Parabellum

Absolutely not, if it sells for that I will be shocked. I’d rather not have the book than pay that price.

Definitely a good move. Let’s hope that if there is a new movie is not pure garbage like the last couple. I hate saying it but the Aliens move to Marvel will probably have a positive effect on these earlier books, Marvel just has a bigger fan base. Dark Horse was and always will be a niche comic publisher.

I would hold on to it, now isn’t the time to sell. I personally think the $7500 sale was the outlier. I’d put this book between $3-4K, currently. The updated label hasn’t caught up to the market yet. It’s possible that with the new first appearances added the value may increase.

Value for the average collector $300, for me its a different story. I paid $500 for a 9.8 third print (only copy on the census) so I would be willingly to pay more since its a second print.

Batman over Superman anyday.

I remember when I purchased this you had told me that the remark was your idea and that I should frame it. It stuck with me, I had just been slacking on getting it done. Better late than ever I guess. I’m surprised you didn’t keep one for yourself to go next to the OA.

Finally got this framed after 5 years!!! I’m moving soon and this will be center stage on the man room wall.

Thank you! It’s been a long road (since 2016). Finding a copy is easy, the challenge is finding it in high grade. As of now there aren’t any copies graded at 9.8. The raw copies I find are not 9.8 candidates.

Thanks buddy!

Awesome!

Dark Horse Presents vol 1 so far…

Here is current photo of my Aliens 1988 9.8 set. #1 first, third, fourth, and x2 fifth prints (missing second print) #2 first, second, third, fourth prints (complete) #3 first, second, third prints (complete) #4 first, second prints (complete) #5 first, second prints (missing third print) #6 first print (complete, there was a rumored second print of this book but that has been proven to not exist) I have a first print of the Trade Paperback (9.8 candidate) that is off to joeypost for a press and then CGC.

I would be very happy as well!! And you got the updated label, congrats! Was this an original copy you got when it came out?

All in one shot and I still want more.

Love that cover!!!
