I went to the drugstore because I had heard comics were there. I picked up Contest of Champions 2. Wow. What an issue! I really had no idea who these characters were but was eager to learn. I love when Iron Man blasted the Conquistador. Ironfist vs. Daredevil! It gave me my first real taste of the Marvel Universe. Secret Wars came a few years later as did the Infinity saga. But the first will alwaqys be COC.
I wanted issue 3 bad but had no money when I was 9....So as a little sneak...I tried to rip off the drugstore by bringing in Defenders 109 to trade to get COC3. It didn't work. They were mad because I tried to steal it...Yeah it was SO wrong of me. But that was a long time ago.
Man I look like a dork in that pic!
Glad that you were able to finally obtain this "childhood Treasure"...
ReplyDeleteAmen. I remember leaving our home when the third issue came out.
DeleteAny Marvel comic that featured multiple heroes either fighting against or with each other was a must read for all comic fans i think.It gave us a chance to see the dynamics between them.I never got to read any of these but would have been all over them as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThere is a TPB of it that is out.
DeleteHad these as a youngster.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading these as a kid. Now I own them on iPad.
