Yeah, I think cover dates is the only way to go. Just curious, if there is a title that was being published at that time - let's say Brave and the Bold - that wasn't monthly, and there was only Nov 77 and Jan 78 issues, do you skip that title, or decide that Nov 77 is the proper one?

I skip the ones that don't have December cover dates. Seemed like that would be simpler.

I had a buddy get frustrated with collecting runs... he loved FF but knew he could never afford the early issues... so he came up with an idea to pick a date and collect every issue that came out with a specific month from a specific year.

 

He chose to pick the month he started collecting which was books cover dated September 1982.

 

Last time I talked to him, he was still trying to find some of the Charltons that came out at that time.

 

Collector's mentality I suppose... but it does seem like a fun idea to try to attempt

I realized that I'd never compete a run of some of my favorite DC titles that go back into the Golden Age, so I've set the goal of a complete run of a title published during my lifetime (April 1962). I recently got the last Action I needed - thanks, Chip! - so now I have complete 4/62-present runs of Action, Flash, Jimmy Olsen, Superboy, Superman, and World's Finest.

 

I like this idea - I've been slowly trying to pick up a copy of everything published during the month I was born, but this gives me something to shoot for if I ever finish my birth month set.

 

 

Not a bad set to look for. What month would that be? And you are going by cover dates?

Dec of 77. Decided to go by cover dates, even though I know those weren't necessarily the ones on the stands that month.

anyone that didnt get a chance to get the Han figure variant... MCS has them for 7 bucks... beats paying 25 on the bay... also have Leia for 5... cheers =)

In case I'm the only one who is slow on the uptake, the Vader and Leia variants are for their respective series. I checked and doubled check the MCS listings for the main Star Wars series and only found the Luke and Han covers. Then the light slowly dawned.

I don't know how it is anywhere else but I am selling a ton of the N52 Batman #1 WB Studio Tour variants on my site. I've sold over 20 in the past 2 weeks at 50 a pop. They are all over the place on eBay...in the 25-75 range.

 

Anyone have an idea what the print run on that book was?

 

It was selling for $100 when it came out. In fact, just to get one I think you had to pay a $75 entrance fee or something ridiculous.

 

I don't recall the print run but it's very low compared to what they do monthly. Like a quarter or less. It has floated around on the web.

Thanks!

Voodoo Heart is his collection of short stories. I thought it was really well done.

Received my first shipment from Paul today. Packaging was great and the books were as good or better than advertised. Would happily buy from him again.

Been reading this since it started. Came home yesterday to find that it had blown up. My LCS had a stack yesterday. Went back today and every last issue was gone.

Along with my dreams of speculator glory.

I read the first issue, and decided to wait until I had a few more to plow through all at once. I liked the first enough to get Kindt's "Super Spy" out of the library, FWIW.
