Here is a repost of Micronauts #1 that I posted in a thread of #1's Micronauts #1 It is not in the box I'm going through. The box I'm going through has not been assimilated into my regular collection, In it are 3 copies of.... Micronauts #7 and 2 copies of... Micronauts #8 So I should have at least one more of each since these are comics I picked up much later. I'm betting I bought these from Earl Shaw for a buck, but I could have gotten them at any store closing sale. Micronauts was a hot book when I got out of collecting. #1 would have been a $10 book at that time and that's a nice markup over a 35ยข cover price. I'm going to assume #7 is the first appearance of Captain Universe. I know I like the Man Thing character, but not enough for me to normally buy three extra copies of a book I already own. Defiant1

These are in really nice condition and they have price stickers on them with my handwriting on them. This would have been duplicates in my collection that I bought new and planned on selling at one point. They were purged from the personal books I planned on keeping.

I have an incomplete set of Micronauts that I will eventually complete if I ever find the issues I need in a cheap bin. Not a priority at all, though. There's also a later 20 issue series with the sub-title "The New Voyages" that I would like to get. I really like the Man-Thing cover on #7. According to wikipedia, Captain Universe's first appearance was in #8, so maybe you did like the Man-Thing enough to buy a bunch of extra copies!

d**n! You're right! I just looked. I was hoping it was a cameo at least... but no. Looking at this inside makes me wonder it Michael Golden's art would still be so highly regarded if lesser inkers had inked his early art. Rubenstein inked #7.
