Went to my local shop Super Fly Comics & Games in Yellow Springs, OH. Despite having to stand in line in the rain for 20 minutes waiting for them to open, it was a fun day. Got some great freebies, got to chat with Matt Fife and Matt Rogers, co-creators of Happy Astronaut and Slaughter Otter. They had a store exclusive cover of Happy Astronaut #1 available. Everything in the shop was 25% off so I grabbed some back issues, including a beat up copy of Dale Evans #2 from 1948 featuring a 7 page Alex Toth story, and handful of Kubert war covers.

And these were the back issues I grabbed while there...

25% off sticker for these. The Dale Evans is a bit beat up, but I'm a huge Toth fan and I couldn't pas sup a Toth story from 1948 for $7.50 after discount.

Nice haul! I was kinda intrigued by the Mighty Nein comic, but I'm not going to make it out today.

Heading out in two hours, will see how the last hour at AF comics is gonna be. Had to work this am, which was ok as I avoided the idiot-rush and all the cosplayers.

I had an amazed chuckle when I saw some of the back issues you picked up. I guess our comic book interest align on a few more points besides an interest in REH characters. These are the titles I got today from the 50 cent bins.

Awesome. I need 3 issues to complete my 'Nam run. I don't se many Dc War books in the bargain bins any more, but I am filling in the runs where I can, especially when Kubert did the cover or interior work.
