Dear Dr. T, First and foremost, I apologize for failing to notice this video for an entire 12 days. I would also like to thank you, however. Your videos bring endless entertainment to my day. I could spend hours re-watching your videos, time and time again. You are the only channel I am subscribed to. In fact, I downloaded all of your videos, shorts included, to an mp4 on my phone just in case my internet goes out. Thank you again for bringing me the best comic content I have ever seen. Sincerely, your #1 fan, Noah “sus the noodle” smith
The Thing may be my collection I sold to James. The wavey bags and the big white tabs on the back sounds like my collection. I bought them all off the rack back in the day and read them all. I rebagged my whole collection back in 2000 - 2001. Glad it went to someone who can appreciate and enjoy them.
I am honored to have them, only one generation removed from their off the rack purchase! They are all in such nice condition. I absolutely love them. Thanks so much for commenting so we could make that connection.
I have a near complete Ultimate Spider-Man run (2000), and really would like to focus on that Wolverine volume 1 run. The full Thing run was unexpected!
Whole run of The Thing…..awesome. I haven’t started collecting full runs yet. Also, seeing the old advertisements is such a time capsule of what else was happening when the book came out.
I have Wolverine 1-50 that I bought when I was in college when they were first issued. Fortunately, I have them bagged and boarded so they're still in good shape.
I got a subscription to Marvel Two-in-One not knowing the title was set to be cancelled a few issues after my subscription started. When I expected to receive issue 101, I instead got The Thing 1, as my subscription continued with that title. I ended up owning the entire run.
@@doctortcomics2576 I had four subscriptions between 1980 and 1986. The first one was Avengers (issues 194-217). After that it was Rom (issues 16-67), Alpha Flight (1-29) after I saw a house ad for the series, and MTIO (98-100)/Thing (entire series). I also was buying books each week off the newsstand starting around 1980-81. There were no comic shops anywhere near my hometown, so every book (all Marvel) that I bought between 1979 and late summer of 1987, with the exception of maybe eight issues in '86 and '87, were all newsstand editions. Even though I had ordered back issues from Mile High Comics through their ads in comics a couple of times in the early '80s, throughout my childhood and adolescence, I had no concept of there being actual stores that sold nothing but comic books.
Your dad had them? LOL I saw the color in your beard and thought you were a bit older like me. I remember getting some of those off the spinner rack back in the day.
Rock on dude! I had no idea that was you (don't know why I didn't connect the dots) - I've dug your channel for over a year now I think!

Haha, a little stalky, Noah. Just a little. Thanks for watching. 😂

Very nice pick-ups. James only deals in "key issues." 😉
Indeed!
Lol great hearing your kids reaction to you taking out those books. Great buys my man!

And an X-Men 94-300 as well!
I forgot The Thing had a series. That 28 seems like a homage cover.
Daniel Day Lewis collects comics ❤
Nice acquisition, love the books!
Haha, not the first time I have heard that.

Seeing the Hulk 181 add was really cool, especially since I have one!

What a great run and the fact that you still have them. I love that.

Wow, thanks for sharing! What other books did you subscribe to? Did you also pick up books off the newsstand?

I am a youngen of almost 40. I wasn’t around when Thing 1 hit the spinner rack!
@@doctortcomics2576 being almost 40 is not that bad. Means you have plenty of things to read lol
I'm working on the same 189 issues run. Only 3 issues left. Oh and this is volume 2. Volume 1 is the 4 part mini series
Well so it is! Thanks for that info!
It's Marvel Premiere 19, not Ironfist 19
Yep, just a mistake.
