Ok I mesaged world wide comics to see if they had any idea were my 9b came from my email to them==> I was wondering if you would know who you bought the red sonja 9 I bought from you was and If I could contact them to find out where they got it raw ? What I am up to is I am trying to track down were the second print red sonja 9s were distributed in the USA You likely didnt know when you sold it that it was a rare second print and I am guessing the person before you didnt know So my goal here is to figure out were in usa it was sold originaly then figure out why marvel reprinted a low selling book Thanks the answer===> Sorry for the late reply on this email, but we have been traveling and a lot lately. I was not aware the #9 was a reprint copy, but we got it in an auction lot last year and I could not tell you where in the country it came from, sorry. Looks like a cool task trying to isolate where they were distributed. It probably would not result in anything, but did you try contacting Marvel? Stephen Ritter WorldWide Comics ---------------------------------- So looks like I will be fallowing that advice amd contacting Marvel !!! Isnt comic colecting fun !!!! THANKS Stephen +++++++++++++++++++ Let the fun begin I sent this to marvel.com ===> This is a long shot I am trying to find out who in marvel would know about a second print book that was published in 11/78 It seems almost know one knows about the second printing of Red Sonja 9 (11/78) and I am trying to track down its history Thank you

looks great! Everyone on the planet is in the club they just dont know it

How badly dose the high humidity and heat efect 1970's books in page condition there ? Is it safe to say none have good page quality?

Wasnt there US army bases in Philippines ?

No its seems to much for that grade ? There are some pence 24's out there same grade Gad I get burned on theses raw books so bad !!! Comic collecting is FUN

Realy nice conan and red sonja pictures posted over here http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6076709&fpart=18

still needs a beter writers the story is so so

The 23 is tempting the 24 is over priced CFP comics has not sent me a bill yet and I an saving for a invaders 4 so this will have to wait !

#23 9.8 on ebay !!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370655855847&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:CA:1123 they have a 24 to !!!!!!!!!!!

Those 2 9.6 books were well bought I guess my not so good argument is that the ability to find raw 9.8books is right on the limit of imposable with out gambling Ok so if I am corect then in next year we should see 4 or 5 more 9.6 /9.4 apear with just the ocational 9.8 Red Sonja is a HIGH class rare Lady !!

If you look closely at those two copies there's no way they are NM+. I doubt they would even get a 9.4 from CGC. Corners are too banged up with color breaks, and the price they're asking is kinda high. Sure young people always picking on us haft blind old people !!!! You wait till you keep walking into the door every night on the 8th trip to the toilet !!! When I was younger walking 5 miles to school over 6 big hills I could see 12 miles in the moonlight on a cold winter night at - 40 !

NICE COVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! regarding the #1 I looked my pence version and as stated back a few pages its identical but for the Marvel-all- colour comics at the top WAIT !!!! How do you spell color in UK ?? just checked the brits spell it like I did as a kid *our* And I am begining to understand that the colecting comunity is not calling that a reprint OR second print number 1 january 1977 printed in usa

I didnt know my super special 38 was not a original story but a copy of anotther original story Thanks notice the costume !!!!

RED SONJA 9B WHY SO MAY???????? By the numbers ==================== Red Sonja #6 Universal total submited with a chance at 9.8 = 21 14=9.8 5=9.6 2=9.4 Red Sonja #7 Universal total submited with a chance at 9.8 = 16 10=9.8 4=9.6 2=9.4 Red Sonja #8 Universal total submited with a chance at 9.8 = 12 4=9.8 8=9.6 0=9.4 ***************** Red Sonja #9 (a 5/78) Universal 5=9.8 7=9.6 0=9.4 total submited with a chance at 9.8 = 19 1=9.2 Red Sonja #9(a 11/78) Universal 5=9.8 1=9.6 0=9.4 **************** Red Sonja #10 Universal total submited with a chance at 9.8 = 15 7=9.8 7=9.6 1=9.4 Red Sonja #11 Universal total submited with a chance at 9.8 = 17 9=9.8 5=9.6 3=9.4 ================= My conclusion (my hummble opinion) What ever the print run was for red sonja 6-11 there was a consistant # of pedagree books and a consistent # of HIGH grade colectors stashing them away There cant be many more high grade copys hiding out there ? In the last year in most of theses we have seen 1 or 2 books added And the price variation between 9.6 and 9.8 is only 100$ so that scares speculators from slabbing A nm 8 and 7 sit at world wide for months no one buying them My conclusion is that we need another pedagree or a speculator to get a new batch of high grade red sonja ! Isnt comic colecting fun !!!

In a raw book I suspect you have to open it and look? In a cgc book they will list it I did a lot of searchs about it and found nothing? So I think the task now will be to find a raw book with the later date ? Then some how track it down to were in USA theses were sold

Well I have proof !!!!!!!!!!!!

But how were the communist involved ? Why the change of costume ? So many life changing questions ! Snipped from comic vine ========== In the 1970's, after Conan the Barbarian became a hit series for Marvel Comics, other Howard characters were considered for introduction into the series, including Red Sonya. In order to transform her character so that she could be a contemporary of Conan, writer Roy Thomas altered the spelling of her name to the more exotic "Sonja" and made her a barbarian swordswoman from the land of Hyrkania. =========== ROY changed the name !!!!! I think we should call Roy up on this communist plot !! Now how to contact Roy Colecting Comics is history in action!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Thomas Thats cheeting !!! and if you read it all there is no mention of red sonja just conan I googled his name this morning and cant get a good explination of the story of dreaming up red sonja other than the standard cut and paist explination this was in 74/75 remember so I am betting communist were involved !

Dose anyone know what happened to Roy Thomas

ygerg you ever buy from world wide? I live in canada and they charge a bit more for shipping but its realy packed well and will send 3 books for 1 to canada as it all fits in the 1 box they have this one http://www.wwcomics.com/comicdetail.asp?Product_ID=MARVEL_FEATURE_(VOL_2)_1_22339 and I have found if you offer a reasonable amount they will take it on books they have had for a long time

Ok A WHAT THE HELLLL post ! Mercy what happened to white pages and who shook this book ?? The marvel feature books are generaly beter than this but look close at top right corner that cant be white pages !!! http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=121242&lotNo=14362#Photo So lets play ------ Guess the price !!!! My guess sells for 38$
