4. I'm not a big collector - my husband has a comic collection, though.

He adds to it every now and then. I found him those first four Amazing Stories I posted about a year or so ago.

Wondering if any of these or all of them would be a worthwhile gift. The seller is a regular at the thrifts I go to, but, I tend to be wary of him and his wife because he comes off as intense. Like it’s more business than fun. Which is the exact opposite of me, as I am casual about it and see it as fun.

Anyway, I figured there’d be trusted opinions here at DU. I can’t ask my husband because that would ruin the surprise..

BTW....The only things I personally collect are books illustrated by Harry Clarke. Yes, I’m a weirdo. Heheh

5. You know that on eBay you can assess the reliability of the seller?

Unlike local sources.

Read the feedback for the seller.

I’m mostly into places like ReStore and just buying what I think is cool to me.

Long running SF magazine typically leans toward the "hard SF".
That's a great cover.

Still debating on the purchase since I think I know the seller, but, feel I have some time to decide as my husband’s birthday is in June.

Was best known for his illustrations for the Dune series.
Frank Herbert once remarked that Schoenherr was the only man to visit Dune.

Expect collectors interest to increase as there's another Dune movie currently in production.
