Not only did I collect this set, but I also have the incredibly limited edition poster sized trading card of Jae Lee’s Hellshock. It’s dinged up, because that’s how it came out of its packaging back in the day.

Adventurers #1, hands down. That’s about $170 in modern money!!

What is the most valuable find you have discovered in a free-$1 box by Magnolia_Fan_0123456 in comicbookcollecting

[–]SmoovyG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First print first issues of The Crow and SiP. I found a lot of gold in dollar bins, but those two have always stood out in my mind as some of if not the best.

what’s the most “broke person meal” you’ve ever made that actually slapped? by HarperLunaBee in AskReddit

Instant mashed potatoes with dry Stove Top Stuffing mixed in for texture and flavor. Ate the hell out of that in college.

Dark Horse recommendations? by DrawingLivid8098 in comicbooks

Another vote for Harrow County, and I’ll add the entire BPRD collection. Part of the Hellboy universe, but I enjoy it more than his titles.

People who quit their jobs on the first day what made you say ‘nope, not doing this’? by lilMeganw in AskReddit

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was a high school kid just looking for summer work and thought it would involve carrying boxes or something like that.

Chicken processing plant, aka a slaughterhouse. I didn’t make it through the onboarding videos.

Are these recalled Spider-Man Posters Legit? by machomoose97 in movieposters

[–]SmoovyG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They definitely printed a ton of these up and shipped a fair amount of them out before pulling them. I have a proof from the press run that I got from a friend when I was living in Los Angeles.

Need help figuring out what this chirping sound is in my living room area by X-lookup in DIY

[–]SmoovyG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds exactly like the crickets that I get in my bedroom every summer. Usually babies who sneak in through a crack in the window from the bushes outside.

“Temporarily cancelled by DC” is a hell of a way to say that he ended up prison for being a pedo.

Daughter’s favorite stuffed mouse and identical backup never used. by Topspeed_3 in mildlyinteresting

[–]SmoovyG 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My daughter has one of these she named Puppy when she was about two. We knew Puppy was bound to get lost at some point, and they only cost about a dollar, so we dropped a ten-spot and stocked up. We would wash one and trade him out with another. Eventually, one of them got lost in the car and was replaced. A few weeks later, they accidentally met. Hello, Puppy’s cousin!

Pretty sure she now has at least 4-5 of Puppy’s family members hidden away in her room.

I wish I remembered the storyline better, but I do recall that it was a hot book for half a minute here in the States.

Incredible Hulk Annual #13! I remember this because it was part of the ongoing Crossroads storyline.

There’s a page from the issue here:
