The Tank Girl I got a good deal on and it will join my TG collection. The "Los Invasores" will join my UFO collection. The "Doce Del Patibulo" (Dirty Dozen) will join my war collection.

The "Fever Dreams" is supposed to have an excellent Richard Corben Sci-fi story in it (some say his best). So I look forward to reading that underground comic. It is a first printing with 54,321 printed.

But the greatest prize in my mind is the "El Monje Loco" #50!!! That translates to "The Mad Monk". It is a highly popular comic in Mexico. I've wanted to get a decent one that had the Mad Monk pictured prominently for under $20 for well over a year. Basically, you will find single copies starting at $30 in various states of wear. Well, I was able to pick up all four foreigns shipped in a single lot for under $13 (after using my $1.77 eBay bucks - LOL) Anyways, here is what I got in the mail today.

As a WWII buff myself, The real gem is the Dirty Dozen Book. Nobody did classic War movies like Lee Marvin. One of my all time favorites. Is there an American version of the book?

@BigRedOne1944 Yes, a high grade Dell copy might be hard yo find. I just checked the CGC Census. There are 27 Universal graded and one Qualified. The Qualified and 24 Universal are 9.0 or higher. I suspect those are in the hands of collectors and not dealers. Your probably going to have to find a raw one in wild. That could be tough, expensive or both. I never really thought I'd ever own a copy. I've always liked the movie and I've known about the comic for years, but I've never chased it. And honestly, if the "El Monje Loco" had not been in that lot, I STILL would have paid what I did for it. The "Invaders" #1 comic is a Gold Key comic that I've wanted for some time also. Again, not an expensive book in lower grade, but the higher grades are tough to find. But those two alone, in the condition they are in, are easily worth what the seller was asking.
