60p pickup. Astro Boy from Gold Key, 1965. Not a good comic, not in great condition, but a helluva historical comic. Manga/Anime makes it's first foray into American Comics. #astroboy #silveragecomics #comics #manga #anime

Working on really cool old LIFE magazines. This photo hit home today, 62 years after it's publication. Our shop was already about 23 years old when this magazine was new.

Freshly pressed by Ghost Cactus Comics. My win off eBay Amazing Spider-Man 25. For some reason I forgot to do a before back picture. Out of all the comics I had pressed this is the biggest improvement.
Daredevil 42 - May 9, 1968
The first appearance of the Jester.
This issue was bought with 16 other issues in the series from NewKadia. It sticks out amongst these issues due to how white the cover and pages are for a Silver Age comic.
Just backed a neat looking #Kickstarter named #GalaxyGods
Very much an homage to #SilverAgeComics (think Jack Kirby) with some really fun character coloring and scene imagery from the samples I've seen - give it a look!

I was planning to stay away from comics for a bit, but... this Strange Tales 126 accidentally got 2 covers when made. Note the ripped upper left corner. That's only the outside cover! The inside cover is just dandy. Stop in to see it and more! Also, this issue contains the first appearances of Dormammu and Clea!
8/1/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.
7/22/23 Open 6-9p tonight!
If you didn't get your fill at #GemCityComicCon, swing by #BonnettsBooks – the #WorldsOldestComicShop, just a few walkable blocks East on 5th St.
Last night, I was supposed to meet with friends to pre-game the con. The meeting site shut down earlier than expected and I didn't make it. Luckily, a few of the gang brought the party to me!
Captain America 117 - September 1969
The biggest hurdle in completing my Captain America 1969 collection. First appearance of Falcon and Redwing. Making it a milestone issue. I was aiming for 7.0, but I got a 7.5 instead. I just need 17 more issues to complete this series.
Bought from Sparklecitycomics off eBay. This issue is going to be cracked out.
Another press job by @ghostcactus_comics on Incredible Hulk 108. The cover is now perfect.
I'm still new to the fediverse. Here's a sliver of introduction I hope will help build some new connections.
Who likes old comics? We do!
The "Guy's Back-Issue" stamp on Sure-Fire Comics № 3 (Sep 1940) is from our maternal great-grandparents business, when #BonnettsBooks was a year old.
Collectors may find they have a "BONNETT'S" stamped #vintagemagazine already. I'd love to see it!
