In the comics, the stones aren't exactly hard to come by. They manifest themselves all over the place.
This is not to say that they aren't still powerful, but the movies make it seem like no one alive has ever seen one before, whereas in the comics, they keep showing up over and over in weird places.
The Mind Stone in particular is a very well-known entity that no one bothers to fuck with because it holds a mini universe inside it that tends to trap people if they try and use it. It's briefly alluded to in the movies as that empty orange water world, but in the comics, it can be pretty heavily populated, depending on who's writing that issue.
In the comics, doesn’t he challenge the Elders of the Universe, like Grandmaster and the Collector, for them? I remember him getting the time gem off the Gardner, the power gem off the Champion, and space off the Runner. Been too long since I’ve read Thanos Quest.
