Welcome Back

Lost treasure
Today I found these 3 penny novels to the flea market in my hometown. I paid 10 cents for each issue. And better yet, the store gets every week new booklets, past which bring citizens free of charge. Perry Rhodan The booklets have I left there, but con OCCU Dan Shocker and I've never heard of.
The publishing house, which she has published books in the '70s was called Magic Circle Press. Full hot. I hope I will not even read over the weekend.
A cool display in the inner part of Occu is written:
"Shudder is modern! ... Ride along on the wave of horror!"
Yeah, I have nothing to add.

There should be a book published about comic book back covers
What a Library!
I found a nice webpage with "Movies That Fell Though the Cracks" listings. It had also a great starting image about Steve's Library. Lot's of nice, some odd foreign comic book cover scans are added:

More Batman
I indexed all the regular Batman titles from the 80's till the 90's. I still have some issues missing. I remember that I stopped collecting the series because of the new paper quality and price increase at $1.95. Funny, that I started a new subscription on the 2012-Series which are now $2.99 an issue.

Help?
Ok, I've been doing this wiki for about 3 month now. As expected it will take some time to index all my comic book collection I collected in the past 30 years or so. I might need some help from a programmer who could fix some bugs and insert some moduls like:
- 25 latest entries
- Facebook-like/social net toolbar
- more complex search function
- CSS framework
But I also need some extra time, at least another month, to go online with this version.
Collecting Batman titles in the eighties
I started collecting Batman series in 1984 with Batman and Detective Comics. I guess I have 2-3 small boxes just with Batman books from that time.
