Curriemonster's Comics

Just throwing this up here to write about my comic book collection that I've been working on since I was a small kid. After a visit to Canada in 2011 and spending a small fortune on issues, it has totally rekindled my passion for them. My particular drug is Captain America Vol 1... hooked!

Today's haul from #pinupcomics Cologne Germany. Nothing super special but a few nice covers never the less. It's ever more apparent that finding silver age and bronze comics in stores in Europe is becoming increasingly difficult. Visited another stored in the city that didnt stock anything older than 20years, sad really. #marvelcomics #comicbooks #colognecomics #thepunisher #thenewwarriors #theinvaders (at Pin up Comics und mehr Köln)

Another haul of books from CIA Comics and Lambiek Amsterdam. Lots more Deathlok, and a nice Cap America / Ghost Rider crossover. But above all some nice early Cap issues and Giant size Super-heroes issue 1. 😀 #captainamerica #marvelcomics #ghostrider #deathlok #marvel #ciacomicsamsterdam #lambiekcomics (at Lambiek)

Today's haul, covering some late Cap issues in vol.1. Really pleased to have found these in Atomic Collectables Belfast. Only about 14 more issues to complete all of Cap vol1 including right back to Tales of Suspense #57 😎 #captainamerica #marvelcomics #comicbooks #atomiccollectables #modernage #marvel

Picked up some dirt cheap hot wheels cars today (2015 series). Wouldn't ever usually bother with these sorts of things. But being Captain America clad and the retro vintage feel of these really grabbed my eye. Totally sucked in!!! #hotwheels #captainamerica #marvelcomics #vintagemarvel

Todays purchase from the fantastic chaps @comicbookguysni Captain America #172. Featuring Banshee, another great addition and bringing me ever closer to filling out my volume 1. Only 18 more issues to go. 😀 #bronzeage #marvelcomics #captainamerica #comicbooks #comicbookguys

Today my Star Wars #42 from 1980 the 1st appearance of Boba Fett, got an upgrade with a signature from the man himself Mr. Jeremy Bulloch. 3rd time meeting him, and still a total legend. 😁 Love seeing him here in Belfast. #jeremybulloch #bobafett #starwars #marvelcomics #bronzeage #belfastfilmandcomiccon (at The SSE Arena, Belfast)

My friend @kingofpain666 got me this bad boy from Germany. Die Spinne... Republishing in mini format and in German some old skool Spider-Man and hulk. A nice wee gem from 1989. 😎 cool addition to the collection. #dispinne #Spiderman #german #hulk #marvel #bronzeage

The generosity of people never ceases to amaze me. 3 free comics landed on my desk today from 2 different people. Chuffed to say the least. Do a favour here and there and you get lovely things like this without expecting them. Today is a good day 😊 I'm extremely grateful. #gifts #marvelcomics #avengers #snakeplissken #escapefromnewyork #marvel #marvelcomiccollection #comicbooks #comics

Awk sure it's only aul Michael Rooker hanging out with me and my Mrs @requin49 at Dublin Comic Con. A solid fella and good Craic, calling Emma a cutie and asking if she can cook. With a 'yes' answer he shouted "she's the woman of my dreams" ha ha legend! 😄 #dublincomiccon #michaelrooker #mereldixon #walkingdead #comiccon

Another book I had signed at Dublin comic con this weekend. 'Captain America - red white and blue' from 2007. The fantastic David Lloyd (of V for Vendetta fame) who was the artist on 'The Pledge' signed this piece for me. A very cool guy and so many stories of dark horse comics and them dropping the ball on his work over the years. Very interesting fella indeed. #captainamericacomics #marvel #marvelcomics #davidlloyd #marvelcollection #captainamerica #comicbooks #dublincomiccon
