I am a huge Thor fan and recently acquired a Journey into Mystery #84 to add to my collection. A few days later one of my best friends surprised me with a 3D printed and hand painted/detailed Mjolnir and I think I found the perfect spot for it.

Her birthday isnt for another week, but after sitting on it for a month I couldn't wait any longer to give my comic loving daughter the custom cover I made her in the style of her favorite artist, Skottie Young. I think it was a success.

The daughter and I added a SUPER new signed Skottie Young print as the centerpiece on one of our walls of Skottie covers.

UPDATE: For those who have seen previous posts about my daughter and I's Skottie Young collection. We finally filled our second wall! 127 Skottie covers proudly displayed. 18 more on the way that I have to find room for now. She insisted on staying up past her bedtime to help me hang them all.

So ends the first year of my daughter and I collecting together. 46 trips to our LCS in 52 weeks. Our first Con. 827 comics in 6 short boxes. 145 Skottie Young covers (2 signed). 17 Keys/personal grails. A great reddit collecting community. A whole lot of fun and memories. Onward to 2020!

Its beat to hell and back, but its intact, and its mine! I figure the chances of me ever owning a Journey into Mystery #83 are slim to none, so an #84 is the next best thing. 2nd appearance of Thor/ 1st appearance of Jane Foster.

Cheers to another year collecting. Here is to another filled with adding keys, grails, sentimentals.

UPDATE: The daughter and I have been adding to our Skottie Young collection a lot recently (Ebay, LCS, Redditor generosity). We had to expand to a few new walls in the basement. (Blank spots are for ones that are in the mail). We are now up to 185 total!

UPDATE: 52 issues later, the 4 year old daughter and I have filled the entire wall with Skottie Young covers. We have a dozen more waiting on frames ready to start another wall (if we can do it before the wife stops us!)

New to the whole miniatures game but I have to say I'm learning a lot and really happy with my first paint jobs

Finally got enough frames (well almost, we are still four shy) to hang up all (most) of our Marvel covers by Skottie Young. We are going to need a bigger wall soon. My 4 year old daughter and I collect all of his covers we can find.

9 mo. collecting together, daughter and I hit our local con (a first for us both). We went as Into the Spiderverse Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. Had to keep a budget, so grabbed Thor 173 (First Ulik the Troll, and now our oldest Thor), Thor 337 and 338 (First and second Beta Ray Bill), and What If 2.

I LOVE my wife...this may be the new personal crown jewel of my collection, if not it's a CLOSE second behind by Thor #126.

LCS purchased a 30,000 book collection that he's been slowly going through. So far these are the minor keys I've grabbed. Not the greatest shape, but I'm a fan of raws and they were super affordable. He's given me right of refusal on a Journey into Mystery 84 from the collection when he prices it.

ASSEMBLED! Completed my Walt Simonson Thor run (#337-#355, #357-369, #371-382). Thor is my favorite character and Simonson's writing, covers, and art really do capture the God of Thunder the best of anyone (Jason Aaron is the next closest). Proud to have such an iconic run as my first completed.

4 year old daughter and I began weekly trips to the local shop in January. She loves Young Marvel (so much that we blew through a coloring book in about 2 weeks) so we decided we wanted to try and collect all of Skottie Young's Marvel covers. Just hung our progress so far.

One of her favorite presents my daughter got for her 5th birthday was a comic book sketch book my friends gave her. Spent a little while working on some superheroes this afternoon while her sister napped. I dont know how I got so lucky with this comic obsessed little girl.
