I also was looking for the Venom 25 walmart 3 pack and after my 3rd attempt I was able to get one. To my surprise in the 3 pack was King Thor #1 2nd print.

Anybody else find one or hear of King Thor being in the 3 packs or did I just get lucky?

si

I bought one today and got the exact same three books. The Venom was the visible book, so maybe I should have kept it sealed, but the plastic was bending the books. The condition doesn't look too bad once I opened them.

I got the $25 off coupon, bought me a really nice presenting copy of Eerie #2 for almost nothing. Thanks, eBay!

I just saw that Arnie's kid is posting Undergrounds selling them for his father on facebook.  Anyone know what's up with that?  Is Arnie doing OK?

Nice!

But, unfortunately, we can't let you in the club with those.  

Actually, I'm ok, I do have my Eerie #23 above in the thread.

Not as cool as a stack of Eerie #23’s would be, but I am still happy to have these.

I was wondering if the ug wiki is still able to be updated? Was checking on some new acquisitions, and it says Zap #9 1st has a .75 cover price, but no picture, and says the 2nd print has $1.50 cover. My Zap #9 has $1.00 cover price, I'm pretty sure that is the first printing.

I used to have a scan of WW Funnies #2. In the inside front cover, there was a mention about it being a second printing. I think Photobucket wiped out my account, so that scan is long gone, and I don't have access to my books to scan it again.

ok, finally have access to my books. There is a 2nd printing. There is a secondary indicia on the first page that states 2nd print.The second print's cover price is indeed $2.00, not $2.50. I actually do not have a first print, I have two second prints, so I need to get a first.

Hey there! I have seen several online references to a second printing of White Whore Funnies 2. Fogel lists both the 1978 first printing and a second printing in 1987. The odd thing is the cover price is listed at $2 for each. It seems odd to me that a comic would be reprinted nine years later with the same cover price. I also see one online site lists a second printing with a $2.50 cover price. I've never seen one with a $2.50 cover. Does anyone know whether there was a second printing of this book? Thanks!

That's great! A friend of mine that's a dealer once asked him at a con if he could sign his full name with the "Jim" included. He got a death stare in return with a regular "Shooter" sig. He also knows of customers who asked the same, they got just plain NOs. Of course that doesn't make him evil or anything but just something to keep in mind. His wife on the other hand got lucky and received the full sig on an SW8 recently which I bought  

I've never seen him sign anything other than the Shooter. I don't think I would have the nerve to tell a creator or anyone else I would want a signature from HOW to sign their name, other than where to place the signature on the book.

Jim Shooter probably yelled at someone once or twice. Not the most charming guy on earth

Not my experience at all. The Valiantfans message board had several meet ups in New York for various panels and other events. One time several of us sat with Jim at his table, and he told story after story about his time with Valiant and other things. Very friendly, answered all the questions and signed my copy of Adventure Comics #346, probably my favorite signed book in my collection.

Uncanny x-men 107gd $15

 

Package took 25 days to reach it's destination. Luckily, the customer was very understanding, gave positive feedback and asked which comics to read next (It was a set of the Tundra Crow volumes), so I gave her a nice list of the later Crow minis.

Rima 3 - 9.2 - $3

Rima 4 - 8.5 - $2

Life of Captain marvel 5 - 9.0 - $2

Marvel Tales 98 - 7.0 - $6

Marvel Two In One 2 - 5.5 - $3

Invaders 19 - Hitler sucks - 8.0 - $4

Not Brand Ecch 9 - 8.0 - $4

Uncle Scrooge & Money - 6.0 - $3

Media mail package has disappeared. Sent April 2nd. Was scanned one more time April 6th. Then, radio silence. Do you have to wait 14 days to open a case like I saw in the FAQ section of the USPS web site? Also have a package sent to the UK which was last scanned April 3rd, but nothing since. eBay is giving a delivery date of April 26th, for some reason, even though I sent it Priority.

I took a look... what a creep.

Those feedbacks are six month old... how is this guy still allowed on ebay.

I did my part, at least. Reported him to eBay. Let's see if anything happens.

Did you check out the feedback he's left for others?

No, thanks for mentioning that. I guess I can expect to get a nice feedback from him! Can someone leave you feedback on a completed sale if you block them?

I have up for bids a Fine+ to F/VF copy of Hansi The Girl who Loved the Swastika by Spire Christian Comics on auction with eBay. Opening bid is $49.99. Auction ends Thursday. Thanks for taking a look!

Probably stating the obvious, but have you tried to contact Fantagraphics and ask them these questions? Doing a quick search online did not turn up anything that you don't already know and I'm going to guess you probably know more about these books than anyone posting here would know.

Is it con season already?

Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, but the airport show in Philly happens every other month or so, so there are several throughout the year. My favorite type of show, low admission and 100% focused on buying and selling.
