Mail Call For 12.29.22

Full disclosure: I actually got these in the mail yesterday. Even fuller disclosure: I got one of them last week.

However, I held off on posting the one from last week, as it was part of a run of issues, but I had to acquire it from a different seller than the others.

Then, when I got the rest yesterday, I held off on posting them because I’d just done a Pull List post.

Anyway, here’s the latest Mail Call.

#33 is the one that arrived last week.

A bit ago, I saw some scans of a few pin-up pages from a couple of issues of Dazzler on Twitter and I remembered that I used to have the issues in which they appeared, so I thought I’d see about picking those up.

While browsing, I noticed that those issues featured covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, which is something that I’d forgotten about in the years since those issues disappeared – through whatever means – from my collection. Further, I noticed that he had only a brief cover run for the series, and while I wouldn’t have any particular interest in having a full run of the series, I would be interested in having a full run of his covers for it.

And so here we are.

The remaining item in the Mail Call is this issue of Superman, which I mostly bought because it seems like the sort of thing I should own and it’s actually kind of surprising that I never did.

Also, there are several pin-ups in this one, too.

The next Mail Call will most likely be for something that I purchased via crowdfunding, but that does it for this one.
