What's the big deal with that? The only thing I can think of is "early Dreadstar" or "First Full Dreadstar" but wouldn't Epic 1-2 be better options since EI 1/2 are officially noted online as the first app of Dreadstar?
Epic #1 is the 1st appearance of his sword, #2 is 1st Vance
and Epic #3 is when Vance becomes Dreadstar when he and the sword combine.
Yeah, I know that, but since the Sword was actually Dreadstar, Epic 1 is noted as his first appearance in many publications.
If Epic 3 had Dreadstar on the cover, it would likely change in the CGC world, but none of them seem to.
Either way, it's a great series and definitely picking up steam.
I just sold a raw 9.2 copy of Epic #3 for $100 USD plus shipping privately and a raw 9.4 copy just sold for over $160 USD
The one on ebay that sold for $167.50? I can't believe there were 125 bids to get it there!
