I love a store that organizes the comics. Actually being able to find things makes it easier to sell things. Who knew?
Fantastic haul my friend and $80 for all of them that's a steel piece 💯👍😎
Thank the heavens Claremont was part of soo many X-Men books! Darn, you have to find more. Unlucky you!😂
Love the Miller run of Daredevil. Love the two Kingpin appearances!
When you finish your run of collecting what you need of X-Men. That may take about 80% of your content from your videos away. I I don’t know what to expect without seeing X-Men books hunted. 😂
Wonderful books! Happy you had fun getting them.
Great haul man! Cool DD books! Didn't know about Kingpin's appearance! Thanks again as always!
Another great haul! I like the background music
Nice pickups and deal! I like all of the Swamp Thing comics.
That is my kinda store, so jealous of all these great shops you guys have over there. I'm planning to attend Baltimore comic con next year and hopefully meet some of the East Coast comic family and spend a couple extra days to visit a few of these places. Great pick ups as always.
That Daredevil by Lee Weeks is part of a great run written by D.G Chichester. It culminates with the sequel to Born Again called Last Rites. If you haven’t read it I highly recommend it.
First - Continue to be in awe of the access to so many incredibly stocked stores you have in New England. The best counter I have is that I don’t have to deal with the crippling cold/snow down here in the south lol. Keep featuring these stores so that they don’t die to online outlets!
Second - I collect in the same way of focusing on specific runs and story arcs so it’s great watching the channel.
Again, some nice bin pulls👍🏻
Yeah I did buy DD 170,171 Very nice high grade but I bought them off eBay this time last year. Yeah I paid about $30 a piece,oh well leave it to me🤣 I would spend some time and money in that place. Very nice video Mike and thank you kindly.💯❤️
Boy, i remember buying all those swamp thing books back in the day at a shop in Cambridge ma.
I love the hot pot right up the street from there.
I really love your pics my favorites of the bunch are the X-Men .they look like they would be pretty exciting and awesome to read. keep up the hunting. One quick note .I just wanted to let you know that the 6-inch 1997 X-Men are out at your local Walmart I checked out the first wave and they are awesome. they run about 25 a piece. thanks again for your content keep up the good work.
It’s gonna be awesome once you complete that Claremont run!
Sure will!
Great selection at this shop! As a Frank Miller Daredevil collector I know that was a hell of a deal for those 2. What a great haul!
Wow!
Alec Holland met Ted Sallis!
🤯
Store looks amazing! Need that in my home town
I feel the need to travel and ghost you when you shop.... Illinois in my area only has comics because I sold a ton to a card shop so people could GET comics!!! Obviously,I'm not gonna stalk a fella 😅 you DO FIND awesome stuff!!!
Happy you found some more of your issues you needed.
Great video! Always showing new places for us comic collectors to hunt!
Great Haul!!!!
Great pickups and that store looks amazing! I went to a store this weekend that was highly touted and nothing was organized. It was so disappointing. Also I was digging in long boxes one day and found a Punisher War Journal 12 signed by Jim Lee! And it was only $4. Such an amazing find.
That’s Entertainment (The Fitchburg location), is my usual LCS, where I have my pull box and such, but I make a pilgrimage down to the Worcester location couple times a month or so to dig through the back issues. Fairly well organized, and a TON of them. My only real complaint is the prices of the back issues. Most of them, obscure run-fillers and all, are $3.99 and up. If you’re lucky, you’ll find a few for $2.99. Most of these are dollar books all the way. They do have a good deal, tho, if you buy 20 you get 20% off.
I'm in awe of this place.
Love that both you and I are going after the Claremont run. I only need #94. I am also collecting all of Swamp Thing vol 1 (got em all now) and all of vol2 through all the Alan Moore run ( I only need #37).
Keep the great content coming.
Nice pick ups Mike. That's E is my LCS, I live only minutes away. They always have plenty of books to choose from. If you are looking for fillers sometimes you can find some in their new dollar bin section. It's not big but sometimes you can find some gems. The boxes are near the new comic wall. 👊🏼
That’s right, maybe I’ll run into you there someday Carlos!
@@lunchmoneycomics I was there on the 4th, they were letting people take a picture holding a Marvel Comics 1 cgc 2.5. It was crazy holding that book.
@@Loscomicjourney I heard! I couldn’t make it over there this weekend unfortunately
Another good one!
interesting fact, Daredevil 170 is also when Kingpin's name is revealed to be Wilson Fisk.
It really is a shame that the store doesn't board the comics in the backbins, but glad you were able to pick up quite few that didn't become damaged to the point of severely lowering their potential grades. Well done, sir.
Yeah not seeing those comics boarded was depressing.
Good evening Mile
Those swamp Thing covers are great, covers I have not seen before, they were a great team
How near a you to completing your Alpha Flight run? It was a favourite series of mine. You might find this hard to believe, but I stopped reading comics when they took my four colour pages away.
Keep up the great work

I will repeat my mantra MA is the real capital of the US comic hobby. I live in the heart of NYC, and there is nothing that compares to this store or most of the flea markets shown on this channel here in my area or in most big cities. I travel enough to know what I am talking about. For those familiar with New Jersey collectibles, he had a similar venue but quickly ran out of new places locally to explore. The cost of doing business in more populated areas is likely why, but there have to be more reasons. We are lucky to have this channel, great job. One additional thought that surprises me is it took so long to learn that, and that LMC is the first high-quality channel in that general location to shine the light on this phenomenon.
Love Swamp Thing covers, but also talking about “trading stock” is smart too. Whenever I pick up Spawn newsstands I know they’ll be cheaper ways to trade up for better books. Big fan, keep it up!
Thank you! I visited that store 6 or 7 years ago and just couldn't remember where it was or it's name. I've wanted to go back and now I can.
Hopefully you hit up the nice guy in the strip mall in Eastern Mass that I also can't remember. It's not Rubber Chicken. Just a nice guy that gave me a smoking deal on a stack of bronze books in great condition.
I like the foil comics think the value goes up well with these
The shirt rocks!! Love the Xmen and DD books some of the best writing in my opinion. Great deal of those books
Nice haul! I've been subbed to you for a while but you never come across my feed. Glad to get to see some content.
Really? That’s very strange. I put out content every Monday and often Friday as well. We are all at the mercy of the algorithm gods.
About 78 until 92 was an amazing era for the X-men.
I was impressed with the prices I saw. Looked very fair.
I'm so envious of your location. It seems that there are countless comic book options for you. Flea markets, comic shops or antique stores. Phew! You are lucky!!
I really am lucky to live where I do, it’s definitely not lost on me!
That Swamp thing run of books you got are great reads and as much as I enjoy the painted Cover on #34 it is the story that really makes that issue a prize. A romantic interlude between Abby and Swamp Thing that crystalizes their relationship and has really great visuals accompanying the prose. One of my favorite stand alone stories of any comic. Enjoy the books.
Always love to see X-Men and Alpha Flight (my favorite book of all time)
Absolutely killed it ..that's a great haul for 80 bucks and tax!!!
Great scores! Especially the X-Men and Daredevil issues. Hard to beat a bundle deal like that. And it's kinda wild how it sticks out when shops organize their back issues.
Happy hunting!
That was a good pickup I really like the covers of the swamp thing especially with the monarch butterfly that was a great cover. Or as I like to say a terrific cover.
Nice find with the signed book! Glad you were able to pick up some nice back issues from my LCS. Their back issue bins will have a photocopied cover for key/older books that are in higher condition that they keep behind the counter. Bring the photocopy to the counter and you can get your minty copies.
I need to move. I would love to have places like that around me.
I would have bought all those davedevil frank miller run at those prices
Love the Swamp Thing pick-ups! Interestingly, a lot of the Alan Moore Swamp thing issues were not approved by the Comics Code Authority, which by then had lost a lot of its 'authority' over comic book content. These issues are very tame by today's standards, but I do remember at that time the controversy around that title. #34 in particular was a controversial issue. I think DC realized how special this title was at this time (especially with its strong sales) and let the creative team go forward. #53 with Batman is one of my favourites!
Nice Haul!
Nice finds. I especially love the Frank Miller ones!
Those DD early Kingpin issues are the most undervalued mini-keys in his run in my opinion. Nice grabs as always. If you made me read a DC book, it would have to be Swamp Thing for me as well 😂
That's a great haul for $80! The Moore Swamp Thing issues are great. If you're looking for other good reads from DC, I highly recomend Grant Morrison's Animal Man run, I think most of them can had for just a few dollars each and it's one of the best stories ever. Another great read is the John Ostrander Spectre series. Most of them can be found in dollar bins, although the last 7 or 8 issues in the series are a little pricy because they were way under-printed and one of them is the first appearance of Mister Terrific (rumoured to be in the new James Gunn DCU) - that one goes for about $100.
I'm also a big fan of Frank millers daredevil run,Claremont's X men run and especially Alan Moore's swamp thing run great haul for just over $80, also love X men adjacent titles with alpha flight and Excalibur my favourites,thanks for entertaining us Mike,love the show,ATB from 🏴 man
Nice haul, Mike! I too need to complete my Frank Miller DD run!!
excellent hunting and pickups, Mike.
That shop looks amazing! I definitely need a place like this for run fillers. Great haul, Mike!
Thankyou Mike for using the word "behoves" (or "behooves" in US English), your channel offers not just a great deal of fun and interesting comic book facts but also instruction in the English language.
I have Nelson and Murdock on retainer to get me out of those < ahem > embarrassing public situations.
Miller's Daredevil, Byrne's FF, Simonson's Thor - the 1980s was definitely the decade of great writer/artist driven series.
The X-Men have travelled to Asgard a number of times in Annuals and Specials and they are all great reads with top art.
Don't feel too bad Mike, my poor record-keeping in the past meant that for years I thought I needed some comics when in fact I already had them (which is how ended up with three copies of Conan The Barbarian #3, not a cheap comic!).
You have impeccable taste in selecting those Moore-era Swamp Thing issues. Just don't sell them this time! And you're right, Totleben evolved into an excellent painter.
Ya, all those nice books unboarded with people flipping through. 😮
Great looking store
I know you meant to say X-Men Annual 14 is Gambit's True 1st Appearance 😂😂😂 my 3 copies would appreciate that acknowledgement.
Great haul as always... did you make it over there this past weekend when they had Marvel's first ever comic book in store to view and get a picture with? I know Rhode Island Comic Con probably got precedent.
Bagged not boarded? Savages.
What’s up with those Black and white covers of Fantastic Four and Daredevil? I have never seen them!😮
Those are photocopies of nicer books. You bring those up to the counter and they give you the actual copy. Keeps them in better condition that way
Great they're located on Lois Lane!
As always awesome finds!
This seems to be a great place to complete more difficult runs. It looks like they had lots of great back issues. Just wondering is before that discount. Are they still priced well or does the discount make it decent?
A little bit of both. Certainly not all are priced accurately, some high some low, but the discount definitely makes a difference
Prices on the east coast are ridiculous. Way too high
John Byrne Alpha Flight comics are so cheap!
Watching ur vid got me curious about how much the original art for issue #34 (vol2) was sold4... From what I understand, it was stolen (or "missing" as DC called it) right from DC offices... Thanks4 all ur vids Mike! Def1 of my fav RUclipsrs! 💪
Thanks so much! And I did not know that about Swamp Thing 34, thanks for that interesting tidbit!
Do you have kids comic books? Am a big fan of comic books
and it looks like its located on Lois Lane....
How much are your comic books
do you have the FCBD of the 2015 secret wars?
Hmmm, I don’t think I do actually
I will send a pic :)@@lunchmoneycomics
Whats with the crappy background music?
