    I put together the whole Hush run (608-619) in newsstand this past year. The way I did most of it was through buying lots (I did luck out and find a couple of the individual newsstand issues at local comic shows). Obviously 609 is the most difficult/expensive in the run in newsstand, but you can still find it for relatively cheap by looking for lots or runs where people just don't really know the difference - and it happens more than you might think. I got my 609 newsstand by buying a full Hush 608-619 run that I ended up winning for $100 - 4 or 5 of the books in that lot were newsstands, including the 608, 609 and 612, and there was zero mention of that in the listing, I just saw it in the pics. I probably have about 4-5 full Hush runs now (including the newsstand run), so I'll most likely end up selling off a couple to recoup my money. But again, I was lucky with buying Batman comic lots that would often have 2-3 Hush issues in them (like 610, 614, etc.), where I was paying less than $1 per comic for a full lot buy. But that downside to that is also getting some comics you don't really want and then trying to move them. I also started buying copies of 609 a few years ago whenever I would see it for cheap at shows, and I was able to get 2-3 copies of it (direct editions) for less than $10 each at the time. Edit: Here's a pic of my newsstand run:

    Congrats to @asteroid-comix, that Wolvie 88 is a heck of a nice prize!

    It was a Golden Records insert in a record box set in 1966. The set came with a record (I think it was a read-along to one of the stories), a button/badge, a ring and a Batman Club membership card. And the comic of course.

    Have fun tomorrow night - my daughter is in her high school play, so I'll be out for the comics shenanigans. Save some Bats for me...

    I personally loved the Morrison Batman run, these are great books.

    I restrained myself on the 610 - great price but I already have like 5 full Hush runs...

    I just have to say I absolutely love that you're collecting and sharing all of this by the way. I'm sorry to derail your sales thread, but I recently was given my grandpa's WWII haversack, and it had a number of items in it, including a journal he kept for his first year in the war (1942-1943). He was in the 738th MP Battalion, which left San Francisco aboard the USS Mt. Vernon in July of 1942, headed for New Zealand and then Australia. He ultimately left Australia for the Pacific, where he received a Purple Heart during an injury in battle. He died in 2018 at age 96. I've been using his journal and online resources, as well as the book "They passed this way: The United States of America, the states of Australia, and World War II," to trace his movements and the greater context of the war from the U.S. to Australia and beyond. I've been scanning and also transposing his journal (which was mostly written in pencil and hard to decipher in places as it's fading), and I hope to put together a keepsake book with everything I can gather, adding context to the entries based on dates of major airfield bombings, etc. Again, sorry to derail, but I thought you might find interesting just a couple of the things from his haversack, including scans of my grandma's war rations, Japanese WWII Centavos, his first journal entry from June 8, 1942, and some of the places he noted that he was stationed:

    I knew Kirby was a recon scout during the war. Imagine - there could be now de-classified WW2 maps drawn by Kirby himself...

    I would assume Jack Kirby, but that seems too obvious...

    This pic shows Wolverine Inner Fury, but the text doesn't match. If Inner Fury is available, I'll take that and also these: Wolverine: First Class #1 Wolverine: First Class #1 (Family Dollar Variant) Logan: Path of the Warlord Wolverine: Killing At the 37.5% discount please.

    I definitely have multiples of this issue.
  22. Jesse-Lee
    I think I already have this issue though... Oh well, these are probably nicer than mine.

    Yay, Batman!

    Hey, I heard it's the first appearance of Hawkeye's 3rd cousin's pet hamster that will be in a movie in 2027...
