I got ahold of X-Men 99, the blurb on the last page as far as I recall - Old Team Vs. New Team - Who Will Win?? I was eight in 1976 when it was published! I wonder how many 8 year olds were actually reading X-Men at that point? That would've been a tough month for kids on a budget. First issue of Six Million Dollar Man, Doc Ock throwing Spidey to his demise. The FF, Doom, Sub-Mariner, and some new guy(Shroud) all squeezed onto the cover of SVTU #6, the awesome Inhumans cover with Black Bolt in chains...so many great choices.

I started buying comics when I was 7 But I didn't know about X-Men then, that took a while, I only knew Spidey and Hulk. I do remember getting an X-Men #100 a few years later at a friend's birthday party. My friend's older brother sold me his copy for $1

Uncanny was the first title I bought as back issues, from Chuck's ads in the comics!

I've been organizing my comics and am finally making some progress. Plus I haven't bought anything new for re-sale in a couple months. Feels like order is being restored. Still trying anyway.

I'm all a-hunkered. Things have actually been pretty mellow. Have plenty of time to dig through the comics boxes and catch up on the reading pile.

I'm stocked up on tinned hotdogs and shotgun shells. Social distancing won't be a problem because I f**king hate everybody.
