Does anyone know if this image has been used elsewhere?

 

This image was orignally an advertisement on the back cover of Rion 2990 #1 (Rion Productions 1986). The image is in black & white.

I think I have few more lying around somewhere.

There is now a GI Joe #21 CGC 9.9 on the census.

Just copy and paste TICK BLACK-AND-RED PROMO COMIC in the search function. You will find it.

Also this comic is for sale on the Tick website. Look for TICK BLACK-AND-RED PROMO COMIC. TICK

Anybody ever seen one of these:

It is an ashcan. I had 1 graded years ago. I can't remember the specific print run but I know it is less than 500 copies. Give me a day or 2 to find my notes.

 

So the full-size version of this is pretty common I take it?

There is only 1 version and it is magazine size. Ashcans are not always mini-comics.

So here is a little gem that very few Miracleman collectors even know about. I sure didn't until a few months ago. It took me a few weeks to research it.

 

Read the back cover and it will give all the information.

 

Miracleman appears on the cover only and is drawn by Mark Buckingham. Back cover also contains references to Miracleman and Eclipse Comics.

 

 

 

This is quite an interesting Miracleman item - one I didn't know about either until last year. It's not a fanzine per se, it's comic published by Richard Johnston, the comics journalist. It was published after MM 24 so is the last appearance of MM until 2004's A1 Sketchbook (minus a few mags). Print run was 3,000 and there was an ashcan version.

Thanks for the info. I am looking into getting more copies at my LCS. Didn't know there was an ashcan.

Just started my research on #1 & 3. Dirtbag #1-3 is turning out to be a hidden gem.

Just saw the updated census, 8 universal 9.8's so far.

 

tip of the iceberg

 

Updated as of what date?

 

 

Wasn't there Saturday, now it's there today.

 

Too bad there's no last updated date on each census page.

The census is updated every week on Sunday at 3 am (EST)

I never see anyone ever show this book. Is it undesirable?

I have to say that am I extremely impressed with everyone who contributed to this thread. Great job !! I wish all threads were this good and informative.

I loved the first 3 issues of this book.

If I'm going to pay $400-$500 for a second print, I may as well just put that money aside and hunt a 1st print. You might pay three times as much, but you're getting so much more in terms of history and rarity.

 

+1

Bingo! That's why I sold my 2nd print.

Someone paid $400 for a 2nd print, cgc 9.6.

Any clues to why someone did that - is it really worth that much?

That was my book that I sold. The same ebay seller that selling a TMNT #1 2nd Print CGC 9.8 for $ 10,000 bought the book and now has listed it for $1000.

Wow!!

 

Tada!

just got a hard to find book in 9.8

 

Great book. (thumbs u

If I remember correctly there is no one credited in the comic. I remember searching for the artist and writer online but was unsuccessful. Please see page 1 of this thread for a graded copy.

Can I join the club now?

Finished my Crow set - pretty happy with how the books turned out ...

 

WOW! That's impressive.
