COMIC BOOK COVER GALLERY: 65th Issues Acquired In The '60s, '70s, and '80s

Hey, here's a random subject: A gallery of the 65th issues of a variety of comic book series. Why # 65? Well, I'm 65 years old, and although my ongoing obsession with comics commenced in earnest when I was six years old in 1966, the first comic books I remember reading were when I was five, in '65. So: Why not # 65?

We'll be sticking exclusively to the '60s-'80s era of acquisition I've established for these galleries. Today's selection includes books I bought new, back issues I acquired after the fact (but within the timeline), and B-stock contraband originally purchased without their covers. As always: These aren't actual photos of comics in my collection. But I did have each and every one of 'em at some point in time.

Well, except for Vampirella # 65. I threw that in because she's, y'know, Vampirella.
