Thanks! The tough part about acquiring an Adams piece is that it appears to be all by chance, i.e., right time, right place.

Very light on the number of purchases this year, but I managed to add some long-time wanted pieces to the collection. A Clay Mann splash featuring a bunch of Valkyries, a Jim Lee Harley Quinn splash, and a Tom Grummett Valkyrie (with Medusa & Elsa Bloodstone)faux cover commission for my Valkyrie & the Lady Liberators themed commissions. Also, a Gary Frank Harley page, a Tony Daniel Harley DPS, as well as a nice little Eddy Barrows Harley page that I like more and more every time I look at it. Please feel free to leave comments on CAF! :P

Wow.. Great thread.. made me check .. and I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'd tasked myself to not by "small" / impulse purchases and instead focus on the biggies..

The year started with a Fabulous splash by Ian Churchill that I remember flooring me when i first read the comic in 2003-4 i think..

edit : In hindsight, I guess the Rude and the Mayhew were impulse purchases, but I'm still happy to own 'em

Love seeing all the great art ... hate that I never really keep track of what I actually bought in a calendar year.

Good stuff!

I'm the complete opposite. I keep a spread sheet of my purchases and I also update my CAF on a regular basis.
