Thrift Store Find: Two Batman Comics And One Dragon Magazine

Only two of the usual three thrift stores were open this morning. I found three items at the first place and I almost picked up something from the second place but decided against it. I found Batman #442 (December 1989) and Detective Comics #610 (January 1990) for fifty cents each. I have the first issue but not the second. In addition, I also found Best of Dragon vol. III (July 1983) for two dollars in case I ever play Dungeons & Dragons again.

The item that I passed up on was a tattered copy of Gold Key's Adam-12 since they wanted $1.50 for it. I might pick it up next week if it is still there.

GaF Double-Vue Presents Captain America Fights The Sleeper

The GaF Double-Vue cartoon of Captain America was called "Fights The Sleeper" and was a very condensed version of 1966 Marvel Super Heroes episode of "The Sleeper Shall Come". That episode was based on Tales of Suspense #72 (December 1965) from Marvel Comics. Tonight was the first time that I actually watched that episode.

Emma Frost Vampire

I am not a die hard fan of the X-Men but the teaser image for X-men #1 (July 2010) caught my attention. It appears that Emma Frost aka White Queen will be a vampire having her way with Scott Summers aka Cyclops. This would make a killer poster and I wonder if this will be how Marvel Comics will be celebrating Halloween this year.

I won an Iron Man 2 Xbox 360 theme with the code inside the box. Unfortunately, I do not have the game console.

I entered the code found under the cap, which proclaimed me a winner of a one month free subscription to Marvel Digital Comics. Unfortunately, I could not claim it since I do not have a Visa or MasterCard.

Super Hero Mugs Cookies And Cocoa

In my last post, I wrote about the Marvel mug from 2003 that I found at a local thrift store featuring the Hulk and Spider-Man. Thanks to Bubbashelby and Erick for confirming that the cup indeed belong to a gift set. I found several such sets for sale on eBay and here is a picture of an unopened one:

Thrift Store Find: Marvel Mug 2003

I found a Marvel mug featuring the Hulk and Spider-Man for two bucks yesterday afternoon. Sherwood Brands is printed on the bottom along with the notice that the cup is microwave and dishwasher safe. I am thinking that this was part of a Christmas gift set.

Check out the cool Hulk and Spider-Man mugs that Amazon is offering:
