immediately, thanks!
One of my favourite arcs was the 2nd Sin Eater arc in Spectacular Spider-man 134-136. This was even more powerful than the death of Jean Dewolff as it deals with mental health. As a person with PureO I can relate to having Mental Health issues and that arc really hits home.
My man, you're an inspiration. 1:00 - If I had been at a show, going through a stack of books and set one to one side only to then have someone else walk up pick up the book that I just put down and say to the vendor, "hey, I want this" without asking me whether or not I was planning on purchasing it, it would have ... put my frame of mind out of joint. But you handled him beautifully.
Congrats on a great haul on a lunch money budget!
Haha luckily it was way out of my price range and I actually knew the guy who bought it, so it was all good!
Great video Mike, and some cool pickups at the show , I just got my Iron Man 128 in the mail last week, keep up the great videos and have a great week. Rick 😎✌️
Death of Captain Marvel was one of the single greatest reads of all time. Read it when I was 12. Still is impactful to this day.
Great pick-ups, Mike. Allan is a wellspring of Goldn Age knowledge and I'm always fascinated watching his videos about them. The cover for Ironman feels very pre-code horror with Tony's face and in that, it reminds us of the horror that is alcoholism that I had to unfortunately had to deal with having a father who was an alcoholic so that cover always hits home especially hard for me. Awesome video as always!
Yes alcohol has recently been a titanic impact on my family and financial life. Luckily I'm learning to put the bottle down and just enjoy life. Depression is a key issue.
@@Utubesanarc I’ll be thinking of you, Michael. I didn’t go through it myself fortunately but my dad struggled for years, BUT, he did overcome his demons and enjoyed the rest of his life sober and enjoying the better things in life.
Great info. on some of the more unknown comic issues.
Great cheap pick ups! Mike, how do you decide what new books go on the wall behind you and which you retire to a longbox? I love the ever changing/growing collection behind you!
Spur of the moment! If it’s a good looking book I want to look at for a while, it goes up and if I get tired of it it gets boxed. You guys can see but I have more comics on the other walls, mostly X-men that I can see fr my perspective while recording
Great pick up.I am going to w comic convention this Saturday and hoping to trade some books to get a grail book,maybe AMS#129,Hulk#181 since I got scammed on OfferUp with reprints and the company willnt do anything about it cause I haven't gotten a refund so never us OfferUp to buy anything cause I lost a lot of money on there.
Great finds again. Love golden age comics, Especially EC comics but they're pricey. I have reprints of Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror. My favorite comic out of the bunch is Iron Man because it has a classic and iconic story. You should get Green Lantern/Green Arrow no. 85. I also did some comic hunting this past week. I got some New Mutants, Excalibur, X-Factor, and X-men to name a few for a bargain. I got some key comics including X-Men 109 and X-Men 141(my first cgc comic).
Good Evening Michael
The Lunch Money comics academy is looking brilliant, I am very keen to see that top shelf, Those Golden Age books you looked though are brilliant. I an sure there are a lot of dealers keen for you to check out the wares to attract the other punters.
There is true beauty in Golden Age comics, there use of color was just magnificent,
That Strange Planets book was beautiful, they were true pirates but they had great comics.
And as usual I have learnt a lot from this show.
I loved the Rocketeer, a great comic a great movie, I hadn't realised it beginnings in Starslayer. Such a shame that film wasn't a great success. And such a shame Dave didn't reap the rewards he deserved. And a great man gone to early
Keep up that great work
Cheers Al The Goldkeyfourcolorkidownunda
That's so cool I never seen the figures of the fist x-men and Avengers
Just watched from yesterday. Coming to Brimfield this week? Went Tuesday and going next two days.
I went this morning only for a little bit, I’m hoping to go back Thursday.
The Super-Mystery he picked up was a steal. That is a huge book. Some of the other GA were good too. The "Shocking" were LB Cole covers.
He did get a steal on that book, he didn't hesitate haha
Wow 😊 - Great Stuff!
Awesome pick ups as always 🤙
Always love your videos! Love all your pickups, but I have to choose Ironman 128 as my favorite one today.
Nice pickups! I blame Allan for me switching my collecting to just silver and golden age books, LOL. I just like the cover art better.
Haha if I could afford it I’d be right there with you!
Like you said Starlin took mid grade characters and made them great reads. I was so heavy into Captain Marvell because I thought with the power cosmic he was the only one who could defeat Thanos. So i was really bummed when he died. At this point in my life I hadn't really dealt with someone close to me dieing. Anyway this one and God loves man kills are the Pinnacle of that time.
I love your videos!
Thank you!
Great Pick Up’s
I really like the way you have displayed the non-slabbed books behind you. Was there a process that you went through to figure out the best and most secure way to display them? Also, how easy is it to move them around? Just curious, thanks!
There wasn’t much of a process. I should have just bought J-channel but I went with some vinyl wall collectors and measured them to fit a comic board. As a result the ones on the wall are not easy to move because they require sliding the other books out… so it looks good but it’s not very practical!
@@lunchmoneycomics Thanks! I was also thinking about using J-channel too.
I love your videos, I have a question. What do you do if you buy new boards to bag your comics in and they are bent?
If the boards are bent? I usually give them a light flex, like 10 at a time and they usually flatten out.
@@lunchmoneycomicsthank you it’s just been a pet peeve of mine, stacking heavy books on them does not fix them lol
What comics do you always buy whenever you seen the issue. Ex. Superman 123 the glow in the dark issue. I have 4-copies now! Plus lots of The Spectre comics that glow in the dark! What comic gimmicks do you like??
So many, any first appearance of a minor X-men character like Forge, Magik, Firestar, etc, and also Green Lantern Vol 3, #48-50. I always buy them if I see them cheap!
Cancer kills Captain Mar-vell
Do you plan on getting the 181 an ff 48 graded?
181 probably, 48 no way, it’s pretty far gone
I bought it when it was out.
Which one?
@@lunchmoneycomics thé death of captain marvel
i read iron man back in the day. so.
Low grade is better than no book.
I recently bought the first appearances of James Rhodes, but I’d love to have that Demon in a Bottle issue of Iron Man. Very nice.
I really appreciate this episode because it reminded me to expand my knowledge and collection. I recently started finding/buying older books and different genres. Keep collecting 🐻🦸🏾
