Collector-Mania

So, I've been away from the keyboard for a long while now, and it comes with great joy that return to this haunt of mine and slip back into the habit.  But let's take baby steps first, start easy, shall we?

I've mentioned a few times my quest to collect all things Spider-Girl and MC2. Guess what I found online? German Spider-Girl comics! Oh, yes. You heard me right! They are reprints of early Spider-Girl issues, including #10 and #11, the time travel two-parter. I love that story! And now I can enjoy it in TWO languages...if I could read German, that is. Oops.

My simply wonderful partner-in-life bought me the much-sought-after First Appearance Spider-Girl figure, completing the MC2 set of ladies. If you're curious, the others in the set are American Dream, Stinger and Wild Thing. Having the full set is wonderful, even if the...um...... proportions are a little impractical. I may cover these figures later.


Sorry, only have a stock image at the moment.


While I'm on figures I finally (FINALLY!!!) found a Famous Cover Series Spider-Girl figure for a somewhat reasonable price.Mint in the box to boot! It's interesting the amount of items that came out within the first year or so of the MC2's imprint's run. Speaking of which...



During my occasionally *cough*frequent*cough* eBay crawls, I've come across this particular item: Battlebooks: Spider-Girl. What is it? Um...I've almost entirely no idea. An examination of this 'comic' reveals page after page of static images of our hero Spider-Girl reacting to various 'actions' as dictated by a matrix of number codes indicated by a card included inside the comic. Confused? Me too. Also, you need a friend with another, different book. Nuts to that, I say.

Until I get ever last stinkin' one of these collectables, I remain
