Someone on Twitter reminded me of something, so I went off to order it, but while I was at it, I decided to fill some more Superman gaps.

Superman vol. 1, #343-346

I don’t know how many more Superman gaps I’m going to fill but seeing that I only needed these four to have all of the 340s made me decide to do at least this much. As it stands, I now have a complete run from #330-375. I have other gaps before – obviously – and after, and it’s unlikely I would ever be able to put together a complete run, but I’m thinking I might shoot for having every issue published in my lifetime. I don’t know. At a minimum, I might try to get a full run from #300 to the end of the volume.

In any case, this was the thing I was reminded of that led to the gap-filling.

Marvel Graphic Novel #16: The Aladdin Effect

I remember seeing a house ad for it and wondering what it was about, particularly given that it featured four of my favorite characters on the cover, but I never got around to checking it out.

Now I can.

And that’s it for this mail call.
