 Hi everyone, this is Chih-chou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book haul video Okay, and this is a special comic book haul I guess we could categorize that as a special comic book haul because this is going to be the video that we're putting out for our 700th live video that we have online So this is sort of an anniversary video right since I guess I started loading up on video, loading videos on YouTube specifically and Vimeo on Daily Motion at the time as well About 12 years ago right? 2007 or so and we're 2019. So after 12 years We've reached 700 videos right? So for this anniversary video, we're going to go through a comic book haul and This comic book haul is basically Comic books that I've bought acquired over the last two months from a local seller that was selling online Okay, that way I didn't I'm mainly specifically low buying locally right now because I'm on a comic book budget So I've sort of decreased my policy Local comic book store and I'm just mainly getting things that I've been collecting for a long time some random stuff and online I've sort of just buying from a local seller and sometimes from sellers that are Not in my local vicinity and I just ask them to hold The comic books we've been buying for a month or two months and then shipping all together right that way we can Distribute the shipping cost and we've gone through some of those right? but this one is from a local seller that I've been Going and getting the comics for the last couple of months and there's only 39 books here. Okay There's some amazing deals some bottom feet bottom feet or stuff that I was able to get my hands on for Nothing, right? There's some stuff here that I Really wanted to get to fill the collection and there's some stuff here that I actively Sort of try to collect if I can get it a good deal Right if I can low ball the beds and I end up winning by fluke or there's no other bidders on there, right? So let's go through this thing and just to let you know 39 bucks. Okay, these 39 bucks They cost a hundred dollars Us approximately a hundred dollars us plus or minus a dollar right so a hundred dollars us for 39 bucks So it ended up costing me about 250 Us a pop per unit because we've been keeping track all the previous comic book calls been doing We've been doing a lot of per unit pricing, right? So these book cost 250 per unit, okay One of the books was about 30% of the whole buy. It's something that I really wanted in my collection, right? So one of the books was 28 dollars. Okay, so if you take out that book We ended up getting 38 books for 70 dollars us which kicks it down to like $1.90 dollar dollar 85 or so I sort of run the number dollar 85 or so us per buck, right? If you exclude the one that was like 30% of the cost of this whole haul. Okay So let's go through this and as you know, I sort of do research when I see comic books when You know, I'm gonna be placing a bit and stuff I sort of do a little bit of preliminary preliminary research if I don't know too much about the specific comic And if I know about the comic, I pretty much know where the price range should be or what price range I would like to get it at right and When I end up shooting any comic book haul videos, I do a little bit of extra research just for my own satisfaction because I go through these right and And just looking at them and just just looking up the artist and stuff like this So I do a little bit more research. So this is what I've collected here, right? And For this haul, let's start off with books that I tried to get in my collection. I'm trying to complete the series And This is a sought-after series for sure and it's Jack Kirby Mr. Miracle, okay, and it's related to the fourth world that he created And we're gonna be doing in comic book haul In comic book reading set number four that we started like two years ago Yeah, I forgot that we've been slowly going through right we're gonna read I believe we're gonna read new gods number one, right? So this is mr. Miracles in the same world as new gods and New gods and forever people, right? You might be reading forever people So I'm not sure which one we decided to read. I gotta check my notes, right? So I ended up grabbing four mr. Mr. Miracle comic books and the seller actually had The whole series from number one Was number one there number one was there as well number one all the way up to 17 okay, and out of that I ended up getting four of them So let me tell you what I ended up picking up this one and what great they were I didn't write the great for these ones the mr. Miracles were all in very fine plus, okay, so These ones except for the last this one. I forgot to write down the great for this one This is the only one I didn't write down the great for I don't know why But I'll tell you what the grades are as we're going through them, okay This is the reason I put them at the back of the book, right? So when I do my halls, right? Sometimes when I get the halls and the comic book halls or when I bought them buy them in a store What not if I'm putting them boards and back I do put the grades on these books, okay? So this is mr. Miracle number 17 grade it at very fine and And Why I ended up paying for this and this one came out and again It's the for this the the script the pencils and the cover are by Jack Kirby and the inks is by Mike Moyer, okay, I had to write all the stuff down.

I wrote on the I don't remember this at all. I've read Some of this not all of it. So I'm not familiar with that mr. Miracle as As much as I like to be But at some point I will definitely read the whole series, right? and Shiloh Norman From wiki, I believe this said young site kick to mr. Miracle and from my comic shop I believe this said the info was it's the third person to use the name mr. Miracle and I didn't know this, right? So it's the first appearance of Shiloh Norman unfamiliar We're familiar with this one day One day I'm gonna sit down and read all the fourth world in one shot and just consume that Maybe we do it this summer. I don't know we got a fair bit of reading to do, okay? Let's kick it up to the 1960s. Okay, check this out check this out and Again the person It was a local seller all this was local seller this one He put it up and it was he put out the complete series for this and I was only able to grab three of them Which I was you know, I was on budget someone kicked off one of them fairly high Okay, and this is Here, let me show it to you in order Let's go from here to here. This is the comic book series called the invaders, right? We ended up getting three of them Now this comic book series is this TV series Okay, this is a comic book series based on the TV series This TV series is absolutely phenomenal. I Saw a few episodes when I was younger, okay? I haven't seen the invaders for 30 years or so or 25 to 30 years or so so in my early childhood to the early teens They were showing reruns on TV and stuff and I saw a few episodes and this story The story of invaders is basically a person that finds out that there's an alien invasion On earth and he tries to warn people, right? So this is I looked this up again. I found a comment somewhere saying that this is like a Decade or two couple of two three decades before the X files, right? So this is the precursor to X files and the TV series from what I remember was really good and I Read the reviews online and people it sounds like it's held up Through time because it's got a pretty high rating people talking about it. I read some of the reviews and stuff. So I Have got access to it I'm gonna watch a few episodes. Maybe I'll give you guys a review if I end up marathoning the thing, right? So this is invaders number two, okay Graded at very good plus and the TV series for this came out in 1967 and It had 43 episodes. Okay, the final episode was 68 So they put a 43 episode. I guess it ran for two seasons, right? So this is invaders number two graded very good and we ended up paying Now he had number one and I had bid on number one and bid Reasonably, you know a good deal, but fair value, but a good deal very good deal and I got out bid on that, right? I can't remember what it went for it was It was ten dollars or around there, right? This is invaders number two. I picked it up for 25 cents Canadian Graded a very good plus and that ends up being 19 cents us. I Was like, man the guy outbid me on invaders number one And he let me have this one for 25 cents, which was I Guess he blew his budget So he must have been on a lower budget than I was maybe right? This is invaders number three graded at very good and We ended up paying two dollars and five cents us for this Happy to have this happy to have this and As you guessed it, I believe there's only four issues in the whole series, right? In the first series that came out and this is the first series that came out and this is from gold key 1967 and this is invaders number four graded at very good and we ended up paying dollar Eighty six for this Very happy to have this very happy to have this Okay, and the main actor is on the photo covers on these things. Okay? This story I should tell you the the story for this for the for the invaders is written by Paul Newman and the art is by Dan Siegel, okay, and Paul Newman. I'm not familiar with that single I believe I've seen his artwork before for gold key stuff But Paul Newman other than the actor doesn't ring a bell with me Okay, and I got a little quote from wiki here It says the invaders is an American science fiction television program Created by Larry Cohen that aired on abc for two seasons from 1967 to 1968 Roe Thines stars as David Vincent who tries to thwart an in-progress alien invasion with doubling doubting officials and public the series was a Quinn Quinn Martin production. Okay, and the photo covers here. I believe I looked this up like This is the main actor. I believe Okay, Roy Thines I'll know more after I start watching a few episodes Let's do a one one comic.

It's uh, I didn't write it down. I read it.

There's a caveman That's also brought back to life by lightning and stuff like this, right? So it's pretty cool And Steve McQueen man, Steve McQueen is a phenomenal actor He was one of the great actors on the same level as James James Dean, right Steve McQueen and he did a classic movie called a blob or this blob Alien I believe there's different adaptations The original adaptation is it's an alien that lands in the city and it starts eating people up attaching to them Basically like a slug starts Uh digesting them and gets bigger and bigger, right? So that's one of Steve McQueen's original first roles So that was awesome movies great sci-fi movie be sci-fi movie from that period and then Steve McQueen graduated to more and more brilliant roles, right?

Okay This is the second human fly the first human fly was appeared an amazing spider-man I'll be surprised it says I think I looked at amazing spider-man Number 10 annual number 10, but I think I have now you understand. I don't recall it, but annual number 10 This is the second human fly. Okay The second human fly was a young man of a known identity who was severely injured during a car crash after a long high hospital late hospital hospitalization Including a number of reconstructive surgeries in which much of his skeleton was replaced by steel. He took on the massed identity of the human fly as the as the human fly He performed their level stunts to benefit various charities special especially those helping children with disabilities. That's cool right His activities often drew him into conflict with criminals who were often seeking to rob the Charity events at which he performed additionally He drew the attention of a spider-man who thought he might be the villain of the same name and the original human fly I believe died So I guess spider-man got involved in all this thing they crossed over because he thought this was the previous human fly coming back The character check this out. This was cool when I read this up, right? The character was based on a real-life stuntman rick Rajat Okay, the comic book Carried the tagline the wildest superhero ever because he's real Okay And photographs of someone in a human fly costume appeared in the books Jim Shooter a high-ranking member of marvel's editorial staff at the time of publication Okay said in 2007 that the photos were indeed of Rajat, so I didn't know this was based on Uh a real-life character and that's probably that's why they're saying that the tagline there, right? Which says the wildest superhero ever because he's real Didn't notice One of the reasons I love doing comic book calls, right reading things and researching and finding stuff out Very cool. Very cool the next set of comics Now he had a whole set for these available. I ended up grabbing three and this is marvel presents okay, and This is marvel presents guardians of the galaxy So this is Number six marvel presents number six and he had their their ones available. They were above my budget. I couldn't get them Okay, so the guardians of the galaxy created by stan lee uh, arnold drake and roytonis and roytonis for me is amazing, right? Nice covers So guardian's galaxy is old school marvel, right? It's not just the movies and the crossovers and stuff They've been around for a long time as it's like the avengers. They change over time and stuff different people join and there's like Futuristic guardians of the galaxy and stuff, right? So marvel presents number six 1976 okay fine plus Which is nice great mid-great nice mid-great Ended up paying $1.68 us for it, which is pretty good press cover pencils by writt rich buckler inks by frank giaco giaccio Uh, the photographic man script by steve steve gerber gerber pencils by al Milgram inks by terry austin for this one Okay, they're pretty intense the guardians of the galaxy.

So oh, yeah, this is characters I'm not following the tv series arrow, but I believe this character is made in appearance of arrow That's what the note said Or say after his initial appearance the character gained his own ongoing vigilante series Initially written by wolfman and later included writers such as alan moore.
